CLAY NOT INSANE. EXPERTS BELIEVE Wife Slayer Ignores Questions, But Is Otherwise Normal, Examiners Find. Although the committee of alienists has not made its final verdict as to the sanity of Robert L. Clay, the wife I slayer, it is understood that tlie exatn- I inations so far convince the experts I that Clay is sane. The findings of the alienists will not be made public ilntil Clay is placed on trial before a spe cial lunacy jury in June. The three experts appointed by Judge Roan, of the criminal court, Drs. J. B. Baird, J. N. Ellis and S. H. Green, vis ited the Tower Thursday afternoon and conducted a lengthy and exhaustive ex amination. Further examinations will be made before the time for the trial. During the whole time Clay was un der the probe of the alienists he never spoke, maintaining his same demeanor lof silence that has marked his entire incarceration. With mouth open, he stared wildly at the walls of his cell, I refusing to pay the slightest attention to the experts or their questions. His pulse and temperature were, found to be normal, and he sleeps and eats well. Jail officials are satisfied Clay is sham ming insanity. If the experts report the slayer sane and he is found sane by the special jury, he then will be placed on trial for murder. On tills trial his counsel will enter the plea that he was insane at the time of the killing, and this will form his defense.
