dict rendered by the jury in the case
of Paul Falcon, the young Spaniard
who shot and killed his mother at
their home on St. Emma plantation
Dec. 13 last. The trial took place
IN the district court Tuesday, and
the jury's verdict was returned af-
ter o deliberation of Is minutes Dr.
D. G. Brumfield, coroner of the par
lsh, and Dr.. Tuite Fl. Hanson. who
examined Falcon to determine his
mental condition, testified that the
accused is of very low order Of in
tellect, but fully capable of distin-
gushing right from wrong. Attorney

prisoner by appointment Of the court,
sought to prove that Falcon was
either intoxicated or temporarily in
sane when he fired the shot which
ended his mothers life. and the evi-
dence of several witnesses was ad-
duced to show that the accused was
frequently in a state Of inebriation.
Falcon denied all .knoWIelge Of the
crime, and steadfastly maintained
that he had no recollection of hay
ing killed his mother. He will be
sentenced to expiate his crime on
