satisfied no one except the accused. The crime committed by Alberto Olivo be- longs to the kind conveniently elassed under the doiIgs of Jack the Ripper. He killed his wife by stabbing her, and having carefully cut up the body, threw the larger members into the sea. How this was done was graphically describ- ed with scientific precision by the ac- cused, who took the stand In his own behalf. In fact, he seemed to wish to aid justice even to the extent of setting the experts right
 T used the same knife in dismember ing her body" he testified, that used in killing her, but l had to have it sharpened twice, as the blade became dull in striking the bone.''
 The exact manner of death was un- certain the accused himself despite his frankness not being clear on the point. When asked to explain the statement that after striking his wife, who was in bed, with a knife he fell down he re- piled that he meant that he tainted or lost consciousnesS-int the sense used by the poet Dante. And he cited two pas sages from the Divine Comedy" to make his meaning clear.
 He awolSe from such faint or stupor in about an hour. when he saw that his wife had three knife wounds in the head The medical experts. however, had ascertained that there had been hemorr..age from a wound on the nose. Confronted with this testimony. the ac cused answered naively: 1.-The experts state it was produced by a wound on the nose It is and has been my opin- ion that such nasal wound was super fcial. The experts declared it deep. All right My wife ever since she was servant at Vercell was subject r. frequent nose bleeding and also ta heart trouble. think these two com bined to cause the hemorr,la ge in ques ton. True it is that l found q little puddle of blood in the middle of the bed The blood had not spread. How ever, the hemorrhage was not as heavy as the experts would make it. Snaice it that cleaned up the blood withaM. trouble. At most 1t must have been about quart.
 Again. the experts having testitie@ that three ribs had been found broken and that such fractures must have an tedated death. the accused gave hi, own views thereon.
 II do not believe that" he testified But it would be impossible for me to ascertain whether those ribs broken by me after by wife's death are those eS actly which the experts claim were bro ken before her death.'
 Pressed by the question, Do you e: don't you know about this?" he set tl!e audience laughing by this reply, If tl'e experts don't know 1t for certain. is il not natural shouldn't be positive ei ther?'
 He must have taken certain Nri''t' in his work of disnlemberment for | hotly den..' that it took him twe.,-. hours to cut up the body. Two an.' half hours at the very most" he Sd. Twelve hours would have been necc sary for a large woman twice the si', of my wife"
 Motive. if motive 1t could be calle for the crime. was that his wife was fearful nag. He was man of som' schooling and certain intelligence while she was a rather common perso q domestic by trade.
 "When you ~cIlarried her" he wa, asked you knew that your wife was an ignorant woman, did you not?" H;a | =s@'.zii>. -.tet

attorney objected to this line of exam
 nation, whereupon the accused spoke


 up loudly: Keep quiet. counselor am perfectly able to answer. Yes. sir my wife was ignorant. and my purpose in marrying her was exactly to redeem her from her doubiy low condition, in tellectual and moral'
 You are Il man of some education: you have written poetry" he was ask ed. Did net this intellectual difference between you and your wife lead to coll- Jugal troubles"
 Not at all he answered promptly. You don't suppose that in order to be happy l should have married poetcss or literary woman?"
 But conversation with her was i'm. possible" he was pressed.
 Do you imagine l wished to enter into philosophical disquisitions with my wife" he replied, to the enjoyment of the audience
 Asked by the presiding judge, Were you not cross and stincy with your wife?' he answered; "I wager that with such woman even your honor would have been cross As to my being stingy, when that even we are dis cussing happened had not one penny saved
 Asked whether his wife was jealous of him, he smiled and replied. II am very glad you have asked me that question, because my wife was the daughter of a very jealous mother' An objection was raised on the ground that the question of hereditary jealousy was not an issue
 Pardon me-" said the accused In au- swer thereto but If 1t is true that gea- Jus and madness are inheritable, why not jealousy? My idea is that my Wifc was afflicted by a sort of mixed ica!- ousy, partly Hypothetical, partly hered itary and partly tictitious'
 These few extracts from the tcsti- monY of the accused would seem t0 suffice to prove both that the accused was proper person for an asylum for the criminal insane and that the iu4y in setting him free by their verdict were false to their oath.
 The court framed the following ques- tons for the jury:
 First.=I Is the jury satisfied that the
  accused, Alberto 0livo. did during the night of Nay 1G cause the desth of Eis wife Ei9e>tina. hy stabhng her wi'h a knife or other weapon?
 Second.-is the iJlsF satisfied that tA;, act drse"be.! ia question was com mitted hT the accused willie in such d defective mel,lal state as prevented lis consciousness ,and freedom of his actst Hhird-D:a the ae1uacd commit {ht act described ill question l W.th the intent to kill?
 IoGrth.-WaS it prenesiitated?
 Fifth.WaS it the result of sudden anger or profound sorrow, caused by urjustitiablc provocation?
 SiXth.-lf there was provocation, was such provocation grave?
 Seventh.-Did the accused commit the act described in question 1 while in such a defective mental state that, though 1t did not free him from respon- sibility, yet 1t greatly reduced such re. sponsiblity?
 To these seven questions regarding the charge of murder the court added
