one much shorter in length and deal
ing entirely with assumptions. If it is
not over a few thousand words. the
governments rebuttal and the surre
buttal will probably be completed by
tomorrow night.
The long wrangle over the big hypo-
thetical question which exceeds in
length any similar question ever pre-
scented in court occupied the greater
portion of the day. The government
objected occasionally, but the court fin
ally allowed it.
Then three alienists called by the de-
fence settled themselves comfortably in
chairs near the jury and prepared for a
three hours of consideration. The court
stopped the question at the end Of half
an hour and the case went over untl
tomorrow.
1t was DR.. George a. Jelly a well
known alienist of Boston who declared
that Jordan was suffering from an in
durable disease of the brain. which h"
said would bring death in three years.
During q hitch in the case of the de-
fence. the government called two wit
nesses who stated that they knew Jor-
dan when boy and that he was fully
as bright as his companions. in con-
tradiction to the testimony of the &C
cused mans relatives, who claimed that
he was mentally deficient.
A statement that Chester S. Jordan,
on trial for the murder of his wife. is
suffering from an incurable disease.
which will probably cause his death in
three years. was made at the resump-
ton of the trial today by DR.. II. w.
Page of Wavcrly. Mass, an alienist
called by the defence. DR.. Paige said
that he had made a careful examina-
ton of the accused man, and that Jor-
dan told him that he was provoked in
to striking his wife when he met her
coming out OF her room with d large
carving knife in her hand.
Epilepsy and epileptic Juror We're
discussed at length by the well known
Boston alienist, DR.. George f. Jelly.
who had also conversed with Jordan
before the trial. but DR.. Jelly refused
to state whether a person suffering
from such a Juror was responsible for
his acts.
