"I Consider Him Sane"

HE doesn't really mean it, does he? And what about the self-confessed murderer?

About the author:
- FictionMags thumbnails our author, Ernest Marsh Poate, this way: "Born on a ship in the Indian Ocean; died in Southern Pines, North Carolina; psychiatrist, attorney and author."
  The man was a writing machine, churning out dozens of stories for the pulps, primarily 
(but not exclusively to) Detective Story Magazine, creating three series characters: Doctor Bentiron (32 stories) writing under his own name, as well as Doctor Grimes (3 stories) and Doctor Krook (4 stories) writing as "Arthur Mallory"; see the Mystery*File article about that (HERE). 
  Other info: Wikipedia (HERE) and the ISFDb (HERE).
