The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1908-09-04

was not entertained b. the Austrian
nobility. He was on the continent
ave months. this does not include the
vacation trip on the Mediterranean
The excursion lasted about SIX
months. He could not say how many
insane bodies he had examined IN
Columbia. He has held autopsies all
over Maury for himself and others
probably ten in this county.
Witness left Maury county in Jan
nary. 1906. Witness did not read
medicine under DR.. Pillow. When
witness left Columbia there were per-
hans nine or ten physicians here. So
far as he knew all the physicians oil
the county except possibly one would
consult with him.
The young man described in the
hypothetical question had an unclass-
ifiable disease. He does not come IN
the domain of any special form OF IN
sanity. 1t is not exactly a disease
but is one for the time being. 1t IS
defined as a arrangement; every
deviation indicates a arrangement OF
the mind.
Witness said that he could not an
swer YES or no to the question OF
whether or not this was disease In
one way the terms disease and de-
rangement can and are used synon-
imously. In this case it could be
disease or a arrangement. 1t was
diseased arrangement. Witness said
he had no arrangement about getting
pay for coming to Columbia, but ne
usually got $50 for a professional visit
to Columbia, but he would charge $50
S75 or 800 for coming here
this time. He had the hypothetical
question read to him just before he
testified on the stand, but he could
not remember whether he expressed
an opinion then or not
Witness took notes as the question
was read to him; it is customary Tor
him to do so. He took notes on the
points showing arrangement OF the
mind. Some of his notes showed
points of sanity of defendant His
notes were merely a guide to him in
forming his opinion. He answered
the question after he reviewed his
notes. He carried the notes through
his mind. 1t took but an instant to
examine these notes. He did not
keep these notes; they have been
destroyed. After defendant shot de-
ceased he returned to partially nor
NAL condition. Witness said after the
deed was done the young man in ques-
ton went away and in course of half
an hour he was partially recovered.
His mind recovered very rapidly; he
became normal perhaps in an hour.
Witness was asked if he thought all
men who killed others were crazed
and he replied he did not think So
Witness said he saw an original
draft of the hypothetical question
about a week ago at his office, and
went over it carefully, and his opin-
ion was the same then as now. Asked
how many insane patients he had
treated while practicing in Maury,
witness replied that he had treated
quite a number, but that he had a
delicacy about stating the names.
Mrs. c. A. Forgey
was the next witness called to the
stand She testified that she was the
daughter of the late Dr. R. Holding.
and the wife Of DR.. G. A. Forgey, and
the second cousin of defendants wife.
Said she knew the defendant very
slightly before his marriage, and the
first time she saw him after his mar
riage was in the spring of 1907, when
his wife was visiting witness and he
called there to see her. Defendants
wife, witness said, visited her again
last December, spending about two
weeks at her house. She came, with
her child, to her house from the home
of Judge Holding, where she had been
visiting. Witness said that she was,
at the time, on friendly relations with
the defendant. That she invited Mrs.
CRANBERRY to her house because she
was sorry for her. That she had al
ready extended her visit to Judge
Holding longer than she had expected
and was feeling mortified that she
was not invited to her husbands
mothers home, and witness feeling
sorry for her invited her to come to
her home. That she came and spent
two weeks with witness.
Asked as to Mrs. Granbery's condi-
tion at the time, whether she was
clad or not, witness de-
clared with emphasis "she certainly
