FOUND TO BE CRAZY.
Robert McDonOuEh Adjudged Insane
After an Examination.


How are they coming. Sides?"
This question was put to every MEM
Der of jury from the Court OF Ordin-
airy by Robert McDonough in the county
jail yesterday afternoon. 1t is Bob's fav-
orite way of addressing an acquaintance.
and almost every one of the twelve men,
who had been named by Judge Screven
to pass upon the unfortunate mans men
tai condition, was well known to him. The
jurors talked to the prisoner for some
little while, and verdict adjudging him
a lunatic was the result, without dis
senting voice
About two weeks ago Bob was arrested
on a charge of disorderly conduct. He
was sentenced to serve thirty days in Jail
by Recorder Myrick and was also re-
manded for trial in the City Court. In
that tribunal Judge Norwood sentenced
him to serve six months on the county
changing. The county authorities real
lied at once that McDonough is not a
at subject for the chaingang, and Chief
Deputy Sheriff Sweeny had warrant
for lunacy issued. He had noticed the
mans actions in the jail and In his opin-
ion the asylum was the only proper place
for him.
During his stay In the Jail McDonough
has pretended that he wanted to hang
himself, and on more than one occasion
had a rope round his neck. He had to
be confined to his cell. He believes that
he is in charge of all the negro prisoners
on the lower floor of the jail, and says
that half the time the negroes would pay
in the Philippines and China The I'M
fortunate man complained to the jury
that half the time tn enegroes would pay
no attention to his commands, and that
unless there IS more discipline 1t will be
more than a year before his recruits Will
be ready for active service.
Bob recognized representative Of the
Morning News, and called his army to
attention. He stated that he wants the
public to know of the good work that
he is doing and that IL the men are only
made to obey and respect him he will
have a-frst-class fighting force in a short
while. The demented man will probably
be taken TO Milledgeville this week.

constructed In Savannah or neighho-ing
places.
With a race in which such boats are en-
tered Commodore Schley contends. the
question of superiority would depend, not
upon the boat, but upon the way in which
she was handled. Yachting ability would
then tell, and those handling the boats
would De put to it to practice sailing. With
such plan in operation, there would be
a rejuvenation of yachting. New orleans
and other places have made such plan
effective, and the results have been all
that was expected.
