Skin Of New York Men Perforated as
Test to Prove Loss Of
Sensation. /;

New York.-One Of the most start
ling exhibitions ever seen in a court
room room was given a few days ago before
Judge Edward B..Thomas and jury
in the United States circuit court in
Brooklyn, when Joseph Lipsitz was
barred to the waist and white hot
needle was applied to the skin in
more than SO places. The purpose OF
the exhibition was to show that there
was complete anaesthesia and Lipsitz
never fiinched as the needle burned
its way into the flesh. Il &
Lipsitz, who now lives in New Bos-
ton, Mass, was a passenger on New
York, New Haven & Hartford train
on March 81, and in a collision near
Waterbury, Conn, was thrown from
his seat. He sustained an injury to
the spinal cord affecting the sensory
nerve SO that it was alleged there was
complete anaesthesia of the body
below the neck
He brought an action to recover $780,
600 damages, and the case was on trial
at the time the experiment took place.
It being agreed by the attorney for
the railroad company to have the
demonstration before the jury, Lip
sitz' back was barred, and Dr.. Richard
M. Burke, the attending physician,
produced an instrument similar to one
used BY Photographers in burning wood
and leather. It was a steel needle.
heated by q benzine fame and bulb,
and the needle was at a white heat
when It was applied. Lipsitz did not
make the slightest move when ii was
applied.

INDICTED FOR RELATING.
New York Grand Jury Returns Seven
True Bills for Violation of
Antitrust Laws. j3.3

New York, May THE April federal
eral jury completed it's investigation
into sugar rebating anu handed down
seven indictments and a presentElent.
The indictments are against the fol-
lowing: The New York Central rail-
road; the American Sugar Refining
company; the New York Central &
Hudson River Railroad company, and
Nathan Guilford, vice president; u.
Goodlee Edgar and Edwin Earle,
wholesale sugar dealers of Detroit,
Mich; F. L. Pomeroy.. general traffic
manager. \, a#
The first six indictments were
found under the "Elkins antitrust
LAY" which provides penalties of a
fine not exceeding $4,000, Or irpris-
onment not exceeding two years, for
giving, granting, applying for, or ac-
cepting any rebate or concession from
the regular freight rates, as published
by railway company as a common
carrier. u
The seventh Indictment, found
against Guilford, Pomeroy, Edgar and
Earle, charges them with having col
lectiYely conspired to violate the pro-
vision Of the Elklns antitrust law.
The grand jury recommends that
the investigation be continued by its
successor, intimating that indications
point to the possibility that other
common carriers may be equally cuip-
able with the indicted roads.

PUss PLAYED THE PIANO.
Household Disturbed by Uncanny
Performance in the Still
Hours Of Night.

Rising Sun, Pa. - When Jacob
Houseman's piano began apparently
to play itself in his parlor, near Eagle
Point, the other night, Jacob reluctant
~ got out of bed, reached for his gun
and declared:
well, if it is ghosts, wen have it
out right now"
Descending the stairs cautiously on
tiptoe, he silently opened the parlor
door, only to find that the piano, right
there before him, kept on playing,
without finger on the keys!
His first impulse was to blaze away.
but he thought of the cost Of the
piano and of the feelings of his
aroused family upstairs, and discretion
got the better of his valor.
He cautiously opened the top Of the
piano, and out jumped the gladdest
cat that was ever released from mu.
steal thralldom of the other sort.
Puss had evidently 1.smelled mouse, %
and thought she smelled it in the
piano. Observing her mistake. she
had pranced across the hammers and
wires in the most unconventional
fashion Il t..9

No Amdavits.

None of these statements was sworn to.
The chief of police called on various men
who had anything to do with it or saw it,
and they made statements, but they were
not cross-examined. There was no ev.den
of any kind worth while ever shown the
President, and he seems to have been very
Indifferent to whether he had the facts
or not, because he must have known that
these newspaper men We're there, and he
had no reason to single out Paine and ask
him for his memorandum or statement and
leave the other four or five unquestioned. l
do not mean, of course. to say that he had
no right to do as he did, but he did not
seem to care to arrive at the truth.
In regard to the dragging and the sit
ting down, Major Sylvester In letter
which he sent to Mr. Loeb or to the Presi-
dent states that Mrs. Morris called him
up over the telephone the next morning
after she had escaped from the cletches
OF his tender and kind officers, and told
him that she tainted when she got to the
doorstep and did not recover consciousness
for some time.
With the woman fainting and limp and
so heavy to carry in the performance or
this duty, she was carried out In an In
decent and brutal way. Was II possible
that men with mothers were so little
thoughtful of good woman!
Cruel insanity Charge.
Should not these men have taken cog
seriousness and was not able to stand up or
walk even with their help?
Mr. Frech the polimeman. Barnes
brother-in-law. who had arrested her, aft
erward lodged charge of insanity against
her Frech either thought then or he
very soon afterward thought. because some
one suggested 1t to him. that the woman
was insane. Frech saw 18th street less than
thirty yards away, on his left. as he went
out of the room with this woman. He
could just as easily have stopped and held
on to her to comply with this bogus or
imaginary rule Of rhe police department
which compels q policeman, once he has
put his hands on q person. to complete the
arrest and die charges He could have
called for q cab by telephone to come to
that place as we'll as at the other end OF
Madison place. next to the treasury, 200
yards away, and he could have performed
his duty Just as effectually and more In ac-
cord with decency and the rules of civilixed
society and OF law ana order.
I have pointed out In extracts from these
statements showing the repetition by one
man after another. both inside OF the mousse
and outside, that she was not drng9ed Tho

trary 70 say was Ms Th0rnburgh. the

Barnes Statement Read.

He would never have brought the subject
up again. he said, had not the man respon-
sble for that brutality been nominated to
be postmaster of this city. He recited that
he had been unable to secure an investga-
ton of the case In order that the Senate
might act intelligently on the nomination
He then read Mr.. Barnes statement of
the circumstances attending the ejectment
OF Mrs. Norris from his point of view. He
also had read the voluntary statement of
Elmer f. Paine, written shortly after the
occurrence.
Mr.. Paine Is one of the witnesses whom
l asked to have summoned" said Mr. TILL
man. He one of the six newspaper
men who were in and around the executive
offices when this transactiontook place and
one of the remarkable things about il is
that he is the only one who ever had any
thing to say about IL outside of his own
newspaper or in private converse ton be-
cause, while an investigation or a pretense
of an investigation was ordered by the SUI
perintendent and chief of police at the
command of the President. this newspaper
man, one among six, was the only one who
was permitted or asked to give any state
ment."
Senator T'illman here referred to The
Stars interest in seeing justice was done in
this case.
II wish to call attention to some things
In Mr.. Paine's statement" he continued
before she was arrested or just after she
was arrested. he said: Finally. however,
she dropped to the pavement in a sitting
posture. Then he goes ON to say. Seem
ingly they tthe policemen) did their best to
protect her clothing from the mud and wa
ter. but, In the circumstances. that was not
entirely possible
Further on he volunteers the opinion
which was an act of temerity on his part,
I presume:
MY opinion Is that she ought to have
been released when the officers got her out
side OF the entrance to the Offices but I'M.
derstand that the police regulations provide
for the action OF officers In such cases. and
had they released her they would have laid
themselves liable to a suit for assault, once
having placed their hands upon her
AT the close he says.
Mr. Barnes did all fAat he could have been
expected to do to avoid scene. He treated
Mrs. Morris In quiet and dixnified man
ner. and time and axain urged her NOT to
make any trouble. He might hayA permit
ted her TO retain her asat In the executive
Office reception room. but. In my Judgment
his action in that REGARD was purely mat
ter OF opinion. He thought Mira. Morris was
insane. as have learned since. ana her
action and manner 1t 10 only just to say.

Policemen Shield Each Other.

Her clothes were ruined caused by sit
ting down in the mud says Murphy. The
negro was there. They did not deem 1t
worth while to ask him wether he had
caught hold of her ankles or not, nor did
they ask. Mr.. Barnes says they picked up
her purse and back comb or something like
that. Did he ask what had become of the
money in her purse? She told me she had
81 or IS in it and that when she arrived at
the house OF detention it was gone. Mr..
Sloan says she stood on the Sidewalk.
Stephen A. Connell-these are secret service
Sloan says she stood the sidewalk.
Bramlett policeman who was looking on
or taking some part In 1t, says-I have no
time to read all the various so-called aft
davits' of these policemen who were evil
IDENTIFY endeavoring to shield each other and
make the best OF a bad case-says the
negro draped her feet or covered her feet
with her clothes. One of these policemen
said she tried to bite and scratch
Another one said she tried to claw Mr..
Frech in the face Mr.. Frech himself says
that she had gloves on. as any well-dressed
scratching or clawing' was therefore i'm
possible.
Mr.. Clifford Pinchot who was In one
Of the offices, came to the door when
the shrieking began, and in his state
ment he says she was not dragged Maj.

 Executive Department,
 Mayors Office,
 Waterbury, April [, 1906. A. w. Paige, Esq, Counsel for Conn R. and l.. Co:
 James M. Lynch, Esq, Counsel for Town Plot Improvement Society. Gentlemen: In relation to the propositions made to me yesterday concerning the compromise of the conditions imposed upon the Connec- ticult Railway and Lighting Co by the city in the matter of it's applfca- ton to lay a single track through Robbins street, offering the amount .of S12,000, to be accepted in full of the company's share of the expense .of improving Robbins street. accord ing to plans already adopted by the city, I would say that l have care fully considered the proposition and find that it is one that l do not feel that can, in fairness, recommend to the board of aldermen.
 The city engineer informs me that the total expense of the improvement is not less than 37,000, in his judg- ment. consequently it seems to me that under all the circumstances the offer of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co is an inadequate one. Very truly yours.
 W. E. THOMS, Mayor.
