Very Much Disturbed.
He said that he had been very
much disturbed and excited after his
return to thi. country. and after Eve
treatment she had received from
White he had endeavored to adjust
his mind to the conditions and had
failed.
He finally persuaded her to marry
him. The night of the marriage he
made the will and the codicil while he

his statement regarding White. then

sistent with paranoia, would they
not?"
IF the whole thing existed in his
mind without any facts. they would
have been consistent with paranoia."
replied the physician. but this was
not the case. His belief was based on
statements he had the right to be-
lieve. Whether those facts were true
or not is no Indication whether he
was insane or sane. Not the acts but
his mental condition must be taken
into consideration"
DR.. Hickling said in answer to further
questions that a man suffering from re
formatory paranoia." or man who was
perfectly sane might try to save young
girls from destruction.
You may take your choice OF either
side of the CASE he added.
And you consider that II does not in

last Sunday. did you discuss Thaws trips
in Europe when he and Evelyn Nesbit
posed as husband and wife after he knew
the facts regarding her treatment by

Yes"
To your mind is there anything IN
consistent in a person who while feeling
outraged about the treatment that al
girl has received would afterward make
trips to Europe with her and live with
her as her husband?"
