Father Says Gianini, Who
Killed Ida Beecher, Is
Not Responsible.
TELLS BOYS STORY
TO COUNSEL HERE
John F. Mcintyre Will Have
Alienist Examine Him in
Herkimer Jail.

The defence Of Jean Gianini the Po-
land youth who IS IN the jail at Herki-
mer. y. Y, for the murder of Ida
Beecher. his school teacher, will be in
sanity. Charles \. Gianini, his father.
spent the entire day here yesterday
giving to John F. Mcintyre, the boy :
counsel, a detailed history Of his soil
life.
Within few days Mr.. Mcintyre e3-
poets to have mastered this history
sufficiently TO select New York alien-
list who will join with Herklmer ana
Media County physicians in making
thorough test Of the ~ounS mans SAN
ity. Mr.. Mcintyre returned four Gays
ago from Herkimer satisfied that ms
client was not right mentally. lie IS
certain that the alienists will merely
give a name TO a condition when inV
one can see exists.
The information given by Gianiih's
father Yesterday was largely in fela-
ton to an hereditary faint of insanity.
Jeans mother he said, before his birth
was committed 10 an insane asylum.
Her dementia was marked by melar-
cholia and Authorizations.
Mr.. Mcintyre said that he consid-
cred his client a victim OF arrested de-
velopment. Not only did development
cease at an early age, he said, but
from that time there was mental retro
erosion. From that standpoint, Mr..
MCINTYRE said Ciianini might be called
not only defective but degenerate.
II cannot characterize the precise
form Of his mental disability said Mr..
Mcintyre Yesterday. 1T is undouot-
edly some form of imbecility or ldiocy--
the distinction is fine one. OF one
thing am certain--it is not paranola.
He exhibits a nonchalance and n
profound Indifference toward the hoilli-
eide and its possible results for him.
He shows no fear. Nothing seems to
disturb him. His mind does not dwell
on the homicide. His lips are conf
dressed. there is no benevolence In his
face; there is void-something is
lacking which is not to be described
but whose absence is Immediately no.
ticeable.
Despite his Indifferent attitude he
displays at times great subtlety. His
memory in some respects is remarka-
bly, keen. In conversation he shows
perfect memory OF events which are
far IN the past. In everything, now
ever. he shows a most marked irrespon-
sibility.'
His physical characteristics also Mr..
Mcintyre believes TO be those OF de-
fective His head has an apex just
about where the bump Of self-esteem'
is said TO lie. His sight IS poor; his
ears protrude, his fingers are distended
and do not join as they should when
