The local magnates have agreed

that they have the best legal opinion

John Seulin, president Of the Union
Depot Railroad Company, said: NO
body wants vestibules. They would be
in the way and cause more accidents
than St. Louis ever heard of before.
They are all right for sparsely popu-

Harrisyille, w. Va, October 20
After celebrating for thirty minutes,
the jury in the Irwin w. Brown muir
der case found him guilty Of murder
in the first degree and fixed his pun
ishment at confinement in the penl-
tertiary for life.
Brown heard the verdict that sealed
his fate with the same stolidity and
indifference that characterized MS
action throughout the whole trial. In
fact. he seemed the least interested
person in the court room.
Attorney Robinson, who was to
open the argument for the defense this
morning, had an attack of heart
trouble and fell in the court room,
and was carried out.
1t caused considerable excitement in
the court room. and court was adj
journed for a short while.
Hon. NJ. K Duty then made an
eloquent appeal for the prisoner, and
after dinner was followed by Prosecu-
tor Homer Woods, who made the eff
fort of his life in behalf of the State
and asked for a first degree verdict.
The defense made a strong plea for
acquittal and undertook to excite the
sympathy of the jurors.
Judge Freer's instructions to the
jury were a clear exposition OF the
aw, and eminently fair to both sides.
The jury retired at 3:15, and were
ready to report in thirty minutes.
The crowd about the court house
thought the jury would be out until
Monday, thinking it would require
much time to fix the degree of punish
ment. The verdict gives general sat
isfaction, although many people IA
vored hanging.

PARIS. October 23-The reconciliation
of the Prince and Princess De Sagan after
many years separation is the talk of fash

nephew of Tallyrand, and the last des-

collapse he was the supreme judge Of ele-
ganee in France. He set the fashions and
had distinct following among the nobil-

Many years ago the Princess cast him
off because of his prodigality. which led
him to involve his own and her fortune.

The Prince had been very i'll and was liv-

BANK ROBBED.
Daring Midnight Raid by Three Bur-
glars in the Little Indiana Town.

Mishawaka, Ind, October 21.-The
Exchange Bank Of Wakarusa was raid
ed by three robbers last night, who Sc
cured $500 and made their escape in a
surrey stolen for the purpose by con-
federate.
The robbery was particularly daring
While two of the burglars blew open
the door of the big vault with dynamite
the third man stood guard on the out
side Of the building. Three charges
were necessary before access to the
vault was accomplished and the noise
made by the explosion aroused lodg-
er in the upper part of the building,
who proceeded to investigate the cause
Of the disturbance in company with a
single policeman on duty.
Before they could satisfy their Curl
osity, however, they were held up by
the watchful sentry and compelled to
become passive spectators OF the oper-
Ptions within the bank. The robbers
worked quickly and secured $500 in
cash and notes and drafts for $500 more,
but overlooked several thousand dol
lars. They then left the building, and
accompanied by their prisoners, pro-
ceeded to the residence of ]. F. Green
walt, where the fourth member of the
gang was waiting with a carriage and
team Of fine horses stolen from Mr..
Greenwalts stable. The robbers
Jumped into the carriage dashed the
horses into run and quickly disap-
peared, leaving the policeman and citi-
zen standing in the middle of the road.
The sheriff was at once notified and a
posse sent in pursuit, but the bandits
have not yet been apprehended.
Il was later learned that the gang
had broken into the gun store of Myers
d Co. and stolen two rifles, shotgun
and several reviewers.
The Exchange Bank is owned by

LEO. D. WE'LL INSANE
Well Known Illustrator pemented.
Doctrines Of Christian Science Said
to Be Responsible for His Condi-
ton.

Chicago, October 23.-Leo D. We'll,
whose discoveries in photography
have gained him a wide reputation,
and who is also well known as a maya
zine illustrator, is confined at the de-
tention hospital awaiting trial as to his
sanity. His father, Jacob We'll, a real
estate dealer and owner of the Garden
City block, is making efforts to have
the young man given an immediate
trial and then placed in some quiet
locality, where it is thought he would
soon regain his faculties. Christian
Science is said to have helped unbal-
ance young Wells mind.
He walked into the Harrison street
police station yesterday and began
talking ramblingly Of his religious be-
lief. His conversation showed beyond
a doubt, according to the police, that
he was mentally unbalanced, and
they placed him under arrest. After
several hours We'll became violent, and
he finally acted so wildly that it was
feared he would injure himself.
Total collapse threatened the youth,
who has almost revolutionized the art
of photography, and the attendants
were compelled to lock him in a cell.
He is under q years of age. The po-
lice called county physician, who
declared him a fit subject for the de-
tentiOn hospital, and he was taken
thare. There his identity was learn
ed.
His father, who is a wealthy real
estate broker, living at No. 2703 Wa
bash avenue, was notified at his home,
and his brother, S. d. We'll, an attor-
ney at No. 164 La Sale street, was
also informed. They at once hurried
to the young mans side and vainly
tried to quiet him. Steps were taken
toward securing his trial and removal
from the institution
FAMOUS IN HIS LINE.
We'll, though mere youth, has en-
joyed association with President Nc
Kinley's family and many other not
ables. His genius as an illustrator and
photographer gave him a wide ac-
quaintance with leading men.
1t was his desire to visit Kansas
City to see Miss Judson, a Christian
scientist, that brought We'll into the
hands of the police. He visited a loan
Office to secure money for that pur-
pose and became involved in a fight
with the pawnbroker The reason for
his intense interest in the subject, he
declared. was that his life was saved
by the application of the science This
his friends deny, saying that his en-
thusiasm arises out of continued as
ISOLATION with believers in the cult.
We'll is said to have upset the idea
that the photographers subject should
sit in the studio, and was the origina-
tor of 'non-studio" photography. The
services of the young artist have been
in great demand and he was called all
over the country.
1t is believed that the affection he is
suffering will prove temporary de-
rangement.
