REV. WAITE ACQUITTED.
But Court Cautions Him to Avoid Eric
ton With Church.

Justice Barnard late yesterday afternoon
dismissed the case against Frederick c.
Waite, who was brought before the court to
be examined as to his sanity. The presen-
tstion Of the testimony occupied four hours
of the courts time and a large number Of
witnesses were examined on both sides. The
proceedings were brought at the instance of
members of the Centennial Baptist Church,
who objected to Mr.. Waite's alleged persist
emcy in trying to promulgate his religious
views before the congregation.
1t was stated that members of the con-
gregation thought Mr.. Waite insane because
of his unusual methods in Interpreting the
Scriptures, and because of his views on re-
ligion, which they claimed were very Diff
ferent from the accepted tenets of the
church.
Members of the church testified that they
had endeavored to reason Mr.. Waite into
silence and on several occasions, while he
was giving expression to his views, 1t was
stated the members were obliged 20 start up
a hymn in order to drown Mr.. Waite's voice
and thus prevent his utterances from being
heard.
1t was also stated by several Witnesses
members of the church-that when the con-
gregation attempted to silence Mr.. Waite
during a long dissertation on scriptural sub
jectS, he quoted passages from the Bible.
Among the verses from the Bible used by
Mr.. Waite to silence those who in Interrupted
him were the following:
And he went up from thence unto Bethel,
and as he going up by the way, there
came forth little children out of the city
ard Knocked him and said unto him. Go up,
thou bald head, go up. thou bald head.
and Blessed is the man that walketh not
in the counsel of the ungodly, nor Standeth
in the way of sinners, nor Stitch in the
seat of the scornful.
One member of the Centennial Baptist
Church, Mr.. George Boyd, testified in behalf
OF the defendant. He said Mr.. Waite was
persistent in advocating his religious views,
and firm in his convictions, but that he was
not insane. He declared that some of the
members of the church had treated the de-
PENDANT badly in the meetings.
Many other witnesses were put on the
stand to testify to Mr.. Waites intelligence
and sound mental condition Mr.. II. H.
Classic, attorney for the defendant, stated
tending Johns Hopkins University. He said
the defendant was expert statIsticiar and
possessed fine mind Mr.. Waite alway 5
entertained deep religious convictions, said
the witness, but be is unquestionably of
sane mind
Justice Barnard in dismissing the case ad
monished the defendant to keep away from
| the Centennial Baptist Church. The court
said that in his opinion no testimony had
| been introduced to support the charge of in
| sanity
A number of witnesses were examined IN
| the case against James K. FitZgibbon, who
| was also charged with insanity. and after
hearing the testimony Justice Barnard or
| dered him committed to st. Elizabeth's for
| Fritzgibbon with the understanding that he
| enter Mt. Hope Sanitarium near Baltimore
fay treatment, but Mr.. FitZgibbon refused
| and he was ordered to st. Elizabeths.
