The jury of educators tried him
and charged him with murder in the
first degree. To their verdict they
added the trust that no expense
should be spared in sending the man
to the gallows

tal disorder resulting in the crime
was the result of epilepic fits.
"An epileptic loses all intellectual
insight," said Dr. Hickson. "Murder
becomes a thing as natural as pass
