What if the higher courts grant new
trial, and in that trial Warren is found by
jury to be insane, to have been insane
all through the time he killed Deskin,
through the time of his trial and during
his marriage? Will the wedding be an
nulled on the ground that an insane man
could not marry?
In Warren's trial his own attorneys and
alienists cited these facts to prove his in
sanity:
One side of his head is longer than the
other.
One ear is longer than the other.
His "anthropoid" finger is longer than
it should be.
He dresses with strange fastidious-
ness for one of his age.
He is effemnate, boastful and unrea-
sonable.
He wears spats in Summer and Winter.
He suffers "grandoise paranoia," be-
lief that he is a superior being.
He buys new suits, a half dozen at a
time, when he cannot afford them.
He suffers decisions about others OPP
posing him unfairly in business.
And all through his trial Warren inter-
rupted lawyers, witnesses and the court to
shout to the jury that he is as sane as
anyone.
"My own lawyers never have given me
a five-minute consultation" he yelled to
the jury in the midst of his attornes'
final pleas.
Then is he insane?
The nineteen-year-old bride bases her
argument that he is not on the following:
He is an unusually handsome man, es-
pecially so for his years.
