The District Attorney Expresses
Doubts of the Defcudanta Iliness
and Physicians nTc Apppiu;eu 10
Examine His condition.
Immediately after the Criminal Court
opened this morning District Attorney Cork
hill stated that he wished 10 call tho attention
OF the Court to tho cascs against MIR. y. Frank
Blgclow, whose condition had heretofore boen
brought TO tho notice of tho Court. II the
facts as set forth in these Indictments, ana
there were number OF thom, DO true, then
there had been largo defalcatlon nnd there
should be n trial. There seemed 10 be some
fatality attached 10 cases OF this sort and an
inability to secure trials In cases OF THIS dc,
scriptlon. There were the cases OF HltH anu
others in connection with tho Gorman'Amerl-
can Bank, upon which 80 far II had been I'm,
that such n result should follow in'this
instance. lie did not wish 70 take any
course, under the clrcunstances, that
muchnbout tho mans condition, but informa.
ton came TO him different from what had been
represented. He had been told, while y was
ho was actually about tho house, and only
took to his bed when there was q deposition
shown to hayo him brought into court. pr.
Adams was his physician, and reputable
man, but he thought that other physicians
should see him and mako an examination and
report on his condition. He would ASK tho
Court to appoint two physicians to mako an
examination and report on his condition.
These cases were serious ones, and he did not
Intend that tho uctcnuant SnOulu csctpo lIlul.
Mrs. Lockwood said that she had furnished
to the Distrlcr Attorney tho cortincato OF Dr.
Joseph Taber Johnson ana wished 70 know
why the prosecuting onlcer 1ld not prihg IL
MIR. Bgclow's family physician ana had been
called IN, on that account, that II might DO tue
medical opinion OF an outside physlclan. She
visited Mr.. Blgelow's house nearly every day.
He was sick, confined 10 his bed, and had been
go sick as to scarce be able to write his name.
lie wanted trial. and the first thing he would
81 a mile. MOtlll
courthouse and stand his trial. Thcro hnd
been several statements, incorrect ones, made
as TO his condition, and they were very grleV'
Colonel Corkhlli said that he had received
reliable statements that on tho former occa.
sion when IL was suggested that Mr. Blgelow
be brought Into court ho was up around tho
house, and had taken bath, and ho under
stood that this very day he was arranging 10
take n ride. After this act was committed tho
man ran away and was brought back, ana was
well enough until 1t came near time for iu-
dlctments to be found against him.
Mrs. Lockwood denied the truth OF tho story
that Mr.. Bigelow was going out riding to-day,
but II tho District.Attornoy thought so he
could be on the watch and have him arrested
while riding.
His Honor said IL he went riding then 1t
would be time enough TO tell what - 10.
"He may not take the ride now," said the
District Attorney. "MrS. Lockwood VIII again
put him TO bed"
His Honor thought that what tho District At.
torney said in regard TO the selection OF disln-
tcrested physicians to mako an examination
OF the condition OF Mr.. Bigelow was probably
correct, and 1t would do no harm to have tho
physicians make such an examination and
submit their report as to his condition. Mrs.
Lockwood could name one and the District
Attorney the other.
Mra Lockwood had no objection TO the Dis
trict Attorney naming both and rather pre-
ferred that he would.
His Honor said that would do. subsequently
the District Attorney named Drs. N. S. Lincoln
and u. II. Sewers, and they were appointed by
the Court 10 make the examination.
