information the man threatened
Sconce, whom he held partly respon-
sible for his discharge from the.
service of the company.
Sconce, who remained in a coma
tose condition for two days after the
robbery, due to a severe beating
about the head, has been unable 20
furnish detectives with details of the
robbery and attack. Sconce says he
remembers nothing.
An inspection of the room after
the robbery gave police the impress
sion SconCe was slugged when he
looked out the window in answer to
a call. This was substantiated by
the discovery of two pools of blood
on the sloping roof under the win
dow. It is thought after Sconce
was attacked he was put on the roof,
but crawled back into the room,
where he was found by a fellow
employe.

disease, Grove said.
Il contend that this is now an

He argued that the fainting spells
were due to normal and natural
causes.
Grove took the Hubert Bowman

by DR.. Harold S. Hubert and Dr.
Carl Bowman of Boston, defense
alienist and showed what he consid-

The States attorney argued the

the defense alienists' testimony was
embellished to suit the plans Of the

Grove pointed to a passage In the

had day dreams. Defense testimony
indicated he was a habitual day

Another passage said Loeb read
good literature, including Dickens
