MISS EAsTWIcK INSANE.
Her Brother Explains Some of Her
 Peculiar Actions.

New York, September 4.-E. E. East wick, Jr., president of the Eastwick Engineering Company of this city, in an interview explained the condition of his sister, Miss Maria Josephine Eastwick, now under arrest in London on a charge of forgery involving $500,- 900. MT. Eastwick said:
 My sister suffered from typhoid fever about four years ago, and while at no time was her life in danger, her illness was protracted one, with pe- culiar effects on her mental powers. AS soon as she was able to be out she showed an abnormal desire for out door exercise, especially horseback riding and driving. Always a good horse woman, she was encouraged in the hope that the recreation would benefit her, but she carried 1t to such an extent that finally she had to be restrained.
 She was induced to enter a sani- tarium near Philadelphia, but after a stay of several months she showed little improvement, and she was re- moved to another retreat in Connecti- cut, where one of the most eminent specialists of the country could watch her. When she was released from there we were assured that, though she would continue to have vagaries which might annoy us, she was harm less. Soon after that my father took her to Europe, and has been with her almost constantly"
 MT. Eastwick denied that his father and sister had ever become estranged. She did leave her home several times. but always, he said, with the full con sent of her father, and almost always to visit relatives.

A horseman who has been my most ardent supporter, a few men who are far removed from the local field and others who could be of no use, have been reinstated.

 Judge Murphy stated that. notwith- standing the black eye dealt Kinloch Park by the Western Jockey Club, his track would fill out it's present schedule. The close of the present meeting Is set for September 14, but they have the op- ton of continuing to November l. Whether they would take advantage of the option of Judge Murphy was not quite certain, but the probabilities were that they would.

At the first intimation that such course would be pursued Mayor J. R. Black held a conference over the telephone with the sheriff. Later he went to Pittsburg, and on his return he was boiling over with indignation He denounced the action of Sheriff McKin- ley in the bibterest terms. Chief of Po- lice Morrissey volunteered to land every deputy at the station If the Mayor would only give the word, but the Mayor eau toned him that such action would trans cend his powers. The Mayor gave out signed statement in which he says;
 "In view of the fact that Sheriff Will liam c. Mckinley has seen fit to dis charge what he mistakenly conceives to be his duty to send deputy shertffs in that portion of the city of McKeesport occupied by the Demler Tin Mills, 1t becomes incumbent upon me to protest against such action. Probably there is no more peaceful spot on earth than that inclosed within our corporate limits.

prisoner sat down in the chair he said:
II killed the president because he
was an enemy Of the good people-of

sorry for my crime" These We're his
words as the guards hurried him into
the chair. A moment later, mumbling
through the half-adjusted face straps,

turned on and ZOO volts of electricity
shot through him for less than min
