The witness said he considered
New was insane for an "appreci
able" length of time before he sho,
Miss Lesser and for an "appre-
ciab1e" period afterwards. But all
efforts by the district attorney to
obtain an estimate from him as to
what this "appreciable" period
amounted to in minutes or hours
were without result.
As to News general condition.
DR.. Moore said he thought the ac-

have a brain exceeding that OF the
average l2-year old child.
DR.. Moore said New ought to be
