the disease from which the senator is
suffering is asphasia, combined with
melanch0lia or morbid fear that every
body has turned against him.
The attack of asphasia, which is the
impairment or abolition of the faculty
of understanding or expressing spoken
or written language, independently of
any failure or paralysis of the facul-
ties. was first noticed about Christmas
time. The senator. it is reported here,
was suddenly seized while at dinner
one night. For a moment he was in

The first attack was but of short
duration. 1t was followed by other at
tacks that have lasted longer.

HEAR OTHER SIDE
Conclusion of the Testimony
Supporting the Claim
Of the Barclays.
Or. BUFORD ON THE STAND
Mrs. Merrifeld Told Him That Bleak
ley Child Was Not Dead
Shown the Babe.

Lawrence, Kans., Jan. 20.-With the
evidence of Mrs. James G. Barclay, CT
Moline, the Barclay side of the incuba
tor baby case was concluded in the
Barclay only confirmed previous testi-
mony as to her knowledge of the
child's maternity, and spoke of her at.
tachment for it.
The Bleakley side of the story was
begun with the evidence of DIR. Buford,
of St Louis, who testified that he Wis,
tied Mrs. Bleakley while she was in
Mrs. Merrifield's hospital, and that the
latter had told him that Mrs Bleak
ley's baby had not been born dead
and that the woman had been fooled,
and she showed the physician a baby,
which, she said, was Mrs. Bleakley's.
Did Not Relieve story.
On cross examination it was elected
that DR.. Buford did not believe the
woman's story; that he did not believe
the baby shown him was Mrs. Bleak
ley's, and that he left the hospital with
that impression. Subsequently, he
changed his mind
brother of Mrs. Bleakley was the
other witness of the day, and testified
that he had visited her while she was
in the hospital; described conditions
ne found there, and expressed the be-
lief that Mrs. Merrifield was trifiing
with Mrs. Bleakley, under the i'm
preston that the family was wealthy.
and that she could ''bleed" them for a
large sum to give them the baby.
Mr.. Bleakley left the hospital. it
was learned on cross examination.
without attempting to see the baby, or
endeavoring to learn whether the
statements made TO him were true
