Mr.. DoN:N's CONDITION
81 lt
Further Testimony in the Inquiry as to His
" Sanity.
Witnesses Who Believe Mr.. Donn fa
Cnpublet af Attending to His
.-r. ; Business Affairs.

Renewed interest, judging from an in
creased attendance in the court room,
marked the opening of the third day of
the proceedings to determine the sanity
Of Oliver P. Dom. the outcome of which
involves the management of an estate
aggregating more than 100000.
The case Of the opponents of the petition
was continued without delay this morn
ing, Deputy Marshal w. B. Robson being
called to the stand. Mr.. Robson Saturday
last was dispatched by the marshal to
Mr.. Donns residence to bring him before
the jury.
The witness described in detail the trip
from the city hall to the home of Mr.. Dom
and return, and the conversation between
them. Mr.. Dom was found locked in a
rsom on the second floor. said Mr. Robson.
and a quantity of spittle had run down on
his beard and clothing. He gave lucid an
swers to a number of questions on various
topics propounded by Mr.. Robson, saying
among other things that he did not care for
jury or any one else to meddle with his
business affairs, as he was competent to
attend to them himself.
A lively tilt occurred between Mr.. Wor-
thington and Mr.. Perry during the exam
tnation of Deputy Marshal Robson, Mr..
Worthington contending that Mr.. Perry
was debating to and endeavoring to cur
tail the right of Juryman Dorsey Clagett
in examining the witness. while Mr.. Per-
ry declared tnat opposing counsel sought
to place him in bad light before the jury
and noted an exception to the remarks.
James H. Grant, a builder, related to the
jury facts regarding certain business trans
actions with Mr.. Dom recently, in which
the latter displayed proper competency, and
then Mrs. Cora L. Dinwddie, the second
daughter of Mr.. Dom. who now resides
at h-on-the-Hudson, New York,
took the stand
An Adjournment.
After a recess Mrs Dinwiddle was fur
tt er examined. and then Mr.. o. r. Thomp-
son was again placed on the stand, and
explained the preparation of power of
attorney for Mr.. Dom in favor of Mrs.
Metzger. Ftr
Testimony was given by Robert Dinwid-
die, the husband of Mrs. Dinwiddie tending
to show that Mr.. Dom is sane ana com
petent.
Millard Metzger, the husband of Mr..
Donn's daughter Mary. was called and
stated that he sees Mr.. Dom daily and be-
lieves him to be competent to manage his
affairs. Next Mrs. Mary c.. Metzger, the
last witness in opposition to the petition,
was sworn. but before she was examined
at any length the hearing was adjourned
until tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Perry stated to a Star reporter that
the inquiry will surely reach an end tomor-
row, but Mr. Werthington was doubtful on
that point.
