SAY SIZE IS INSANE

Passed Upon Guiteau's Case--The state
VIII Attempt to Rebut the Testi-
mony of the Experts To-day.
MEMPHIS Tenn, July 27.-The State
was knocked out" yesterday by the tes
timony of experts in the Alice Mitchell
case. The first witness, DIR. Sale, Presi-
dent of the Mississippi Medical Associa-
tion, testified that he had examined Miss
Mitchell no longer ago than last Sunday,
and from his conversation with and obser
walton of the subject he thought she was
insane.
DR.. J. II Calender, OF Nashville, Medi
cal Superintendent of the Central Insane
ASYLUM. and holder of the chair of Physi-
ology and Brain Diseases in the Wander
bilt University, was the next to take the
stand As Dr. Calender was one of the
physicians who acted as medical experts
in the Guiteau case his testimony was
eagerly listened to by all of the lawyers
and jurynen.
He said that insanity might not be in
herited. but the insane temperament
could be passed from mother to child or
| from father to child This temperament
is more likely to be inherited from the
mother than the father. The first fact
that impressed him in a contemplation of
this case was that Alice probably inherit
ed her insane temperament from her
mother Being of an insane netemperament
it is not surprising that on meeting Freda
the love she had for Freda developed into
an ardent passion.
He then stated that he thought she was
insane, but indicated how she might b'
cured. The witness thought she was ;
subject for medical treatment in SOM
asylum.
Dr. Campbell, superintendent Of thu
Eastern Asylum for the Insane at Knox
vile, had been summoned by the State
but he was placed on the stand by the de
fense, and he gave it out freely that b
thought Alice was insane. Here the de
fense rested.
To-day the State begins the task of at
tempting to counteract the expert testi
mony, but the opinion prevails that tn
case is already won by the lawyers for th
defense.

Men In the LIN Prisoners.

PITTsBURe, July 27.-James Hadley, a
roller, and two engineers named Elliott
and Rook, say they were brought here
from Philadelphia last Friday to work in
the Homestead mills, under false repre-
sentations. They were told the trouble at
Homestead was over, and that most of the
old workmen had gone back to work.
When they got TO the mills they discov-
cred things were anything but lovely, and
that they were in fact prisoners. They
found there from $50 to 300 men, many of
them negroes and Hungarians. In the
room they slept in the first night 100 meh
were quartered. The food was abundant,
and there would have been no fault had
they not found the Homestead men were
on strike Nothing is being done at the
mill except making repairs.

Lenzing was the name Of the place
where we sought refuge, made up en-
tirely of the farm belonging to a pros
porous peasant He welcomed us when
we had dragged our boats beyond the
reach of the savage waves, and took us
into his big dwelling-room, which was
like baronial hall Here was space
for Atty people to sit and feast or have
IA romp Substantial rafters made the
ceiling; the tables and benches were OF
wood well scrubbed. He offered us
beer, and then his wife gave us bowls
lof milk fresh from the COW and strong
country bread, all the while entertain-
ing us as invited guests While the
storm ragged we inspected the premises
with great interest, for one roof covered
dwelling-house for cows and horses as
well as family and servants The ante-
room outside of the main dwelling
'hall" opened on one side of the kitch-
en-, above to the bedrooms, on the right
to our "hall," and on the left to the
stables. But let us hasten to add that
cows and horses were cleanliness itself,
that every part of their quarters indi-
Gated scrupulous neatness, from the
round little windows to the extreme
recesses of the vaulted ceiling The roof
was supported by stone columns that
would have graoed monastery.
Their eating and drinking troughs
were of stone; their wants were minis-
tered to by two as dainty and graceful
maidens as ever figured in a pastoral
and such was the behavior of these
animals that no well-regulated house,
keeper could have objected to them as
fellow lodgers The veranda that
passed the dining hall continued past
the stables, wherein were about dozen
horses and twice as many COWS The
manure was shovelled across this walk
and stacked up Immediately near 1t
and yet this veranda was the agreeable
gathering place of warm evening.
AS we chatted, two colts, a few weeks
old, walked up and about us, nibbled
at our trousers and fingers, rubbed
their noses affect tionately against each
of us in turn, and played with the big
watch dog as happily as if all three
were pups in the same litter. Will
such evidence of kind treatment is 1t d
wonder that their live stock is gentle
and willing9
We asked our host if he found no i'll
effects from so much manure beneath
his window, and he assured US that ht
considered it wholesome. He certainly
appeared healthy, and his household a:
well--radiant with prosperity and gooC
spirits, generous with his substance; {
good illustration of the Straubing peas
ant as described by the learned profes
sor half century ago. He would re
ceive nothing himself for our entertain
ment, but finally accepted contribu
tion for the poor. = Poultney Bigelow
