EXPERT TESTIFIES
IN ANSELMO CASE
Physician on Stand Gives Evidence on
Forms of Epilepsy and Their
Manifestations.

Expert testimony in rebuttal was in
troduced by the state yesterday in the
trial of John Anselmo, charged with the
murder Of Patrolman Thomas +. Grif
fiths All yesterday afternoon DR.. W.
Brown Ewing was examined concerning
the various forms of epilepsy and their
manifestations. The defense is trying
to prove that ADselmo was suffering
from an epileptic attack when he killed
the officer.
Dr. Ewing said that psychic epilepsy.
which is the form the defense is seek.
ing TO show Anselmo suffers from, does
not occur among epileptics in any
greater ratio than about | per cent. He
said he had never seen a case of psychic
epilepsy himself and that it was an ex-
tremely rare form. The physician s
testimony was decidedly against the
probability of Anselmo having suf-
fered from psychic epilepsy at the time
he committed the crime
Half dozen officers were called
and testified that Anselmo appeared TO
be under the influence of liquor when
he committed the crime Ia contradic-
tiom of the testimony introduced by the
defense that Anselmo was not aware of
his crime, the police officers testified
that the defendant said. when he was
arrested that he had not intended to
kill the officer.
Arguments TO the jury will be made
today.
