Sorrow, colored, who is alleged to be d
lunatic OF dangerous and homicidal ten
dencies was not concluded yesterday. and
will be resumed on Friday next
The subject of the enquiry, who is about
sixty-siX years Of age is laborlng under
many delusions and hallucinations, among
others, that President Roosevelt will be
assassinated and that he has written to
him warning him of it. Sorrow also
claims to have heard certain people
speaking of assassiuating President Nc
Kinley, and that he also had been pre-
warned Of the imminence Of the tragedy,
but had paid no heed.
Sorrow is a man with a history. which,
however, he wrote himself This is in
pamphlet form and is in many respects
Il diary of Sorrows life. The statements
Of fact in II arr very contradictory, and
he makes great claims concerning his part
in shaping human affairs. Sorrow claims
to have secured the nomination for Presi-
dent Mckinley at the Republican Conven-
ton at Philadelphia, despite the efforts Of
Perry Carson and w Calvin Chase. who
he contends, wert 10 the convention to
Illustrate his plans.
Speaking of President Roosevelt, Sorrow
says that he viii meet the same fate as
did President Mckinley. lie claims that
he wrote "A letter to President Roosevelt

larly warned him to be very careful of the
tobacco and flowers he used.

Witness had heard that Washing on
had borrowed money from Nelson and
had never returned IT. She did not hear
any quarrel. When Nelson Joined her
he said nothing of the occurrence, ana
they walked rapidly to the house. where
they lived. Nelson told her as they en-
tsr'd. pot t" lock the door, and he then
went out again.
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook testified to
having performed an autopsy upon the
body at the mOrgue yesterday. lie louIu
that the knife. which was offered IN SNl-
denCe had penetrated the heart and IL
was possible for him to pass his httIe
finger into the left Veutrical through the
wound. The wound in his opinion, was
necessarily fatal. unless an immediate OPP

Policeman Fl. W. Cover, the next wit
ness said he had been called to the oyster
house and had sent the wounded man 10
the hospital, notifying police headquar-
ters He then arrested Nelson at the
Iatter's house Nelson admitted to him
that he had done the cutting. and signed
a written statement, the officer added.
In this written statement. the officer
testified Nelson said that when he tNel-
SOM started to leave the place with Annie
Green. Washington told the woman that
she dld not have to go. Nelson asked him
what he meant, and Washington grabbed
him by the collar, dragged him into the
street, and struck him three times. Mel
son was knocked against the fence. when
he pulled his knife cutting his hand in
opening il. and plunged the blade into
the breast of his antagonist
He did not know that he had seriously
hurt Washington. nor could he imagine
why Washington should have caused the
trouble.
Precinct Detective Patrick OBricn tes-
titled to having witnessed the statement
made by Nelson to Lieutenant Boyle.
Witness stated that he had known Mel
son about five years and that he had
never been in difficulty. He had always
borne a good reputation and strictly at
tended to business.
Witness had also known Washington
for years, and had frequently arrested
him for assaults, and for disorderly con-
duct The last time was about seven
months ago, when Washington was
charged with assaulting Adams, the pro
prietor Of the oyster house, wnere the
present tragedy occurred. Whether drunk
or sober, Washington always exhibited
a bad and qUarreisome disposition.
Nelson was then given an opportunity
TO make a statement TO the jury. He
was about to do so when Attorney Las
key advised him against it. Al this point
the case was closed and given to the
Jury.

A LULLABY.

Sleep, my dear one, sleep:
What though men laugh, what
though men weepP
What though the wind and rain
Murmur their rapture or their pain?
Love watches over thee
Like the still moon above the sea.
Sleep, my dear one, sleep:
What though men toll what though
they reapP
What though the devious days
Lead radiant lives in darkened ways?
Sorrow is not for thee,
Soul of my soul and heart of me.
Sleep, my dear one, sleep
Time in'its tenderness shall keep
Thy sweetly budding soul
In it's divinely wise control:
Hope sings it's song for thee,
Hope that is now and yet to be.
Sleep, my dear one, sleep:
The hours move fast, they rush,
they leap;
Red sunrise, then the noon
A life is lived and lost so soon!
May fate be kind to thee,
Soul of my soul and heart of me.

Youths Companion.
