by several witnesses that she was deranged
and that she inherited insanity from her
mother who was an inmate at one time or
also introduced to show that Alta Names
has acted strangely since her arrest; that
she has screamed and sobbed for hours at
a time; that she has lain unconscious for
hours at time and that she has a mania
for stealing On rebuttal, the State intro
duced DrS. Carson and kimbe.1ain, who
examined her while she was acting the
strangest at the county Jail. To them the
back and said her spine at one time had
been injured. The Doctors told how they
had laid trap for her. She complained OF
one particular spot below the shoulder being
very sore, and she would scream when they
touched her there. One physician thumped
her on the shoulder while the other exam
ined this spot, and while her attention was
attracted to the humping she complained of
been sore the humping would not have re-
lieved her suffering. Neither physician be-
lieved her insane, but they said at the time
they made the examination she was in poor
health.
During the cross examination which fol-

Judge McCray had sent DIR. Kimberain to

The attorney then made elaborate apol-

BENTON CoUNTY,s BONDS.
Holders Compelled to Sue for Pay
ment in the Federal Court.

The case of George A, Braun against
the Board of Commissioners of Benton
county is on trial before Judge Baker, of
the United States District Court The
plaintiff, who is a Toledo capitalist, bought
200 worth of Benton county gravel road
bonds. They were made due and payable
at the banking house of Winslow, Lanier
& Co.. the financial agents for Indiana in
New York. When the interest fell due the
bondholders presented the coupons for pay
ment. The county refused to pay the in
terest or principal or any part of it on the
grounds that the bonds constituted no in
debtedness against the county, and that
they were only payable out of the as
sessments levied on the land along the
gravel roads. After the bonds had been
sold and the county had received the money
the persons against whom the assessments
had been levied secured an injunction In
the local court of Benton county enjoin-
ing the collection of the same. The coun-
ty therefore holds that it is not liable TO
pay the bonds at all. The attorneys for
the bondholders aver that the bonds are
of Benton county; that the statute express
ly provides that the Board of Commission
shall issue the bonds of the county;
that it limits the amount of such bonds
to a certain per cent. of the taxable prop
is only authorized to be built upon its APP
pearing to the Board of Commissioners that
the thOroughfare Is county road and OF
public utility to all the citizens of the
county. Further. that the injunction
against the collection of the assessment does
not affect the bondholders, because they
were not parties to the suit, and knew moth
ing about it, and that suit was brought
long after the bonds had been sold by
the county and the money for them re-
ceived and used by the county. The argument
consumed the entire day and will be contin-
ued this morning. Albert J. Beverdge
opened the argument for the bondholders,
and attorney Frazier, of Fowler, and Byron
K. Elliott replied on behalf of the county.
The bondho1ders are represented by w.
H Rossington, of Topeka, Kan; w. H.

THE BYNUM CASE.
congressman Do Not Believe the Fed
eral Statutes Cover II.

eral Statutes Cover 1t.
dispatch from the Journals Washing
ton correspondent last night says that
majority of the Indiana delegation in Con-
gress lean to the opinion that the federal
statutes do not explicitly cover the case
of the alleged attempt to bride Congressman
Bynum. Section $50 of the Revised Stat
utes declares that any person who brides or
attempts to bride a member of Congress
with intent to influence his vote or decis-
ion on any question, matter, cause or pro-
ceeding which may be at any time pending
in either house of Congress or before any
committee thereof, shall be fined not less
than three times the amount of the bride
and given not more than three years impris-
onment." twill be seen that there is nothing
in the statute to cover an attempt to bride
a member of the House for an appointment
to office. Section 5451, applying to officers
of the government, would fit the case, ex-
cept that a member of Congress is not an
officer of the government clothed with ex-
section. The charges made by Mr.. Bynum
involved appointments solely and not leg
islation, which is the sole function of a
member of Congress. 1t is pointed out,
however, that nominations to the offices for
which Mr.. Bynurn was approached, are
clearly within the scope of Section $3.50, in
this, that nominations go to the Senate
and are by that body referred to appro-
pirate committees before which Interested
exert influences; that a nomination can be
held to be one of the matters which may
be pending in either house or before any
committee thereof

SHE IS NOT INSANE.
Evidence of Two Physicians I'm the
Alta Names Case.

Alta Naanes's trial was continued before
the jury in the Criminal Court yesterday.
The case is expected to reach the jurors
to-day. There is but one question for them
to decide, and that is as TO her sanity. Her
attorneys have offered no evidence to in
dicate that she did not steal several hum
dred dollars worth of jewelry and dresses
from Mrs. Christian, of West North street,
but have taken all of their time trying to
prove that their client is insane and ire
sponsible. All during the trial yesterday
Alta Names sat motionless in a chair by
the side of Police Matron Buchanan, with
her eyes fixed upon the figures of the limo
leum at her feet. She was deaf to all the
evidence and blind to all the attention
which she attracted, for the court room was
filled with people, who strained their necks
in an endeavor to catch glimpse of the
girl. She had to be supported to and from
her chair during the noon hour. and even
then moved along with seeming difficulty.

Garbage Ordinance Amendment.

The Council committee public safety
and comfort met last night and decided to
recommend the passage of the sidewalk
ordinance now before the Council. The ordi-
nance is to correct an oversight in the ex-
listing garbage ordinance. The present ordi-
nance does not permit the sweeping of the
Accommodations of dirt from the sidewalks
to the streets. This ordinance amends the
old one as to allow this
The committee also considered the cleo
trcal ordinance and will recommend its
passage with some amendments. The most
important will be that il viii allow all
electrical wires in use within the walls
of buildings to remain they are and not
require that they be changed on the order
of the inspector. The duties of electrical
inspector viii probably be added to those
already imposed upon the superintendent of
fire-alarm telegraph.
