Be Of Sound Mind.

the United States army. was yesterday de-
clared to be Of sound mind by jury pre-
sided over by Justice Barnard, and his re-
lease from the Government Hospital for

military authorities from Arizona, where
he was serving In the cavalry branch of

listment expired and writ of habeas cor
pus was issued last week for his release
on the ground of alleged illegal commit
ment. Justice Barnard, at the hearing on
the habeaS corpus proceedings, as stated
in the Star at the time, held that if Kuhlcke
was still insane the incarceration in the
asylum was legal, but the justice suggested
that a jury should decide on the present
mental condition of Kuhlcke.
DR.. Robert Reyburn and DR.. Charles NJ
Emmons yesterday testified that Kuhlcke is
sane, but the asylum authorities contended
that he is still insane, suffering from per-
secutory decisions.
Kuhlcke took the stand in his own behalf
and easily persuaded the jury that he could
manage his own affairs and the verdict of
sane was rendered by the foreman.
Seven lunacy cases were tried yesterday
by Justice Barnard and jury. One. John
Adams, was discharged of sound mind
and the remaining siX-John c. Eccleston,
E. Maurice Cox. Thomas Adair Miller,

and committed to ST. Elizabeth's.
Adams, who was found to be of sound
mind. was Immediately taken in custody on
q charge of carrying concealed weapons,
1t being claimed that he was transferred
from the workhouse to the insane asylum

Insane Man in Cumberland.

Escaping from ST. Elizabeth's Hospital for
the Insane last Thursday. Joseph F. Holden,
twenty-one years old. whose home is at 4ss
l street southwest. made his way to Cum
berland, Md, where he called upon the po-
lice yesterday and asked to be given a place
where he could rest. His story to the police
was that he walked many miles of the dis
lance between here and Cumberland and he
was footsore and hungry. The young man
told the Cumberland police of his having
escaped from the asylum. and made the cir
cumstances Of his escape appear worse than
the real facts. For several years young
Holden was employed as clerk in a local
real estate office, and gave up his position
only q short time before he gave evidence
of trouble with his mind. The day before
he was arrested he attended an inquest at
the morgue and imagined himself news
paper reporter. The asylum authorities
were notified of his presence in Cumberland
and have sent an officer to return him to
the institution. 1t Is believed that Holden
was trying to make his way to Pennsyl-
vania to see his relatives.

old, met with a frightful accident this morn
ing. While working In the feed establish

stopped Scott lives at 1922 4th street north
west and is employed as a driver by Mr..
Pillsbury. This morning he was about the
store waiting for a load OF feed and thought
he would fill in the time by helping the man
on the cutting machine When his arm was
caught his creams were loud enough to at
tract the attention of all the other en-
poyes. The electrician shut off the current
as soon as he could, too late to prevent the
accident, but in time to prevent worse re-
sults.
Despite the serious nature of the injuries,
Scott was still conscious when taken to the
Emergency Hospital. The several sections
of his arm were taken to the hospital with
him, and observing them the injured man
remarked that he would have funeral
whether ne lived or died. The surgeons per-
formed an operation and at last accounts
they thought the patient would recover.
