Juror Now A Maniac

Goes Mad After Conviction of Husband-Slayer—New Trial Asked.

Cambridge, Mass., May 10.—The development of insanity by Willis A. White of Maynard, one of the jurors who on May 4 convicted Chester S. Jordan of the murder of his wife, will be used by Jordan's attorneys in their plea for a new trial.

White returned home at Maynard Tuesday, showing marked effects of the strain of the trial, and yesterday he was sent to the Worcester Insane Hospital.

White was taken to Concord in an automobile from Maynard, and during a brief stop in front of the District Court building he became violent and implored the spectators who gathered about the machine either to save him or to shoot him. In the courtroom it was found necessary to administer a hypodermic injection to quiet him. White is a tall, strong farmer and it difficult to overpower him.
