true bill against Benjamin Harrison Milli-
ken, private secretary OF Senator Harris,

The occurrence took place in this city

sionally visited.

and later in the night another daughter,
whose room communicates with her sis
ter's, aroused Judge Phillips b. stating
that there was man in her sister s
room.
MilIiken was captured on the roof of
the dining room annex by a private watch
man, and was locked up on charge OF
housebreaking, but was subsequently re-
leased by one of the assistant district at
toTneys.

TAYLOR'S CASE HOPEFUL
Judge Cole and Mr.. Birney Said
to Have Reported FaVorably.
Ex-Surgeon General Ha mmond Certi-
fies That He Regards the Condemned
Man as irresponsible.

1t is understood that both Judge Cole and
District Attorney Birney have reported IA
vorably to Attorney General Harmon on the
petition made by the citizens of Northeast
| Washington for a commutation of the SEN
| tence OF Murderer Thomas j. Taylor from
| hanging TO life Imprisonment Mr.. Har-
mon refuses at present TO make known
the nature OF the reports, or what DISPOSE
tion he will make of them.
The movement to obtain clemency for
the condemned man, Taylor, continues to
gather strength
Messrs. Barrett and Niles, the attorneys
| for Taylor, are daily in receipt of letters
! from medical experts and from prominent
| citizens in regard to the case. The fol-
| lowing communication from DR.. William
A. Hammond, formerly surgeon general,
| and one Of the most celebrated alieniSts in
the country, speaks for itself
Washington, ID. c., July 1 /, 1896.
Barrett and Niles. Attorneys at Law,
Washington, d. c.
"Gentlemen: / am glad to hear that
| systematic and determined effort is
| being made to obtain Clemency for Taylor.
| AS you know, l made repeated eXamina-
| tions Of the man. He bears the marks Of a
severe injury of his skull, he has the clin-
| ical history Of sunstrOke, and he has
| suffered from repeated epileptc paroX ysms.
| His intelligence is certainly below normal.
| The factors / have mentioned are surely
| or n highly eXtenuating character ap-
! piled TO the crime he committed, and taken
| in connection with the circumstances ac-
| companying the act afford powerful eyi-
dence to the effect that he was not fully
responsible.
Il have great respect for the opinion
| or DR.. Chaplin, the medical expert called
| by the prosecution, but il must be borne
! in mind that he made no personal eXamina-
! ton of the prisoner, and that his evidence
| therefore was entirely theoretical
Il hope that his excellency the Pres
! ident may see his way clear to interfere in
! TayIor's behalf to the extent of committing
| his punishment 20 imprisonment. He
| does not belong to the criminal class, his in
| tentions are generally good but his power
| OF ScIf-ContrOl is weak and he is eX
| tTemely liable to lose command OF himself
| from slight exciting cause to such an ex
tent as not TO be fully conscious OF what
! he is doing
III the ends of justice could not be
| perfectly assured by i'm priso nmenG l
| would not be in favor of committing
! TayloT's punishment l hope, as / bave
! said before, for executive inUerposition
between him and the extreme penalty.

BEAT HIS wIFE BRUTALLY.
James III. Isaacs Sent TO Jail FO
Ninety DaYs.

Ninety Days.
James H. Isaacs, locomotive engineer,
living at No. 212 D. street southeast, was
arraigned in the police court yesterday by
Policemen Cramer and Ryan, charged with
brutally assaulting Susie Isaacs, his wife.
The woman told a story Of her husbands
brutal treatment that excited the sympathy
Of all who heardIit Her arms and shoul-
ders were black and blue, and her eye was
terribly bruised.
She said that Isaacs had been treating
her almost in the same manner for the past
eight years, but she had never made any
complaint, because OF the disgrace 1t would
bring on her children. Recently, how
ever, she applied for q divorce, and her
husbands brutality since then has increased.
Thursday night he stole up behind her, ac-
cording to her story and beat her terribly.
Mrs. Isaacs said that once her husband
struck her while she was holding dying
baby in her arms. She wept a good deal
while testifying.
Isaacs said that his wife was always
whining and kicking around the house and
that she had talked about him to young
male Iodger The man was a stranger and
he didn't think she ought TO do 1t. He did
not deny beating her.
The court said that for such cases the
only proper punishment was the whipping
post. He did not want to send the man
to Jail because the woman would suffer by
non-support during his absence. There was
no alternative, however, so Isaacs was
sentenced to serve ninety days.
