JOHN B HALL Member of firm of Hull. Son. &' Falk, real estate business. Decatar, knows Osborn.', sold farm to him und Busenftark. T ! ;»‘ latter did all the talking vrhcn deal wa« made. Dr. S. D Beavt r.-. pi sieian and surgeon. graduate, took the witness stand and in order to save time I)r. W. W. P. McMilltn and Dr. .1. M. Miller were allowed to take seats next to witness stand, and all three were asked the long hypothetical question at one time. The records were made to show each examination seperately and each witness was cross examined seperately. Dr. Haavers answered'‘unsound mind.” Dr. Beavers was then asked: “If person was struck by naked fist, i that immediately afterward it is' iound that right molar bone is brok > n, oonenssions on forehead, skin froken,patient is removed to bouse 120 feet away and on way had hetn- ■ rrhage, remaining unconscious 24 hours when he died, that upper jaw bone is broken, that after death < yes were blood shot, that a post mortem was held in which no examination was made of vital organs do you think that examination was sufficient to ascertain oaato of death.” He answered, . “If ex amined daring life it would, if after death.it would not.” Also stated that it would not be possible to tell cause of death at post mortem antler conditions as previously stated without ex imining other vital parts of the hody, eyes are bloodshot when death results from apoplexy. The court room was well filled Tuesday afternoon when court re-convened. Dr. Beavers assumed his place on the witness stand and was re-examined by attorney Lutz, who restated the case and asked if the physician who attended wounded man could tell the'eause of death without post mortem examination to which Dr. Beavers answered ” No,” he could presume but could not tell accurately, would be great shock in injury described and to a man 68 years old. Did not take into coonsideration all things included in question to make up his mind but all things collectively, a number of the incidents mentoined are instead of evidence of insanity, evidence alone, of sound mind, facts tliat defendant quarreled over land und farming are not evidence of insanity. Re-examined, said party who had severe hemorrhage of arteries of face might livel 21 hours. DK. J. M. MILLER. Physician in D icat-ur, heard questim read in morning, believes person under conditions given would be of unsound mind. < tross examined, all children under five years old who cannot talk plain are of unsound mind. Person who could master arithmetic to square root would he a fair scholar, fact that inun would argue and quarrel over division of land and of farmings shows man to have will power and not to lie insane. Some things in the question would indicate sound mind, fact that Osborne said after ommittirg the act, “that’s what comes of having a bad temper” shows remorse not insanity, fact that Osborne threatened that if Bus enbark goes back on me he will never go back on another man” is evidence of unsound mind, believes every man who makes a threat or commits an unlawful act is insane on that point, shows a weakness.

DR. II F COSTELLO. Physician in Decatur has had experience in nervous trouble, answered to hypothetical quostion thHt he believed defendant is of unsouud tuind. Cross examined by Attorney Moran.

DK. W. W. P. McMILLEN. Physician in Decatur, heard question read in morning, remembers same, is graduate, has had some experience, belie red person asked in question would lx: of unsonnd mind. Cross examined. Many acts mentioned in hypothetical question show evidence of soundness of mind, instead of unsoundness. After a ten minutes intermission at 3 :30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon Dr, MoMiUen again went on the witness stand and stated that the will power is one of the elements of the mind. The question was then asked him ‘ was the defendant in this case at the time he struck the blow referred to in hypothetical question, a person able to control bis will power ?” Objected to by attorneys for State and sustained. Said defenant's will j>ower was unsound. Don’t believe the cause of death of Busenbark could be ascertained without holding a postmortem examination of body and examining all vita! purts. Cross examined by Mr. Lutz and insisted that postmorten was necessary to show cause of death. Shock or hemorrhage might have caused death, material results. If attending physician knew of the hemorrhages he should be able to tell cause of death. I)R IJ.1 J . B. THOMAS.

Physician and surgeon, Decatur, graduate, had experience in mental and nervous diseases, believes at time of assault on John Busenbark, defendant was of unsound mind. At five o’clock the jury were sent to their room and attorney Lutz presented a motion to strike out the evidence of u number of witnesses in which they testified us regards reputation of John Busenbark, because deceased was not aggressor in the assault and at the time made no demonstration and that Osborne struck first blow. The motion asked the evidence before presented be withdrawn from the jury. To this motion Judge Heller objected for reason that this evidence tends to supi>ort defendants plea and that it would be unjust to strike out any of the evidence of defense and selfdefense of the defendant under his general plea of not guilty. Judge Erwin overruled the objecton sustained the motion an cited late cases from the Indiana reports. The motion includes part of the evidence of sixteen of the witnesses. Afterwatds Judge Heller submitted another objection to tbo motion because the striking out of the evidence will tend to disprove the plea of insanity as filed by the defendant. On this question Judge Heller plead eloquently for defendant for admission of this evidence, saying that it could not harm the State and the defendant is entitled to all the evidence he can secure. Judge Erwin stated that he believed his duty fit pass on the question of what evidence should be permitted and after looking up all authoritieshe can find out, and the second motion was therefore overruled. The evidence stricken out was that of Charles L-hr, John Pinperman, William Wright, William Riabald, A. Phillips, J. T. Williams, T. J. Killgore. J. H. Cone, James Lehr, Albert Hinton, £. Killgore, W. Flinger, J. O. Hines, Lee Hines, Joseph Hannan and J. P. Long, on the questions and answers regarding reputation of Busenbark. At six o'clock the jury were recalled and Judge Erwin instructed them thu. their, evidence is withdrawn from them and that they are not to consider said evidence. The attorneys for the defense announced at the opening of court at 9 o’clock Wednesday morning that they rested their case. The announcement came as rather a sur jirise as the defense had expected

: to use several witnesses this mnrn- ' ing. The Stab' attorneys imme- ; (Mutely began their rebuttal to the | defendants insanity showing by | calling their first witness. The | court room was well tilled all day ■ with spectators. REBUTTAL BY STATE. James Crozier, lived in Union | township 55 years, knows Osborne, has met him several tines, talked j to him.
