ALIENISTS TO REPORT
 ON CRENSHAW CASE

Whether Ed Crenshaw, accused slayer of Mrs. Rebecca Weston, for mer sweetheart, and her husband, Harry Weston, at their Ensley home several months ago, will be compelled to face jury for his life or be sent to the insane asylum as mentally ir- responsible will probably bs deter mined In criminal court next Satur- day.
 At that time, it Is stated, Dr. B. [. Wyman, insanity expert. and other alienists who have had Crenshaw un- der observation for several months for the purpose of determining hls mental condition following his en- trance of plea of insanity when ar raigned and subsequent throwing of fit in the court room at pre- /vious hearing, will probably be ready to report on the result of their find ings.
 If the physicians report that he Is sane 1t is probable that his case will be set for trial In criminal court at the next capital week, which begins February 20. If he is reported as be- ing mentally unsound he will be con- fined In the insane asylum at Tusca- loosa until such time as he recovers his sanity, if ever.
