BROODED OVER
A MURDER AND
LOST HIS MIND
Pit; able Condition Of
Eugene O'Rourke.
Is HOPELESSLY INSANE
OF THE McMANUs-
SWEENEY KILLING.
Rather Than Testify at the Trial he
Leaves the City and Is Beaten by
the Murderer After His
Return.
OF THE McMANUS-
SWEENEY KILLING.

Eugene O'Rourke, 4 shoe clerk is locked
up in a padded cell in the Receiving Hos
pital pending an examination as to his
sanity. Yesterday morning O'Rourke,
who was armed with a revolver, visited
the County Clerks office, and as his ac-
tions denoted that he was crazy he was
taken TO the insane ward and there con-
fined
ORourke, it is claimed, lost his reason
through brooding over the killing of Nc
Manus, the Gossoon," who was shot to
death by Charley Sweeney, the baseball
player, some years ago. The unfortunate
man was sleeping off the effects of a pro-
tracted debauch in the upper room of a
saloon where the shooting took place, and
did not learn OF the killing until informed
by a friend of the victim. 1t is said that
Sweeney endeavored to influence
O'Rourke to take the stand in his behalf
and becoming alarmed he left the city.
Sweeney was convicted of the crime and
sent to the penitentiary for seven years.
O'Rourke brooded over the murder, and
it was noticed that his mind was becom-
ing impaired.
Several months ago he met Sweeney in
a saloon near the City Hall and attempted
to shake hands with him. The eX-ball
player after roundiy abusing him for not
appearing a the trial, struck him on the
jaw, knocking him out. O'Rourke subse-
Quently informed one of Chief Lees men
of the occurrence, and he advised him to
report the matter to Captain Spillane The
latter told O'Rourke 10 be on the alert,
as Sweeney, when under the influence OF
liquor, was quarrelsome and was likely TO
wreak further vengeance on him.
Fearing that Sweeney was determined
to kill him. o ORourke purchased a re-
volver, determined to defend himself
against any further attack by the muir
derous ball player. The murder of The
GosSoon, coupled with the beating he
had received at the hands of Sweeney
greatly worried O'Rourke, and his rela-
tives feared that his mind was giving way
under the heavy strain.
Yesterday morning he went to the Coun-
ty Clerks office, and after complaining of
severe pains in his head asked for a doc
tor. He was promptly taken in charge
and removed to the insane ward Of the
Receiving Hospital.
Last night he was visited by several of
his relatives who, fearing that he might
injure somebody. are anxious 10 have him
committed to one of the asylums for the
insane. The surgeons at the hospital be-
lieve that he is hopelessly insane.

COURT SHOWS BIAS,
President of Dreyfas Court
Martial Displays Partially.
HOSTS ANTI.DREYFusARD C0LORs.

JOuaust Vents His Spleen on PicQuart.
New Attitude Taken by Dreyfus Pleases
His Observation-Disclosures Conduct of
Witness Junck.
RENNEs, Aug. 22.-Three points stood
out prominently in yesterdays proceed
ings Of the Dreyfns court-martial. They
were Colonel Jouaust's display Of par
tiality, the new attitude taken by Drey-
fus and the contemplate conduct Of the
last witness, Junck The spontaneous
utteranccs of Jouaust of the word ten
CORE (asain) when Picquart asked to
be heard, has been the topic of CONVERSE
ton, as Jouaust for the first time thus
openly and candidly revealed his par
tiality and hoisted the anti-Drey
colors.
Throughout the trial neither he nor
any OF the judges have shown particu-
lar love for Picquart, but he has never
committed such fragrant violation Of
justice and his duties.as Judge as he
did yesterday Colonel Picquart's re-
fusal to gently murmur evidence in the
ears Of the judges, instead of, as he did,
uttering his testimony in trumpet
voice, so that not a person i'll court
missed syllable, irritated the judges.
Picquart was perfectly within his
rights, even his duty, to ask to be heard
in the true interest of justice, in order
that the fullest light should be shed on
the affair.
The second point, the change Of atti-
tude on the part of Dreyfus, has given
universal satisfaction to his friends.
Hitherto he had confined himself when
asked by the judge if he had any reply
to make to witnesses to an impassioned
protestation of his innocence. This
made an immense, but transitory inn
preston on his hearers; moreover Gen
eral Roget made the significant remark
III court last week that an innocent man
does not merely protest his innocence,
but defends himself. This undoubtedly
stung Dreyfus into the line he adopted
yesterday, when he arose and replied
argumentatively in a calm voice to the
various points raised by the witnesses.
It was in response to Captain Junch
that he made his longest statement. oc.
cnpying about ten minutes The third
point, the conduct of Junck in repeating
condolences made to him as comrade
by Dreyfus, disgusted his hearers and
in the mind Of any right thinking man
must have considerably impaired the
value 6f the remainder of his evidence.
He and Dreyfus sat together in the
same Office and naturally exchanged
condolences regarding their, relations
with women. But, it was pointed out
no one but q contemplate person re
peats them in court, and especially in
the case Of a man passing as an Office,
and q gentleman.

London Crisis Will Develop Into War.
LONDON, Aug. 22.-There is no longer
any doubt that President Kruger has re-
fused to submit to the demand Of Mr..
Chamberlain for the appointment of a
court Of inquiry. He may have done
SO automatically or hedgingly. But
that his answer was regarded by the
British government as tantamount to a
positive refusal, is now an established
fact
The colonial Office is normally non
committal, but there are other evidences
which fully justify the statement The
report that President Kruger has pro-
posed new terms is somewhat verified
by the guarded comment Of the colonial
Office officials and the irritability dis
played there. There is not the slight
est doubt that they now believe war is
the only way to settle the controversy.
