I hat he remembered nothing about seeing his rifle, with which the state alleges Goul was killed, from the Sunday evening he came down from Austin until shown the weapon in court, was the defendant's statement, he admitting that he put the gun down ouside the house when lie got home. The two principal witnesses to es tablish the defense's plea of instanity were Mrs. Macomb, wife of the de fendant, and her son, Frank Clement. Mrs. Macomb near the close of her cross examination created much in terest by stating as her firm belief that her husband was insane at the time lie killed Goul, but that he re covered his reason as the result of the prayers of herself and others.
