after his first expert stated that Peter
c. Hains was sane on October 1, but was
in a condition OF melancholia a month
before. In answer TO the question he
said that Peter Hams was suffering
from an attack OF impulsive insanity
AS the reading OF the question pro-
ceeded, Mrs. Annis. who had been sit
ting with eyes closed. her head resting
on her hand, was seen 10 be sobbing

stand three days, ended his testimony at

its trump card. but he was very badly
scorched under cross-examination- He

fense- He gave at some length his OBJ

characteristics.

nue, Manhattan, came forward and was
sworn He said he was physician who
had specialized IN mental and nervous
disorders ever since he began his pro-
fessionaI career, twenty years ago
DR.. Manson told Of his examining Capt

Peter Hams September at the jail and
said he had made at least q dozen ex-
