who had immediate charge Of CToto at

DR.. Hutchinson said that Croto was sub
lect 70 delusi0ns, Imagining that be was
being prosecuted by man who was try
ing to poison him. II be was brought to
trial. concluded thesdoctor, he would not
have sense enough to put up a rational de-
fence. Dr. Wasson's testimony was along
the same line
During the hearing Croto sat arart
from his attorneys, apparently not realiz-
ing, and at any rate Indifferent The at
torneys for the defence, NJ. M, Gordon
and w. A. Lord, asked few questions,
and then States Attorney Senter said that
he would ask GOV. Mccullough for papers
