THE DAILY JOURNAL -GAZETTE AND COMMERCIAL-STAR, MATTOON, ILLINOIS FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1928 CHALLENGES ARE USED ON HICKMAN JURY Three Women and One Man Ousted From Box for Cause. BY ARTHUR L. MAREK. (1. N.

S. Staff Correspondent.) Courtroom, Los Angeles, Jan. women and one man were ousted today from the tentative jury to try William Edward Hickman for the kidnaping and murder of Marion Parker as the defense challenged them in rapid succession. Four women and eight men remained in the box. The defense used the first four of its twenty allotted peremptory challenges to obtain a jury.

The prosecution has used only one. Superior Judge. J. J. Trabucco, presiding over the trial, defined today the law governing an insanity defense in personally examining prospective jurors as a decisive step to speed up the trial.

Court's Definition of Insanity. His definition follows: "Insanity means such a disease and deranged condition of the mental faculties as to render the person incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong in relation to the fact with which he is charged. An irresistible impulse to commit an act which a party knows to be wrong and unlawful (if it ever exists) does not constitute the insanity which is alegal defense. "The standard of accountability is this: Had the party sufficient mental capacity to appreciate the character and quality of the act? Did he know and understand that it was a violation of the rights of another, and in itself wrong? If he had the capacity thus to appreciate the character and comprehend the possible or probable consequences of his act, he is responsible to the law for the act thus committed, and is to be judged accordingly. "Although it is true, that generally the burden of proof is upon the prosecution, yet, to this rule there is this exception: Where insanity is relied upon as a defense, the burden of proving the existence of such insanity is on the defendant, and it is incumbent upon him to establish, by preponderance of evidence, that 1 he was insane at the time of committing the act charged." "GANGSTERS' DAY OVER" -HUGHES By International News Service.

"Chicago has a black name in every city in the country.

A 'Chicago How that name Well, I this time we mean business. Either the gangster goes or my police department goes, and I'll keep getting men on the force until every is run out of Chicago."
