PoMERoY's SANITY DOUBTED.
Acquitted of the Charge of Violating
Mail Regulations.

Charles y. Pomeroy. a man about so
years Of age, was yesterday acquitted in
Criminal Court No. . Of the charge of vio-
lating the United States regulation relating
TO the sending OF obscene literature
through the mail. The jury which rem
dered the verdict stated that this cOnclu-
sion was reached because Of the unbal-
anced condition of the mind of the de-
fendant and he was held for examination
as to his sanity.
The principal witness against Pomeroy
was his sister whose home is in Connec-
ticut. The defendant is labOring under
the delusion that one of his relatives left
him a great amount Of money amounting
TO some thousands over three millions OF
dollars. PomerOy several months ago made
efforts to draw some of his imaginary
wealth from different banks in this city,
and being unable to do So concluded that
the bank officials were Withholding his
money at the instance Of his sister He
thereupon wrote several letters to his sis
ter. and received no reply. He told one
Of his friends his trouble and also stated
that he would write his sister a LETTER
which she would be obliged to take
notice Of
Pomeroy was correct in this conclusion
His sister did take notice of his letter. but
not in the way he expected The epistle
was of such nature that she complained
to the postOffice authorities. and
left the letter in their hands with instruc-
tions to prosecute the writer and sender.
The letter. sent her by her brother. Miss
Pomeroy testified. was filled with vile Ian
guage. Pomeroy was represented by Attor-
uey Albert White who made a plea of in
sanity on behalf of his client. and several
physicians were called to substantiate this

THE coEUR D'ALENE ENQUIRY
Testimony of Bartlett Sinclair, Gov
ernor Steunenberg's Agent.

IestthiOhy OF bAFIieIt NinciniTs 6DN-
eruOr Steunenberg'S Agent.
Bartlett Sinclair. State Auditor Of Idaho,
and the agent Of Governor Steunenberg in
the Coeur d'Alene region during the min
ing trouble, was a witness before tha House
Committee on Military Affairs yesterday
Intense interest was manifested in the
hearing throughout the day. and an uu-
usually large crowd was present. Every
point was stubbOrnly fought out during
the day, the Republicans voting solidly to
sustain ali objections and the minority
carefully raising objections. Messrs. Sulzer
and Hull had some warm alterations. and
the ss-eXamination Of the witness
promises to reveal some startling facts.
When examined by Attorney CLANCY for
the defence. Mr. Sinclair demanded that he
be allowed to object and refuse to answer
certain questions. Mr.. Cox ordered the
witness to sit down and answer what was
asked Of him. stating that if Mr.. Sinclair
had come with his answers cut and dried
he would get himself into trouble.
After stating some matters leading up
to his appointment by the Governor, the
witness said: I was instructed TO
take the train and meet J. c. Bas-
sett and tell him to go to the seat Of the
trouble Mr.. Bassett declined to 20. We
then wired 20 Sheriff Young. Of Shoshone
County, telling him TO act. Sheriff Young
wired back that all was quiet in Shoshone
and that the county authorities had not
asked for assistance as there was no trou-
bic. / was then appointed by the Governor
as his representative, and when the mill
was blown up proceeded to act. ! read
several newspapers on the train. and these
influenced my mind to ask that martial
law be declared in Shoshone County"
Objection was made TO the insertion OF
the sO-called biased articles in the "SpO-
kane Spokesman Review produced by the
witness. On a vote the articles In ques-
ton were ordered to be admitted to the
record Representative Sulzer then an
nounced that he intended to have the fair
and unbiased articles in the San Francisco.
New York. and other papers printed in
the record.
Representative Hay then presented re-
solution asking that newspaper clippings
on the other side of the case be inserted
in the record as clippings stated to be
prejudiced against the miners had been
admitted. The resolution was defeated.
Bartlett Sinclair then read the uewspa-
per clippings which had prejudiced and in
huenced him into demanding martial law
in Shoshone County. The majority Of these
were from the Spokane Spokesman

Tracy L. Jefords. attorney for Charles

yicted Of the murder of Robert Turner.
yesterday stated that today or tomorrow
he would file motion for new trial

noted many exceptions to the rulings Of
Justice Clabaugh, who presided. and it is
upon these the hope for a new trial is
based. Even if the motion for the new

the Supreme Court Of the United States.
1t is stated that McUiu's relatives are
very prominent in politics in the section
in which they reside In Tennessee. the
home of the defendant. This statement
is borne out by the fact that McUin has
been within the tolls Of the law before,
but has been able to escape punishment.
Knowing this General Anderson. attorney

prepared to prove Nouns former record

Of defence This was not done. The de-
fendant admitted on the witness stand
that he was convicted Of murder in Ruth
erf0rd County, Tenn, and sentenced to Ten
years imprisonment in the peuitentiary.
This was in 1895, and at the expiration
Of one year he was pardoued by the Gov
ernOr Of the State.
It is also stated that McUin has been
charged over a dozen times with serious
offences. In the event that the higher
courts affirm the decision Of the Supreme
