AN IROOUOIS FIRE CASE

CHICAGO. May H.-Choking and gasping

of Mrs. Frank r. Greenwald. an Iroquois
fire victim, in order TO steal her money.
suddenly jumped 10 his feet in Judge Cliff
ford's courtroom to-day and pointed fran
tically at an imaginary spectre which he
thought stood confronting him.
While the spectators looked on in terror
the man frothed at the lips and waved his
arms wildly in the air. He was overpowered
and thrown TO the floor, where it took half
a dozen police officers to hold him. Par
oxysm after paroxysm shook him, and he
had to be manacled and taken into an ante
room.
When quiet was finally restored Mahn-
ken's lawyer decided to let the case go 10
the jury without argument. Almost in
stantly the twelve men filed back, the fore
man announcing the verdict guilty" If
the insanity was feigned 1t failed TO move

The technical charge against Mahnken
was perjury, and II was proved that he had
taken the body Of Mrs. Greenwald from a
morgue and had IL buried as his aunt. His
motive was to gain possession of the 800
found on the body.
