MURDERER DECLARED INSANE. Gisborne, Sept. 12. In the Supreme Court the trial of George Monkhouse for the attempted murder of William Campbell, was opened. After hearing evidence, Mr Justice Chapman said_ho did not see how any jury could get away from Dr Ross’ evidence as to the insanity of accused. Whatever specific delusions accused was labouring under he seemed to think he had some reason for killing Campbell. On the man’s condition, and the evidence as to the act and the medical evidence, the jury would have to consider whether it was not ft proper thing to say that at the time of the crime accused was insane, and ought to be acquitted. The jury returned a verdict of acquittal on the grounds of insanity. WOMEN ARE AMAZED!
