lieved the young man insane the night

objection.
Cross-Examined by State.

sanity the common blood would flow
through brothers, and, therefore, a
cousin. the son of an uncle of the de-

asked by Mr.. Jerome if he was willing
to go on record before the world in
this case as a scientific man, after
merely witnessing Thaw's action upon
a street car in Pittsburg n from a
description of his killing of Stanford
