THE EXPERTS TESTIFY
What They Say of the Mind Of Miss
Viola Horlocker.
SHE IS DECLARED TO Bf CRAZY
Mental Disease, but All Are to tho
Same End-The Accused Regarded as
n Physical and Mental Degenerate.

HASTINGS, Neb., March "a
whole day was given In the Horlocker
trial with testimony from medal eX~
pertS. They without exception deciGr-
ed Miss Horlocker to be crazy as a bed
tug, and not responsible for her ac-
lions. Doctors Cromwell, Norbury and
Green were OF the stand, the gist OF
their testimony being that the defend
ant was possessed of au insane ire
sistible impulse" to poison Mrs. Morey,
and that her will power was INSULT
Gent to avert the act. The experts
we're unanimously of the belief that
the defendant a born a degenerate,
but had assembled the inclined plane
IF life in an orthodox ana cIeditable
manner until she reached the age OF
puberty, when natures changes in
CuCed a retrogressiOn that had stead
ily continued ever since, and which
would continue to the close If the
chapter.
DR.. Annie Cromwell, the official head,
and DR.. Frank p. Norbury, the medi-
cal superintendent, of the Jacksonville
sanitarium, where the defendant has
been the greater part of the time since
the commission of the crime, gave
their opinions. DR.. Cromwell testified
that Judge Raglan called on her the
last week in May and made the con-
tract for the care of Miss Horlocker,
also that the patient went under the
name Of Miss Viola Allen while there.
She denied that the patient participant
ed in social functions, but said Miss
Allen" accompanied her to church sew
eral times, and was practically one of
che official family of the institution.
She described the mental condition of
the defendant as abnormal in many re-
&pects, and said that she was prone to
ing sentimental songs of a pathetic
cature. She vas capriciOus, suspicious
and given to hysterical, insane out
breaks. She was fault-finding, with an
abnormal craving for sympathy; was
abnormally credulous and was de-
dressed on an average five days out Of
seven.
Witness regarded her as a physical
End mental degenerate and, IL answer
to a hypothetical question, said the
defendant was insane at the time of the
commission of the crime charged. She
nelu Tic ueieHudul ID DeIIeI HOW phys
lcally and worse mentally than when
witness first saw her the first of last
June.
DR.. Norbury said he believed the de-
PENDANT was Ia until the age of
puberty, when she developed a prepon-
Gerance of sexual life, and that she
was mentally unbalanced after that
time. He took the crime itself into
consideration when arriving at the
conclusion as to her insanity, and
could not have arrived at a positive
conclusion on that point had it not
been for the crime.

SHERIFF PUTS UP A FIGHT.
Wounds Two Membe of n Mob Before
Giving Up His Prisoner.

BELAIR, Md, March 28.-Lewis
Harris the negro who was arrested
here day before yesterday, charged
with a criminal assault upon Miss
Anne M%cIlvaine, was taken from the
Jail last night and lynched after a
brief struggle between the sheriff and
the mob in which two men were
slightly wounded. It had been expect
ed that an attempt would be made to
hang Harris yesterday when he was
to have been brought up for a hear
ing, but this was postponed until to-
day and everything seemed SO quiet
last night that the suspicious of the
sheriff were allayed, but he continued
to keep close watch. Shortly before
midnight it was announced that a MOD
was On its way from Aberdeen, a
neighboring village, and a general
movement toward the Jail took place.
Presently about twenty men appeared
some of whom were masked, and an
attack upon the Jail began. A fusil-
ade of shots was exchanged between
the sheriff and his deputies on the
one hand and the mob on the other, re-
sulting in the w%ounding of Robert l..
Bull of this place and one of the
crowd from Aberdeen, whose name
could not be learned.

Receives No Award Notice.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-This
government has not yet been notified
OF the postponement of the award in
the Delago bay arbitration, which was
to have been announced today. The
news from Berne to the effect that the
arbitrators probably will refrain from
a distribution of the award among the
claimants, has created a d~isagreeable
impression here, carrying, as it does,
the inference that the result will be an
indefinite delay in the settlement of
the case. By adopting such course, the
arbitrator will, it is said, place the re-
sponsibility for the delay upon the
claimants.

A Girls Queer FORESIGHT.

PEORIA, ILL.,, March 2S.-Grace
Holmes located another dead body in
the Illinois river. Two months ago
this wonderful little girl declared that
the body of Mrs. Sommers was in the
river and stuck to her story, although
few people paid any attention. A week
ago, while dredging, the body of the
woma vas found about 500 yards be-
low where the girl at first declared it
was located. She went out with a few
men and was rowed to a point in the
river, where she stopped the boat and
said "the body is within 1000 feet of
this point" Dredging was commenced
and the body was found about sixty
feet lower down.

PRESUMPTION OF LAW
Extracts From Charge of Judge Adams in
Horlocker Case.
THOSE VINO ARE OF SOUND MIND
An Act Produced by Mental Disease Is
Not a Crime--Insanity Is Innocent Only
Under Certain Circumstunces-O Other
Matters In Nebraska.

HASTINGS, Neb., April 2.-Follow-
ing are extracts from the charge of
Judge Adams in the Horlocker case:
THE law presumes that every person
jG of a sound mind until there is some
evidence to the contrary. In this case
the defendant is entitled to an acquit-
tai If the evidence e%ngenders a reason
able doubt as to the mental capacity
at the time the alleged offence is charg-
ed to have been committed. Evidence
Tebutting or tending to rebut the pre-
sumption Of sanity need not, to enti-
tie the defendant to an acGuittal. pre-
ponderate in favor of the accused. The
presumption of innocence attends the
accused step by step through the en-
tire case, as well upon that of mental
capacity as upon all others. The eff
feet of the presumption OF innocence
upon the question of mental capacity
is of such strength as to require that
the evidence show %soundness of mind
teyond reasonable doubt, but it is not
of such power as to require the state
in the first instance and before the in
PRODUCTION of evidence tending to show
mental incapacity, to prove the men
tai capacity have been in the normal
condition usually possessed by ordinary
persons.
Insanity is disease of the mind. An
act produced by mental disease is not
q crime. If the defendant had a men
tai disease which irresistibly compelled
her to commit an act, if the act was
the object Of mental disease in her
she is not guilty; she is innocent, as
innocent as if the act had been pro-
Guced by involuntary intoxication or
by another person using her hand
against her utmost resistance. Insan-
lty is not innocent unless it produce
the committing of the deed. If the de-
PENDANT had an insane impulse to poi
son Mrs. Morey and could have resist
ed it, she was responsible. Whether
every insane impulse is irresistible is
a question of fact. Whether in this case
the defendant had an insane impulse to
commit the act and whether she could
resist it are questions of fact.
The jury is further instructed that
you would not be warranted in infer
ring that the defendant was insane
from the mere fact of her committing
the crime, provided you find that she
did commit the crime, O" from the
cnormity Of the crime, or from the
mere apparent absence If adequate
motives for it, for the law assumes
that there is a bad motive, that it is
prompted by malice if nothing else ap-
pears"

NEW YORK, March 29.-The COM
mittees of the socialist labor party
and of the social democrats that were
appointed at the recent convention of
those parties for the purpose of effect
ing a union met in conference today.
Most of the business done during the

new united party and where the head
quarters of the national executive
committee should be. 1t was agreed
to submit the names OF 10th parties,
the social democrats and the united
socialist party" to a referendum vote
OF both parties. A long fight followed
Eve the selection of a city for head
quarters of the national executive COM
mittee. The choice finally narrowed
down to New York and Springfield,
and then there was a motion to refer
these names to referendum vote of the
two parties. If the two socialist fac
tons unite Eugene V. Debs, it is said,
will be the candidate of the united

Court HOlds Governor Taylor Had No
Authority to Grant 1t.
FRANKFORT, KY, March 2S.-The
fourth day Of the examining trial of
Republican Secretary Of State Caleb
Powers began with the court room
cleared Of all people excepting attor-
neys, newspaper correspondents and Of
ficers of the court. The court adjourn
ed yesterday to meet at 9 o'clock, but
1t was nearly 10 when Judge Moore
called for order. The attorneys for the
defense held a consultation and after
wards called County Attorney Polls
grove.
Imediately after the consultation
Governor Brown, for the defense, n
nounced that no testimony would be
introduced for the defense, and that
they would waive further examination.
The pardon issued to Powers by Gov
ernor Taylor was rendered by ex-Gov-
ernor Brown as a bar to the prosecu-
ton, and he asked that the defendant
be dismissed.
Colonel Campbell said the common
wealth denied Governor Taylor's right
to issue a pardon at the time the par
don was granted. Governor Brown
moved that the prisoner be dismissed
upon the evidence. The motion was
overruled. Bail was asked for. Judge
Moore said:
ut is not my belief that Powers fired
the shot which killed Governor Goebel,
but from the evidence it is my opinion
that he was connected with the con-
spiracy to kill him. I shall therefore
order that he be held over without
hail to the Franklin county grand jury
that the case may be further 1nvesti-
gated"
After the Powers case had been dis
posed of Judge Moore asked if the COM
monwealth vas ready to take up one of
he other cases, that of Captain John
Davis or William H. Culton, who are
also charged with being accessories to
them.
County Attorney Polsgrove asked
that both cases be postponed until 2
o'clock this afternoon, the attorneys
having agreed, and court adjourned I'M
til that hour.

APPEAL IN IRRIGATION CASE.
ID. e. Thompson Comes Before the State
Board for Hearing.

DOhTu u AitatinS.
LINCOLN, March BID. E. Thomp-
son has appealed to the State Board OF
Irrigation from the decision of Secre-
tary Wilson in refusing to grant an
other hearing on his application for
water from the Platte river for an ir-
rigation canal. Hearing on the appeal
will be before the board Wednesday,
April 4. The questions involved in
the case as 1t now stands are of a
legal nature, bearing upon the extent
Of authority and jurisdiction of the sec
cretary of the board. Mr.. Thompson
calims that the secretary exceeded his
authority in making certain demands
upon him in connection with his appli-
cation for the right to use the water
from the Platte river and that he was
in error in refusing to grant a rehear-
ing in his application.
The appeal of Mr.. Thompson will
probably reopen consideration of the
claims of the Fremont Power ami
Canal company and the Seymour Park
Power and Canal company of Omaha.
The Fremont company proposes to
construct a canal for power and irri-
gallon purposes, from a point lear
LlnWood, In Butler county, to
The route of MI. Thompson's proposed
canal begins at the same point and
terminates also at Fremont, but does
not traverse the same territory. The
Seymour Park company applied for
permission to carry water still further
down the Platte river. All claims but
that filed by the Fremont company
were rejected by the secretary Of the
Board of Irrigation. Mr.. Thompson
had filed a protest and was given u
hearing before the claim was allowed,
as were all parties interested in aEpro-
priating water from this particular sec
ton of the Platte river. A few days
after his claim was rejected Mr..
Thompson filed a motion for a rehear-
ing, which was granted, the hearing
being set for August 4. 1899. On that
day Mr.. Thompson did not appear and
his motion was Overruled.
