SHE IS Alluded INSANE
INED In THE PROBATE
COURT
HER VERSION OF THE CRIME
Blames 1t on Hypnotic influence and
ON VIII of Supreme Being
Clear Case of In
sanity.

Mrs. Matilda Helstrom, who killed her
daughter Saturday, was yesterday ex-
amined In the probate court and found to
be insane. She was ordered committed
to the asylum. Drs. Macdonald and Bart
lett served On the examining board with
Judge Harvey. 1se e
Mrs. Helstrom said she thought she
had been under hypnotic influences the
past year and that for two days before
committing the deed had heard voices di-
recting her to do it She said the influ-
ence became SO strong that shs could
not resist. One moment she would JUS
tify the act on the ground that she had
simply obeyed the will Of the Supreme
Being, and then she would say she did
not know why she did such a thing. She
said people had been making trouble for
her family.
The husband testified that for the past
year she had been melancholy in her
manner, but had never shown other
marked evidence of insanity. Some Of
the neighbors said they had noticed some
thing queer about her at times for two
or three weeks before the tragedy, but
nothing of such a character as to mora
than merely attract notice.
Mrs Helstrom seemed clear enough In
her recollection Of the deed She sad
she struck the girl while she was asleep.
but the blow only awakened her and she
sprang up but was soon knocked sense
less.
There was some question for a while
as to whether the probate court should
conduct the examination or leave 1t to
the district court. But County Attorney
Boardman informed Judge Harvey that
it was such a plain case OF insanity that
no complaint had been made for criminal
prosecution.

Taking the remarks dropped by num-
Der OF assemblymen as q criterion, 1t is
safe to say that the st, Paul Gas Light
company, when 1t appears before that
body this evening for correction of its
contract with the city, will fail in its OBJ
ject.
The board of aldermen in its refusal
Tuesday night to entertain the PROPOSE
ton in any form without the assembly
first passing on the matter showed the
attitude of that body, while the assem-
bly,, at least a majority Of it. has shown
its feelings in the matter.
Attorney G.. c. Squires, for the gas
company, in his argument before the
board Of aldermen Tuesday night, in
which he tried to have the contract
changed in wording, because technically,
1t abated one-half of the interest charges
for all time, instead of a year, as intend
ed, said that no contract existed between
the city and the company, as it had not
been accepted by the latter, but the city
officials through whose hands the matter
passed say that Mr.. Squires is in error;
that contract does exist, and it bears
the signature of the officials Of the COM
pany and of the eitys executive
Assemblyman Warner says, in giving
mis- vote for the awarding of the contract
TO the gas company, that he distinctly
understood that the interest abatement
was for all time, and he is shared In this
opinion by others.
While the city is represented as saving

the gas company. this would only accrue

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION

Continued From First Page.
Friday night than he is likely to be az
it is.
Tawney's friends claim that he ought
to go to the senate because he has made
good member of the house His oppo-
nents allege that that is just the reason
why he should stay where he is, and
that, having been reelected last fall, he
ought to stand aside. Because he has
defended the dairy interests is no rea-
son why he should milk the whole state
He Is a shrewd politician, as the lum-
bermen know, and possibly his candidacy
may strengthen him to secure another
term in congress. It seemed to work
that way with McCleary when he put hts
oar into the Nelson-W ashburn contest.
Once was apparently enough for Nc
Cleary. and history may repeat itself in
Tawney'S case.
Gen. Clapp's strength lies in the fact
that he Is one of the people, and the
people sort Of like one of themselves His
ability is not questioned. That can be
said of the other candidates as well, but
he has different way Of getting to the
hearts Of the people. If he should be
elected, he might be like Bailey, of
Texas, averse to the demands Of fashion,
which would require him to doff that
SLOUGH hat and Prince Albert, which
Identify him as far off as the eye can
reach. But when his constituents went
to Washington they would find him the
same Moses as at home, ready to meet
them on an equality and lead them out
of the wilderness of despair to the
pleasant pastures of peace and happiness.
The fact that when Btxby called his
Third district, expecting to be the big
chief (ugh) most Of them were for Clapp,
leads C1app's friends to believe that he
is the coming Moses to lead the present
legislature out of the wilderness.
In my observation of several senatorial
campaigns in Minnesota I have never
known man to be elected senator who
wore a plug hat during the contest. Tom
Lowry and Bob Evans wear plug hats.
We will all know more when we OBJ
tain further information.
