NORTHFlELD, MASS.
Claim That He Wrote Checks In His
Sleep.

James w. Greenwood Of Fitchburg was
sentenced at Worcester Monday to the
house of correction for two years by
Judge Gaskill in superior court for utter
ing forged check for $500 on the Wachu-
sett national bank of Fitchburg Sept 90
1903 Greenwood pleaded guilty, but in
pleading for mercy his counsel, Walsh &
Walsh of Clinton made the unusual claim
that the forgeries were committed by
Greenwood while he was in his sleep.
Other checks written by Greenwood while
asleep were never presented for payment,
and were found in unusual places, one be-
ing discovered rolled up in the toe of his
slipper Martha Holton of West North
field, who adopted Greenwood from the
Monsoon orphan asylum when he was a
child, testified that he was a dutiful son
to her and her husband. She is rs years
old, and told the court she and her hus-
band adopted Greenwood i'm 1869 and he
lived with them until 1898, when he mar
ried. She discovered soon after he came
to live with her that he had trouble in
his sleep, and the same trouble is noticed
now in his 10-year-old son. She said she
is willing to make up any deficit caused
by the man.

FALSE PRETENsEs CHARGED.
Hans Wachsler Fined $25 by Police
Court Judge.

Ensign Roper, the local commander OF
the Salvation Army. played the part OF de-
tective yesterday afternoon and placed under
arrest Hans Wachsler. twenty years DID,
who has been collecting money from resi-
dents Of this city by falsely pretending, 1t
was said. that he was making the collec-
tons for the army. He wore suit OF
clothes similar to the uniform OF the or
ganization, and had no trouble in inducing
people to give him money. His collections
greatly interfered with the harvest festival
collection Of the army, 1t is alleged, and
Ensign Roper was anxious that he should
be apprehended. Yesterday afternoon the
ensign met the young stranger In the city
at Pennsylvania avenue and 18th street and
placed him under arrest. He was turned
over to Detectives Muller and Cornwell and
conveyed to police headquarters.
Wachsler admitted that he had been max
ing the collections, but said he had not col
lected more than 49, His statement was
that he had been engaged in the work OF
the Salvation Army in Germany, and En-
sign Roper believes that such is the case.
Wachsler declared that it was his first Of
Tense, and said he would behave himself in
the future.
This morning he was arraigned in the
Police Court, and Judge Mills fined him SO,
with the alternative of three months on the
farm. He did not have the amount of the
fine and stepped back.

ARE WOMEN "NERVoUspv
A London Critic Declares That They
Are Stronger Than Ever Before.
Ioraox,

From the London Daily Express.
Women of the present day are said to be
more nervous than women at any previous
period. This. of course. is largely the opin-
ion of pessimists expressed in an exag-
gerated manner. Undoubtedly the woman
of today suffers from nerves." But this
has always been a common complaint
among women at all times. The last gen.
had mistakenly convenient attacks of
''megrims."
The pessimist never wearies Of charging
upon the strain and stress of modern life,
the rush Of travel. the restlessness of great
social centers. the incessant poaching on
the hours of the night, the eternal increase
reality If the strain on women be greater
than ever the fact that they are able to en-
dure 1t proves an increase in nervous
power rather than decrease. The woman
who works for her living today has far
stronger nerves than her predecessors ever
possessed. She stands the strain year In
and year out; the women of few genera
lions ago could not have stood 1t for a
month. 1t is also futile to point to the
rush OF modern travel as a nerve-deStroy-
ing force. At the present day there is less
nervous waste In crossing a continent than
there was hundred years ago in a jour-
ney from London to Bath in the stuffy in
terror of a numbering coach
Where among the women of old whose
nerves are SO lauded could we find the wo-
man who could drive a motor car without
tremor or who could cycle through street
crowded with traffic? The most compe-
tent authorities declare that never in the
history of the race has so excellent type
of woman been evolved as the average wo-
man of today.
