Mr.. koenig made the motion i'm

to epileptic fits. that a brother has
been in the psychopathic ward at
Bellevue and that other members of
his family have suffered from mental
arrangements"
He declared that most of Boldly g
trouble heretofore had been due to
thefts and that during his sentence for
one of them in penal institution he
had been struck over the head with a
shovel. After his release, the lawyer
continued, Boldly had been "hounded"
by the police and continually picked
up for questioning, beaten, kicked
and cuffed." He declared Boldly had

of one of the deceased"
