Sentence in Penitentiary for Life Pref
cradle to Return to Asvlum

NO ofhcial report has yet been made by
the Jail officials bearing upon the mental
condition of William J. o Brien. alias VIII
liam Duffy who shot the clerk and the
messenger in the War Department last
week. The injured men are entirely out of
danger. but the case has not yet been set
for a hearing in the Police Court Attor-
ney Philip Tindall has been retained as
counsel in the case, and it is understood
he Will request that the hearing be had at
an early date.
The prisoner is not muci. concerned about
the matter of the hearing as he is perfectly
satisfied with his quarters and has no de-
sire to return to the asylum to escape pun
ishment for the shooting. He still says he
would rather spend the remaining years of
his life in the penitentiary than to return
to the asylum.
The physicians who have examined him
at the Jail have thus far failed to discover
anything upon which to declare him insane.

OF the court to withdraw a juror and
amend declaration. 1t being explained
that the ruling by Chief Justice Clabaugh
that Mr.. Phillips must show special dam
age. went to the very heart of the case.
The attorneys for MIR. Evans opposed the
granting of the request. pointing out among
other things that the case has been pend
ing three years; that Mr. Evans, a public
officer, has now overstayed his leave ten
days; that a delay would necessitate his
crossing and recrossing the ocean again
and that the plaintiff does not know what
the case is and does not know how to
prove it,"
After long discussion the court excused
the jury until next Monday and granted
leave 20 the plaintiff to amend his decia-
ration by that time.
