JULY BUILDING RECORD BROKEN
PERMITS ISSUED DURING AUGUST REPRESENT A COST AGGRE.
eating OVER $4,000.

The building season was supposed to
have recorded it's highest during July,
when permits aggregating 800, 900 were
ISSUED. and 1t was supposed that the bal
ance of the season would show a decline.
This did not prove the case with Aug
nst. however. as the permits issued dur
Ing the month aggregated Sis, 700, a con-
siderable gain over the preceding month
The buildings for which permits were
issued run all the way from big fire proof
business blocks to modest frame cot
ages, and the showing is certainly an en-
couraging one, especially as the valua-
ton given by the builders are probably
twenty per cent less than the cost will be
by the time the work is finished.
The permits for August exclusive OF
the smaller ones for repairs, which are
included in the total were as follows:
y Lee Davenport, two story brick build
ing. East Granite street. to cost $40, 900.
Bridget Nolan, brick building, Gaylord,
to cost $500.

JURY DECLARES
DEMPSEY SANE
HE CANNOT EVADE RESPONSIBLE
ITY FOR THE MURDER OF
HIS WIFE.
MEDICAL EXPERTS PUT
HIM TO THOROUGH TEST.
he Had asked How Insane Men Acted
-Angered by the Announcement
of Verdict.

1t did not take the jury long yesterday
! evening to determine the mental condi-
ton of Peter Dempsey-it pronounced
him sane, and next Tuesday Judge Clan
cy will pronounce sentence upon the
prisoner and set a date for the execution
of the man who. on April Is last, shot
and killed his wife,. Maggie, in a room in
a South Main street lodging house and
then coolly walked away from the scene
of the tragedy. The jury was out only
about half an hour and stood IL to l.
1t was not necessary for the verdict to
be unanimous in the conclusion, eight
being sufficient, but at first the members
did not know this and asked for further
instructions, which were promptly given.
Peter Byrne was the only one that voted
in the negative. During the entire day
Dempsey sat with his eyes trained on
the floor and one leg thrown across the
other, but when the verdict was read
he looked up in surprise, and told his
attorney he desired to see him. On the
way back to Jail Dempsey appeared to
be mad, and remarked to Bailiff Shay:
"Wha can a poor man expect from a
lot of - - like that"'
You might get a new trial." said the
bailiff.
"A new trial All they can do is
hang me-"
During the trial there was considerable
testimony for and against the insanity
theory. Several persons expressed the
belief on the witness stand that De,np-
sey was insane. but others took a differ
ent view Of it. DR.. F. L. Albritton stated
in behalf Of the state that he had ex-
amined the prisoner in Jail and came
to the conclusion he was not insane.
The doctor said Dempsey had asked him
to help him out. He had asked Dempsey
if he remembered anything about the
murder and Dempsey replied that he
did not. He had also asked Dempsey
if he considered himself insane, and tho
prisoner had answered that he OCCASION
ally had dizzy spells. Dempsey had
asked him how crazy people acted. and
witness replied Natural"
Drs. 2. p. Leavitt and T. j. Sullivan
testified that they. too, had examined
Dempsey and found no indications Of
insanity. Both believed him to be sane.
DR.. P. j.. Sullivan gave similar tests
mony, adding that he believed Dempsey
capable Of discriminating between right
and wrong. This conclusion had been
reached after the application Of physical
tests and eight distinct conversations
with the prisoner.
