insanity witness admitted insane persons were more liable to be adjudged sane than sane persons to be adjudged insane scoville questioned witness relative to the symptoms and causes of insanity witness stated insanity was the result of deceased brain and was asked are you not confounding cause and effect I 1 and cannot unusual excitation of emotion or ex cesi sive worry and care and anxiety overturn reason and cause disease of the brain witness ss admitted that such might be the case with some qualification that overwork care and acx anxiety might produce dyspepsia which with other causes might lead to insanity sanf sani tymna tyana and that would mahe make the necessary disease of brain and disease of brain would at length turn into insanity question well now Is lc not a fact
