duct tending to the prejudice OF good
order and military discipline. Is now

pointed to try him. Yesterday the tax
Ing of testimony was closed and argu-
ments of counsel submitted. The trial

was much larger yesterday than at any
other time since the trial began. and
among the spectators was score OF
ladies. Several OF them We're friends
of General Eagans daughter. who was
called as a witness, while others were
attracted by curiosity. The testimony
at the closing session of the court was
directed largely TO establishing the
fact that the general had lost his men,
tai balance as result of the charges
made against him by General Miles.
His daughter and her husband told OF
the generals changed condition. ana
intimated that they had great fears
that he might at any time kill his &C
cuser Mr.. Mckee. lifelong friend,
stated that at that time he believed
him actually insane. The facts In this
connection were brought out strongly
by Mr.. Worthlngton in his efforts to
show that General Eagan at times was
wholly irresponsible.
a dramatic incident OF the trial was
the testimony of the generals daugh-
ter Mrs. Hopkins. in which she de-
scribed her fathers appearance on II ;
day he first read General Miles state
ment Standing IN the door of his house
with the newspaper containing the evil
dence in his hand he exclaimed Wild
ly: "I have been crucitied by General
Miles" He could think OF nothing
else nor talk of anything else than that
General Miles had ruined his life. He
was from that time in an alarming
condition, and when witness was COM
PEELED to go to New York she had re-
turned almost at once to help care for
her father. The witness spoke with
much feeling in regard to her fathers
changed condition. DR.. w. 4. Hop
kins, of California and New York. cor
roborated his wlfe's testimony, anu
added that General Eagan could not
eat nor sleep normally.
Other old acquaintances testified that
General Eagan neves used profane or
vulgar language, and that he had al
ways been mild before the publication
Of General Miles charges.
Secretary Alger was among the
III hn
a conversation he had with General
Eagan shortly after General Miles had
given his testimony. General Eagan
came into his Office in an excited state
of mind and said 1t was his wish to
prefer charges against General Miles
for what he had said. Il told him.,
testified Secretary Alger, that under
the presidents order granting immuni-
ty to officers who testified before the
commission ne could not do So"
