Walter Bachrach, defense lawyer,
started questioning him but was i'm.
mediately interrupted by Grove who
demanded the court either exclude
medical testimony or impanel a jury
to try the question OF insanity.
These boys, your honor, have
pleaded guilty" Grove shouted, land
any attempt of the defense to intro
duce the question of insanity should
be and must be stopped by this
court. Your honor has no authority
to decide whether these boys are
sane or insane. II this question is to
be honored. your honor must, under
the law. impanel jury"
Opposing attorneys argued back
and forth quoting from Supreme
Court rulings In support Of their ar
guments. Grove and his assistant,
Thomas Marshal. argued heatedly
while Darrow and his aides answered
with equal vigor.
Judge Caverly overruled Grove,
but the fiery States attorney contin-
ued vigorous argument against the
admissability OF alienists' testimony.
Will Demand Jury
Grove said that the defense could
not offer testimony showing insanity
after having pleaded guilty. II the
boys are insane. Grove said, he
would demand that the question of
sanity be brought before jury.
IF, your honor, at the conclusion
OF testimony. should sentence these
boys to hang, in our judgment, the
sentence would not be worth the pa
per 1t is written on" Grove stated.
1T the defense appealed to the
Supreme Court. the Supreme Court
would set your sentence aside. The
State would have no power of appeal
while the defense would have every
chance to appeal the sentence.
What is the defense in this case
trying to do?" Grove shouted. Are
they trying to enter pleas of guilty,
admitting that they murdered a
child, and then attempting to enter
a defense?"
Would your honor allow these
boys to plead guilty and then allow
their attorneys to try to prove that
they were in California when the
murder was committed.
Your honor, what is this coming
to? Shall these boys be allowed to
plead guilty just to allow them to
get out Of the jury trial? Shall they
be allowed to have their case tried
by one man whom they believe fav-
orable?
Nothing could be more direct nor
mandatory thar the language of the
law which l have read. The court
must impanel jury If the question
Of insanity Is brought up.
Insanity is a defense, just as an
alibi is a defense. and we contend
that since these boys pleaded guilty
their attorneys cannot introduce evil
dence to prove them insane
III the court permits the trial to
go on and permits the defense to
show insanity, then this becomes a
mock trial and the State would
have to confess error in the Supreme
Court -
