CLAIMS EVERYONE
IS INSANE
A SUGGESTION BY THE COURT
DURING THE JONES MURDER
TRIAL

That would tend to show that we
are all insane" was Judge Gears COM
ment on a question put to Dr. Mays,
as insanity expert in the Jones murder
case, by Deputy Attorney General
Peters this morning. After long
wrangle yesterday, Robertson & Dunno
this morning got in long Hypothetical
question, giving a history of Jones' life
as shown bv the evidence. up to and
including the day on which he shot his
wife and her mother. The question
covered eighteen pages of typewriting
AT the end of it DR.. Mays was asked
to say whether or not he considered the
man described to be sane.
Il should consider him insane" was
DR.. Mays reply. The doctor was soon
after turned over for' cross -examina-
ton.
would it not be possible to group
together characteristics experiences and
actions IN the life of any person and
on them base a conclusion as an ex-
pert that he was insane?" asked Peters
Dunno objected to the question on
several grounds, but it was finally al
lowed, the court remarking that the
defense appeared to be trying to prove
everyone insane.
;.
II do not think any expert would base
an opinion of insanity on. the sane ac-
tons"
DR.. Mays was next asked if he had
not once given a certificate as, an ex-
pert that a certain person was insane
and three weeks later sworn as annex
pert that he was insane. Dunno OBJ
jected again. e.r
The objection will be sustained
said Judge Gear. THE person might
have gone insane during the three
weeks
THAT is just what happened" said
Dunno.
DR.. Mays was still on the stand at
the noon adjournment, under cross ex-
animation.
The defense has called as experts
Drs. Miner Hodgins and Wayson and
they will be put on in rebuttal. The
introduction of experts is likely to con-
siderably prolong the triad, and it may
last we'll into next week. ''

the largest can factory in the world.
The five gallon can turned out at the DeVoe IS

Herman Miller, known in Standard circles as
the father of the five gallon can" The ma

his work one man and boy soldered 500 cans

since 1888 three men have made 24,O00. 1t is

MISS ALLEN ALWAYS THE LEAD.

Miss Allen is peculiar among American &C

a leading role and that too, in a career Of more
than twenty years of professional activity. 1t

twenty-five years ago at the Madison Square
Theatre in New-York-had passed its 3O0th per

playing its heroine, that Miss Allen got her

the title role and acted it throughout the coun-
try. Her father, Mr.. c. Leslie Allen, was q
member of the company and presumably sug-
