Sanity.

ing to burn st. Dominics and st. Patrick's
churches, was brought up before Judge
Miller today. to hear evidence concerning
her sanity. Warden Leonard said she had
become violent. but in court she took her
seat In the dock. and was as quiet and
peaceful any of the prisoners. But her

with her mind. She did not seem in the
best of hunior, and was not as laxative IS
Hitherto.
They appeared in court this afternoon
after recess and Drs. jackson and Shute
made an examination of the prisoner.
Doctors Testify.
DR.. Shupe said she had shown symp-
toms OF delusion. He thought she could
not comprehend the nature of the charge
against her. and he thought that on ques-
tons outside of this deIusion she knows
right from wrong.
DIR. jackson and Health Officer Wood
ward gave similar evidence, and said she
needed treatment.
Questioned by the Court.
Miss Delaney was questioned by the
court, and said she had come here to live.
and was giving concerts successfully.
She told of having fever and then told
the court that the priests had caused her
trouble. Judge Miller directed that all the
witnesses he summoned TO appear tomor-
row, when the facts will be heard.

vical vertebra. He had no control of his
body below the neck. except as shown by a
slight movement of the hands. His mind
was clear and he was in good spirits. DIR.
Church. who has been in charge of the
case, says he showed remarkable pluck
Almost from the first there was no hope Of
his recovery.
Operation Performed.
Within few days after he was taken
to the hospital an operation was performed
upon the sixth and seventh vertebrate by
DIR. karr, who removed a portion of the
bone which pressed on the spinal cord.
This operation was undertaken with no
hcpe of effecting complete reoarat.on of
the injured part. This was done to afford
relief and add. if possible. a single chance
of recovery. The sixth and seventh verte-
brae were dislocated, and the sixth was
badly fractured. Throughout the long
months that have interviewed since the ac-
cident the patient has had constant medi-
cal attention, ana nurse has been III at
tendance day and night The care given
him anc the operation performed ur doubt
eddy prolonged Bahen's life, and every eff
fort was made to make him comfortable
him and read to him. He has at no time
been told that he could not recover, al
though his parents were made acquainted
with the probabilities early in the history
in Richmond. where the son was bern in
1876 They have been IN Washington since
the accident occurred. Last night the pa
dent sank SO low that DR.. Church sent for
the parents, who remained at their sons
bedside until death came.
Stories Denied.
There have been conflicting accounts of
the way In which Bahen was hurt, and 1t
has been said that he held vengeful feel
tlgs toward the man who hurt him. His
own story. which is corroborated by the
physicians, and by cool-headed men who
witnessed the affair on Thanksgiving day
from close standpoint, absolutely denies
this report. In the first place, Bahen has
not shown any feeling toward anyone while
at the hospital. His story was that he was
running first In a tandem Interference on
the line, with little Leet of the Columbus
In front of him, and big Mahoney of the
Georgetowns Just behind him, with the
ball Bahen said he bent over and butted
into Leet to ward him off from getting at
the ball in Mahoney's hands. and in the
scrimmage that followed he was hurt. Con-
trary TO the report, one version OF which
was that he refused to see the man who
caused his injury, Bahen always spoke
kindly of the men who played with him,
botn friends and opponents, and bore no
feeling whatever against anyone.
Kindly Interest.
The accident was one natural to the brutal
lengths Of recklessness to which football
playing has gone In recent years. and poor
Bahen paid the penalty of taking chances
in sport which an athletic and manly
young man may be pardoned and admired
for enjoying.
The interest which the people of Washing
ton have felt in the case displayed itself
splendidly at the benefit for Bahen which
was given few weeks ago at Metzerott's
when over 500 was realized and placed at
his disposal.
