The tension which attended ses-

the jury might make any one OF these
findings, plus possible verdict OF
not guilty by reason of insanity.
A separate verdict for each OF the
defendants was ordered.
Relating to the defense contention
Massie's mind went blank when he
confronted the native with pistol
and heard him confess, Judge Davis
instructed that If plea of insanity
had been introduced the burden Of
proof was on the prosecution to show
the naval officer sane.
Judge Davis said if the jury decided

defendants could be convicted unless
the prosecution had proved con-
