SAYS A,rs. Foy Is not Insans.

CHICAGO, December 4.-One OF the
assistant attorneys for the prosecution
in the Coughlin case emphatically de-
MED to-day the statement that Mrs.
Foy is insane. Mrs. Foy is the woman
who has told a sensational story OF the
Cronin murder, alleged to have been
cleaned from her husband, who, she
claims, was one OF the conspirators.
The insanity report is ridiculous, "
said the attorney. "NO insane woman
ever told a story like that, But the de-
Tense will undoubtedly bring witnesses
TO testify thai the woman talked with
them and told other stories, and it will
come down to a question Of veracity for
the jury to decide"

When the Panama Canal was first

Ing that the elves OF millions OF

of water to even up the difference 10

nous Bell brothers, and the strength OF
the father, Richard Eachus, an English
man who ran away from college at Biz
mingham when he was eighteen to be-
come an athlete. They have, however,
profited by their own observation and
experience as each succeeding act
shows.
They all went on the stage as chill
dren and are said to think OF nothing
but their work, fact that the New
York chapples will do well to remem-
Der. Five or six years ago, while they
were in Buenos Ayres, they saw small
company Of acrobats perform several
simple feats in evening dress, and now
they can execute acts that would be
difficult TO do in tights.
For example: Louise plants herself
firmly and Richard or Pedro climbs on
her shoulder, while Emily swarms up
their backs as easily SIS II she were
climbing up a ladder. The column
sways a little, and quick as fash the
man somersaults forward from Louise's
shoulders, while Emily's feet
twinkle in the air "a she she goes over
in a backward somersault. This is done
with such neatness and dispatch that
Emily's feet don't seem to have been
resting on her brothers shoulders and

which she has been subjected any more

slopagos. Probably the trick is not
difficult, but il startles the FOUNDERS 10

shower and yet see so little Of it 10 a
descent OF ten feet and quick somer-
sault.
Emily is the one who generally tops
of acts OF this kind because she seems
to have fondness for aerial ATTITUDES.
The family, strange tn say, did not
favor her going on the stage. but when
ever she was missing from home she
was sure to be found in a gymnasium
cliuging to trapeze at the top Of the
building. But all are trained TO do
