AI') A complete tern of California's new laws KovernlitK Insanity as a de fense in criminal cases apparently is planned in the trials of Will iam Kdwnrd Hickman on two mur der indictments. The lfl-year-old youth a few dayH hko pleaded not guilty by reason of Insanity to charges of kidnaping and slaying tittle Marian . 1'arker. Yesterday with a few hours of his Indictment together with his con fessed accomplice, Wei by Hunt, for the murder of C. Ivy Thorns, lu a drugstore holdup, he entered the alternative plea of the new and lit tle tested California law nut guilty and nut guilty by reason of Insan ity. Not the Same l'loa Ho little used has been tho new law Hickman's being the first case In Los Angeles county that court attendants were confused on tho plea' made and It was reported that it was the same as that entered to the Marian I'arkor murder charge. The confusion was. Increased hy the fact that oh his arraignment jHtate Ills plea. hen the deronu lenal phraseoloio'. his attorney stepped forward, and asked the court td permit him to plead, for his client. The difficulty was straightened out whon Itlchard Cautlllon, Jliek- man's Los Angeles attorney, re- mlttocl the facts In the indictment and therefore his trial set for Jun. 25, will be a sanity trial only.
