WADE'S APPEAL RAPS
 AIENIsTS,; IS STAY

tContinued from Page OneO the mentality of Mrs. Ethel Mott and Edward Johnston.
 On the charge to the jury the de- fense requested specific, instruction on the following points and they were not given.
 l. That a finding of mot guilty would not free Wade, but would per init the state to take adequate means to confine him and prevent another crime.
 ?. That no motive or intent for the crime was shown except the encour- agement and prompting of Ethel Mott.
 3. That the atrocious and shocking details of the killing of Mott should be considered in connection with Wade's mental deficiency and that the jury should determine whether or not Wade had sufficient mind to un- derstand the nature and consequences of the act.
 4. That in considering the testi- mony of one witness, Rooney, the jury should give weight to his appearance and conduct on the witness stand and to the depraved mind revealed by his own testimony.
