versa.ions he had had with Captain

Prosecutor White objected to any
conversations that the witness had
with Captain Hams. Mr.. Mcintyre
Informed Justice Crane that he de-
sired to incorporate a hypothetical
question to be put to the experts
certain conditions testified 20 by the
witness.
White objected to the interroga-
ton, declaring that the question OF
Captain Hams sanity was irrele-
want. Justice Crane said that there
were two questions anvo wed, one OF
law and one of evidence. He ruled
that as question OF law the defen-
dant could not hide behind the acts
OF an insane man, and that IL he
aided The insane man to commit the
shooting the defendant was Just as
guilty as If he had done the shooting
AS question of evidence Justice
Crane held that the matter OF Cap
ftain Hams sanity was admissible as
bearing on the attitude OF his broth
er at the time of the shooting. The
evidence being admitted, Mr.. Weav-
er continued his testimony.
Mr.. Weaver sad Captain Hams

Mr.. Weaver said he took Captain
Hams to Boston for a trip for his
health. All during the trip, the
witness said Captains Hams paid no
attention to wha- was going on.
Mr.. Weaver said that after their
business in Boston, he and CAPTAIN
Hams went back to the train. "He
still continued to pull his aair,
witch his mouth and whisper" said
the witness. ION the train his ac-
tons continued, and the captain
said: MY God. my homo is all
