A MUSICAL MURDERER.
4. Physicians Bright Ide for Prov
 ing His Sanity.

He was the most interesting mur- 1 dercr ever met. Before the crime he was private in my company and squad, and even the captain thoue Int him an excellent trooper During his 1 confinement in the post guardhouse, | which lasted over month. his notions were those of acnte mania, so that the officer of the guard did not enter his cell and the cooks police fed him by means of a chute from above, about the base of which the food had now l accumulated. for he would go for days at time without eating.
 He was as restless as a hyena and | paced his cell with monotony of movement almost hypnotic to one watching him through the iron bars of his cage. When sergeant of the guard would lie on my bunk and look through the small, iron latticed win dow in the center of the door that opened into the prison room and see him in his cell, where the view of his legs and feet was cut off by the lintcl of the window. Dimly through its iron meshes l would watch the slow, regular movements of his body as it passed from end to end of his cage. like a huge pendulum, beating in dea tn strokes the time which elapsed until it must swing into eternity In spite of the horrors which it suggested, this vision fascinated my attention and if watched for long seldom failed to pro- dnce sleep for the prisoner kept con. stantly grooming the insistent meas ures of Mexican waltz
 All through the sultry night the sen try on number one could hear the sharp click of his steps on the concrete floor Of his cell, beating regular aecompani- ment to the accented notes of this re- current strain. Before trial Davis, our surgeon, was ordered to examine the prisoner's sanity, and went with him. He was still pacing his cell and slowly humming Sabre las olas. '
 It was during this very waltz, played by the Mexican orchestra the night of the "baile.a that he had brutally butchered Corporal Jenkins with bowie knife, so it struck me as appro- priate that this same air should now be a monomania in his madness and control his brain. As he paced his cell he was beating time to the swing of the waltz with pencil by way of baton. Davis asked the officer of the guard to have the prisoner brought into the general prison room, but the latter replied that the man was raving mad and that it was folly to think of letting him from his cell or of sending men to enter it. Davis then asked for the key, quietly unlocked the cage and opened it. As he did so the prisoner wheeled in his promenade and sprang toward him. Davis stepped quickly aside and struck him a half blow be- hind the ear which felled him. Then ...l, z. ....i...l l., s... H. =

was impressed with the clear state ment Davis made on what seemed to be a critical case. Lieut.. --, officer of the guard. was alse struck by it, for he asked if he should send the prisoner into hospital. No, replied Davis, keep him confined in his cell, and without being observed watch him closely about eleven o'clock for the completing symptoms You can report to me at sick call in the morn ing" Then he replaced Henderson in his cell, who at once took up his musical promenade.
