position nowadays to consider this de-
Tense as the veriest excuse for i'm
pulsive bad temper, cruelty and the
disposition to take the law into ones

technical duty to the accomplishment
of their desires, when the accused

the consensus of opinion, ought to

1T is really legal compromise with
the truth So-called emotional insan-
ity' has been one Of the most frequent
devices selected to arouse false SYM
patty with criminal violence. People
have been led to believe that there is
such thing as sudden frenzy OF
passion, a feeling which has led man
to shoot another suddenly, and which
absolves him from all responsibility.
That is one Of the absurdities adopted
by certain desperate lawyers, who, in
the name of science, attempt to mysti-
fy hysterical juries. 1t is hard to con-
ceive OF any form OF insanity which
has not been of regular development.

precede the explosion are sometimes
with difficulty recognized. In this

Gus precedent that has been recently
adopted OF letting the outraged wife of
the defendant tell the story of her
wrongs with the idea of showing how
readily 1t might have infiamed an In
jured man and produced an insanity
which rendered him irresponsible.
"One genuine case has been made to
do duty as a basis for all the others,
and this decision was utilized in the
Thaw case. The case to which refer

1t Is to be hoped that the attitude
Of the courts in regard to the defense
of emotional insanity will be much
more stringent and unrelenting than
1t has hitherto been, and 1t is to be
hoped that the public will be spared
long and expensive trials, with the
exposure Of the disgusting details and
pseudoscientific forms of defense.

munity than are known. The husband
who kills a paramour too often does
1t in cowardly fashion, either shoot
ing him in the back from behind a
wall or in the dark. There is too apt
TO be an element of cowardice in the
way IL is done that robs IL OF the fine
frenzy OF feeling with which II is col
ored by the lawyers for the defense.
Frequently the causes that lead up to
these tragedies are known by the
husband long before, and even some
times condoned. My impression IL
that there exists a sort Of inexplicable
vanity. an exaggerated egotism, that
inspires the semi-heroic attitude of in
)ured virtue assumed by the husband
who shoots another man on his wife's
account.
There is another strange evolution
OF modernism, quite as remarkable and
twisted in its way as the husbands
motives for killing. The community,
going back to the laws of barbarism,
adopts the husbands assumed proper
ty rights In the wife TO be the moral
solution OF far more complicated
problem than they realize. Public SYM
pathy with these cases depends upon
the dramatic skill with which the hus.
band presents his story, the manner in
which he performs his supreme act of
egotism. He may so blundeg in the
frenzy OF his attempt TO impress upon
the public his chagrin and rage that
they discover an element of the ludic-
rous in the very heart of an actual
tragedy.
Decadent Public Opinion.
Such a man may often neglect his
wife, subject her To extraordinary
cruelty, within the law, however. or
completely ignore her tastes and in
clinations, and suddenly he is sur
prised that she runs away with some
one else. After broOding over his lost
property, and fearing the criticism of
the community, he makes one final eff
fort to be sincere, and kills the other
man, usually in some melodramatic
fashion. taking care to save his own
skin. While my arrangement is not

velopment takes place in community
where public opinion is decadent and
there may be a false standard of duty

apt TO do foolish things, or to disre-

While 1t may seem an extreme
thing to say, do not think anyone

although he had testified vigorously

sent for by the counsel of Mrs. Eddy
eminently fair and likely to give good
advice.
Ridicules Emotional Insanity.
DIR. Hamilton referred TO the many
important cases that have occurred
during the last SO years in New York
where so-called emotional insanity"
had heen advanced as an excuse for
crime generally, and was disposed to
ridicule this form of subterfuge. "As
most of us know, the Sickles-Key case
was one Of the earliest American
cause celebre, and even in those early
days made the judicious grieve. Gen.
Daniel Sickles, popular veteran of
the civil war and an eminently sane
man, after having watched Key, fol-
lowed and shot him down in the
street, and afterward pleaded emo
tional insanity so successfully that he
was acquitted, although it does not ap-
pear that he afterward suffered any
incapacity or showed any sign of men,
tai weakness, living TO good old age
and pursuing the even and sane tenor
OF his way.
In this state" said DR.. Hamilton,
the Cole Hiscock murder was another
OF the same kind, and was tried in AL
bany, n y, in 1868, Maj. Gen. George
w. Cole having murdered Harris His
cock in front of Stanwix hall on the
evening Of June 4, 1867, while he was
talking with two friends. Cole sought
out Hiscock, who had been intimate
with his wife, and, placing a pistol
within a few inches Of his head, fired,
killing him instantly. In this case,
like many others, the defense was
emotional insanity, and the defendant
owed his escape from the gallows to
the eloquence OF a Mr.. Hadley and to
the late James Il. Brady, for there was
nothing to prove insanity except an
array Of ridiculous testimony. AS an
evidence OF his mental condition II
was alleged that while in the army he
had constantly whitfield lockets, rings
and other perishable ornaments, that
he had nose bleed, and that he was
melancholy, while a number of relia-
BILE witnesses testified as to his excel
lent mental health at all times.
About this time and until 1875
there were a number of murders OF
the same kind. Judge Parker, In the
Cole case, instanced no less than eight
examples of men who had taken the
law into their own hands, and who
