1Opinion of the Court

ARCHIBALD, Justice.

Defendant, having been indicted for the felonious homicide punishable as murder, entered pleas of not guilty and not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. A Penobscot County jury, having heard evidence offered by the State limited to proof of the commission of the crime by the.defendant, and having heard defense testimony focused completely on the defendant’s mental capacity, returned a guilty verdict. Judgment was entered accordingly, from which an appeal was seasonably taken.

We deny this appeal.
