 Drt Dolloff. who also examined Irving at Dedhom jail, said he wns a youth of low intelligence, with a psychopa thic personality. Irving he testified, was "a borderline type of case, in the so-called twilight zone."
 He said Irylng's volitional will power was decidedly weak. In hts opinion, Irving had "inflantile emo. tionalism" and was suffering fronl a mental defect and certain amount of mental disease" He was subject to suggestions coming tc . him by domination of a superior intellect, and hence hiS reSpOnsl' bility as very limited, the doctor said.
 Under cross- examination it was brought out that Irving's intelli' gence quotient was 80 per cent against normal 100.
 Dr Dolloff said Irving was moi suffering from complete psycho' sis.
 By that do you mean that Irv' ing Millen is not suffering from any insanity?" asked the prose. cutor.
 Not in psychiatric sense"
