JfOLLEKTON. jolM. 7ith the terrible disgrace, and the scenes that had preceded, young Nutt kuew not at the moment what he was doing. And that we shall prove to you. We shall show you by evi dence, that at the time be did the deed, the past wrongs and outrages upon bis family had made him unable to control his will. Tnat be was pressed into tbe commission of that act by a controlling influence and overpowering, is the de fense in this case. An inflence that he could not resist, is our declaration of his part in the deed performed. .We will show you in tbe course of our investigation tbe circumstances that preceded this shooting. We will show yon his affectionate nature, bis love of home, his devotion to his father and his mother aud sisters. We will show what an interest he took in the farm and his father's and the family affairs. The deep interest and love be bad for all home projects. Then we will show you bow that boy was changed by tbe murder of his father. How he became lonely, melancholy and sad. His entire life's current seem ed changed. Hut up to the trial of Lvman Dukes for killing Mr. •Nutt, young James knew nothing about tho terrible letters that Dukes had written, casting horrible aspersions upon bis sister, bankrupting the family's honor, as well as destroying its head. When the boy heard those terrible letters, the most damnably horrible that human hand has ever penned or human thoughts devised, letters which will be read here in evidence to show you, when be beard those letters ruining his sister, aud forever casting a stigma up on all his little sisters, his mind gave way. That we will show you. He walked the floor nights long, spent in weeping. His appetite forsook him. Reason was overthrown. All this we willlhow you. Gentlemen of tbe jury, I say that nut in fifty years has a man been convicted for slaying the man who bad seduced his wife or sisteh Not in fifty years, even in cases where strong men did the deed. Even Daniel K. Sickles, whose wife had been debauch ed, a man strong in mentality, was ac quitted. But there is no case paral el to this present one in the annals of our country, Not only did this man Dukes seduce this boy's sister, as has been ad mitted, but he also added to hi* damn able deed by killing that sister's fat her. Years ago a man numed Carter, who had seduced tbe wife of a man ijained Smith, previoua to Smith's marriage to her, was shot by Smith That case was tried by Judge Allison, and Alli son allowed evidence to be produced that Washington Smith's mind bad been so affected by discovering his wife's seduction that h« was not re sponsible and accordingly acquitted him. Now if a Judge could adiuitevi deuca in a case like that to prove men tal derangement, bow more rapidly should it be admitted in a case like this wben tbe sister was seduced and the father murdered. No man who committed such a crime as Dukes should go unpunished Dukes kuew that He knew there was the hand of fate awaiting hirn. We shall show you by the best medical authority that there is insanity pro duced by grief and outrage, and that those causes can dethrone reason and render the sufferer irresponsible. No twelve Indians would hang a boy for taking in his hands a justice that be longed to him. And you, gentlemen, of the jury, will not add to a sister's destruction and a father's murder, the murder of a brother and an orphaned son. The test of right and wrong does not pre vad in a case of this kind We do not claim that James Null did not know what he was doing; but we do claim that his disordered mind no longer had a control upon his actions. The test of right and wrong is not to be taken into consideration in this in stance " liy Patterson—"We admit that." Mr. Plavford continuing, "We will call Dr. Fuller the physician of the Nutt family, who has attended the boy from his birth, and will testify that he was always delicate aud of a nervous temperament We will show that af ter the shooting of his father the liabil ity to mental disturbances that is he reditary in James Nutt's family, and which has afflicted his uncles and his aunt, took strong hold upon him, and affected his reason so lhat he did not poswHH a control of biniHelf up to the hour 1 • nbot I>uk«H. Meeting I)uk»-K day nfi«T day, after Dukt-H' Htrangu ac quittal, neeing him Hiieer in bin lace, ltcliug Lis tttuuta, drove Liu distracted. BUTLER, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 18S4 ! I gay, gentlemen of the jury, the shoot ing of Dukes wss the hand of fate It was society's redress fur the great wrong it had suffered, and those bul lets, which sped so accurately, uatil a single band could cover the spat of their destiny, were directed by some other than human agency. We will show you that the pistol practice with his uncles, that has been cited by the Commonwealth, was done with an old horse pistol, and has no connection or importance in this case. The pistol with which Nutt took away-Dukes' life has a history. That pistol was the pistol that Captain Nutt carried while he was cashier of the Stale Treasury, and was the same pistol found on his porson after he had been murdered by Dukes. We will show to you all this and prove to you that there can be but one verdict in thi3 case, aud that will lie one ot acquittal. And so I submit tbe case to you." Dr. Smith Fuller, the family physi cian of the Nutts, was the first witness called by tbe defense. By Mr. Brown—Where do you re side, Dr. Fuller ? Dr. Fuller—At Uniontown. I have attended tbe Nutt family for seventeen years. Have known the defendant, James Nutt, for that time. I have treated him when sick several times, and my acquaintance with him reaches to tbe present time. Mr. Brown} —State whether you think James Nutt mentally deficient? Objected to by the prosecution. The Court overruled the objection and decided that a family physician can give testimony as to the mental capac ity and characteristics of tbe family members treated by him. Mr Brown—What is your opinion of James Nutt's mental capacity ? Doctor—l have always believed him to be mentally deficient and without sound mental attributes. Brown—Would he be inclined to harbor feelings of enmity for a long time ? Doctor—He would. Brown vv ould it increase ? Doctor—lt would. Brown—Would he become a mono maniac on the subject of avenging his father's death ? Doctor—He would probably become a monomaniac. Brown—Are weak minded people predisposed to monomania? Doctor—They are, sir. Tbe doctor further stated that in a person of James Nutt's mentality tbe brooding upon his father'sdeath would unsettle his mind and so incapacitate him for a mental control over himself Cross-examined—For what have you treated James Nutt? Doctor—For a broken limb, heart disease and other things Prosecution—What reason have you to think him imbecile ? Doctor—tie was a slow thinker, not logical in bis thoughts. His thoughts were disconnected He made replies slowly. 11 is general nature and phys iognomy made me think so. He was difficult to engage in conversation, and gave evidence of a lack of mental ca pacity. He was weak minded. It was not idiocy. I believe there are two classes—imbeciles and idiots. I would class him as an imbecile, bnt not as au idiot. The admittance of this testimony by the Court destroyed tbe prosecution's attempt to rule out this line of defense of emotional insanity, and gavo the field clear to the defense. Doctor—His father told me that he hoped to get James into some garden ing or something of that sort, as he felt that James was not capacitated for ordinary business. Mrs. Nutt was next callled and sworn. By counsel for the defense—"Mrs. Nutt, please raise your veil." The re quest was complied with. "Who was your husband?" Mrs Nutt—Adam C. Nutt. At the mention of the name by his mother James Nutt commenced cryiug and bit his fingers nervously. Mrs. Nutt—under question by coun sel—stated that her husband hail died suddenly at the Jennings Hotel, IJnion town. Defense—How many children have you? Mrs. N.—Nine. The youngest is four years of age; the second a boy ot six; the third a girl of eight; the fourth a girl ol ten; the next a boy of twelve: then a boy of sixteen, then James, twenty-one years, and then Lizzie, who is the oldest. Defense—Where was James at the time of bis father's death? Mrs. N —At Rochester, N. Y., at tending school. He immediately came home at the time of his father's death. Mrs. Nutt testified that her husband previous to the war taught school, and that after he returned from the army they removed to Uniontown, where be engaged in the law business, antl was also employed in a bank. That the family lived in Uniontown about fif teen years, and then removed to South Union, where they now reside. Defense—Was James a good boy? Mrs N.—Yes, sir; lit; was U good boy. Ho was greatly uttuched to his father. There wan more than ordinary ft flection between James and myself He was a very quiet boy, and not at all talkative. When home he attend ed to the garden and worked around the house. We have about eleven aeres in the place. He took >
