the horror of the dishonorable thing
he had done, assailed him with bru-

stunned by the suddenness and the
memorable character of his trouble.
And he told himself 1t was best to

unannomced. one day stranger
dressed in store clothes and wearing
long hair.
"My name is BurrOughs-John Bur

"what DO you know about bankingT

perhaps in the unique stranger might

thinking OF the world of finance which
he was seeking TO invade.
The comptroller laughed. And is

was the bland and sincere reply.
In much merriment the comptroller
summoned an assistant. Here's the
most astonishing instance OF ingenu-
BUSINESS I have ever encountered in
public life" said he. "That man over
there applies for a government position
and the only hackers that he can name
are the muses.. Yet this department is
not political. and somehow I'm inclined

REGARDED AS INSANE
VERDICT NOT GUILTY IN CASE OF
WIN. JOHNSON.
Witnesses Testify to Defendants Men
tai Responsibility and Court
Directs Dismissal Of Charges.

With the consent of the District attor-
ney. and on the motion of Attorney Camp
bell Darlington, Justice Prftchard this
afternoon instructed the jury in Criminal
Court No. 1 to bring in a verdict of not
guilty in the case of ex-Policeman William
Johnson. charged with assault to kill. The
verdict was rendered on the ground of in
sanity. The sudden ending of the ease was
brought about by the evidence Of num-
Der of physicians and others, who testified
as to the mans mental condition. The
prisoner was therefore immediately dis
charged.
The trial began this morning with the ex-
animation of the witnesses for the defense.
The first of these was DR.. Chas. Clarke of the
Government Hospital for the Insane. who
testified as to Johnson's insanity. Drs.
Sewers Morgan, Crook and Latimer were
also examined, and all testified as to the
ex-policeman's responsibility. Ten per-
sons who knew the defendant and had been
associated with him were next examined,
and testified as to the mental debility of the
defendant. When this testimony was all
in Attorney Darlington representing the
defendant, moved that the jury be instruct
ed to return verdict of not guilty. The
prosecuting attorney consented to such in
struction being given, and a verdict was
returned accordingly.
Opening of the Trial.
The trial of Johnson was begun yes
terday morning in Criminal Court No. l..
A jury was secured before the morning
session of the court was concluded and the
hearing of testimony was proceeded with
Immediately.
1t is alleged that on the night in question
Johnson left the station house at midnight
to go to his home. A short time afterward,
while Policemen Waters and Hall Of the
fourth precinct were standing in front of
one of the patrol telephone stations at the
junction of their beats, they were approach
ed by colored man whose hat was pulled
down over his eyes and opened fire on them
with revolver The policemen were both
hit. and one of them seriously wounded.
Their aSSailant fed before they could re-
turn the fire. An alarm was sent out all
over the city to look out for the man and
a description of him was given.
The following morning investigation
of the shooting had cast suspicion on john
son and he was arrested. After being ques-
toned closely he admitted the shooting.
but claimed to be under some supernatural
influence at the time.
The man was taken to the Police Court
and held for the grand jury. was indicted
and his case was placed on the calendar
for trial today.
Johnson admits the shooting. but enters
plea of insanity. His case has attracted
considerable attention during the past two
months, and 1t is believed that the man Is
slightly deranged. Attorney Campbell Car
rington appears as attorney for the de-
PENDANT and Messrs. Turner and Gordon,
assistants to the United States district at
torney, represent the government.
The first witnesses examined were Police
men Hall and Waters, who told the story
Of the shooting.

In Dilapidated Condition.

Snowden Ashford, the inspector of build
ings, has submitted a report to the Com
missioners on the request of Louis H. Per-
ley of 1725 De Sales street that orders be
given for the repair Of the party fence be-
tween 1341 and 1343 Corcoran street Mr.
Ashford says the fence Is in dilapidated
condition, but not dangerous to life or
limb. The writer, he says, appears to have
a wrong impression of the duties of the
building office in regard to party fences.
The regulations require that fences of this
character shall be kept in good repair by
the proprietors of the ground on each side
at their joint expense.
