Mems Club Entertained.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Mems Club of ST. Marks Church, Capitol
Hill, was held in the parish hall of the
church Thursday night. The attendance
was large, and many new members were
added to the rolls. The exercises of the
evening were in charge of the president,
DIR. Littlewood. The announcement was
made that the recent entertainment given
by the club was financially success.
Business being dispensed with, the re-
naming time was given up to music and
Rotations. This part of the program was
all that could be desired in excellence of
arrangement and artistic rendition. Mr..
Charles F. Roberts sang several selections.
Masters Lawton HERMAN and Julius
Smith rendered violin solos. Recitations by
Messrs. George Speidell and Hall were in
teresting feature. Prof. Trott, organist
and chormaster of the church, was the
piano accomDanist.
At the next meeting in January it is
probable that a Stereopticon lecture on the
cathedrals of England will be given.

Among those who testified yesterday aft
ernoon at the instance of the defense was
Mr. w. w. Rollo, an emp.oye of local
bakery where Thorn worked for many
years. By reason Of queer actions and
strange talk of the defendant, at intervals
during long period of time. declared Mr..

stand. During his regular visitsto the Dis

seen and talked with Thorn. When the
the mental condition of the defendant Mr..
Gould objected, and a long argument fol-
lowed.
The ruling of the court was in favor of
the defense, and Father MCGUIRE was per-
mitted to say that at times he found Thorn
in extremely good spirits, while on other
occasions he was mentally depressed. When
in happy mood the defendant told the wit
ness that his wife had appeared to him;
that she was in her coffin. She told him
she was at rest and happy and waiting for
him. Thorn further declared to the witness
that he was indifferent as to the outcome
of the trial, for he was anxious to join his
wife. When in depressed mood Thorn said
to the witness that he was sad because the
rain was falling on his wife.
In the opinion of Father Mcguire, Thorn
is abnormal mentally.

where Thorn was employed, described what
he considered to be queer actions on the
part of the defendant. Other employees of

Rights Of Police.

Gently asked the Commissioners to obtain
from the corporation counsel an opinion as
to the rights of police officers on duty to
epter barrooms. Mr.. Duvall. the counsel,
has replied that the questions asked seem
to be wholly hypothetical and too general
to cali for or justify an opinion:
1.-The particular facts in each case" saws
Mr.. Duvall would determine the right
and duty Of the officer; and any expression
OF views upon the subject generally might
be so construed as to interfere with the eff
fective administration of the law. If any
officer fails to perform his duty or miscon-
ducts himself In any case the party ag-
grieyed has his remedy against him.
