JUDGE M'C0Y'S INSANITY.
Conclusive Evidence that the Mind of the
Georgia Jurist Is Hopelessly Diseased

ATLANTA Ga Dec. BIT is admitted even
by his friend that Judge Mccoy, of the federal
court for the Northwest district of Georgia,
is an insane man. His brother, Prof Mccoy, Of
Baltimore, has been telegraphed for, to come
and take measures for the safety
of the afflicted jurist. At the open
ing of the present term Of court the
Judge had placed at his feet tub filed
with water and crushed ice, and while trial
would be in progress he would keep his feet
alternately in the tub. From this action he re
sorted to others, until it was noticed that his
mind was Eighty At first the suspicion that it
might be drink that was getting the better of
him induced the lawyers to keep the
matter quiet until the Judge could be
reached by some of MS intimates, but
when yesterday he impaneled a jury
without regard to modes of law. and put
Emory Speer through ridiculous personal ex-
animation, it flashed upon all that the Judge was
certainly insane man. So evident was this
fact that counsel who had received orders and
DEGREES during the day agreed to consider them
cancelled, and III. b. +. Abbott, a personal friend
of the Judge was deputed to get him off the
bench.
II am going to preach gospel in Africa" ex-
claimed Mccoy Look at those poor people
who never go to church because they have poor
clothes. | will preach in the car-shed, Sunday
and no rich man must be admitted"
Then he would look wildly around the streets
as he was being driven home, and declared that
half the negroes should be killed as a warning
to the other half. That would be good way to
solve the colored problem.
Later he began TRADE against the doctors
"Kill the whole brood he exclaimed, except
few surgeons to amputate the LIMBS
The condition of the afflicted man was so pit
liable as to arouse universal pity. In one of his
lucid moments he blamed his misfortune ON his
son-in-law, whose eight children he has had to
support.
Said one of the most distinguished lawyers of
Georgia. who has just come from McCoys side,
That man is hopelessly crazy. If / had a
case which was to come up before him. before ne
should try it l would go before the ordinary and
institute lunacy proceedings
Judge Mccoy is a native of New Hampshire,
but for forty-f five years has lived in Georgia
While he has always been Republican, he
has never lost caste with his former
admirers He ranks at the State bar
with Linton Stephens, Senator Brown and
like men. His appointment three years ago to
the federal bench had the Endorsement of the
white people of the State as being fully as ac-
ceptable as if he was Democrat. His inability
to hold court now leaves Georgia without fed
era Judge, the President having failed as yet to
appoint Judge for the Southern circuit 1t is
supposed that Prof. Mccoy will take the Judge
with him, and place him in private asylum in
the North.

II should think so. Four Treasury girls were

UNCLE SAM DOWNED
In Singular Suit Which Involved Mails
and Lotteries.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec 13.-In the case of the
United States vs.. S. B. Mason, involving the
individual right to send lottery tickets through
thA mails by purchaser, Judge Hughes has
decided against the United States. The facts
presented were as follows Mason purchased a
ticket which drew prize, and, assuming fcti-
tious name, wrote to an agent of the lottery
company. This letter, under Postmaster gener
al Greshams recent order, was sent to che dead
letter office IN Washington, to which point it
was tr1ced by United States inspectors, opened,
and by correspondence with the fictitious writer
of the letter Mason's identity was established.
Subsequently the letter was presented to the
grand jury in Richmond, and Mason was in
dicte1 The case was presented for trial with
the result stated.
The court held that Mason, who was not an
agent or venGer for the lottery company. had
perfect right to use the mails. This is
unique in the fact that for the first time III the
history of the government the sanctity of the
mails was violated by opening the letter upon
which was based solely the indictment against
Mason,
