Robert L. Widdicombe, attorney for
the defense, dwelt on the fact that
the state presented the evidence Of
experts to show that the defendant
was sane when the law itself pre-.
sumed him sane, Alio's action being
one to indicate to the district attor-
lney that the defendant was crazy.
He claimed that the experts had

]dition Of this man.
Mr.. Widdicombe said that the only
possible explanation Of the murder
was that the man is an anarchist OF
he is insane. There was absolutely
no evidence that the man Is an an.
5archist and the fact that he was prac
tically IN starving condition would
indicate that he was not q member oi
any society. otherwise he would have
had something to eat at least. There.
fore the man must be insane. #
District Attorney George A. stidger
made the closing argument in the
case.
Mr.. stidger, made an appeal for q
