INSANE MURDERER
RAVES OF CRIME
THINKS HE STRUGGLES WITH
ASSASSINS
Man Who Killed Wilson Becomes Mad
From Effects Of Liquor and Brood
ine-Threatens Violence
to Himself

Raving madly in his cell at the city
Jail. George w. Kennedy, who shot and
killed A. L. Wilson in a Main street
saloon Friday morning, was found vio-
lently insane yesterday.
With his mind filled with scenes of
murders, suicides and horrible reptiles
attacking him, the murderer threatens
violence to himself and all that ap-
proaches him.
AS the day progressed Kennedy be-
came more violent and last evening his
condition was such that the Jail author
tiles found it necessary to remove him
from the upper tanks" to the receiv-
ing hospital. Despite the efforts of the
police surgeons the mans condition be-
came such that they were forced to tie
him hand and foot in his bed in the
hospital.
Kennedy, II. Elmore and Wilson en-
tered the saloon shortly after midnight
and, according to bartender John Will
liams, the men were much under the
influence of intoXicants. After taking
q drink they ordered another round, but
the bartender refused. Kennedy de-
manded that Williams treat, but the
latter declined.
Maddened Man Shoots Companion
Angered, Kennedy drew revolver
from his pocket. fired one shot at Will
liams, but missed him. Then turning to
Wilson with whom he formerly had
been on i'll terms because of some mis-
directed racing tips and without n
word Kennedy shot his companion
next day.
Attracted by the shooting Patrolman
Daniels rushed to the scene of the af-
fair and found Kennedy lying on the
floor of the saloon apparently uncon-
scious. In removing him TO the city
Jail Kennedy revived and attempted to
escape. Since that time he has been
confined to the city Jail.
Loud cries of a maniac reached the
jailer yesterday afternoon. At first
no attention was paid to them, as the
jailer thought they were the rawlings
of drunken man. Later a call from
the matron revealed that Kennedy was
giving utterance to his feelings. A
close watch revealed that the man was
suffering from mental delusions.
Sees Awful Sights
Wild screams, followed by means
and curses, gnashing of teeth and hol-
low laughter brough the keepers of the
pIlSOneIS OIL lTt run iNtililtuy > ttt
late in the afternoon. With hair dis
heveled and eyes distended, the mur-
derer lay crouched in the darkest cor
ner.
Shoot. cut. try. but by all the powers
of hell you can't kill mel" he cried IN
response to a query to what he was do
ing.
Then like a scene in an awful tragedy
the insane murderer enacted a struggle
with an imaginary victim. Again he
changed. His features. formerly an
ashen hue, turned white. He was be-
ing attacked by the most awful Great
ures of the Internal regions-and so he
continued to rave.
In speaking of the case one of the
police surgeons said last evening that
he thought the condition of Kennedy S
mind was due to overindulgence in
liquor and the thoughts of his crime
combined. The doctor considered him
in a serious condition, but believed he
would recover.

BY Associated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. ia shud-
der of horror has convulsed Russia.
The government claims 1t has given
battle only to the "red" revolutionists,
but the populace generally believe
that the white Terror has returned.
Already the leaders of the proletariat
agitation who escaped capture Satur-
day night at the economic society and
even men of the rank of Prof. Milukoff
are in hiding from the police who are
hunting them down. The government
evidently anticipates battle royal and
has made it's disposition accordingly.
1t fully understands that the proie-
tariat will give blow for blow in answer
to the wholesale arrests.

critics are reactionary officials of tho
old regime the advantage they will
take of such power to terrorize the
populace can be easily imagined, they
being in a position to become petty
tyrants and wage war each in his own
particular fashion against the revo-
lutionists.

Question of SakhaIin Island.
This afternoon, in the ordinary
course Of proceedings, the first great
stumbling block to treaty of peace
should be reached, as after Port Ar
thur and the leases of Lao Tung,
which are included in article 4 and
which M. White is undoubtedly pre-.
pared with slight notifications to ac-
cept. comes article 5-the cession of
Sakhalia. But it is by no means GER
tain that when this obstacle is
reached, it will not be postponed until
all the articles upon which agreement
is easy or possible are disposed Of.
If this course is followed, and the AS
sociated Press has high authority for
the opinion that it will be, it will in
dictate a disposition to put off the real
struggle to the very last, and the
longer the conference endures the
brighter the prospects of treaty are
likely to become every day they

In the discussion of the second ar
ticle covering the evacuation of Man
churia) it is positively stated that
Russia won victory. Baron Komura,
SO it is declared, wanted to limit the
obligation to evacuate Manchuria and
to surrender special privileges in the
province to Russia, whereas M. White
contended that the obligation for
evacuation and the surrender of spe-
cial privileges should be mutual and
that the evacuation of the troops
should take place concurrently NJ.
White is said to have contended that
be was defending not only the inter-
ests Of Russia, but of all the neutral
powers. On the other hand, the Japa-
nese claim not only that they did not
resist the provision for simultaneous
| evacuation by the troops Of both coun-
tries, but claim the distinct credit for
The strong stipulations regarding the
preservation of the territorial integ
rity of China.
1t seems to be taken for granted
among the attaches Of both the Japa-
nese and Russian missions that there
will be no general battle in Man
chura while the peace negotiations
IRE on.
