DEEMING'S TRIAL.
He is J0cular and Insolent Dur
ing the Proceedings.
His Portrait Recognized by London Woman
The Murderer Has Really Valuable
Collection of Weapons.

MELBOURNE, April although the
jury returned verdict of wilful murder
against Deeming, he has not altered his
demeanor and is jocular and insoent at
times. Every day additional evidence re-
| celved shows the man is entirely devoid of
conscience. although his bravery is cues
toned as his victims were women and
children.
During the inquest yesterday the coroner
read note signed Lille" The writer
said the coroner must treat Deeminp with
greater inpartiallty if he did not get ius-
tlce the writer would take the coroner's
| LIE In open court. The letter is supposed
10 nave been written by a crank, or to be q
hoax. IL spite of his sembiance of ease.
Deeming in periods of abstraction is visibly
| haggard. He has lost flesh and his features
are becoming pointed. The Jail wards keep
close watch upon him all the time for IL X
believed he will xiii himself if he GETS
chance. He studiously paid no attention
10 the evidence except at times when he
laughed at certain statements that were
made. The newspaper reporters were
ouslly preparing verbatim reports OF the
proceedings and the reporter of the Asso-
clated Press who was present with the
correspondents of other press associations
prepared his cable messages in the court
room. After time Deeming noticed the
messengers Of the cable company passing
ana repasslng and asked: ''What have
people abroad got to do with murder com
mitted here!'
When Miss bonneville, his Sidney
lance went to the table to sign her testi-
mony, Deeming called to her saving:
Katie, come TO me,'' Miss Rounzeyille
PAID not the slightest attention to him.
In nearly every place that Deeming has
been he has shown really valuable collec
Ton OF weapons OF various types. At the
inquest, he produced battle ak and 9
knife which Sergeant Mullins said he
thought might have inflicted the wounds
that killed Mrs. Deeming
In an interview which he had with his
solicitor, Deeming supplied Mr.. Lyle with
abundant material for his defense at the
coming trial. The facts which he gave
dated from the time of his birth and in
cluded much information regarding his in
fancy. During his conversation with The
solicitor, the prisoner remarked. 1.-THE
world produces moral as well as physical
monstrositiesn
The line of defense which will be adopted
at the trial is probably that Deeminp,s
nature received malignant impress prior
TO his birth which has marked all his ar
tlons during his life and has left him ment-
ally incapable Of overcoming the homicidal
impulses with which he has been afflicted
IL fact that he was what the prisoner him
sell had described as ''moral montrositv. y

guilty Of numbering his wife his trial vas

In the Senate.

! WASHINGTON, April 7.-After routine
morning business, resolution was offered
by Teller and agreed to, calling on the
secretary OF the treasury for statement
as to the amount of silver offered to the
government each month since the passage
OF the bill July a. $780, by whom, and at
what price; the amount of silver bullion
purchased each month OF that time, from
whom and at what price. and the number
of days given sellers in which to deliver
silver.
The Senate proceeded to the considera-
ton of the bill making an appropriation for
the expenses of the government in the Dis
trict of Columbia. While the bill was
under consideration Stewart made a per-
sonal explanation on the subject of the
article in yesterdays New York Euening
Post containing list of mortgages made TO
him In Alameda, Cal, wherein there was
an obligation that payment should be in
gold coin. These mortgages, he said, re-
suited from sales of property at auction
| through firm of brokers in San Francisco
The mortgages, he presumed, were drawn
up in the usual blanks which contained an
obligation 10 pay in gold. He had never
seen them but had no doubt that that was
as the Pacific contract law passed in 1868
which was still in force there, and under
which gold is the standard, and had been
maintained during the war.
Mr.. Hale hoped that the Senator would
sec to 1t that no such thing should take
place in future.
Mr.. Stewart promised to do so and added
he would be glad to be paid in any kind of
money. He had always been opposed to
the Pacific contract law. which, he thought
had operated to the great detriment of the
Pacific coast. He repeated that the brokers
had drawn up mortgages in the usual wav
and he was not responsible for that.
Mr. McMlllin offered an amendment to the
District bill, appropriating SIS 1000 for the
reception and entertainment of the next
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic in Washington, one-half the
amount to be paid from the treasury and
the other half from the revenues of the
District of Columbia, providing no part of
the amount shall be available until Sc, 900
shall have been raised By popular subscrip-
ton and expended.
Mr.. Mcmillan offered (for himself) a
substitute, appropriating 100000 for the
same purpose. Mr.. Harris and Mr.. Vest
opposed the appropriation. After some de-
bate, the matter went over without action.
after MIR. Hawley had given notice of an
amendment placing the expenditure under
the control of the secretary of war.
During the discussion, the bill to MACE
wool on the free list and to reduce the
duty on wooden goods was received from
the House, and after the District bill was
laid aside the wool bill was laid before the
Senate by the Vice President and referred
to the finance committee. The Senate.
after short executive session, adjourned.
