in what families he was teaching, and de-
clined to talk about anything but the case
before the Court. Justice Murry, who had

to the records of prison horrors. One OF its
inmates J. Earle Putnam who was brought
there nearly three weeks ago as strong, in
telligent fine-looking man, has been discoy-
cred to be raving maniac Imprisoned
on what is considered frivolous charge,
thrown into a cell, deserted by friends and
prosecuted by his enemies, the reason of
this unfortunate man has been dethroned
far beyond recovery. On the 9Th of the
present month stock broker, Vim. F. o.
Fay, began legal proceedings against Mr..
Putnam, claiming 800, 600 damages against
him and basing his demand upon the
ground that Putnam had slandered him.
Fay laid his grievances before Justice
Donohue, of the Supreme Court, and was
granted an order of arrest. Putnam, the
unfortunate prisoner, is only wreck OF
what was once fine looking man, of large
stature, clear cut features, massive forehead,
and eyes of piercing brilliancy. He strikes
beholders as having once been man of
great power, both mentally and physically.
He has hair and eyes of inky blackness and
is about thirty-two years old. Application
is made for his removal to the insane
asylum.
