 psychOpathic Case, Judging From
 Actions and Story of Murder.
 White Plains, N. Y., Sept. 26 (P)- One doctor referred today to Earl PeacoN, charged with the murder of his wife, as "an average young man. and another said a spanking would have done him good.
 The doctors were alienists called by the state to counter-act defense expert testimony that the defendant had a psychopathic personality and had killed his wife during an emo- tional storm.
 Both said PeacoX was not a fNS u iOItilitlNH i'l' -'ltlltlo VI 'S OI , said that he had observed him in court and listened to him testify.

 'He has acted" he said. Just like an average young man fighting for his life"
 The other doctor was Dr. Frank Robertson and in an effort to ob- tain testimony from him that Pea COX was emotionally unstable, de- fense counsel told him of an oc- casion on which the prisoner smashed radio set he was work ing on and wrecked the room.
 That wasn't emotional instabil- ity," he replied. That was anger curable by spanking"
 States Doctor TcstiGes
 Dr. Menas Gregory, Bellevue brain doctor, took the stand for the state today to give his opinion of the 'emotional storm that defense alienists testified blew away Pea coXs will power, so that he could n't help killing his wife.
 Those defense doctors said that PeacOX had "psychopathic per sonality' and when his wife slap ped him he became for the mo- ment legally insane" Ultable to tell right from wrong and helpless to stay his hands from choking out the life of the woman he said he loved at the moment he killed her, and even later when he burned her body.
 The defense rested yesterday and Dr. Gregory was called as a rcbut- tai witness by the state. After qual- flying as an expert, Dr. Gregory said he had heard the hOur-lOng hypothetical question read to tha defense alicnists yesterday On the basis of that, he said, he considc~- ed that peacoX was of sound mind when he killed his wife.

WORKING UPON ENFORCEMENT
 COM MISSION
Hoover Proceeding Slowly in Making Up Im-
 portant Agency

SHIN TON, March 19- President Hoover is moving with caution in the difficult task of picking those who will compose his Law Enforcement Commission and the best information available is that he has not definitely decided on a single member.
 Scores of names have been pre- sented for consideration but many have been eliminated for various reasons and he is described as lit erally securing the country in an effort to find suitable men who will be willing to undertake the gigantic task.
 The personnel of this commission will probably be more carefully scrutinized by the country of any named in many years. This is largely because of the investigation of Enforcement of Prohibition which will be included in the commits sion's work This phase of the in- quiry will probably be one to at tract the greatest public attention as it will require more exhaustive study than any other.
