The hling OF an affidavit by John B. Gleason
on Monday and his sudden withdrawal Of 1t
were explained yesterday, after tile announce
sTent of the appointment OF a commission. Mr.
Gleason, It was learned. had prepared BRIEF
under the supposition that District Attorney
Jerome was also going 10 submit one When he
learned that this was not the case he hastened
20 withdraw Il. The brief. 81 is said, was one
1F the most succinct that had ever been sub
tnitted 10 q court Of record in this county. II
contained but three sentences, two or Whicn
read:
Perfection IN expert absurdities is attained
by affdaVits as shown by expert opinion that
the defendant Is imbecile under Section 20 end
sntelligent and sane under Section 81 OF the
Penal Code. The defendant is intelligent ana
sane for crime within the meaning OF the law
but imbeciie and insane for all purposes OF his
defence"
Rumore we're current yesterday that District
Attorney Jerome was preparing TO have Mrs
FvelHn Nesbit Thaw indicted on a charge Of
perjury as an aftermath OF the homicide trial.
These runous were unfounded II was said, and
counsel for the defence laughed at them.
