''the Ironclad" and Re-

That Nicholas Kill is either con-
firmed lunatic OF an astute and methodi-
cal actor in the insanity line was the
opinion expressed in Judge Briii's
court yesterday. AS to which class he
belongs was puZzling question to the
court and attorneys who were present.
The prisoner absolutely declined to en-
gage any attorney or consent that the
court should appoint counsel to defend
him on an Indictment for the murder of
Jacob Kohn some three years ago. The
facts surrounding the horrible crime of
which Kill stands indicted are fresh in
the memories of many st. Paul
citizens. He became an inmate
OF the Kohn home, near Lake
Como, and was seen. the day after the
murder of Kohn, going along Como
avenue with his trunk in wheelbar-
row, and wearing the boots and cloth
ing of the dead man. He vas tried. as
to his sanity, by jury and adiudged to
be lunatic on February 8. 1888. He
was taken to the Rochester insane
asylum. from whence he was dis
charged few months ago. having been
pronounced sane. He was brought
lpto cout yesterday for the purpose of
having Ounsei assigned to defend him.
He had 4 strange look about his bright
piercins eyes ai.d said, he had no at
torney, Il! response to an inquiry by
Judge H..il. He made this statement
in English but turned to bailiff and
spoke III German. Judge Brill then
spoke to him through all interpreter.
and elected the information that he
had no attorney and did NOT
know what he wanted with
one as he had Tot done
harm to any one. He was told that he
stood indicted for murder, and that the
state was ready to prove that he had
killed a man, and, that, if he had no
meanS to employ an attorney, the court
would appoint one to defend him. He
replied that he had no money and that
he thought he did not need a lawyer. He
persisted in his refusal to have any one
appointed to defend him. His actions
were puzzle to the court and others in
the room. Judge Brill remarked that
he would defer action for the present
and would consider what is best to be
done under the circumstances. The
case is without parallel in the history
of the county. and the court will have to
determine whether 1t has the authority,
under the law, to appoint counsel to de-
fend when the prisoner absolutely re-
fuses to consent to have an attorney ap-
pointed or t0engage one himself.
The question arises as to whether he
Should be again examined touching his
sanity or be put on trial on the charge
OF murder. 1t affords an opportunity
for medical experts to make an investi-
CATION as to the mental construction of
the man.

WaterOus rendered his resignation on

changes that should be made in the

was laid over. County auditor Tautges'
letter stated that the tax levy received
by him was not satisfactory, and anoth-

having been seen but short time before in
apparently good health. Willis Duncan. q
brother of the dead man, is employed
at Grifiin's place on East Seventh
street. He cannot explain the death
except in that it might have resulted from
heart disease. Deputy coroners Amoss and
Darling were summoned and after examin-
ing the remains aud surroundings decided to
hold ali inquest this morning. Near the bed
on which lay the body stood table and on
it a wine glass which had contained some
sort of liquid. A heavy sediment remained
in the bottom of the glass. II is possible
that death may have resulted from other
than natural causes Duncan is spoken of
by those who knew him as steady fellow
and temperate.

General 6cholfieid's Report

There Ia no more sensible suggestion
In the admirable report of Major General
Seheltield, Commander in-Chief of the
United States Army. than that which
advises the formation of battalion of
young men between the ages of sixteen
and twenty of good character and intel
iigeuce, with view to educating them
for ou-eommissioned officers, and
officers either of regular forces or
militia. Such plan, If promotion were
made to rest wholly upon merit, would
doubtless. be Of great value in securing
tirst-elass men for positions of respon-
sihility In the army organization.
At the same time we regret to
see in this report an entire absence of
any suggestion charging the chances of
private soldiers rising from the ranks
through force of merit. As matters
stand today the outlook for privates
who have an ambition to excel Is not
specially encouraging. With the grad
