CRABTREE DEFENSE STARTS
Counsel for Soldier Tells of Relatives
in Asylum.
ACCUSED KICKED DYING MAN
Two witnesses for Prosecution Tell
of Brutal Assault Made Upon
Captain Raymond After
He Had Been Shot.
ID KICKED DYING MAN

Much more than a perfunctory defense
is being put up for Corporal Lisle Crab
tree, on trial for his life at Fort Crook.
The defense began its case yesterday aft
etboon and introduced considerable testi-
mony TO snow that the accused is insane.
More will be introduced and alienlsts will
be called to the stand in the somewhat
slender hope of saving Crsbtree.
Judge Parsons Of Des Moines first OUT
lined his side OF the case. He said that
the evidence had clearly shown that this
crime had been committed. That there was
no denying It and that there could be but
one excuse for such a crime He said that
Crabtree had been discharged from the
Pennsylvania National guard to go into
the Marine corps, that at the end Of four
years he had come out with an excellent
character as a sergeant. That he was now
but q yaers old. That he had been dis
satisfied with the post at Des Moines ap-
parently that he was insane on June 1s
and was still in that condition.
Relatives in asylum.
Parsons said that he would introduce
evidence to show that there was insanity
in the family and that two relatives were
now confined in asylums in Pennsylvania.
Private Baroff was then called. He
stated that he had seen CrabtrSe sitting
in a chair looking out Of the window. He
had seen him walking about the quarters
mumbling to himself. on cross-examina-
tion II was shown that these actions had
made no impression upon him at the time
and that Crabtree had no friends in the
troops at this time and was Of q solitary
nature and fond OF reading.
Private Faber gave evidence along the
lines OF that given by Baroff and stated
that this was matter Of comment In the
troop.
Both these men were In Crabtree's squad
and they both agreed that he had been
patient with his men and had shown no
undue temper.
+. w. Saylor, g mason employed by the
quartermaster at Des MoInes was called
He had seen Crabtree in his cell at the
guard house soon after the shooting while
working there. He said he was excited
stared and talked to himself.
Tried to Bite Guard.
Private Flynn told of being posted a
sentinel over Crabtrees cell two days
after the shooting. He said that Crabtree
seemed to be in a sort Of daze at THU
time, but was quiet He was on this post
for some four or five times subsequently
Just after Captain Raymond had died hC
was similarly engaged. Crabtree had Just

blocked our request to have benzoAte OF
