JUDGE SPRUANCE EXPLAINS
States Some Facts Regarding The Case
Of Howard Trusty.

In the Court of General Sessions on
Tuesday, Howard Trusty colored, was
sentenced to be whipped with ten
lashes and be imprisoned six months
for stealing a loaf of bread. It was
stated in the local papers that the
judges remarked the charge looked very
light. but they had been informed that
Trusty made a practice Of stealing
bread and milk from doorsteps.
Judge Spruance i'm speaking to a re-
porter for The Evening Journal about
the matter explained that the state
ments in the papers were misleading
in regard to Trusty making a habit Of
stealing bread and milk and desired to
have them corrected. He explained
that when the case came up, the court
inquired Of the Attorney-General the
circumstances, to find out If it was
merely a case of a man stealing on ac-
count of hunger. The court was inform
ed, however that there was positive
evidence of thefts of other loaves of
bread and bottles of milk in the same
vicinity and at the same time, in ad-
dition to the loaf of bread. that Trusty
pleaded guilty to stealing.

INSANE PATIENTS DANCE
BALL GIVENAT FARNHURST
Amusing, Though Pathetic
Affair Held at State In
stitution

At the State Hospital at Farnhurst
last evening an amusing though pa
thetic sight was witnessed, the event
being the annual masquerade ball
given by the management to the insane
patients.
Only those who are demented in the
milder form are permitted to take part
lin the festivities and for days and
weeks previous to the occasion their
clouded minds turn toward this break
in their lives with the zest of child
looking forward to Christmas-tide.
These dances have been given for
several years past and have proven a
great treat to the unfortunates After
every event costumes are stored ten
derly away for the occasion and as
the time draws near for the succeeding
one they are agaiH brought forth, the
wrinkles pressed out bits of ribbon and
trinkets tackled on here and there with
the glee end pleasure of childhood.
The event last night was in no wise
different from those of former years
with the exception of a few new faces
in the, to them, maddening whirl of the
music. The same childish antics were
gone through with and the same steps
repeated ana perhaps midst the strains
Of the instruments and the glare of
the lights some faint recollection OF
days before affiiction set its seal upon
them may have passed through their
lclouded brain. During the day spec
ial dinner was served at the hospital
which was thoroughly enjoyed by all
and when night came the music ceased
and the lights went out they retired
to their beds happy and content to
dream-of what?
