BISCAILUZ NOT INSANE
His Chance to Go to Highlands Nipped in the
Bud by .Iudge Shaw

ouu ny JuuSe SnaW
NJ. V. Biscaluz. the attorney was
brought up before Judge Shaw yesterday
afternoon to be re-examined as to his
ment al powers. Three witnesses were in
attendance to say what they knew about
Biscaiiuz's mental antics. Dir. Mccarthy,
who had attended him during few days
illness, testified that his client had give n
him big ill about tn many cases he
had in the supreme court. That was all
the evidence adduced against Blscailuz
Then Lawyer Dupuy who had been
material in getting Biscailuz into the in
sane asylum the last time when he was
receive him, was sworn. He stated that
Biscailuz had always been an enigma to
him. He had never satisfactorily de-
cided in his own mind whether the man
was crazy or liar. Mr.. Dupuy said that
almost without knowing it he had found
himself engaged in an attempt to send
Biscailuz to thu asylum, and it was done.
Upon the mans return he had told wit
ness that he had taken the Kelley cure.
TO his, Mr.. Dupuy's, thinking Biscailuz
wa much improved. After theorizing OH
the case for awhile, the witness said he
believed the man responsible, although
his self-control was deficient.
Jail said the alleged unatic had taken
twcntythree drinks of water in that in
stItution on Sunday. All this did not
strike Judge Shaw as having establshe d
the insanity OF Biscailuz to any extent
and the com plaint sworn out by Mr.. =.
j.. Ducasse. Biscailu2s obliging friend,
was peremptorily dismissed. Then the at
torney was remanded to the custody OF
the sheriff to stand his examination for
forgery. which will be finished this morn
ing before Justice Young, after several
