Members OF the Chenoweth and
Sydnam families were not allowed in
the court room when evidence was be-
ing taken.
Five Portland physicians called by
the defense testified that they believ-
ed Chenoweth was insane and did moi
know the difference between right and
wrong when he shot Sydnam.
DR.. Phil j. Keizer of North Bend
and DR. House OF Portland were on
the stand for the prosecution. They
testified that technically Chenoweth
was insane and had all his life been
unbalanced somewhat mentally, but
that he did know right from wrong
when he shot Eydnam.
Chenoweth told of young girl
getting into trobule similar to that of
his daughter and committing suicide
when Chenoweth was a young man.
The doctors said this made Cheno-
weth particularly emotional on such /
