Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


Frank H. Cheeseman is thought to be
trying to cheat the hangman by insan-
ity, real or feigned. Cheeseman was be-
fore Judge Ellsworth this morning to be
arraigned for the killing of II. ]. Brooke
few weeks ago, on which occasion he
also attempted to kill Mrs. Brooke and
her daughter.
When Cheeseman came into court he
looked and acted like a lunatic. There
was not an expression of intelligence in
either his eyes or any other of his feat
ures. Whether this be natural or not ex-
perts will probably have to determine.
When his name was called only the
slightest movement of his lips indicated
that he took the least interest in the
proceedings. When ordered to stand be-
fore the court the murderer wandered
aimlessly around, and finally, with the as
sistance OF the bailiff, stood facing Judge
Ellworth. At his preliminary examina-
ton he was defended by Colonel Clarity.
But he has no funds with which to EN-
gage counsel for his trial, and the Judge
asked him If he would like an attorney
appointed by the court. Cheeseman
either did not or would not understand
what the Judge meant. and SO his case
went over until Friday.
Opinion is divided as to whether Cheese
man is a lunatic or knave. IL he Is
deceiving. he is very clever. He was once
not help his defense. On that occasion
he killed a man and pleaded insanity so
effectually that he was sent to an asy-
lum.
Eta Payne, the girl whom he tried to
kill, and who was Indirectly the cause of
the tragedy of August s., will testify that
Cheeseman told her that his going to the
asylum was merely ruse to save being
convicted. He confided to the girl that
he feigned insanity on that occasion With
perfect success. 1t will. of course, be
argued by the prosecution that he is do
ing the same thing again.
Cheeseman has the record OF a lunatfc.
even If he be not one. On five differ
ent occasions he has attempted to com
NIT suicide. Once he jumped from a win
dow, landing on a dog, which was killed
self; again he stabbed himself with a
knife, and yet again he jumped into the
bay. He also made an attempt to end
life by jumping from a high building but
his scheme was upset by some telegraph
wires in which he caught
