Answer-Yes.
Q. Might it not exist in this case at
this time and you not know it?
A. No.
DIR. Ancker further stated that he had
made very thorough examination;
that the prisoner had shown a great deal
OF discretion and memory about the
past. and that there was nothing to lead
him to believe the prisoner had ever
been subject to epilepsy.
Judge Kerr then asked the doctor if
the effects of epilepsy allowed man to
plan an Otfense.
The momentous reply came: mo;

The crowd, especially in the gallery,
made quite disturbance at this point,
trying to get better view of the pris-

ordered the deputy sheriffs to preserve
order, and then, in clear voice, read
the following remarks pefore passing

Judge Kerr's remarks.

In view of the evidence adduced and

Under the penal code of this state
the penalty for murder in the first de-

such case, the court shall certify of

The Wheels Move, Including an N.

When the time came around for the
passenger trains to 60 out to Chicago
and other points last night a tremen-
dous crowd surged through the union
depot. 1t was evident that the people
expected scene. Officer Call, Lieut..
Bahe, otherwise known as "Big Hem

large policemen circulated rapidly back
and forth through the crowd. Their
blue coats and brass buttons commanded
respect. And still the crowd increased
in numbers. until hardly an inch of the
several platforms but that was covered
with restless human beings. Every one
was in state of suppressed excite
ment except the Ones who it would
seem should be most excited. The an
nouncement made by the general man
ager of the Northern Pacific that his
company would move out a train for
Fargo at all hazards was what specially
interested the crowd. When the ex-
cited throng had seen the Omaha's
Chicago train, with its full complement
of Pullmans, thunder out in safety,
with no attempt at interruption
the word flew from mouth to mouth
that the Northern Pacific's Fargo train
was backing into the sheds. In all ill.,
slant all turned. There was a general
hurry-scurry to get to the train. There
it stood, surely enough-engine, tender,
baggage car, three coaches, three sleep
ers, all Pullmans, and one express car.
About the engine, as 1t stood there.

steed, as though anxious to start, impa-

away. About Deputy Marshal Shortail

though Uncle Sam was in earnest. 1t
was about 7:55 when this train backed
in. This train had been made up for
some time III the yards near the Missis-
sippi street crossing. Pretty soon Mr..
Hickey. the company's superintendent
of motive power, appeared, and soon
after climbed into the engineers cab.
Then Officer Casserly. of the central

A committee OF three from the AR.

sengers who were crowded togetherin
a car in destitute circumstances. The
assistant superintendent. Lars Owrie,
notified Mayor Eustls of the circum-
stance, it being beyond the province of
the poor department to do anything in
the premises. The mayor ordered the
city's storeroom on Second street to be
got in readiness, and sent the central
precinct patrol wagon to the yards,
between Sixth and Seventh avenues
and First and Second streets, where the
''hung-up" train is located. g
The officers found party of fourteen
camped in one car. There were two
men, and the remainder women and
children. They were passengers en-
route for Montana ard Washington' and

When the patrol wagon arrived. the
inmates of the car expressed themselves
as being decidedly against having the
city care for them. They were not in
need of the necessaries of life, far the
local A. r. U. members had volunteered
to take care of them. They were crate
full to the mayor for extending the in
vitation, but preferred remaining in this
car. One of the male passengers said

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
What the Day Brought Forth on
This Line.

To judge by the action of the clerical
force at the Northern Pacific general
offices, the casual observer would not
imagine that that road was III any kind
of trouble. Everything was moving like
clockwork. The general air of quiet in
the yards and at the shops at Como
would lead to far different conclusion.
The graveyard-like still ness of the
yards was broken. however, later on in
the early evening, when the train tor
Fargo, due to leave at 8 o'clock. but
which the company decided to send out
at $40 o'clock, was made up. General
Manager Kendrick frankly admitted
that the company had not attempted to
make any move but this through the day
in getting out trains. This train, he
said, would 20 to Winnipeg via Fargo.
He said that the policy advocated by
Receiver Payne-not to try to move
trains until the Pullman trouble was
out of the way-was directly in line
with what the con- pany was endeavor-
ing to do. and said very decidedly that
the Northern Pacific would try to oper-
ate trains as rapidly as circumstances
would permit. He said that the Fargo
train would carry out a sufficiant num-
Der OF United States deputy marshals to
insure its being operated.
There is evidently no lack of men
who desire to help the Norths rn Pacific
out of its dilemma. A steady throng
filed through the halls and into General
Superintendent Kinberly's all through
the day, applying for work. Many of
these were practical operatives. None
were hired, nor were any promises of
employment given, although some of
the applications were fled. The con.-
pany leans to the belief tnat the greater
portion of its employees are faithful. 1t
has always had this liberal policy. The
announcement made by Its engineers in
the mass meeting at Tacoma Thursday
night deploring the strike, and which.
as unanimous body. pronounced the
Pullman strike rank injustice to
the company, because of it's proprietary
interest in the Pullman cars, is signifi.
cant. 1t tends to prove that the COM
panY has not entirely misplaced its con-
hdence. Under the order of the United
States court in the case of the Santa Fe,
road also in receivers hands, all en-
ployes who forsake their positions are
out for good. They can not resume
their places when the trouble is over.
This same rule applies to the Northern
Pacific. The more intelligent and con-
servatiye employees will heed this. They
will not take step that will deprive
them of the means of bread.getting.

JUSTICE At LAST.
To Be Hanged by the Neck
Until They Are Dead.

day.

When the Fateful Doom Was
Told Them.
IF THEY ARE HUNG

ecution in "a Years.
THREE MONTHS MORE OF LIFE.

"Hanged by the neck until you are
dead"
With these words ringing In their ears
first Otto Wonigkeit. alias Milhausen,
and then Charles Ermlsch were re-
moved from Judge Kerr's court yester-
day morning.
Thirty minutes before the usual time,
10 O'Clock, the criminal court was called
to order. Even though it was not gen.
orally known that the session was to
commence at that hour, every place of
vantage was occupied. Deputies were
stationed in all parts of the room to pre-.
serve quiet, although fearful anticipa-
ton kept the crowd Id better than usual
order.
1t was little before half-past when
the two murderous boys were brought
in and took their seats by the railing
separating the court room proper from
the onlookers. OF the two, Ermisch ap-
peared to appreciate the impending
danger more than did his partner in
crime. Possibly Wonigkeit was buoyod
up by the hope that.since he had plead
ed guilty and turned states evidence,
Judge Kerr might impose the lighter
sentence of Imprisonment for life in his
case.
Following up his tactics of Thursday
afternoon, F. E. Encell, Wonigkeit's
attorney, had his client called to the
witness stand.
MI. Encelf has labored day and night
FOR the past two months trying to, find
one point in defense of crime abso-
lutely without the slightest extenuatlng
circumstances. This was the last hope.
Every expedient known to the law had
been tried and had failed. and now, as
last resort, the low order of Wonig-
keit's mind and. several other ailments.
such as delirlum tremens, dipsomania
and epilepsy, were called in play.
When questioned by Judge Kerr
Wonigkeit said that he had been sent
to the reformatory at st. Cloud some
time during the latter part of 1892. The
offense had beenlburglary. and he was
discharged as being reformed on the
18th or 10th of April. Before he killed
Lindhoff and after his release from st.
Cloud, he had committed i've or six
crimes, one of them hold-up
on the Hudson road. About three
years ago he commenced his life
of crime. embracing almost anything
from stealing to murder. In Germany
he went to school for three years and in
this country for two years more. He has
no trade or occupation, but has worked
in saw mills, box factories and saloons.
Besides his mother, own sister, and
several half-brothers and sisters, Won
igkeit SAID he had an uncle living In
Michigan.
County Attorney Butler asked him if
he had not held up some one in a store
on jackson street. The prisoner said,
"Yes. on jackson and Fourteenth
Streets"
DR.. Ancker, city physician. was then
called. He had examined Wonigkeit at
the request of the court. and had had a
long interview with him. DR.. Ancker
found no evidence that his physical
condition was bad. and thought that he

KATIE DUGAN'S MURDERER.
Albert Stout Charged with the Crime
After Two Years.

WILMINGTON, DEL, Aug. 31.-Albert
Stout. aged forty. freight agent for the
Charles a. Warner Company, was arrest
ed to-day on a warrant charging him with
the murder of Katie Dugan in this city
nearly two years ago. The murder was
COMMITTEES on the night of Oct. 10. 1892.
and the body was discovered next morning
lying in the middle of a vacant lot in the
southwestern section Of the city. The
girls throat was cut from ear TO ear, the

body. Ap examination proved that the
girl was in a delicate condition. Suspicion
was directed TO Stout. in whose family
she resided as a domestic. a note which
the girl had received the day Of the murder
asking her to meet the writer that night
lat the same time and place" has been
recognized by experts as being in Stout's
writing. Testimony has been obtailed by
persons who claimed TO have seen Stout
and the Dugan girl together the evening
OF the murder going in the direction of the
scene of the tragedy. Stout has been kept
constantly under police surveillance while
the Investigation was going on. The war
rant for his arrest was sworn TO before
