ducing a certain effect. Train acknowl-
edges the authorship of the head lines,
but said it would be difficult to tell who
wrote the remainder. Previous to read

quested the ladies, there being large
number of the trong-minded present, TO
leave the room st this the Utica broker,
one of the Woodruff sisters, sprang TO
her feet, and wildly shrieking ''evil to
him that evil thinks" began a harangue
to the effect that her rights should not
be denied her on account of any maud

cut her short by ordering the room
cleared. Then ensued disgraceful
scene; shouts, curses, cheers and
I laughter arising on every side, and in
some instances foreible resistance was
offered to the Court officers, who sue

ing the mob pellmell into the corridors.
The investigation was resumed and the
testimony OF another medical expert
taken; it being to the effect that Train
was insane.
