NOTED ALIENIST TESTIFIES IN MURDER CASE (Continued from Page One) presence of evidence tending to his duty to hear evidence in mitiga“mitigate punishment.” Justice Caverly said that, he felt it

tion of punishment and in a few words summed up his stand, overruled the state's objections and ordered the defense to proceed. “After hearing arguments of the j State and the defense.” Judge Caver- ! Iv stated. “It is still the opinion of the court that it should hear evidence in mitigation as well as evidence in aggravation. "Therefore, the objection of the state's attorney to the testimony of the defense witness is over ruled.” ! Court’s decision ended after soni" ton court hours of bitter fighting be- | tween the state and defense on the adm'ssabilitv of medical evidence. While Justice Caverly did not so state in his final ruling, ho has stated at various times during the argn'monts that ho would not listen to 'testimony tending to show insanity, but would mere’y permit the introduction of testimony showing evif delve of mental disease, “in Mitigation of punishment.” I B-". '.Viliam A. White of Washington. a noted alienist connected with the United States Public Health Service and other public institutions, then, took the stand. ,t Crowe Scored a point when the t

court sustained his objection Io having the witness tell how h ■ arrives at tlte menial condition of u put lent The defense then asked the question in another form and again Crowe objected and was sustained. Again Crowe objected Io ti question along the same line and was sustained. A fourth objection I'V Crowe ws« rcrrulad. When the witness started to answer, Crowe objected ugain and said “the witness must confine himself to this case.” Crowe was sustained. | "What is the condition of those .boys’” the Judge cried. “If there is anything wrong with the boys, let us hear about it.” Fighting every step of the way. Crowe again objected to a hypothetical question, not dealing witli tire boys, but the court over ruled It. Asylum For Insane Criminal Court Room. Chicago,, Aug.

MUST CUTWEEDS ALONG ROADSIDE Are Menace To Traffic Anc Cause Os Many Serious Accidents ISUEST-'a Complaints are being registered by automobile owners in this section concerning the high weeds that have been allowed to become rank along the roadside and especially at road intersections. Oth r complaints i are received concerning heavy foT i iage at curves and road intersections anti it has been suggested that tin local road officials should get busy i immediately to relieve this: condition

in the interest of public safety, as the state low requires. I A bulletin on this subject Just is sued by tlie safety department of tlie I Hoosier State Auto Association, the [ state-wide organization of auto own .ers. points out that fatal cr near .fatal collisions are oc<#iring in many 1 places in Indiana, due to obstructed views at road intersections. ‘There is little doubt that the first cause of such accidents is too much speed, says the bulletin. “Commor gumption ought to lead a driver t< ! proceed cautiously when he < annot .sco ‘around a corner' at an intersec . tion, yet there are too many drivers i who dash through a blind inters ection with undiminished speed, trust ing to luck that there is no one ap proaching at right angles. Every once in a while there is a terrific smash and the coroner attends to the sub sequent details. Not until every driver realizes th' dasdly hazard ot such Houseless driv l ing will there be a real decrease In ■road corner crashes —and this goes for idind intersections in villages i towns and cities ot Indiana, as well I But, in the meantime, there is a duty to be performed by township and {county road in the matter of cutting weeds and trimming foli age according to law. The time for this work is right now. The state highway commission crews are al-

ready at work trimming weeds along ■ the state road right-of-ways and we urge that county and township offi I .dais loss no time in following suit.” The bulletin explains that the i Hoosier A. A is making a big effort this summer to got more automchllt owners interested in the work of the organization. “We are making steady ; gains,” tlm bulletin continues, “but there is a vast work to bo done that can only bo accomplished through or |ganizod effort. A wheat pool would not be of much effect if only 10 out |of eveiy thousand farmers entered into it. By the same token an organization of automobile owners should embrace a majority of such owners in Indiana if the greatest god for ail owners possible is to be accomplished. There are many matters of vital interest which are ex pected to come up for legislative nc tion next winter and we believe the owners should best pro tect themselves by assisting' th® state wide association which will expected to be their mouthpiece and ‘friend at court.’ This safety matter is a problem ?or us all to solve, and not just sit back and let George do it.”
