EMOTIONAL INSANITY
MenIoe Moore Case viii Likely Go tc
the Jury on Tuesday Morning
With Quick
Verdict.

VlNCENNES, Ind, Dec. "a hypo-
thetical question of about 10000
words, which Judge w. r. Gardner,
for the defense, took ninety minutes
in reading. was propounded to three
Vincennes physicians by the defense
In the Menlo Moore case.
The question recited all the details
which have been brought out by the
defense. AT its close Dr. w. H. Dav-
enport stated he believed such a per-
son to be of unsound mind. He was
Immediately subjected to a. rigid
cross-questioning by Judge George W.
Shaw, in behalf of the state. Doc.
tors B. B. Griffith and T. ]. Nc
Gowan have not yet made their an.
swers. DR.. Davenport was still on
the stand when court adjourned. The
two other doctors will testify as soon
as DR.. Davenport has been excused.
For the first time in many days
the state was in a position to combat
evenly with the defense Judge Ccbbs
ruling that the truth of Mrs. Moore's
sensational story could not be ques-
toned, operated to handicap the state.
AS the result of the session In the af-
ternoon the state made better
showing.
On cross-examination DR.. Davenport
admitted that he read the question
before testifying. He declared his
belief that Moore. at the time he shot
Charles n T,ihcop x,,oe .,,,fpor;,,r. s,,> ~,
impulsive emotional insanity Then
he admitted that If Moore saw Gibson
and Cochran and nodded his head to
Cochran and did not shoot then, but
waited until a favorable opportunity
and then shot Gibson in the back of
the head, the indications were that
the crime was premeditated.
He denied impulsive insanity as
that form which caused an impulse
to overcome will power and made the
victim commit an act which he would
not otherwise do
Judge Shaw also forced the practi-
toner to admit that if man had been
uptown with his business partner,
boarded street car, went to the de-
pot, started for the ticket Office and
on the way saw a friend and ex-
changed salutations with him that he
was OF sound mind.
One of the most discussed uues-
tions here is whether Mrs. Gibson
wife of the dead man. will be placed
on the stand. She is still in the hos
pital. a victim of nervous prostra-
ton. The state is anxious to have
her testify. but her lawyer says she
will not be allowed to appear.
The case is drawing to a close and
it is believed it will be given to the
jury by Thursday morning.
Wagers are being made that ver-
dict will be returned in less than an
hour.
Mrs Moore left the courtroom while
the question was being put, and Mr.
Moore sat with his face buried in
his arms.
Mrs. Moore's father, A. j. Padgett,
testified that he had told Moore that
il he could not forgive his wife he
should leave her, and that Moore re
piled, He would die first
Moore imagined that Gibson was
plotting to kill him, Mr.. Padgett said
and after he shot Gibson he told
Padgett that Gibson had struck him
in the face just before the shooting
took place.
