Positions Maintained Concerning
Pappandopulos, Who One Tear
Ago Shot His Sister.
PARANOIAC, - SAYS " ALIENIST
County .Attorney Magney main
tains that George Pappandopulos, be
ing tried on a charge of shooting his
sister, Mra. Ellen Arbanllls, with In
tent to kill, la sane and waa sane
when he fired two bullets Into her
body. July 1. 1914.
Mr. Magney asserts he does not be
lieve that Pappandopulos was Suffering
from peranolao delusions, when he com
mitted the . act.- "Every' person's acta
often appear strange and when presented
to en expert alienist' might easily lead
to an opinion that the persons is In
sane," he said, "In my opinion' there is
nothing in the talk or sudden attacks of
Insanity." .......'
Dr. F. B. Coulter, alienist, called as a
witness by the defense, believes that
Pappandopulos, who Is' a penniless shoe
maker, waa suffering from paranoiac de
lusions when he shot his sister, of . the
same kind as caused Harry . Thaw, to
kill Btandford' White. The physician will
testify to this effect Monday.
The trial will . be resumed Monday
morning, following an Intermission of
Saturday and. Sunday. The' first pro
cedure will . be- arguments -and-a ruling
by Judge English, 'whether a dream of
twelve consecutive nights, which,' Pap
pandopulos says brought him to Omaha
from St. Louis, to purify his sister's
soul, after she had left her husband for
another man. shall be received in evi
dence as told by himself.
Although . Mrs. . Arbanllls died at St.
Joseph hospital, where , she wss taken
after 1 the ' shooting, Pappandopulos is
charged only with shooting with Intent
to kill, because physicians say her death
was due directly to peritonitis, caused
by an ailment from which she previously
(uffered.
