SlQto On LuC w dbAo 4loCig CiSutCQ 0ANOI-
sim for a big crowd of people who at
tended the examination made by Judge
Ellsworth and the Commissioners of Lu-
macy yesterday in Judge Ogden's court
room.
McHenry had been arrested at the insti-
CATION of his wife, who made charge of
insanity against her husband. His case
was called up on Thursday last, but Nc
Henry told so plausible story of his
wife's relations with other men and men,
toned so many worthy people of The
neigh borhood as having been witness to
the affairs charged that Judge Ellsworth
thought he would investigate further and
accordingly the matter was put over until
the following day. and yesterday McHenry
was on hand with Attorney Donovan.
Among others included in McHenry's
charges was Detective Downey, saloon
keeper named Cruz. Louis May and sew
eral more.
The detective was on hand to testify.
He said that four years ago. when patrol
ling his beat on the Watts Tract, he was
frequently called upon by Mrs. McHenry
and the children, at any and all hours, TO
queil disturbances in the house made by
McHenry during his sDreeS.
He said he had neither seen nor heard of
the family since. McHenry's young
daughter. a bright-looking young woman,
cOrroO0rated the detectives testimony,
and said that her father WAS drinking very
heavily in those days and that on several
occasions she had to 60 out and bring in
the officers.
McHenry, when taxed yesterday to re-
peat bis story, said he supposed his wife
was guilty because he had seen her talk
ing to DOwney in the hallway.
A neighbor, Mrs. Durrell, said that Mr..
Nc Henry was very cruel to his family,
and that on many occasions he had run
them out of doors in their nightclothes.
Frank Perry, Louis May, Charles
Dougberty, Robert Mulhollsnd, C. Nichols
and John Williams we're examined and 1t
was found that McHenry was suspicious
of all of them, although some Of them die
not even know Mrs. McHenry.
1t developed that McHenry had threat
ened to kill any man that came TO his
house and his wife also. and that he had
pistol for this purpose, so Judge Els
worth and the Commissioners thought him
too dangerous TO be at large, and accord
iDgiy committed him to the Stockton Asy-
lum for the Insane.
His wife and daughter both pleaded with
tears in their eyes that he be given one
more chance at home, but he will be taken
to Stockton this evening.
One for Peace and One for War.
