How n Witness Know That Prisoner Was
Sane.


Sane.
BROOKLYN, Feb. S.-A curious case
came up to-day before Judge Dykman.
Allen Cunningham, youth of studious
habits and a college graduate, was
some time ago sent to DR.. Wiltses' in
sane asylum on Long Island by his
mother and stepfather. named Desper-
att, OF No. 81 West Fifty-third street,
Brooklyn.
The grounds on which they had him
committed were because he wore long
hair, refused to wear collar button,
smoked cigarettes, slammed doors,
played poker and staid out all night at
times. He was pronounced insane by
Or. Allan Fitch, who pr ,nounced Nellie
Bly, insane when she got committed to
an asylum to expose it. The real rea-
son for having young Cunning ham in
carcerated was incompatability with his
step father.
During the examination Judge Dyk.
man asked Cunnighams room mate,
who was the only witness, what he
thought OF Cunningham's sanity.
VI know he is sane. He played poker
too we'll for an insane man." answered
the witness.
Judge-"Did he know a full hand
from fiush?"
Witness-"He did indeed"
Judge-"How do you know"
Witness-"I called him"
Judge-"The prisoner is discharged"

Memphis, Tenn, says that 1000 people
in Concordiana and Cataraoula parishes.

pitiable condition, and unless relief Is
given them at onco many will perish.
Tho floods OF last summer DESTROYED
their crops and the water remained SO
long that it was not possible to plant
corn or anything else beyond soue
quickly maturing vegetables. Hence
hundreds moved, but thousands were
unable to leave.
Those remaining have subsisted dur

they have nothing to keep body and

organization to raise funds for the suf-
ferers. Tho Now Orleans board of
