contradicated Jackman.

The testimony of DIR, Applegate con-
tradicted that of Dr. Jackman, the ex'
pert for the defense, upon almost
every material point. He said that a
sluggish pupil of the eye was detected
in sane people who had locomotor
ataxia; auto intoxication Of the sys-
TEN might be due to inactivity which
might produce sluggish pupils of the
eys. A person formerly active and
confined in jail for a number of
months might become sluggish for
want of activity. DR.. Apologize furth-
err said that he did not see anything
about the defendants head that was
suggestive of mental disease. There
was nothing in the testimony, so far
as the witness had heard, that sug-
gested that Samuels was either an
epileptic or a paranoiac.
In response to an interrogation by
Prosecutor Craig DR.. Apologize said
that there would be no evidence in the
circumstance itself of man going
into a hardware store and PURCHASING
a revolver and some cartridges ant
the man saying he was $500 ahead
in change and had beaten a man ou
of that amount

Spouse to this question that the acts
narrated were Indicative more of a
sane man than an insane man in his
opinion.
Another hypothetical question cover
ed the ground of Samuels running
away from Keokuk and going to Kan
sas City with another woman. DR.. APP
plegate, distinguished and able alien
lists as he is, said that this unusual
conduct was not indicative of the &C
ton of an insane man. Witness be-
lieved that a man who was employed
on fire department and was respond
ing to alarms was liable to become ex-
cited unless the man was SO demented
that he could not become excited.
Dr. Apologize said that If a para
noiac committed homicide that that
person would not be liable to fondle
! the body of the person killed. The
! cases of paranoiacs that he had eX
amined were entirely different from
/ that of the defendant An entirely diff
ferent attitude was exhibited by the
patient. The paranoiac had belle
that he had committed a justifiable &C
and would be prompt to claim justifi
cation. If this case differed from tina
it would be different from any case o
paranoia that he had ever seen.

DR.. Applegates mental equipoise
was not seriously disturbed by the
cross examination which was conduct
ed by Attorney Hartzell, who is full
of ginger and shifty on all legal propo-

him to be witness in this case. He
further stated that the family physic-
ian was not always the best judge as
to the sanity or insanity of patient
for the reason that person unframed
would fail to detect symptoms shown
or not shown.
