tenced for life 20 the new prison here
IN Marquette. The defense viii move
Tor } new trial.
Or. wm. Wood has just returned
from Marquette, where he has soen in
attendance on the above case to give
testimony as an expert. The uac0m-
mon, but by no means unique plea ol
somnambulism Was set up Icy the de-
Tense.
Mcdonald, Who IS q single man, and
two men with wives, were homeSteaders
in the Northern Peninsula, and for
convenience sake all lived together in a
log house, parutiOned OF into rooms.
They had lived thus amlcably tor three
years. one night some time ago, one
OF the men was awakened by the sound
of a gun fire, and rushing from AZ bed,
saw Mcdonald recklessly firing VIM
chester rife. lie grappled with him,
and after ii struggle, got the weapon.
During the struggle the man had eN-
postulated with and talked with Nc
Donald. but the latter never uttered an
intellcIble word. At the close OF the
struggle, Mcdonald sank into seat
and then, for the first time, gave utter
ance 20 an intelligent remark. He ex-
claimed: MY God, I've had fearful
dream"
lie did not appear TO know that he
had done anything out of the common
rununtll an investigation revealed that
all four Of the other inmates had been
wounded, and one of the women fatally
80. She died five days afterwards, and
it was her death for when Mcdonald
was tried, convicted and sentenced 70
States prison for life.
Every effort was made on the trial 10
adduce some motive for the deed, but
without success. They had lived to-
gether as friends, without a quarrel,
for three years, and the attempt 10 find
motive had to be dropped. Mcdonald
did not deny the shooting. nor did he
affirm it. He simply said he knew
nothing about il. Eor did he make the
slightest effort to escape when lie could
easily have done so.
DR.. Wood gave his opinion as an
expert, that the man was morally not
guilty. That, in his opinion, he had
acted throughout III state of somnam-
bulsm, and that while such cases were
rare. that they had been known and
recognized in medical and legal iurls-
prudence. In spite of this, this unfOr-
tunate man was convicted. Should his
second trial (an effort for which is now
being made result as disastrously as
this, il would seem as if executive
acumen and clemency would have an
excellent field for exercise.
Mcdonald IS described as of fine ap-
pcarance, but of the sanguine nervous
temperament that almost invariably
accompanies such dlsordered mental
condition.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-State Depart ment officials profess utter ignorance of any intention on the part of the Pope to send a Nuncio to this country as the representative of the Vatican.
 Assistant Secretary Wharton said to- day that he knew nothing about the matter, but he thought it was not likely that Nuncio would como.
 MT. Walker Blaine, when asked about it. said: We have, of course, never recognized the Pope as temporal ruler. and have never sent him any envoy. Our Minister to that region has been accredited to the Italian Government, and if there has ever been any occasion for communicating with the Vatican it has been through the Minister. I do not think that Papal representative has ever been sent to this country. It is grave question whether or not one would be received if he came, a question that would have to be discussed over at the White House, and I have not the slightest idea how it would be decided do not believe in the rumor."
