MRS. POSSER TO
PLEAD INSANITY
Experts Aro Placed on Stand Ami
Testify That Woman Was Insauo
When She Shot Her Husband
State to Attack Testimony
LIBBY, Mont., Aug. 18. -Vera
Pressor's attorneys will rely solely
and absolutely on insanity as her de
fense. All day yesterday this wns
nmdu evident and upon court re-op
ening today Stnto Senator Long, her
chief counsel, continued his csiun
iimtion on these lines.
Tho defense placed insanity ex
perts on tho stand yesterday, both
of them from Seattle. Tho first Dr.
J. A. limit, said, in nnswer to a
ipicstion by Attorney Leng: "I would
say that she was undoubtedly and
uiKinostionnbly insane at the time of
the shooting. It was absolutely im
possible for her to resist tho irres
istiblo impulso to kill."
Dr. W. A. Sillmun, the second ox-
pen, siiui in answer to mo sumo
questien: "She was suffering from
impulse. Her mind wns not in u con
dition that would make it possible
for her to form a criminal intent."
The state is expected to center its
otack ngainst tho insanity plea, at
tempting to show that tho exports
put on the stand by the dofense are
not expertn in reality, and that Mrs.
Pressor was no more suffering from
imnnity than any of the thousands
of slayers since the beginning of
time, who hnvo killed in a blind rage
against the victim.
