in their cells to-day they conversed on all
other subjects but declined to discuss their
crimes.
Both made the same defense at their
trials, that of insanity, and in
both cases DR.. Robertson of Liverm ore
was called in to answer the hypothetical
question on which their lives depended.
The all-important question was put in
each case by District Attorney Church and
contained probably 100 times the word
"supposing.' 1t covered all the events of
the prisoners lives prior to the murder
and up to the time that the fatal deeds
were actually committed, and concluded
with: "Supposing all this, was the pris-
oner, at the moment such an act was done,
sane or insane, in your judgment, as an
expert on insanity?'
''He was perfectly sane, !" was the answer
in both cases.
For over twenty years DR.. Robertson has
made study of insanity. He has some
very pronounced ideas on the subject, and
he declcres it to be absolutely farcical for
a normally minded man to declare that he
was insane for the few seconds necessary
to draw gun and kill his wife, and sane
Immediately before and after.
DR.. Robertson says that the present
methods of caring for the insane have q
greater tendency to cause than to cure in
sanity. While discussing the subject he
said:
ARREST any sane and strong-willed man

court filled with the morbidly curious,
and. later, send him to Jail in prison van.
Finally place him in the hands OF rough
deputy sheriff, his hands strapped to his
side, and take him, openly exposed, from
fifty to 500 miles, landing him in an asy-
lum filled with thousand other suffering
human beings; surround him from the
beginning with disgusting odors, horrid
shrieks and fearful sights
mo matter how sane and self-willed he
might have been when he left his home.

receive by such brutal and objectionable
treatment. But when this very same
thing is done to one physically sick, with

PAGANISM IN ENGLAND.
Prior Vaughan of Manchester
Tells Strange Things of
His Country.

The Very Rev. Prior Vaughan of Man
chester, England, who arrived in this City
from Australia Saturday on his tour of
the world, delivered sermon in the Paul
lists church yesterday at late mass
The discourse was eloquent and appealed
powerfully to the large congregation, for
Prior Vaughan is at once a forcible and
impressive preacher. He devoted the first
part OF his address to purely religious sub
iects-the Immortality of the soul and its
character, needs and destiny. And chang
ing his theme he spoke at considerab bic
length about the mission OF English
speaking people, the spiritual or lack of
spiritual conditions in England and the
novel work of his order-the Gregorians-
in Great Britain.
He said that 80 per cent of the London
people only were chureh-goers: % per
cent of the residents of grimy Sheffield and
26 per cent of those in Liverpool. More
than two ont of every three persons in
London have no formal dogma or doctrine
and probably never set foot in church
from one end OF the year to the other. All
the cathedrals, churches and places of
worship in London, if filled at every SER
vice in the morning and every service in
the evening, could not hold half of the
population of that city, and yet the
churches are not half filled as rule.
1.-The millions of the workers in our
mines, the operatives before the blast fur
naces, the artisans in our workshops and
the factory hands are as rule pagan

preacher with emphasis. "The millions

hitting water or air under pressure or
steam into the cylinder the claws are
caused TO open and close.
The machine is to be suspended from a
derrick or crane, on the boom of which are
fastened two lines of water or steam pipe !;
TO which are connected two lines of rubber
hose, they being attached to the cylinder
of the grapple.
These combined pipe and hose lines are
connected TO the supply pipe at the base

derrick or crane in either direction.
