impossible to connect him with the
crime. after he confessed" he added,
II had to believe against my will that
he had committed It, 1 want this jury
TO know it's full responsibilities and to
act accordingly" Mr.. Harris then
asked the jury to recommend the de-
PENDANT to the mercy of the court.
James's plea of faint Of insanity
in the blood" offered by his counsel was
refused by Justice Katxenbach. He
ruled that unless the defence submitted
evidence 10 prove that James was In
sane at the time of the killing Of Paul
no testimony could be entertained to
snow that the, prisoner Il'iic HHsh'

crime ever committed in New Jersey,
