forever" A torn letter found in
Mrs. Haines' trunk after she was
slain in Cassville was produced at
DR.. Bryson's trial for life here his
afternoon in rebuttal of test!m ny
that Dr. Bryson was insane and con-
sequently careless of dress and per-
sonal appearance.
DIR. John Ladd, Washington alien
list. took the stand In surrebuttal
and called attention to the gran
diose attitude indicated by the let
ter. 1t is one of the symptoms of
the disease which alienists have
testified has attacked DR.. Bryson's
brain.
