The
trial
of

was
halted

when

of
whether
or
not
he

by
Mr.

af-
ter
both
defence
and

counsel
had
agreed
upon
accused's
apparent
insanity.
The
trial
lasted
little
more
than
an
hour.
Owing
to
Jus-sjla's
poverty,
W.
E.

was
directed
to
conduct
his
defence.

The
Grand
Jury
reported
a

bill
In
the
case.
The
crown

then
Intimated
that
Jussila
had
no
funds
and
that
he
had
no

His
Lordship
advised
that
W.

had
been
appointed
by

Mr.

submitted
that

to

ed
His
Lordship
to
direct
that

Mr.

stated
that
the

had
been
advised
by
Its
alien
ist
that
JussRa
was
Incapable
of
Instructing

defense.
He
agreed
that
accused
should
be

Mr.

thereupon
ordered
that
accused
be
tried
as
to
his
sanity.
The
empanelment
of
a
ury
for
this
purpose
then
followed.
The
Issue
was
"whether
accused

or
was

of
Insanity
to
take
his
trial
on
the
charge
for
which
he

Conduct
Described
Sergeant
Andrew
Fairbalrn,
provincial
police.
Smlthers,
testified
ihat,
while
in
a
cell
at
Smlthers
from
October
13
to
25
last,
accused
would
wander
up
and
down
and
raise
what
he
called
"his
good
nuse,
referring
to
lls
cell.
He
was
.Iso
afraid
of
getting
wet
because
'ie
thought
the
lattice
work
On
the
wall
of
his
cell
was
the
roof.
He
took
his
blanket
and
tried
to
stuff
the
latticework
so
as
to
keep
dry.
When
he
saw
a
car
In
a
magaxlne,
he
would
claim
it
was
his.
Such
was
his
conduct
whether
'or
not
police
officers
were
in
sight.
Even
in
the
middle
of
the
night
he
would
be
(carrying
on
such
a
performance.
His
talk
was
also
peculiar.
At
meals
he
would
follow
the
officer
carrying
the
food
like
a
dog.
In
answer
to
the
Judge,
the
officer
expressed
the
belief
that
accused
was
not
feigning,
such
conduct.
At
the
request
of

Provincial
Constable

of
Smlthers
described
how
he
had
arrested
Jussila.
Witness
saw
a
pair
of
legs
In
a
rough
dug-out
and
a
rifle
jointed
directly
at
him.
The
officer
covered
accused
and
the
latter
finally
laid
down
his
gun
though
he
tried!
to
get
it
again.
Finally,
as
witness
kept
Jussila
covered,
Special
Constable
Macdonald
was
able
to
get
hold
of
the
gun
which
accused
had
had.
At
first
Talt
felt
that
accused
was

Insanity.
Then-
he
became
doubtful
and
finally
came.
to
the
conclusion
that
accused
was

Insane
or
else

Dr.
Francis

told
of
examining
Jussila
on
