The foundation tqr | the admission of the confession was laid by police officers. They all said that Grant had voluntarily stated his connection with the crime. Thomas F. Conlin, clerk of the district court, | who took the certification, said that | Grant was anxious to make the con- fession. The battle of the expcrts to deter- mine Grant's mental condition is about to begin. Lawyer Patrick J. Moore, in outlining the case for the defense, said that men and phy- sically Grant had an abnormal history. mother had a severe nervous ill- at the time of his birth; the son had a variety of serious illnesses; was once hit on the head in a baseball game, and the records would be ex- hibited to the judge. Once he hit his | father with a hammer; was found wandering on the main street of the city looking for a wife he thought he had; had fallen from a step-ladde a fit, and had a seizure im a hoat once. It would be proved, Mr. Moore said, that Grant had at least one epilept seizure when he was under observa- tion in Bridgewater.
