servations Of the doomed man from a
psychological point Of view, and is now
convinced that Durrant was an abnor.
NAL man and not entirely responsible
for the commission of the Emmanuel
church murders
Il paid very careful attention to the
whole execution" said the doctor, and
can say for one thing that there was
not disagreeable sensation connected
with 1t, for everything was conducted
In decent way.
"Durrant himself was the uuietest
man OF all who were present. Every
body was impressed by the fact and
not once did he falter or tremble. This
very quietness OF manner is to my
mind one of the strongest proofs that
he was abnormal. He spoke in the
most nonchs'ant manner, just like a
man in an after-dinner speech. His
face was less pale than the faces OF
many Of the spectators and during the
remarks his features and eyes bright
ened and his whole appearance was
animated.
There is no doubt about his being
abnormal and degenerate. This
opinion is certain and sure, and con-
sequently Durrant could not be held
entirely responsible for his misdeeds.
If the case had been one before the
German courts, he would have been
subjected to rigid examination by
psychological experts as to his sanity,
and doubt very much il he would
have been hung at all.

complaint Of his wife, with assault

Wesley and his wife are reported to be
somewhat peculiar characters, and

time ago to save trouble with officers

ened at various times to annihilate his
better half. and after hearing the evil
deace in this particular case, the judge
bound the defendant over to the Dis
trict court. Bail was fixed at $500.

CHARLES W. JUDklNS.
Sad Death OF One OF Watervillc's Mosi
Promising Young Men.

Charles W. Judkius died at his home in
this city. Thursday evening. rs the re-
suit of a complication of diseases, aged
y years.
The complications were brought on as
The result Of exposure to which he was
subjected while at Old Orchard. last sun
day, while in bathing. At that time Mr..
Judkns in company with several others
from this city were at Old Orchard and
Iudkins was urged to so in bathing. AZ
first he refused on account Of a heart
trouble Later being urged by his COM
panionS he consented. While he was
bathing the boys noticed that Mr.. judi
kins was acting in a peculiar manner
and went to his assistance but not until
he had sunk
He was brought to the shore and for a
time it seemed that in spite of the eX-
ertions the young man would not again
become conscious. He finally came to life
and was well enough to return 10 this
city. That night. Sunday, he was in one
of the down town drug stores and while
telling of his experience looked badly.
The following Monday he was taken dan
gerously sick it was thought.
From this he seemed to recover and 1t
was not thought necessary to summon
his relatives who were at Great Pond.
Later in the week the trouble began to
grow worse and he died. He seemed to
have taken cold from the exposure to
which he was subjected and pneumonia
set in. This in connection with the heart
trouble caused his death.
He was young man who was univer-
sally liked and in spite of his reserved
disposition had large circle of friends
and acquantances. For number of
wears he had been in the employ of Hor-
tons bakery and was one OF the most
trusted young men in the employ OF the
company.
The arrangements for the funeral have
not as yet been made.

On one subject skepticism is rapidly

their public expressions regarding
them. The doubter must doubt no
