he acted under the delusion that it was
an act Of Providence under the circum-
stances to which, in his mind he had
been brought to kill Stanford White.
And. acting under the belief that it
was an act Of Providence for him to kill
White, and that his act was right and
not wrong. he turned and went coolly
down, as a gentleman might walk down
TO speak TO a friend and shot that man.
He did not have any idea Of evading any
consequences for his act; he did not re-
gard the act ms wrong, but he regarded
himself as an agent of Providence to
carry out this act He held up his hand
with the pistol in it plainly, as a gentle
man being taken into custody, acting
entirely and directly under the domina-
ton of an insane impulse, the compulsion
being that the killing of Stanford White
was an act of Providence. and not wrong.
Gentlemen. l say 10 you that we will
show to you the reason why this man was
killed. We will show you the evidence
that made him do so; the evidence that
overturned his mind and led to this ca
lamity; the evidence Of this disorder in his
mind, both before and Immediately after
the homicide. And. gentlemen, we say
that upon that evidence it will be impossi-
bic for you upon your oaths to say that
this man at the time he shot Stanford
White was sane beyond reasonable

Mr.. Gleason then quoted the law on in
sanity and gave the definitions of muir
der by eminent judges and legal authori-
ties. There was "a difference, he said. be-
tween what is called legal insanity and
medical insanity. He added: THE physi-
clans have an idea that man is some
thing like a glass of water In this re
spect, that when YOU pour ink into it..
just as il I should pour some ink into
that glass Of water (there was a glass in
front of HIM. every particle Of water
would be affected and tinged by the dark
fluid put into it. Therefore. the doctrine
of these alienists is. that if man is in
sane, he cannot know right from wrong
In other words they 90 beyond the legal
definition. They say that insanity. being

wrong, but that his ideas Of right and
wrong are so tinged by his disease that
he does not know the difference between
right and wrong in any instance"

cution, smiled at Mr. Gleason's reference

to define the law. After a preliminary
explanation, he said:

as to put check to the constant
growth and development of enter
prises, such as has been going on
with geometrical progression for a
number OF years.
We have also reached period OF

Ing. which has been steadily increas-

est on those who were living on fixed
Incomes from bonds and real estate
mortgages. But It is q long road
that has no turn, and this country
Is too young and our resources as
yet so far from full Development
that we should have reached an in

which, up to the setback OF about a
year ago, had almost come to be
looked upon as fixed fact.
30 long rs our crops. are fairly re-
