ment Of an Insanity
Board.
Judge Englert Holds That
Evidence Does Not War
rant 1t.

Judge NJ. ]. Englert this morning
denied the motion of Attorney Fl. G.
Owen for a commission to examine

was committed by someone other than
the defendant.
When court convened his morning.
Mrs. Louis Wentz. mother Of the de-
PENDANT. was placed on the stand.
The only part of her testimony that
got into the record was that pertain
ing to the fact that her husband was
committed to the insane asylum at
jamestown a little over a year ago.
ination was a record Of questions n
objections. practically all of which
were sustained by the court. The oh
.iections to questions pertaining to in
sanity in the Wentz family were based
on. the ground that no foundation in
TACT n6U UScH ld4U anu lllcy "cIC SuS
tanned.
Judge L. K Hassell was called by
the defense to testify regarding the
examination and commitment to the
jamestown asylum of Louis Wentz,
the defendants father. Records in
the case before Judge Hassell were Of
fered in evidence. but on objection of
States Attorney T. B. Elton they were
not admitted. Only the order for
commitment to the asylum, which
had been conceded by the state. was
admitted.
Mrs. Clifford Wentz. wife of the de-
PENDANT. was called to the stand to
testify for her husband. On direct
examination. she spoke Of the defend
ants habit of driving around nights.
of his aversion to Ford cars. which he
seemed to crash into with his car at
various times. and OF an attack he
made upon her one night at their
home.
On cross-examination. when States
