Hi HAMLET TRIAL
Prisoners Attorneys Claim a Third
Ground for Defense.

Prisoners Attorneys Claim a Third
Ground for Defense.
Special to Times-Republican.
Iowa City, March ia third ground
of defense was brought out by Ham
let's attorneys in the trial OF Hamlet
in the University of Iowa Junior law
court yesterday. 1t is that the venom
with which Laertes' ranier was poi
soned operated depressingly upon the
nerve centers and prevented Hamlet
from exercising what mind he may
have had to distinguish right from
wrong.
DR.. r. ]. Becker, al expert witness, a
member Of he faculty Of the homeo-
pathic college of the University of
Iowa and OF experience with insane
persons gained in European hospitals
and the care of county insane in Iowa.
testified that venom, or poison as 1t is
commonly known, universally acts upon
the nerve centers. causing a depression
and ultimate Inconsistencies. The
contention Of the defense in argument
will be that the time from Laertes'
first scratch t. the end OF the hour,
after interruptions to urge Hamlet to
drink the poisoned cup. the swooning
OF the queen and Laertes' story Of the
poisoned rapiers. was sufficient to act
upon Hamlet's nerve centers so as to
make dumb what little ability to distin-
guish between right and wrong he may
have had.
This defense will be, like the n OF
self-defense and defense of his mother,
auxiliary to the main defense OF in
sanity.
II. NJ. Mercer. of Burlington, the Juror

There is probably not a city in
the South that is more famous
than this Wire Grass Colony City
of South Georgia, but no indus
trial write-up of this promising
Eldorado of our State would be
complete without statement of
transformation of the vast pine
forest of 1895 into hustling ac-
tive city of 1000 population, with
all modern equipments, in a per-
iod of less than eight years.
Fitzgerald may be rightly
classed as the Queen of the
Wire Grass. In the spring of
1895, Ex-Gov. Northen secured
options on some 10000 acres of
land in the almost barren region
of Irwin County, with only one or
two farm cabins as shadows in
the vast stretch of pine forest.
The property was taken by Col.
p H. Fitzgerald, the promoter of
a Union Soldiers Colony in the
South, where by community ac-
ton they might realized the BEN
efts of their investment and en-
terprise. 1t was an innovation in
Southern development, and was
watched with the closest interest
and scrutiny, some hopeful,
many doubtful of the outcome.
