puted previous testimony that

DR.. Morris Platkin, the first
of several rebuttal witnesses
who are scheduled to testify
as to Jarmans' sanity, said II
was his opinion that Jarmans
was without mental disorder"
The jury will have to reach
its own conclusions after
weighing all the expert testi-
mony offered BY both the de-
tense, which Is trying to show
that Jarmans was insane, and
the prosecution, which must
prove him sane.
Jarmans is accused Of stab
bling Mrs. Minard to death as
she walked home on the even
ing Of April l6. His attorneys
are basing the defense solely
on o plea Of insanity.
The jury has heard more
than q week of testimony from
expert and lay witnesses who
concluded that Jarmans was
sick mentally and at times
psychotic.
DR.. Platkin said that after
studying Jarmans' records he
found some abnormal symp-
toms but nothing that would
indicate to me that there was
mental disorder"
Jarmans spent 30 days at

which he was judged compe-
tent to stand trial.
