James Craft in the dingy cellar under the Empire dive in West Twenty-ninth street. The prosecution had rested and Abra- ham Levy began the hardest effort of his life for the defense. Levy had Dr. gon and Dr. Williams, noted in- nity experts, in the room, to observe the actions of Tobin, He saya that they cannot but decide that Tobin is Insane, The first witness for the defense was William Hansbury, deputy warden of the Tombs. He had been a Warden of the Kings County Penitentiary from 1886 to 1890 while Tobin was serving a seven-year sentence for highway robbery, He sur- prised Mr. Levy by saying that thon Tobin was perfectly rational, But he added that since he has been In the Tombs he has tried to talk with ‘Tobin And that invarlably ‘Tobin would reply: “What a Hart I have loat 400 pounds Already and will be King Nero."* Patrick Ryan, deputy warden In the Tombs, was the next witness, He teati- fled that while incarcerated In the city prison “Tobin certainly did act the part of a madman to perfection.” “When 1 would go near his cell he would tell me a lot of stuff about his airship and then break out in the worst cussing I ever heard, and we get all the new and original cussing over in at place." Drs. Dana, McDonald and Packer, in- sanity experts, have been observing To- bin several days, and they will be called in rebuttal of the testimony to prove that ‘Tobin is insane: In court, while the doctors were watch- ing him, Tobin sat doubled up in his ehair, nervously running his bony. fin: gers ‘through his thin hair and looking at the Jury with glowering eyes, take in add—use. After Keeper Ryan had testified that Tobin had misbehaved tn the Tombs by swearing and spitting at the other pris- oners, Tobin's counsel asked that court adjourn to give his two experts, Drs, 1. 8, Manson and BE. H. Wiliams an opportunity to examine the prisoner. It was agreed that this should de done, the State's experts, Drs, McDonald, Packer and Dana being present at the same time taken.
