Brown would be able Co deliver his charge to the jury some time this afternoon.
 All three defendants to the charge of murdering Patrolman Forbes A. Mcleod during q holdur nt the Needham Trust company last February have pleaded not guilty because of insanity.
 Scharton, who began his argu. ment late in the afternoon, at. tackcd the testimony of state psy. chiatrists that Faber was legally sane, that Is. knew the difference between right and wrong, and pointed to the precisely opposite testimony of defense exports. He added that 1t was significant that the presumably impartial experts, called by the state under the Briggs law, had qualified their statements that F'aber was sane with the admission that they would have preferred to examine him at greater length and that, if they had known he was q victim Of softening Of tho brain, they would have concluded he was insane.
