There is a surprise in store for the defenso 1n the Fox murder trial which is now being heard before Judge Davis, Itisin the na ture of evidence, and when it goes before the jury it will have a tendency to convince the twelvo men that medical exports may bo mis- taken when it comes to pronouncing vpon man’s sanity or insanity. For mouths Nicholas Fox has been hold- 1ng out to the world that he was a maniac. A witness 18 now in the eity who will go upor. the stand to throw some light upon this matter, although be is aot a medical ex pert ; Wednesday one of Sheriff Bennett's dep uties suddealy left the citv.

In other words, he was allowed to saunter about the cells and wait upon prisoners who wero locked in the cages. In o doing he formed the acquaintance of Nicholas Fox and frequently hela convel jons with him.

Attornoy Mahoney digested the question and aliowed the doctor to an- swerit in parts. This threw a different light upon the whole matter, and the doctor's auswors did pot indicate that to thought Fox very insane. Dr. Akin answered tho same question and his answer was satisfactory to the state, Dr. Constant, & voung mun who had at- tended two cases of insanity, furnished the startling information that any person whose wind‘was in the least impaired by the use of tobaceo or intoxicants was_absolutely irre- sponsible for any act committed.
