A RED-HOT sCATHING.
County Attorney Egan Lashes the
Hegeners With a Fiery Whip.

When court opened yesterday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, Mr.. Egan was ready to
address the jury. Before starting on
his closing argument, he said:
"May it please the court, would like
to be heard on the question Of insanity.
1t has not been defined in this case"
''If this is to be general discussion
with the court as to insanity" said Mr..
Erwin, II object"
He was allowed to speak.
ssIn the first place." he said, 81 might
talk on general insanity. No particular
type is mentioned here. 1t is left open,
as wide as river. There is moral
insanity. but no moral insanity
here. A total absence of will
power and reason would excuse
from any crime, but it is not shown
here that there is total loss OF Will
power. Leaving out general insanity.
what type is involved? Is it emotional
or moral insanity? Moral insanity, the
weight of authority says. is no excuse
for crime. 1t was unanimously re-
solved at the national medical cOnven-
ton at Chicago that there was no such
thing as moral insanity. 1t is imp0ssi-
BILE to define the line. There is another
kind of insanity resulting from delusiOn.
Courts have held that where the facts
exist there is no delusion. A man may
imagine he is king and has great
wealth. If he has such wealth it is no
delusion. | recite an instance where a
man claimed his partner had robbed
him. He was believed to be insane,
and the whole burden of his song was
that his partner had robbed him. Well,
his partner had done so. Consequently
it was not insanity. The facts existed,
and his statement was actual reason
ing.''
Judge Egan here read extracts from
works on insanity supporting his the
ory. He cited the Guiteau case, in
which Judge Cox said: "a man may
do something that he believes to be
right. and the law on the subject to be
wrong, but he must obey the law"
''Mrs. Hegener believed she was
right" said Judge Egan.
"Moral insanity is that excuse man
uses who does not care to bride his pas
siOns, and as soon as he has committed
some act of violence, subsidies"
sThat's all right" said Mr.. Erwin,
1--WE don't claim any moral insanity"
AN ABLE ARGUMENT.
Judge Egan then addressed the jury
i'm his closing argument as follows:
Gentlemen OF the Jury: [ think we
can congratulate ourselves on the rapid
progress of this case and the entire abb
sence OF those irritable remarks so often
occurring in criminal cases. You have
the entire case. You all come from diff
ferent lands, the weight of your brains
is different, and you are here to try this
woman. You appreciate the situation.
YOu are here to administer Justice, not
to extend sympathy. How idle. VAN

some rule TO 90 by. If you don't stick
to some rule In business, you have no

from that rule, then farewell to all
rights and safety of home. business and

After Mrs. Emmons' Estate.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Prof. En-
mons, through counsel, to-day filed
petition asking that letters of admins
tration be issued to him on the estate of
his deceased wife, the late Weltha A.
Emmons. The petition sets forth that
Mrs. EmmOns had in her custody GER
tain property belonging to petitioner.
and that the only property that she had
was such as petitioner had given her
during their marriage, and over which
she had no testamentary control. The pc
tition also AYERS that Mrs. EmmonS was
not of sonnd mind at the time she made
her will, and that she was also under
the undue influence of some unknown
person The petition, therefore, asks
that the will be set aside. Some discus
sion enused between counsel for Prof.
Emmons and counsel for Henry Wise
Garnett, administrator of Mrs. EmmonS'
estate, and the latter filed petition
stating that he was entitled to have the
issues raised determined by jury, and
praying that the court frame the ques-
tionS involved in the case. 1t was
finally decided to postpone the matter
until next week.

A Government Gain.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The secre-
tary of the treasury transmitted to the
house to-day statement from the treas
urer of the United States relative to the
probable loss by destruction of legal
tender currency. After tracing the
probable causes of the destruction OF
notes by fires. railway accidents, ETC.,
the treasurer goes on to say that it may
be safely argued that the gain to the
government will be due mainly to the
destruction of notes under the denOmi-
nat ion of $50.

Forcing Female Suffrage.

Special to the GLOBE.
DEs MONIES. To-, March 2.-The
lower house of the Iowa legislature, by
a vote of so to AZ, this evening ordered
the engrossment of bill comforting
municipal and school suffrage upon
women. Under the whip and spur of
the previous question, with less than
two hours discussion, this result was
reached. 1t requires tifty-one votes to
pass bill, but as there were eight alb
sent there is no question of obtaining
the additional vote when the bill comes
up for passage tomorrow. The meas
ure, in the opinion of the attorney gen
mittee and the leading lawyers of both
the house and senate, is clearly uncon-
stitutional. The code declares that at
all elections authorized by law male cit
liens over twenty-one years of age shall
be allowed to vote. The suffragists rea
son that as female suffrage is not ex-
preSSly prohibited it can be conferred.

FORFEITED TO KILLEN.
The Backers of Glow Failed to
Make the Second Deposit.


Make the Second Deposit.
Yesterday afternoon Pat Killen came
to the GLOBE Office and put up $500, his
second deposit in the match made
between himself and Glow, according to
articles signed Feb. 2. Up to midnight
this had not been covered by Glow or
his hackers, and at that hour Killen
again appeared and took the entire
stakes, including the $500 forfeit de-
posted by Glow. So that the
match is off. Killen states that in
the near future he will issue another
challenge and put up his own good
money to back it.
Killen has written letter to the
Sporting and Theatrical Journal, of
Chicago, squaring himself on the
charges of cowardice made in that pa
per in his treatment OF McAulitfe. He
claims that he is not afraid of McAulitfe
and will be glad to meet him at any
time when the proper amount of money
is guaranteed. McAuliffe's backer
wanted Killen to arrange a fight with
Cardiff, but he refused to do this, as he
says it would have been a hippOdrOme.

TOSSING FOR CHOICE.
Mitchell Elects to Get Punched on
the Continent A bout March 10.

Some particulars of the meeting for
the purpose of making the final deposit
of stakes to be fought for by Sullivan
and Mitchell, as cabled to the New York
Sun, are interesting. John L. was not
present. He had remained in dignified
grandeur at Windsor. where he and the
queen have been stopping lately, and
he was represented by Edward Holske
and John Barnett. Mitchell was there
to represent himself, backed up by Jake
Kilrain, Charles Rowell, Pony Moore,
his doughty father-in-law. and jerks, of
New York. Mitchell objected to Harry
Bull, the very fat bookmaker, as stake
holder, but, despite that. he was re-
tanned in office, according to the original
contract, and each side handed him
e4OO, which, in addition to the a100 al
ready up on each side, made $1,000 for
the men to fight for. B. J. Hugh,
stock-broker of sporting propensities.
and who is looked upon as a fair man
and not to be frightened, was agreed
upon as referee. Mitchell won the toss
for the battle ground, and elected to get
punched on the continent, naming the
10th or 18th of March as the day of fight

Cornell VS.. Pennsylvania.

The Cornell navy has sent challenge
to University of Pennsylvania, propos
ing a race in eight-oared shells, at any
time and place that may be mutually
agreeable. The reason that eights are
mentioned h is stated to be that as Cor c0Tne ELL
the Childs cup last year, it is evident
that there is lack of interest among
collegians in four-oared races. 1t is
probable that the challenge will be ac-
cepted also that the University of Penn
sylvania will abandon the annual races
at New London with Yale, thinking
that the necessary expense money re-
quired to take the crews to Connecticut
and pay there expenses while there,
can be expended to better advantage by
arranging eight-oared races with Cor
nell, Columbia and local eights.
