SANITY OF JARRAT I
. To BE PASSED.. UPON.
Many Witnesses Testify in Behalf
of Man, Who, if Sane, Must
Answer Murder Charge.
Especial TO The T,mes-Dlspatch.]

s. SUFFOLK, VA. July 30.-A jury In
lNansemond Circuit Court was occupied
all of to-day in hearing evidence
touching the mental condition of Cap
tain James Waverley Jarratt, charged
with the murder OF Policeman George
Smith on July 4th. The jury impaneled
to-day is sworn only to decide the
prisoners sanity or insanity. and has
no power to fix his punishment II he
is declared to be Of sound mind When
court adjourned tonight most Of the
evidence, except that of the experts,
had been given. Experts were In court
witnesses, including two practicing
physicians. One or more alienists will
be called tomorrow.
The first witness was B. f, Jarratt,
OF Greenesville county. Va, where he
was formerly treasurer and member
Of the Legislature. He is second
cousin of the accused. He testified
that the prisoners great aunt died in
an insane asylum: that a second cousin
now is in mad house, and that a
great uncle was born an idiot. j. Fl.
Jarratt, father of the accused. said he
himself was subject to nervous head
and frequently would fall flat and UNI
conscious. He had been similarly af-
fected for fifteen years.
Dr. F. Vann swore that the prisoner
was n victim of epilepsy. and that he
had fOurteen-year-old son who has
these attacks. Numerous other wit
nesses who have been closely assoc
ciated with the accused. said that he
frequently had epileptic fits: that he
would emit white ana then bloody
foam from the mouth; that his subsc-
squent conduct indicated weak mind.
and that his proneness to melancholia
had been increasing for several years.
He had been three times treated in
hospitals for epilepsy. and once at his
home sought to shoot himself with
pistol. Three inmates OF the county
Jail were brought into court. and tess
titled that Jarratt had had several fits
since being a prisoner.
j. Fl. Nurney, roadmaster OF the At
lantic Coast Line, said Jarratt had made
a very competent section foreman. a.
Thomas Norheet. witness for the
prosecution, said he heard Jarratt make
a threat five years ago that he would
kill any policeman who arrested him
If he could. One Of the witnesses for
the defense said the grandparents OF
3Jarratt were first cousins.
When court adjourned this evening
Mrs. Jarratt approached the prisoners
chair and sobbed softly on his Shout
der for several minutes. The crowds
are the largest which have attended
a trial here for many years
