A declaration that G. Spen- !cer, who is on trial tofl:mte, chfil— ed with the murder of Miss Martha | Blackstone, was insane at the time | the young schoolteacher was shot and killed, was made late Tuesday by Dr. | Edward B. Lane of Jamaica Plain, an | alienist in the employ of the detense. Dr. Lane testified that he examined Spencer on September 5, 1910, and on October 14, 1611. Taking into con- sideration “the testimony as to the condition of the defendant’s family, the defendant’s education, his violent out- breaks and delinquencies, and subse- quent confessions,” Dr, Lane was ask- ed his opinion of the mental condi- tion of Spencer at the time of the shooting. He.replied that in his opin- ion the defendant was insane and that by reason of insanity, he was unable to refrain from committing murder. He] said Spencer lacked sufficient con- trol Dr. Lane was under cross examina- tion when the court adjourned. Rev. Eugene B. Smith of Lebanon. Conn., pastor of the church attended by the Spencer family, took the stand for the defense Tuesday. His testi- mony had to do with visits he paid to Spencer while confined at the state insane asylum at Bridgewater. He said that during one of these visits he had a conversation with Alfred | Elliott, medical director of the asy- {lum, and that he considered at that time that Spencer had a form of par- anoia. Mr. Smith testified: *I re- { marked that I supposed this was in- curable and Dr, Elliott replied ‘Ab- i soluteiy.’” The witness said Dr. Elllott declared | he would regret very much to have to i send Spencer back to Springfield for trial. On the witness stand Tuesday, Dr. Elliott had no recollection of such a conversation with the Lebanon clergy- man. Dr. Elliott, who is a witness for the government, testified in reply |to a question from the defendant’s counsel that he did not consider Spen- legally insane. He believed that | Spencer knew right from wrong and | knew that there was a penalty for wrongdoing but that he had faulty rea- | soning powers. B During the examination of Dr. EIli- | ott, the prisoner gave way to his emo- | tions and fairly screamed at the wit- i ne from the cage, calling his tésti- |mony a lie. Court officers had diffi- { culty in overpowering Spencer, but he | was' finally removed from the court- room while a recess gvas taken. In the ente-room Spencer ®ontintied his rav i and an hour passed before he w. During the remainder of the appeared, nevertheless, crying softly and muttering to him- Iself. He paid no attention, appar- | ent to the witnesses, Suspended Session 50 Minutes. Denouncine Dr. Alfred Elliott, med- ical director of the Bridgewater state | hospital for the criminal insane, Spen- cer made a scene in the courtroom which probably has had no duplicate ew England criminal history, and | perhaps in the country. So violent were his words and so excited did he |appear that it took three deputy sher- iffs to control the murderer, and Judge | John C. Crosby was forced to suspend the sittin= 50 minutes before Snancer recovered enough self-control to re- turn to the courtroom and oceupy his seat in the cage. Dr. Elliott was the first witness cail- ed by Attorney Richard J. Stapleton in the morning, and when he took the stand a marked change in the attitude of the prisoner was noticed by those rear him. He glared steadily at Dr. Elliott, and@ as the physician testified regarding where Spencer had been con- fined and why he had been placed in certain wards, the prisoner glared and muttered under his breath. His cer | v7ife, who sat bDeside the cage, kept nxious eyes on Spencer, who held his in his hands and watched the witness with a steadfast gaze. It was when Dr. Elliott was testifving that ——————————————— DON’T WAIT SO LONG One of the most surprising things in the world to druggists is that so many people endure unnecessary suf- fering and trouble. Every day they hear people say, “I have been feeling so weak and miser- able for the last few months that I finally decided to come and ask you what to do for it.” For instance, Miss Zulah Teagar- den, of Connellsville, Pa., says in a letter: “For years I had been in bad health owing to run-down system and general weakness. I had no appetite, was tired out, and had no strength. “Hearing so much about Vinol I de- cided to try it, and I find it the great- est of all remedles. It has built up my strensth. restored my appetite, and made me as well 2s ever. I might just as well have had this benefit Vears ago if I had taken Vinol then.” Now if you are weak and in poor health, don’t wait another day, but let Vinol, our deliclous cod liver and The DimeSavings Bank | OF NORWICH. { DIVIDEND The regular Semi-afnual Dividend has been declared from the net earn- ings of the past six months at the rate of Four per cent. a year, and will be payable on and after November 15, FRANK L.

Testimony of Dr. Alfred Elliott in Murder Trial—Ac- cused Made Scene Which Held Up Court For Fifty Spencer had been moved from one ard to another that the prisoner made is violent outburst. Only the news- papermen and those sitting in front of the prisoner’s cage had been expecting any demonstration, and the sudden skout of the prisoner, “You lie! You're a liar!” brought the spectators to their feet. Then, as Spencer continued with the tirade, he leaped to his feet as though he would jump over the low grating in front of him and hurl him- self upon the witness. Strugg! Violently. . Turnkey Nathaniel P. Wade, who sits with the prisoner, grabbed him ard. tried to force him gently back to his seat, but the prisoner was too violent for easy control, and as he struggled flercely to escape from the turnkey’'s grip Deputy Sheriffs Tim- othy H. Malone and Edward J. Ley- cGen leaped over the front grating of the cage and helped Wade to control him. Wade got the prisoner's head in chancery and had a choking arm grip around his neck, and with his bedy forced the murderer to a pros- trate position on the bench in the deck, while ILeyden ani Malone sej cured his legs. He was_still mutter- 2 and panting when Judge Crosby announced there would be a recess. In the meantime Sheriff Clark had rapped. sharply for order, and while the struggle was going om the pris- orer's wife was pleading with the puties to be allowed to enter the sage and help subdue her husband. ‘Oh, please let me go to him,” she said. “Please let me go to him. I | can calm him.” But Deputy Malone gently held out hand, and Mrs. Spencer left the room, following the prisoner’s mother and sister, who had left when he began his outburst. He was taken into one of the consultation rooms, where he velled and shouted vituperatively for nearly 50 minutes before he was calm- ed sufficiently to allow of his return to the courtroom. Glares at Elliott, Those who observed Spencer were of the opipion that the prisoner was get- ting ready for a demonstration, for the calling of Dr. Elliott's name made a tig ange in the man. Heretofore when witnesses have been testifying he has hung his head and looked at the floor, or has sobbed more or less, but when the doctor was called Tuesday morning the prisoner glared at him v.ith steadfast gaze. Not only did hate em to be concentratéd in that gaze, t the whole expression of the man's face was of malignity. When the doc- tor said he had been moved from one wiard to another so that he might have different care and attention, Spencer muttered sarcastically “Care and at- tention, care and attention! At other intervals during the beginning of the doctor’s testimony he muttered to Turnkey Wade and to his wife. ‘When he was brought, back to the courtroom after the recess he trem- bled violently, his whole frame shak- ing, and beads of sweat standing on nis forehead. His animosity toward the witness had not subsided to the slightest degree, and he continued to mutter incoherencies under his Lreath. Aside from the demonstration that Spencer gave, the testimony of Dr. Elliott was important for the reason that the doctor said in his belief Spencer was legally sane, although the court held that the answer should be stricken from the records “After observation of this patient at Bridgewater, what was jour opinion of his mental condition?” Mr. Staple- ton inquired. “After ten months' observation it was my opinlon that he was not legally insane.” Knew Right from Wrong. . Asked as to_the mental condition of the man, the doctor said: “My opinion was that he knew right from wrong. He knew his act was wrong- He knew there was a penalty. He knew what the penalty was, and he was not gov- erned by an irresistible impulse.” “Wh: act do vou refer to, doctor?” asked Mr. Stapleton. “The act for which he was indicted, the murder of Miss Blackstone.” Then Mr. Stapleton asked this ques- tion, the answer to which the court ordered stricken out, on the eround that the witness had not qualified as an expert on the legal phase of in- sanity, which was the same reason for the striking out of the record of the answer previously referred to: _“What was your opinion, doctor, of his mental condition as to his sanity or insanity?” “That he was not legally insane,” replied the witness. Mr. Stapleton then asked the wit- ness questions reearding statements he had made to Chief Justice Aiken in his reports of the man’s condition, and he certified to the correctness and truthfulness of them. The ouestions and answers serv. to show that the doctor believed at Spencer showed symptoms of unsound mind when he was first under observa- tion, but that as the observation con- tinued the physician came to the belief that his actions indicated faulty rea- sening and mental than Insanfity. deficlency rather FELL IN CELLAR AND BEROKE HER NOSE.
