DALEY'S CONDUCT IN JAIL.
His Conversation and Conduct Lik,
That of Sane Man.

HIS Conversation and Conduct Like
That of Sane Man.
The trial Of John Daley for the murder Of
Mr.. j. g. G. Kennedy was resumed In the
criminal court on Saturday morning.
The first witness called by the govern
ment in rebuttal was DR.. McWilliams, the
jail physician, who testified that Daley was
undoubtedly under q delusion when he
imagined that he had been poisoned and
was suffering from the effects Of 1t. Daley
had conducted himself nationally since his
arrest Once when he remarked to Daley
that he was looking well, Daley replied,
"You mustn't judge book by the covers"
DIR. j. NJ. Toner testified to examining
Daley some six or eight years ago, when he
called at his Office and said he was suffering
from poison. Witness found no evidence
Of poison, and thought Daley's statements
as to his condition and the cause were ex-
aggerated. Outside of that one delusion
he thought Daley's mental condition was
good.
Sigourney Butler said he was not an ex-
pert on insanity, but his impression was,
on seeing Daley immediatly after he MUIR
dered Mr.. Kennedy, that he was sane. He
was very calm and collected.
George Il. Baxter, who was In the drug
store where Daley was brought by the
ol1icers, and VINO observed HIN closely Tor
about twenty-five minutes, said he thought
Daley was sane.
Richard +. Harvey, the undertaken, iden-
tilted two checks paid by Mr.. Kennedy to
defray the funeral expenses of Michael
Daley.
E. A. Newman, Clarence f. Cobb, and
Wm. q. Rabbet, who witnessed the homi-
eide and saw the prisoner afterward, gave
similar testimony.
Sister Malnsuta, OF the Academy OF the
Holy Cross, testified to Daley's connection
with that institution, and Identified a
promissory note and an account book
which showed the financial dealings Daley
had with the sister superior.
Counsel had several tilts during the day,
and Judge Montgomery had, IN the interest
Of peace, TO interfere, one time suggesting
that the court adjourn for few days Ia

Of alcohol, tobacco, and profanity, and
even cider, hard or sweet, is debarred.
Mrs. La Fetra, who has charge OF the
league, presided, and was assisted by DR..
Newman, the pastor OF the church. All
through the audience were seen the little
red, white, and blue badges worn by those
who had taken the pledge. The service
was opered by DR.. Newman, In touching
prayer that the young, "the hope OF the re-
public" might be enlisted In the cause Of
temperance.
After several Sunday school and temper
aGce hymns were sung, Mrs. La Fetra stated
the splendid results achieved by the league
in membership, and holding up little card,
on which was the written pledge OF abstiu-
ence, asked how many desired to join.
Eighteen little girls, ranging from to IL
ladies promptly raised their hands In
response. After each had signed the roll
Of the legion and taken the pledge to ab.
stain from wine, whisky, beer, liquor in any
| form as beverage, tobacco, and profanity,
Mrs. La Fetra pinned to each one Of the
badges.
The children then listened to an instruc
tive address from Mrs. Young, Of Kansas
prominent temperance worker and edu
Gator Of the young, on how to succeed IL

shown.
The legion is rapidly growing in mem
