Mtnick Convtnces tile Court That He knows
Too Much to De q Crazy Man.
The sensational commitment case of w.
j. j. Minick to Dixmont as an insane pa
tient came up in Pittsburgg, Pa, when the
pseudo patient appeared before Judge
White and was asked to prove his standing
as q sane a Minick was committed at
the instance of his wife, and upon the
statement OF two reputable physicians as
being dangerously insane, hut the ALL
powerful haoess corpus produced him in
court. Mrs. Minick was the first witpess
against her husband. and charged him with
a category of ills, from me~lapcholis to in-
fidelity. She confessed, however, that
she had once given birth to an illegitimate
child. The daughter was then called, and
among Minick's peculiarities she said he
had a penchant for cooking his own meals.
Judge White turned q scathing fire of
cross-examination upon both the women
and upon Drs. Sandels and McCord, who
committed the man. He also scored what
he called the general practice of physicians
to commit q man upon hearsay evidence,
and was especially severe in this case. as
the man was thrown into an asylum be-
cause he was, as the doctors said, a mouo-
maniac. When asked upon what subject
9 was ma d, they said. martial infidelity.'
Minick was then called to the stand, and
in n very quiet manner upset the entire
case of the prosecution. Ho made one re-
mark that they had been married some
twenty-three years and his wife had been
un:aithful to him at intervals. Minick
then brought several names into the dis.
c%ussion, among them a prominent Minis
ter, and offered to bring witnesses, but the
court said that they were not needed, and
p~eremptorily ordered the mans release.
The court room was jammed to sutfoca-
ton. aud the liberated man was nearly
carried away by q rush of friends. Not
withstanding the acquittal. public opinion
is divided.

The first conference between the heads

the smelters from the lead trust. Various
ways Of organization were discussed, but
nothing definite was determined on at that
meeting. Guy Barton, of Omaha, was
elected president and NJ. Geist, of Pueblo,
secretary. 1t was shown that the trust
would make a profit annually Of about
