HE IS INSANE.
Result OF Lunacy Proceedings in
the Larkins Case.
The Jury Find that the Prisoner is
of Unsound Mind.
He is Remanded to the Care of the
Sheriff for the Present.

y lunacy court was in session at the
Office of Judge Bergman yesterday. VIM.
Larkin was the subject of the inquiry.
Larkin has displayed violence in public
several times. On one occasion he Gre
ated a disturbance at the Inter Ocean, and
when Jailed divided bis time between pro-
ducing dynamite literature and scattering
coal about the prison. Some of his notes
included most terrible threats of destTuc
ton to buildings aud persons. Two or
three weeks ago Larkin secured a horse
and a shotgun and went on the warpath
IN earnest. Alter tezrorizing several To-
c~alities he visited the city park and dis
charged his weapon, startling everyone.
He has been confined in the hospital ever
since this escapade. Larkin has a brother
who is a section boss on the Union Paci.
fc, but who is unable to care for his un-
fortunate relative. At times the.nan is
quite rational, but when imprisoned be-
comes violent. That he has not injured
someone is little short OF a miracle.
During the proceedings yesterday these
gentlemen appeared as witnesses: DR..
Marston, county physician, J. G. Baird,
Esq. Jas. B. Walsh, ?. j. Nolan, Chas.
Wilseck, Chris. Christensen, John A.
Martin, sheriff. L. II. Ingalls, and +. c.
Thomson, deputy sheriff. Mr.. Baird APP
peared before the court as a representa-
tive of Larkin's brother.
The testimony adduced was materially
as stated above. At the hospital Lar
kins had been at night confined in the
dead room and at times was crazed with
terror, but there was no other room in
which he might be safely placed. A
cell in the county jail had nearly as much
terror for the man as the dreaded dead
room. The evidence all tended to es-
tablish that the man was NON conpos
n,entus and the jury so found in this YER
dict:
We, the jury, in the above entitled in
Quiry, find hat the said Larkins, whose
first name is William, is a person of I'M
sound mind; we futher find that he is in
INDECENT circumstances, and without any
financial means. We recommend that he

HAMIL AND MISS BRIDGES.
The High Old Time Which Led to the
Barton Scandal

OGDENsBURG, N. Y, August 1+-[Special
to The BEE. lit has been reported here for
few days past that Mrs. X. G. Barton,
erstwhile Miss Fannie Bridges, is making
preparations for brief sojourn In the south.
The young lady has remained close at home
since her ignominious return from what was
to have been her bridal trip, and has re-
ceived but few intimate friends. Her condi-
tion, however, is known 10 a few, and in
order to avoid further publicity and disgrace
her aunt, Mrs. Smith, decided to take her
away. Young Hamil still remains at his
fathers home in Utica.
There have been so many conflicting re-
ports concerning this affair that your cor
respondent deems it proper to present re-
sumo of the matter as it actually happened.
George Hamil, IL appears, arrived in Og-
densburg about two months prior to Miss
Bridges return from Omaha last winter and
established himself in the laundry business.
Soon afterwards he was taken sick, and
being related TO Mrs. Smith, applied to her
for room and that care and attention neces.
Sary during an illness. Mrs. Smith kindly
accorded the required assistance, and upon
the return of Miss Bridges from the west
the young man had taken up his abode at the
house. About this time Mrs Smith was
called to New York, and during ner absence
HaMiPs nurse was dismissed and Miss
Bridges took upon herself the functions of
that position. 1t was during this period that
the familiarity which led 10 Miss Bridges
disgrace occurred. In the words of young
Hamil to a friend they had "a high old timer
until Mrs. Smiths return.
Among Hamlps acquaintances was young

An exciting time had been promised by
Commissioner Anderson, and the reality
fully equalled the expectation when
O'Keeffe and the white bearded prophet
locked horns over a finance committee re-
port. 1t was all about assessors bills. Four
weeks ago these officials sent in bills for
their work. They were considered in com
mittee of the whole and were regarded as
excessive. Accordingly part of each was
rejected and the matter finally settled, II
was thought. But at the last meeting these
same rejected bills were again fled and
were referred TO the finance committee.
This committee reported yesterday. Mr..
O'Keeffe was angry because the matter had
been recalled, and assaulted Anderson in
language that bristled with adjectiyes OF
| doubtful import. Finally the matter was
recommitted TO the committee OF the whole.
Another row arose over a second bill OF

| committee on charity reported against al
| Millard. 1t was offered again at a recent

matter should be referred To the charity

that an injustice had been done, and IL was

lawyer named Stone, and the two soon be-
came fast friends. In burst of confidence
Hamil related his adventures with the girl
and also told of her engagement to young
Barton. The lawyer suggested they might
make lot of money out of 1T, and after con-
ferring with the girl the plan to get away
with Barton was agreed upon. 1t was ar
ranged to satisfy Miss Bridges, who was in
love with Hamil, that they were to marry
after procuring the divorce from Barton.
rhe young man has since boasted that he
never intended to marry her and that he
cared nothing for her.
The plot and Its failure have been re-
counted. When the time came for the three
conspirators to meet at Montreal to lead Bar
ton astray Stone was on hand to 90 his part,
but Hamil weakened and STAYED at home.
When Stone saw the turn things had taken he
left the young couple and returned to Ogdens-
burg. Concluding to make some money out
OF il any way. he went back on his friends
and sold the letters from Miss Bridges to her
lover, and which had been conided to his
care, to the elder Barton,s lawyer a Mr.
Thomas Smatt. The whole business was
thereupon given away through the perhdy
of Stone.
Stone has bad record here, having been
convicted of completely in a large opium
smuggling TRANSACTION which occurred
a young lady of this place be-
came infatuated with him and wanted to
marry him. She had recently been left $50 900
by relative. and 1T is said that Stone,
through his influence over her, has possessed
himself of at least half of this sum, and is in
a fair way to get the balance if some one
does not post the foolish young lady on his
| character. 1t is declared he does not in tend
| to marry her.
Mrs. Smith, who by the way is the widow
| of Colonel Simon Smith, late paymaster of
the regular army and who was stationed for
| a long time at Omaha, mortgaged her home
| here in order to supply Miss Bridges with a
| suitable wedding outfit. When the young
| lady received the 81 600 from Barton for the
return of the diamond necklace presented by
| the parents of the groom, she was good
enough to turn the money over to her aunt,
| who at once lifted the mortgage.
When the first report was receive; here of
| the affair party of young men net and re-
| solved to tar and feather young Hamrl. The
