The Case of Or. scudder.

CHICAGO, March 4.-Who drew up the
forged will is to- night the first question in
the Jekyll-Hyde case that is puzzling all
Chicago. But for the alleged discovery of
DR.. Scudder's surreptitious handling Of
the private papers of the rich woman he is
charged with having murdered, he might
never have been suspected of the crime.
The forged will is in the possession of At
torney Solmon, representing the rich
woman's husband and sister, The circum-
stances under which Scudder had it drawn,
II he did, will likely go far to prove or dis
prove his sanity and guilt. 1t seemingly
was prepared by lawyer, and the question
of the attorneys identity and possible
completely is being carfully brought
toward solution. 1t is said an expert to
whom the two wills were submitted before
DIR. Scudder's arrest, and who knew
nothing OF the circumstances in the case,
decided without hesitation that the two
documents were not signed by the same
person, one signature showing the tremor
incident to old age or feebleness, and the
other firmly written with forced attempts
at irregularity Of outline.
The case of DR.. NJ Scudder, ac-
cused Of the murder of his
mother-in-lsw, Mrs. Dunton, was called
Tor inquiry in the insane court and post
poned this morning for one week. A re-
porter who interviewed Scudder had the
impression he is shamming insanity.

Corbett,s Opinion of Fitzsimmons.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
PHILADELPHIA, March Aim Corbett
was asked by correspondent what he
thought of Fitzsimmons. He said: "He
has shown himself corking good man, and
il my opinion he is now justified in fighting
any of the heavy weights. While he fought
at 154 pounds he was not thought to be a
match for heavyweight, but since he
scaled 110 pounds against Maher he Dug hit
to fight heavy-weights. He is game, clever
and hard hitter, and would probably make
it warm for anyone"
In answer to question of whether he
would fight Fitzsimmons now, Corhett
said: at was and is my intention to go to
England in May to see the Slavin-Jackson
fight, and then at the ring side l will chal-
lenge the winner. But If Fitzsimmons
wants to fight me before then, let him
! challenge me and 1 will attend to him.

Office to guarantee my appearance in the
ring against either Slavin or Jackson, but l
| if he covers that forfeit will fight him be-
fore any club, outside of the California
Athletic club that offers the largest purse.
He would probably weigh about the same
as he did when he faced Maher, and
should 60 about $50 pounds, so that there
would not be much difference. I am willing
to fight Fitzsimmons before l go to Eng
| land. and then if L lick him, l will fight the
winner of the JaCkson-Slavin fight in the

The Field Insanity Inquiry.

NEW YORK, March 4.-Judge Van Grunt
created sensation in the Field insanity hear
ing this evening. The hearing had been pro-
ceeding quietly for seven days. AT 7:l5 this
evening Judge Van Grunt suddenly interrupted
the proceedings and said: ~ hen this trial
began, counsel promised II would consume out
five days and 1 have already sat here eight
days, and the prospects OF finishing this week
are meager indeed. Gentlemen OF the jury he
added, rising, you are discharged. For a
moment all was confusion. The Judge, with
much deliberation was putting his
overcoat while the jury seemed too
much surprised TO do anything but
SIT still and wonder. Then Mar. Cochran
walked over to District Attorney Niokoll and
remarked: We'll, I'll be damnedy' 80 VIII
l. remarked the district attorney. The Judge
lett the court, but was intercepted by counsel,
who, with many promises, induced HIM to re.
turn. He did 80, only TO adjourn court until
tomorrow. The case will probably be con-
cluded then. Judge Van Grunt's action is
almost unprecedented ana is accounted for by
the fact that the case having overrun the limit,
has compelled the judge TO sit up nights pre-
pairing for his general term WORK in The su-
preme court.
