The defense offered In evidence a
communication from the chief alienist
of the public Insane hospital near
Aarhus, Denmark, which appears to be
a reply to an official letter of inquiry
from the ministry of foreign affairs
of Denmark. This communication
states that it is disclosed, from the
records of the asylums and from the
journals of the Hassing family, who
had been placed there, supplemented
with details from certain relatives of
the Hassings, that certain relatives of
defendant, both in the direct and col
lateral line, had been lnsano and con
fined In the asylum. The names and
family history of these persons, com
piled from the above sources, are
given in the communication. It has
indorsed upon it the words: "Legal

ily, ana partly from oral statements
of members of the family. It was
clearly inadmissible.
The Instructions requested were
properly refused. They present the
"Irresistible Impulse" doctrine at its
very worst, and entirely ignore the
difference between an impulse to kill,
arising from mental disease or from
"sudden and sufficient provocation,"
and one which springs from anger
or a wicked and furious desire for
revenge. Whatever may be the rule
in other jurisdictions, we are of the
opinion that the test of Insanity in
this jurisdiction Is the capacity to
distinguish bteween right and wrong
Sec. 2408 L. 0. L. Is as follows: "A
morbid propensity to commit prohib
ited acts, existing in the mind of a
person, who is not shown to have been
Incapable of knowing the wronfgul
ness of such acts, forms no defense to

of this statute is to establish a co'
r 4

j the Individual from understanding the
consequences or bis act, and the ex
istence of a delusion in regard to a
matter of fact which, if true, would
Justify his act"
, In People v. Holn, 62 Calif. 120, the
court, quoting from Baron Bramwell,
say: "'But If an influence be so dow-
lerful as to be Irresistible, so much
the more reason Is there why we
should not withdraw any of the safe
guards tending to counteract it There
I are three powerful restraints exist

the restraint of law. But if the ln
I fluence itself be held to be a legal
j excuse, rendering the crime dispun
ishable, you at once withdraw a most
powerful restraint that forbidding
and punishing Its perpetuation'. We
must, therefore, return to the simple
question you have to determine did
the prisoner know the nature of the
act he was doing; and did he know
he was doing "what was wrong." In
conclusion the court say: "Whatever
may be the abstract truth, the law
has never recognized an Impulse as
uncontrollable which yet leaves the
reasoning powers Including the ca
pacity to appreciate the nature and
quality of the particular act unaf
fected by mental disease. No dif
ferent rule has been adopted by Amer
ican courts."
The power to discriminate between
right and wrong, as a test of crim
inal responsibility, has been adopted
by a large majority of the courts of
the United States, including Oregon:
State v. Murray, 11 Or. 413; People
v. Hoin, supra; Mackin v. State, 59
X. J. L. 495; State v. Miller. Ill Mo.
542; Ford v. State. 73 Miss. 734; State
v. Mcintosh, 39 S. C. 97; Wilcox v.
State, 94 Tenn. 106; Flanagan v. Peo
ple, supra; State v. Mowry. 37 Kan.
369; State v. Knight, supra; Davis v.
State, 44 Fla. 32.
The foregoing list does not by any
means exhaust the authorities holding
to the theory that a knowledge of
right and wrong as to the particular
act charged Is the proper test of legal
responsibility. On the other hand a
few courts have admitted with some
reservation the theory that an uncon
trollable impulse, superinduced by
mental disease, even though accom
panied by capacity to distinguish be
tween right and wrong. Is a defense
to crime. Dr. Maudsley, an eloquent
champion of this theory, remarks:
"There is a destiny made for a man
by his ancestors and no one can elude,
were he able to attempt It, the tyranny
of his organization." It is submitted
that these writers and the Judges
who have adopted their opinions, have
dealt with man's moral responsibility
as between his. creator and himself,
rather than his legal responsibility
as a member of organized society. It
ought to be plain that If every case
tried should involve an investigation
of the defendant's ancestry and en
vironment with a view to determine
to what extent these Influenced the
free and untrammeled action of his
will, and how far. In view of these,
he was morally responsible for his
acts, the Investigation would be In
terminable. While one of the Inci
dental objects of the law is to reform
offenders, where they are reformable,
Its principal object Is to protect so
ciety and the only practicable- work
ing theory upon which It can proceed
Is to assume that every man who
knows right from wrong can observe
the right and avoid the wrong.
The last assignment to be consid
ered was the admission of the testi
mony of the witnesses Nicholson and
Tally, the first of whom had seen him
very frequently for a period of two
weeks before the crime and talked
with him on a great variety of sub
jects, and on two occasions, at his
request, had accompanied him to the
court house to listen to criminal tri
als, while the latter had been his
jailer for about four months. Subdi
vision 10 or Sec. 727 L. O. L. permits
an "Intimate acquaintance" to give his
opinion respecting the mental sanity
of a person, the reasons for such
opinion being given. As there are
degrees of Intimacy, the term Is some
what Indefinite, but it should cer
tainly extend far enough to enable the
witness to know something of the
habits, temperament and general men
tal characteristics of the party whose
sanity Is in question. Being an Indef
inite term, the admission of such tes
timony Is largely in the discretion of
the trial court, and we are of the
opinion that the testimony admitted
is within the rule announced in State
v. Murray, 11 Or. 413; and State v.
Hansen. 25 Or. 395.
In addition to this, defendant had
called a witness having less Intimate
acquaintance with him than either of
the witnesses called by the state, and
when his testimony was objected to,
the district attorney said: "I don't
think he has shown a sufficiently
Intimate acquaintance to permit him
to testify, but I have no objection if
the state can Introduce the same
character of evidence." The court
said: "Very well, then let It be ad
mitted." The district attorney re
marked: "If It Is understood that tes
timony on the same line may be of
fered by the state," to which counsel
for defendant answered: "Certainly,
we could not help it." This practi
cally amounted to a stipulation, that
testimony of the character then being
discussed could be admitted, and the
testimony of the two witnesses above
mentioned was of the same character,
their qualifications being as great or
greater. Counsel cannot Induce the
court to adopt an erroneous rule of
evidence when It operates in his favor
and be heard to object to the applica
tion of the same rule when it mili
tates against him. If he makes it the
law of the case, he must abide the
consequences: Trlckey v. Clark, 60
Or. 516.
Counsel for defendant has adverted
to the sad consequences and Injustice
of executing a man in defendant's
mental condition, but the jury has
found that he knew right from wrong,
and understood the nature and qual
ity of the act, and we must assume,
in the absence of error by the court,
that they found correctly. The duty
of condemning any human being to
suffer the extreme penalty of the law
Is one which every court approaches
with regret. But If the prayers of his
Innocent and helpless wife were not
sufficient to prevent the defendant
from sending a bullet through ber
brain, as she lay fallen and defense
less before him, no mere considera
tions of sympathy or pity ought to
induce the minister of Justice to bend
the law to spare blm.

DEBATING
TEAM LOSES
ZIMMERMAN
University of" Oregon, Eugene, Oct.
27 In debate circles at the univer
sity, great anxiety is felt over the
failure of Howard Zimmerman, a
former Salem boy, to turn out for
debate. Owing to his Y. M. C. A.
work and. bis Btudles, Zimmerman
has refused to participate this year.
Mr. Zimmerman last year was a
member of the debating team that
won the championship of the Pacific
Coast, defeating both Washington
and Stanford. Both of these colleges
are after Oregon's scalp strong this
season, and the Oregon students are
very anxious to retain their prestige
in debate during the coming year.

SYSTEMATIC BURGLARY
GOING OS IX SALEM
That there Is a systematic band of
robbers operating in the city Is little
doubted by those who have been in
close touch with the police depart
ment the last few days. Last Wednes
day the home of Mr. Ross Moores was
entered some time in the evening or
late afternoon and a considerable
quantity of silverware and other val
uable articles stolen. In this case
the robbers were evidently scared
away, for they did not take several
things of value which were at hand.
Thursday night the. home of Ralph
S. Vance was entered and quite a lit
tle clothing stolen. B:ntrance was
gained by forcing the woodshed door
and although several people were
sleeping in the house, none of them
were awakened.
Police Chief Hamilton and Officer

In the near future.
The November Strand Matftslne.
The November Strand contains a
very striking article entitled "A Vis
ion of Gold" by the well-known Eng
lish statistician, John Holt Schooling.
Mr. Schooling bases his article on a
single cent placed out at five per
centtum compound Interest, A. D. 1.
The sum which this single cent
would amount to at the close of the
year 1910 Is almost inconceivable.
One Illustration alone will b 11 nice to
show the collossal growth of an
American cent In 1,910 years. The
value If turned Into Bpecle would be
suillclent to make 26,000 millions of
spheres of solid gold, each one being
equal to the planet Earth In volume!
Another article of Interest Is con
tributed by Charles Frohman on

interest by W. W. Jacobs, Barry
Pain, Richard Marsh, Arthur Morri

known writers. "Some Dickens Dis
