the hypothetical question before he
testified. He heard this question OF
last Saturday and his answer was the
same then it was on witness stand
He was not summoned here by an
officer, but was telephoned to by
/ Judge Anderson. He had talked tc
w. L. CRANBERRY about a month before
but not about his testifying until last
Saturday His specially during the
past twenty years has been urinary
and genital troubles and urinary and
venerial diseases. The latter has not
been his speciality. He has a chair
in the University of Tennessee and
one for eleven years In Vanderbilt.
He lectWed the last years on genital
diseases. That from his study job
and David had venerial diseases.
DR.. Glenn has written a book
on veneral diseases; this is
the only book he ever published.
He has testified as an expert in sew
eral cases, one being the Bryant case
at Cookeville.
Gen. Garner asked what witness
got for his services in Cookeville, but
the Court sustained an objection from
the defense.
Attorney-General Garner said that
the purpose Of the question was to
find that witness has testified in many
cases and has received an enormous
sum for his testimony.
Witness said he usually charged
$50 day for his services as an ex-
pert. He was liable to lose more by
being out of the city. He would

the defense. Asked what insanity
was witness said that there were sew

suffering from any disease, but he

not resist the temptation to steal.
This is not the condition of defendant,
he had only one idea on his mind.
Witness said that if defendant had
gone and gotten gun and deliberate
ly killed deceased that would have
been evidence Of sanity, but in this
case he suddenly ran
upon deceased and the brain operated
automatically.
On redirect examination witness
said he charged more for going out of
town to perform an operation than for
giving expert evidence. Asked by the
Attorney General If he would recon-
mend killing as remedy for defen-
dant's disease he said no he would |
not recommend killing for anything.
