Australian »nd N.Z. Cable Association. CRv>cd. 11.14 pjn.) MONTREAL, Juno 28.
Sir alienists for the Crown and an alienist for the defence agreed that Father Delorme, the Roman Catholic priest who is accused of the murder of his halfbrother, was insane and should not stand trial i'or murder. They declared that he was suffering from hypertrophy or overdevelopment of the ego. Tests were made of Delorme's blood and spinal fluid, and he was found to be suffering from a primal defect which deprived him of judgment of his own acts.
