was sick in hospital, and when stan
ford White was present.?
Yes

an unfortunate condition." said Mr.. Del
mas Eve are trying to prove the men
tai condition Of the defendant by his
looks. acts and declarations. He Was mo-
,nentarily insane, and we are trying 70
prove It by q series of acts before ana
after this occurrence.
