that he still considered Naone insane.

fendant's infatuation for her. his con-
sequent jealousy on her account and
his declara ton of intention to get rid
of his wife

other on account of his subsection to
fits. Naone. witness said, left him to
become a clerk in the U. S. quarantine
office
Geo. P. Castle related that defend

first in 1898 and somewhat irregular in
attendance, witness thought because he

tension of an answer. Asked as to his
general appearance witness said de-
PENDANT was always neat in dress and
appeared all right mentally-in fact
witness was surprised when he saw in
the papers that Naone's sanity was
