LAWYER WILL
TRY TO PROVE
JACKSON MAD

PictuFing James Henry Jackson,
commonly styled the ''madman Of the
Northwest" as an irresponsible VIC
tim OF insanity when he made his
early morning rampage through the
northwest, attacking and shooting
women. Attorney Royal A. Hughes
outlined the defense to be made for
the negro before the jury in Justice
Siddons' court this morning.
Attorney Hughes asked the jury to
believe that no man, white or colored,
in his sane mind, would Attempt any
such wholesale marauding. He point
cd out that In his opinion every phase
Of JaeksOn's early morning raids on
the peaceful homes In the northwest
section was obviously Irrational
He declared that Jackson's record
at Leavenworth penitehtiary indicated
an unbalanced mind. He intends, he
told the jury, to place upon the stand
physicians from the prison to show
Jackson's abnormal condition while
confined there. He will also offer a
letter, written by Jackson while a
prisoner which will illustrate the
kind Of a man he is and the unnatural
manner in which his mind works.
The reading OF his confession" Of
having shot Miss Lillian Hood, the
young war worker. on the morning of
January "a, last. in her room at 1887
l. street northwest, left James Henry
l. street northwest, left Jackson un-
moved and upconcerned today.
District Attorney John E. Laskey
read to the jury the questions and an
swers put to and given by Jackson
at Police Headquarters, in which he
admitted having fired three shots at
Miss Hood. The stenographic notes
constituting the confession" were
taken down by John T. Laws, official
stenographer at Police Headquarters
who identified them on the stand.
In the confession" Jackson admit
ted having shot directly at Miss
Hood, while she was lying on the
grouhd in the yard OF the house 1887
L street" He also states that he hit
ler with the but of the gun on the
head.
He wore a dark blue hat, given him
at the penitentiary, Jackson is al
eyed to have confessed, and that he
lost this hat in the yard
1t IS expected that the dying state
nent OF Miss Hood will also be read
o the jury today and offered in evi-
ience.
