NO. Your Honor, answered Lang
don, with a quick confident smile.
But shall prove ;h:,t, TOO before

The judge raised his eyebrows. but
that confidence was not without; It's
effect upon those watching the legal
due! between the Young lawyer and
the attorney for The state. and there
was Il breathiess tension IN the room
when Langdon addressing his new
witness, said Warranty:
''Dr. Foster you have told the court
that the defendant, Mary Pagc. Is Il,
victim OF attacks % 'rcprcsscd psy-
Ghosts. supcrinduced hy tho sight q.
intoNication and tho smell OF alcoholic
connections. Whom sufrcrin. from such
an attack, would tho patient hc con
scious OF what went on about her"
Certainly not NJ more than Z, pc
son in deilrium There are cnscs of
insanity where the patient, though ir-
sane. is still conscious of those nro,-,u.
and can recognize them. buy 'rcprcssed
psycnosis' Is like violcn; tclrwn Not
only is the sufferer unconscious az
those around her bu; carries no
memory of her own actions back into
her normal state"

But tho flame OF that dawn!n. hope
melted the ice OF numb endurance that
