GAVE AWAY A FORTUNE.
A Review in Chancery To-
day of the Peculiar
Palmer LunaCY Case.


The testimony in the lunacy case OF
Henry H. Palmer, of New Brunswick,
formerly President of the Savings lnsti-
tution of New Brunswick and of the New
Brunswick Insurance Company. was re-
viewed before Chancellor McGill in Cham
Gerry Chambers today. The hearing was
on an objection of Palmer's lawyers to
the confirmation Of the report OF the
Commission, which found Palmer to be q
lunatic.
HOW IT WENT.
Mr.. Palmer was the first to arrive at
Chancery Chambers this morning. and
sat with his counsel. ex-Mayor Gil bert h.
Collins, and Mr.. Cook OF New Bruins
wick. Ex-Judge William I. Hoffman
and Charles T. Herbert OF New Bruns-
wick appeared for the petitioner, Joseph
r. Palmer, the alleged lunaUic's brother
Much of the testimony is unprintable
in q newspaper. 1t shows that since 1887
Henry H. Palmer has given away $780,
600, OF which $4,000 went to Fred Bar
low, now of Chicago, young man whose
father is a respectable professional man
in this city the rest of the S325.O0O
went to boys,
Henry H. Palmer is seventy-eight
years old, but he is erect, walks with ap-
parent yigor and looks much younger.
His broadcloth clothes, high hat and
dignified demeanor give him minis
terial appearance.

A NEGRO LYNCHED.
Taken from Jail and Hanged to a
Telegraph Pole.

DECATUR, ILL.,, June 8. s93-Samuel
Bush, the negro charged with having
assaulted Mrs. Hub Dill near here last
day, was lynched by mob Of two hum
dred men at 3:07 this morning near Zion.
A guard of twelve men had been put
in the Jail, and an extra force OF men
were put on duty ouside. About 300
curious people stood around the jail all
night, though most of them thought that
no serious attempt would be made to take
the prisoners ont. At Just two o'clock,
twenty-five men came on rush up Wood
street. They were quiet. without masks,
aud moved in solid body.
They forced their way through
the crowd land knocked on the Jail door.
Sheriff Midkiff and Special Officer Foster
sat just inside ana refused them admis-
sion. One blow from sledge crashed in
the wooden door, aud the two officers
were surrounded by Twenty-Five armed
men. The keys OF the jail were demandeds
but both officers declared that theY did
not have them. The men then went
to WORK with sledge hammers and chfseis
on the outside door. 1t was OF solid cast
iron an inch thick. Twenty minutes
elapsed before it was forced. Meanwhile
the crowd of Decatur people stood quiet.
ly outside. NO one seemed TO care mucn.
There was no resistance aud the officers
were not upbraided for making no more
objection. Marshal Mason forced his way
through the spectators and into the jail
aud started to address the man aJ work.
They seized him aud crowded him out of
the door. Someone gave him hard kick
in the stomach. When the first door was
opened another one OF the steel
bars held them another twenty
minutes There was only an occasional
yell, and altogether it was quiet att ack
on Jail The next bars across the COR
ridor were forced, and with them Il lock
that opened all the cells. A frightened
negro inside pointed out Bush's cell.
Three men rushed in and found it
apparently empty. They ierked over
the mattress, ana lifted it up and
out bumbed the negro. He had crawled
inside All day yesterday Bush shook
with fear. Now he seemed cooler than at
any time before. "Gentlemen, you are
killing an innocent man." he said. He
was dragged into thesjail Office. So many
men stood around that it took five
minutes to pull him through the crowd
to the street. All this time Bush said
nothing, but the crowd yelled excitedly.
News of the attack on the jail seemed to
have spread over the town aud 6fteen
hundred people were there. In
front of the jail is telegraph
pole. A drive towards that
was made, but the lynchers finally went
to one about 900 yards away, one Of the
most prominent corners in the city and
directly in front OF the court house, and
there strung him up.
