publican State Central Committee, con-
corning the investigation of the alleged
irregularities i'll the recent election. 1t

contest would b. made.
In the statement Of Chairman Hanns,
the charges of fraud, raScality and per-

Anne Arundel, Somerset and Worcester,
are reiterated. Among other things. Mr.
Hanna says in his report

SAW A SPECTRE.
Defendant In Chicago Trial Suffers
 Insane Attack.

Chicago, May 27-Choking and gasping and with eyes rolling with terror. Mahn- ken, accused of fraudulently identifying the body of Mrs. Frank R. Greensald an Iroquois fire victim, in order to steal her money, suddenly jumped to his feet in Judge Clifford's court room today and pointed franically at an imaginary spec tre, which he thought stood confronting him. While the spectators looked on in terror the man frothed at the lips and waved his arms wildly. He was overpow- cred and thrown to the floor. where it took half dozen police officers to hold him. Parxoysm after parxoysm shook him and he had to be manacled and taken into an anti-room.
 When quiet was finally restored Mahn- kens lawyer decided to let the case go to the jury without argument. Almost im- medately the twelve men filed back, the foreman announcing the verdict guilty if the insanity was feined 1t failed to move the judge. The technical charge against Mahnl1en was perjury and 1t was proved he had taken the body of Mrs Greenwald from a morgue and had it buried as his aunt. His motive was to gain possession of S40O found on the body.

The line also traverses one of the finest farming and agricultural sec- tions to be found in the south. Corres- pondence is solicited from those contem- plating the location of any kind of man. ufacturing enterprise or who may be prospecting for superior field for the purpose of tilling the soil.
