KALB EEIGNING INSANITY.
DR.. +. j. Wilson Says the wife Murderer is
HrrfartIX Sane.

COLUMBUS, O., Dee. 26.-Dr Z. y. VIII
son this afternoon created q sensation in
the lunacy inquiry of George Kalb. the
Wife murderer lay swearing positively that
the prisoner is sane, and. being one Of the
leading physicians of the city, his teSti-
mouy is very important.
He said that he had visited the Jail to
see Kalb two or three times q day since
Saturday. On some of these occasions
kalb was made aware OF tho Doctors
presence. but In others the matter was
kept secret.
When Kalb knew the Doctor was watch
ing him he played the insane dodge TO
perfection. but at other times he acted
as rational as any man,
The Doctor became convinced from
these experiments that Kdlb was simply
playing he insanity role, and yesterday
afternoon accused him of it. and con-
fronted him with the proofs. Kaib weak
ened ana began crying. and said he was in
trouble and everybody was against him.
Dr Wilson said he had no longer any
doubt but that Kalb was perfectly sane.
This corrJbIrateS the testimony OF the
Jailer who testified that the prisoner show
ed no signs of insanity until his attorneys
and physicians had visited him several
times.
