no matter what the temporary hallucina-

matters nppsrmost IN his mind. The fact
that certain statements had been made in
she pres5ytery as coming from him preyed
OF bis mind
Upon the advice OF physicians Mr.. Tur-
81 signed the charges, and after the
steessary forTnalit.es had been gone
szough with the patient was taken into
H.rt whore he was again surveyed by
"a Dawson and Eagleson. and upon their
n0mmsndation was sent to SteilacoOm, IN

81 Mr.. Turner. From the fact that MIR.
Pads mother died Insane Il IS generally
ssteyei that the case IL one OF hereditary
ssaaity. and that the excitement OF the
church Investigations, in which Mr.. Field
ssS Interested. simply precipitated a ca
ATiy that must have occurred sooner or
