United States v. Clarke

Which instruction the Court (nem. con.) refused to give, but instructed the jury, that if they should be satisfied, by the evidence, that the prisoner at the time of committing the act charged in the indictment, was in such a state of mental insanity, not produced by the immediate effects of intoxicating drink, as not to have been conscious of the moral turpitude of the act, they should find him not guilty.

Verdict, guilty. Sentence of death.
