The Famous Criminal the Subject of
 Experiment.
 4 novel experiment Is to be tried with old Bill Vosburg, the former bank thief and general crook, who was discharged by Recorder Golf the other day in New York under a suspended sentence Friends of the old criminal have raised a sum of money which will be placed so that the interest on it will be sufficient to keep Vosburg for the rest of his life. Civil Justice Wauhope Lynn will be the custodian of the trust.
 'sThe experiment., said Justice Lynn, lis to try to reform old Bill. For years he has been a criminal and has spent the greater part of his life in prison. He never knew what the clements of kind ness and clemeney were, no pity being shown to him. He has reached such an age that he cannot live more than cou- pie of years. During the rest of his life Twill look after him and see that he en- gages in no more crime. The money raised by his friends, together with what he will be able to earn in serving summonses for me and a number of friends of mine, will be sufficient to keep him above want. explained this to Re corder Golf, and that is why he suspend ed sentence "-New York World.

REMARKABLE FEATURE OF A MURDER
 TRIAL AT COLUMBUS, o.

To Decide Whether Carl Doh Received an
 old Scar From Bullet or Sword
 Cut-His Plea Is That of Insanity-An
 Extraordinary Case.
 The surgeons knife was never called upon to play more extraordinary part than it is to take in the case of Carl Doh, .on trial at Columbus, O., for the murder last June of Charles Boekcher, fellow workman in a tailoring shop. The two men quafreled over the location of a certain city ill the fatherland. The dispute was so trivial that Boekcher thought nothing of it when they parted to go to dinner. In the afternoon Doh returned and shot Boekeher dead. The defense entered plea of insanity, and in support of it presented testimony showing that Doh attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself on his moth CT s grave.
 The defendant exhibited to the court scar in his abdomen where bullet had entered and extended upward, frac- turing small bones. This was the mark of the wound it was claimed which Doh inflicted ill attempting to kill himself. Testimony WAS introduced to show that he had no motive whatever for the act, and that he was prompted to it simply by an uncontrollable desire to take his life. He testified that he was neither sad nor ill when he fired the shot in such tragic manner.
 The state ascertained that Doh had been wounded years ago by a sword stab while serving i'll the German army and has set up the counter claim that the scar in question was left by that injury instead of bullet. Some strong evil denee has been presented in support of the states claim. and in the event of the suicidal story being proved false one of the strongest points in the plea of insan- ity would be destroyed.
 For the purpose of demonstrating that Doh's wound was inflicted by bullet and not sword ex-Chief Justice s. N Owen, one of his attorneys, proposes to have him placed on an operating table and cut open. In the event of the bones having been broken by a bullet the abra- sion will of course show that such is the case, and in the event of their having been struck with the point of the sword the appearance of the place where it en- tered will demonstrate as much. Judge Owen has engaged Dr. J. F. Baldwin, one of the most prominent physicians n the city, to participate in the operation, and several other physicians are to be asked to take part The prisoner is will ing to undergo the ordeal, and arrange ments are being made to have the opera tion performed. -Cincinnat Enquirer
