DI. r. G. Swint. who late Sat

who testified that Fox killed Co

ditory hallucination, was to take
the stand for cross-exam'nation by
State attorneys. He said the STAY
er committed the crime because
he imagined God was constantly
telling him to kill Coburn.
Furthermore, DR. Swint testified
that Fox could commit a homicide
with a motive and yet be irrespon-
sible for his action. He said the
defendant has paranoia-the most
dangerous types OF all insanity.
ms came as telling blow to
state attorneys who so far have
based their hopes on securing con
