prospect of the case going to the jury
at time when the spirit OF Christ
mas would be mos: prevalent They
also were worried, they said as 10
what effect the anticipated appeal of
Attorney R. E. Smith, for Mrs. Swee-

tinue his efforts to show that his
sanity plea is not being made by
Nights attorney. but he is attempt
ing to show Hight's mental condition
In mitigation Of punishment the Jury
might be disposed to inffict IL the
