time. He had been engaged in priv
ate practice since 1861 consultation
practice exclusively.
Ask to explain stigmata, he said he
used it in the sense of degeneracy.
He would say every person who had
head like Samuels was abnormal, if
not insane. He had thirty stigmata,
while normal person had no more
than three
Witness did not know that singers
had high arched palates and that fer
that reason they sang we'll He had
never seen person with the slug
gish eyes of Samuels who was not in
sane unless under the influence of a
drug or poison
The coated tongue was a symptom
of insanity-he made this statement
on his own authority
Epilepsy in this case was indicated
| by sudden outbursts of passion or
/ anger, such as when defendant seized
/ the wrists of his father. The sudden
| change of emotion at that time was a
! symptom of epilepsy.
BY his questioning, Prosecutor
Craig sought to induce the witness to
admit that the father-seizure incident
was not indicative of epilepsy Jack
/ man could remember from the testi-
mony he had heard only one instance
/ of outburst of anger on the part of
Samuels.
DR.. Jackman said the whole way the
/ murder was committed was indicative
of masked epilepsy; the contents of
the Samuels letter indicated the same.
Prosecutor Craig read Samuels' let
ter in sections and asked if there was
anything insane in them, and witne J
replied no But the witness said
the letter taken as a whole was one
that indicated paranoia.
Suspicion" was the delusion OF
paranoia in Samuels case. He found
no "exaltation and grandeur in this
case, but an exalted ego"
A paranoiac may have much to dc
!. with the person against whom he has
delusion Witness did not know
that certain medical authorities SAL
that paranoiac invariably had an
antipathy and aversion to the person
against whom delusion was enter
tanned.
A paranoiac might or might not &C
about the commission Of homicide
with cunning and craft. The witness
was closely questioned by the state
on this point
QUESTION: about Samuels' attitude
he said defendant could not, in his
opinion, simulate his general demean
or as witness had observed it in the
court room.
At this juncture in the cross-exam
ination, Judge Hamilton took recess
until o'clock.
Afternoon Session.
. The cross examination of Dr. Jack
man. alienist for the defense, was re
sumed when court reconvened thi.
afternoon at . o'clock. Prosecute,
Craig resumed his inuqisitorial pro
cess
The matter of paranoia was agair
taken up. Witness was asked wha
was a hallucination. He replied tina
il was an impression for which Their,
wa no physical basis. There were
hallucinations of sight and feeling II
all paranoiacs there was supposed t
be Authorizations but he had ha,
cases in which the hallucination wa
not observable and was hidden by TIL,
victim In many cases 1t could not b,
detected by the hospital physicians.
The strong suspicion of the defend
ant was an evidence of hallucination
The Samuels' letter all the wa.
through pointed to the existence o
decisions. Sentence by sentence tn
letter was all right. Suspicion wa
an emotion-not delusion.
The one delusion was that Samuels
wife was not doing right; there wer
no illusions or hallucinations tina
I manifested themselves. There wa
nothing insane in the defendant tell
ing his brother to go away and no
bother him
Witness said the general tendenc.

) The condition of sluggishness of tn

or locomotor ataxia; the latter carrie,
the presumption of the existence of
toxic poison.
An active man as fireman, place
in Jail, would not have the production
of sluggishness that exists in thi
case. A paranoiac of three or fou

ations but they might not be interpret

head of sSamuels was abnormal AM
therefore insane.
