n1a;n4;ye tone of voice, and gave me
the impression that ne was iaboring I'M
der certain amount Of fear or appre'
hcnsion. Part Of his conversation,
which otherwise was perfectly rational.
convened the same impression. He in
tinased that his relations were against
him. and [ understood him to give this
as a reason why his house was barrl-
caded. SO far as I could make out
through his prison-like bars, he was
lab 7ring under a partial insanity-a
monomania Of suspicion or perseeu-
ton He would not attach his name
to any deed or paper bearing her Males
tvs stamp, the reason assigned being
! that she was not the rightful heir to
the throne. Nothing could induce him
to use either postage or receipt stamp,
lest he should seem to admit the
Queen supremacy. With curious IN
consistency, he had no scruple against
making use of the coin bearing her
image. From the same objection he
would not cash his dividend warrants,
which remained in his house, forming
an accumulation of very dirty papers.
He had the characteristic fear OF pol:
son his diet was bread and cheese, red
herrings, milk and gin. For some years
he had given up milk, suspectins that
poison lad been put into it. The great
novelist. and others more accustomed
to insanity than he, did not consider
that Mr. Lucas was person whom the
law could properly take under its guar
diaaship as person of unsound mind.
We cannot help thinking that it would
have been far kinder and more reason
able to recognize his obvious linbecill-
ties. decisions and miserable alterations
of opinion and conduct as constituting
him a lunatic, requiring proper care
and decent attendance. Mr.. Mopes Is

ter county, Pennsylvania. Undertook
had been raised in the same neighbor-
hood, and it was at his solicitation that
these plain country people con-
sented to take Wilson (Goss) as board
er. Undertook represented him to be
a man whom his friends were anxious
to send to the country in order to keep
hin away from whisky. He spent the
winter of 1928 at boarding house
in Newark, New Jersey; and here he
was visited by Undertook few days
before the trial Of the case against the
insurance con pany began in the United
States Circuit Court at Baltimore. The
trial exhausted the funds Of Undertook,
and his co-conspirators and when
Judge Bond ruling on the motion for
a new trial, took away all hope OF real
ling anything from the insurance com
panies for at least five months, their
case became desperate.
FATAL DELAY.
In the meantime, Goss became more
importunate for money every day. HIS
drinking habits grew upon him IN his
seclusion, and he often let fall express
sions, which. if they had been heard
bv persons familiar with the proceed
ings in Baltimore against the insurance
companies, would have betrayed him.
Although he changed his name, he
could not divest himself Of certain Pc
culiarities of habit. He frequently
talked about his India-rubber discov-
ery, and he carried with him the model
of a patent screw-driver, with which all
his Baltimore acquaintance are .famil-
lar. Undertook, thoroughly alarmed
at his frequent appeals for money, and
fearing that he would come out from
his hiding place and reveal the plot,

ployed, at noon on the 26th Of June,

derzook, the murderer Of his brother-in-
law, Winfield Scott Goss. Business
matters were evidently neglected, the
attention of every one being absorbed
on the same subject. The various inns
were thronged with rural visitors, and
large numbers of vehicles in the differ
ent yards bore ample testimony to the
morbid taste proverblal to the country
people, which impelled their owners to
neglect their customary duties for the
purpose Of seeing human being
meet violent end, however merited,
Groups Of men and women. old and
Young. white and colored, were cluster
