BOY SLAYER INSANE
DECLARES DR.. WHITE

That Edgar Randolph Perrygo,
lS years old, alleged murderer of
Mrs. Mary Emily Faithful. is "suf-
fering from a marked mental d.
feet was the uneqivocal opinion
expressed by DR.. William a. White,
superintendent OF st. Elizabeth's
Insane Asylum, yesterday, when he
took the stand in Criminal Division
l, District Supreme Court. where the
youth is on trial for his life.
After Attorney James A. O'Shea,
Perrygo's counsel, had read the
alienist hypothetical question con-
cerning the defendants mentality,
the physician, despite the fact that
it took nearly an hour to put the
question, unhesitatingly answered
"uRsound"
There are certain outstanding
facts in connection with the crime.
he explained, which make it quite
evident that the boy Is suffering
from a marked mental defect. The
very act itself and the way in which
it was committed shows that the
youth was lacking in intelligent
control and judgment. He failed to
take the simplest sort of precau-
tions to protect himself.
The assault took place" DR..
White continued, when the boy
knew that there We're other persons
in the house. knowing that il would
be impossible to. prove an alibi, for
he had been seen, the fact that
these was no effort whatever to con-
ceal the crime is evidence of a dis
ordered mind"

sician from the hospital, was tes-
tifying when court was adjourned
