No experts were allowed to testify *in front of the jury*. However,
Maynard M. Metcalf did take the witness stand on July 15th, 1925.
Statements from experts were read into the trial record.
The list of those whose statements went into the transcript
is:
Charles Hubbard Judd
Jacob L. Lipman
Fay Cooper Cole
Wilber A. Nelson
Kirtley F. Mather
Maynard M. Metcalf
Winterton C. Curtis
Horatio H. Newman
