Prosecutor Hartman, In cross-ex-
animation immediately tried to bring
out thatIshida might have been very

'Tt Is very difficult for sane man

DR.. Hill admitted that a person
could have delusions and still know
the difference between right and
wrong. with Dr. HiIl's testimony, the
defense closed its case.
The experts for the prosecution
were Immediately called to rebut bOtn
his testimony and that Of Dr. Oliver.

the prosecution, took the position that
they would not go beyond the formal

lnterrOgated by the court, DR.. Dun
ton explained that there are degrees
of delusion," and that a man may have
delusiOns and still be able to disting-
uish between right and wrong.
The big gun in the defense battery
was DR.. Charles J. Hill for 10 years a
physician, graduate Of George Wash
ington University and specialist in
nervous and mental diseases for the
past forty years. He is the head of
Mt. Hope Retreat, an institution for
the insane, and a lecturer on the sub
ject both at Baltimore Medical Col
lege and the University of Maryland.
Knows Accused Personally.
DR.. Hill upset the dignity of the
court by declaring at the outset that
paranOia is a very common disease,
both inside and outside OF insane
asylums. He. too, knew Ishida per
sonally, having met him at the Chi
cago meeting of the National Mect-
ARCHAEOLOGICAL Association, and al
a meeting Of the Baltimore City Med
ical Society only a few days before
the murder. The irony of lshida 5
fall from high to low estate was new
er better illustrated than when the
witness added that the next time he
saw him was in the TOwson jail.
He described Ishida as being IN
condition and reluctant TO
talk when he visited him nine days
after the murder. To him, Ishida told
the same story of persecution by Dr.
Wolff which has been repeated so
many times during the progress OF
the trial
'I decided" DR.. Hill declared, that
the man was suffering deiusionai
mania. All his statements and I'M
pressions led to that conclusion and
his letter, dated, December 16, and
sent to Japan five days before the
murder, forms a very good clinical
description Of a paranoia. Paranoia Is

anything but a feigned letter. and
won't even try to base an opinion on
| the assumption that it is other than a
feigned letter"
In the midst of the controversy in
which DR.. Berkley, Mr.. Grason and
Prosecutor Hartman all tried to talk
al once, tothe great discontinue Of
the court stenographer, Judge Burke
intervened, many in the court room
reading special significance into his
ruling.
II am going to rule that you can
not 90 any further with this witness" 4"
Judge Burke said, smflingly, "'and
believe 1 am helping you in so doing.
This man has said your client is sane.
II you force him to say he Is insane

his life.
Twenty Years Experience.
DR.. Berkeley, who is clinical profess
sor of psychiatFy at Johns Hopkins,
had met Ishida at dinner and had also
sat on the back seat Of an aUtomO-
bile with him prior to the murder. At
tie City Hospital he said he handles
at least $50 cases of insanity every
year and has done SO for the past 20
years.
He was not the first witness to
characterize the documentary evil
dence" of the State a fabrication. DR..
Dunton, in whose office the murder
took place, branded all Of Ishida's
writings just prior to the murder as
part of the premeditation in commit
ting the crime.

belief that Ishida is legally response

Cites Famous Case.
'Ishida's wanting to have DR..
Wolf arrested shows the litigatory
symptoms, his mad infatuatfon for
Miss Jacobs, which was in no way
returned shows the love symptom.
There is on record a famous case
OF paranoiac who fell in love with
Mary Anderson, the actress, and who
followed hcr from city to city for
years. believing himself her rightful
protector, and certain his love was
returned although he only saw the
famous beauty at a distance. Most of
our assassinations of public men are
the work of paranoiacs. Guiteau, who
killed President Garfield. was a
paranOiac. At the time OF his trial,
every noted expert in the country
said he was sane. Only one obscure
man Calmost as obscure a man as y
raised his voice and dared to hold out
in his opinion that Guiteau was in
sane. Today the case OF Guiteau is
cited as typical paraoniac in every
textbook in the schools
The way Islffda centralized his
ideas on persecution around DR.. Wolff
shows a natural trend of the disease,
which differs from other forms of in
sanity involving delusions in that the
paranoic delusions are always sys-
temized. That Is why a paranoiac is
often so hard to discover because his
ideas of persecution are apparently
SO plausible.

Ing absolutely without expert testi.

bulwark OF their position as members
Of the cpmnission, DTs. Hurd, Hook.
ing, Herring, and Rerkley, stubbornIy
refused to say more than the brief
statement that at the time they saw
him, Ishida was q sane man. What his
condition might have been previous to
that, all refused to say, declining to
act as experts. in the case and leaving
the entire subject a. matter for the
Judges to interpret as best they can.
Only one alienist talked with IshIda
Immediately following the murder. He
is DR.. Charles ]. Hall, alienist for the

sion, or brainstorm, that he is today
and will be until the end OF his life,

The two alieaists. DR.. Brush aud DR..
Dunton, who were associated with
Ishida up until the day Of the murder,
insist that they personally never saw
any symptoms OF derangsmsnt but de
clare the letters written by him are
those of paranoiac, either real or
feigned. They qualify this admission,
however, by insisting that he knew
the difference between right and
wrong when he fired the shots which
sent Dr.. Wolff to his death, almost

He declared nothing had been
brought out in the evidence to change
that opinion. Mr.. Grason Indignantly
called his attention to the mass Of
writings OF Ishida both before and
after the murder and asked the wiz
ness to assume that this evidence was
bona fde and then say whether or not
the man who wrote such things was
sane or insane.
81 can't assume IL to be true"
Berkeley retorted. Il can't see any

The Washington times., 1919-03-20


The action Of the members Of the
State lunacy commission was unex-
pected both by prosecution and de-
Tense. The former had hoped to have
them go on record as believing Ishida
never was insane. The defense had
intended to put TO them Hypothetical
question:, which would draw forth
the answer that, although they found
him sane several weeks after the
crime, he might have been insane at
the time Of the homicide. Although
they were summoned by the pFoseeD .
tion, the advantage Of their action
seems to 20 TO the defense, who now
are in possession Of the only alienist
who examined him Immediately fol-
lowing the crime.
A stubborn WTangle ensued between
DR.. Henry ]. BeFkley, of the commits
sion. and Attorney G. Gus GFason for
the defense, who sought to have the
court compel the doctor to answer his
iuteFFogatioRS. -..
BerISley was peppery and obviously
pFejudiced. 1t vas apparent he did
not at all relish the spectacle OF a not
ed alienisti even q japanese alienist,
under suspicion Of insanity. He took
every opportunity to declare that the
letters and postcards written by Ishida
TO friends in japan prior to the muir
der were 'feigned" and persisted in
this reply regardless Of what
the question was, and although the
court had asked him, for the purpose
Of inquiry, to assume that these post
cards were sincere.
Although his associates on the COM
mission found IL necessary to make a
visit before they could deter
mine whether Ishida was sane or not.
BerkIey declared that he had made
up his mind to that effect on the very
first visit.
Il expected to find an insane man,
Dr. Berkley declared. ''and found a
sane one"
OpinIOn Unchanged.
He declared nothing had been

that opinion. Mr.. Grason Indignantly
