him to say that on the night of February
last he was kept awake by sickness
On the next day, not being we'll, he did
not eat any breakfast Before going to
the Courthouse, he says, he took drink
of whiskey.
When he entered the courtroom the

sleeping. So 1t was that he did not hear
all of the charge Of the court to the Jury.

what transpired.

In the case made afidavits In reference
to the matter.
Mr.. Simmons also asks for a new trial
because of errors of law, and because the
verdict was not in keeping with the
weight OF evidence.
Mr.. William Thomson, jr.. whose will is
being contested, was formerly United
States Consul at Southampton, England.
He made a will IN 1886. while he was
abroad The will was contested on the
ground that it was not properly attested
and because 1t was alleged that the tes-
tator was not of sound mind at the time
of its execution. The jury sustained the
will. The estate left by Mr.. Thomson is
valued at about S75,00G.

Son of Rev. DIR. Hnmlin Slightly
Wounded by senator Fairbanks'

Robert Fairbanks, the fifteen-ye year old
son of Senator Fairbanks. while exam
ing revolver Saturday afternoon last
at the Fairbanks residence. 1900 Massa-

els Hamlin. the fourteen year-old son of
the Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin. The bullet
lodged in the fieshy part of the neck and
was extracted by physician. The wound
is not dangerous one. and young Ham

days.
In speaking of the affair last night Sem
ator Fairbanks said:
Several boys were engaged in their
youthful matters on Saturday, among
them being my own sen and young Ham
lin. They were in a room of my house.
While two or three boys were examining
pistol which they did not believe was
loaded. young Ham,in stepped ont into
the hallway. In some manner the pistol
held by one of the boys was discharged
as he did so, and the bullet embedded it
self in Hamlins neck. The wound is most
trifiing. Physicians extracted the ball.

Juror ACCUSED OF BEING
DRUNK DURING TRIAL.
Grounds Assigned for Ne10 Hearing in VIII Case-Mr.
.Searcp Admits His Incompetency TO Act

The intoxcation of one of the members
of the jury is one of the reasons which
Attorney Leo Simmons assigns as a
ground for new trial in what is known
as the William Thomson, jr., will case.
The case was tried last week before Chief
Justice Bingham, of the Supreme Court
of the District.
Mr.. Searcy. the Juror referred to, also
filed an affidavit in which he acknowl-
edged that he was In no condition to take
part in the determination of the ques-
tion at issue.
This is, however, only one OF the
grounds upon which a new trial is asked.
Mr. John L. Ferris, member of the jury
which considered and passed upon the
evidence in the case, in an affidavit filed
by Mr.. Simmons, states that while the
jurors were on their way from the court
room to the consultation room some one
standing in the corridor hanied a juror
typewriter paper. He also declares
that another member of the jury took
notes of the testimony and read them in
the juryroom.
Referring TO the conduct of Mr.. Searcy,
it is stated by Mr.. Ferris that the former
when he entered the consultation room
spoke in a rambling and incoherent man
ner. 1t was suggested to stop him. Mr..
Ferris says. but some one said: He is
drunk and will soon have his talk out"
Mr.. Searcy, it is stated. did stop in a
short while. and then he seemed, it is
said, to go into a comatose state.

ANXIETY AT WHITE HOUSE.
Brothers and Sisters Eager for News
From GrOtOn.

The members of the Roosevelt family
still at the White House-Miss Alice,
Kermit, Archibald, Ethel, and Quentin,
are most anxious regarding the condition
of their brother. Advices by telegraph
are received in the war room at the
White House nearly every hour and are
at once communicated to the family.
Miss Emily Carow, the sister Of Mrs.
Roosevelt, is seeing to the comfort of the
children during the absence of their
mother and father.
There have as yet been no arrangements
made at the White House for the mem
bers of the family there to go TO Groton,
although they can do SO at few min
utes' notice.
One of the stenographers left for
Groton yesterday afternoon at $50
o'clock. OF the office force. Mr.. Loeb,
Assistant Secretary to the President, is
in charge, and as much business is taken
care of as can be handled in the usual
channels without the direction of Presi-
dent Roosevelt or Mr.. Cortelyou.
All Washington appears to be deeply
sympathetic with the Presidential family
in its misfortune. The callers who came
yesterday to enquire the latest news from
GrotOn were many and the operators in
the telegraph room were busy answering
similar enquiries by telephone.

According to authentic reports the

scientists only.
The operation revealed the fact that the
livers of the twins were Joined together
making the operation a most dangerous
one. It is also known that they must
have been united by important blood ves
sells, as medicinal substances given to
one could be traced in equal quantities
in both. The twins did not know of the
operation they were to undergo.
When Doodica recovered from the eff
fects of the chloroform she cried:
They have parted US" Rodica uttered

| NEW YORK. FEB 1o.-Notwithstanding
the splendid show of spirit with which
TIE people of Paterzon are rising TO meet
their disaster. it is evident that the city
is still too stunned to grasp the full mag
nitude of the blow which has fallen upon
it
Mayor Hinchliffe in response to all of
fers of assistance that came flowing in to-
day from other cities and from individ-
uals, stoutly insisted that Paterson was
able to bear her own burdens. With
grateful expressions of appreciation for
the generosity he declined every one Of
these offers Of aid.
Few Apply for Relief.
Very few people have applied rfor relief
in proportion to the numbers who were
turned out. The National Guard armory
and the churches were open on Sunday
night to all who needed food and shelter.
They also were ready to store furniture
and household goods which were saved.
More people asked for storage than for
food and shelter The mayor said today
that not more than a dozen families had
applied for relief
This, in view OF the fact that $50 dwell
ings were burned. and more than 400 fam
lilies turned into the streets, is remark
able record. 1t is accounted for by the
fact that those who we're burned out
were for the most part in moderately
comfortable circumstances.
In Homes of Friends.
Most of them went to the homes of
friends. In addition to this, many citi-
zens who owned vacant houses placed
them at the disposition of the city au-
thorities, and they were turned over to
homeless families.
What is needed by many is furniture
erson are supplying generously.
A revised estimate of the total loss
places it at about $1,000, 600. This, of
course, is only the toughest of guesses,
for it will be days before anything like
statement of individual losses
can be made.
Swarm of Insurance Agents.
The same applies to the insurance. The
,ity was swarming with representatives
'f the insurance companies today, but
neither they nor the local agents would
ienturc even a rough guess as to how
much the 100 or more insurance COM
oan!es would have to pay to settle all
,laims.
1t was the general opinion, however
hat the figure would reach not less than
a GOO OOO
