Eyewitness to Murder Taken to Asy-
lum-Insane From Fright.

NEW YORK, January 6.-The climax OF
one of the strangest psychopathlc cases
with which the New York state medical au-
thorities have ever had to deal came to-
night when Frank Wisnewski young
Polish stable boy. who had been detained
as witness in the mysterious shooting
case in which DR.. j. W. Simpson, a New
York dentist, is accused OF killing his
father-in-law, BARLEY T. Horner. at North
port, L. l., was taken to the Long Island
State Hospital for the Insane, at Kings
Park.
The boy was an eyewitness to the trag-
edy. and was accounted the states most
important witness in the hearing of Dr.
Simpson, which was begun this week
Badly frightened by the tragedy itself,
Wisnewski was thrown into a state of ter
ror when taken into custody by the North
port authorities and held as witness. He
soon lapsed into a sort of stupor Or coma,
from which he was aroused with difficulty.
His condition necessitated a postponement
of the Simpson hearing until next Mon
day, by which time 1t was hoped the boy
would have recovered from his fright.
Wednesday night Wisnewsfd became vio-
lent and attacked his guards. He made a
bitter fight to get to an open window. but
finally was overcome by the four men pres
ent to watch him. Yesterday he became

a millionaire walked from 50th street to

Capt Willard left the Hotel Buckingham
after dinner for a stroll and to call on
friends at the Manhattan Club He had not
walked two blocks when one of his shoe
laces broke. He would have given a lot just
then for shoestring. but he couldn't find

and restaurants and hotels, but no place
where he thought he could find shoestring
or where he dared ask for one without ex-
pecting a laugh at his expense
1T beats me- he told the policeman at
42d street, how in such a great city one
can go begging for such necessary thing
as shoestring. Please help me out.

Surgeons in Charge.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON. January 6.-After a thorough
study of the character OF the injuries re-
ceived by foot ball players DR.. E. H. Nichols
and DR. H B. Smith, the surgeons in charge
of the Harvard foot bali squad during the
past season, are seemingly in their conclu-
sions strongly against foot ball.
In their article which appears in the cur
rent number of the Boston Medical and Sur
gical Journal, Physical Aspect of Ameri-
can Foot Ball. the game is said to have
too great a percentage of injuries, large
part Of which are unavoidable. and 1t does
not develop the best type of men physically.
After discussion of the injuries and a
comparison of foot ball injuries with in
juries received In other sports. the doctors
arrived at the following conclusions: The
number severity and permanence of the in
1uries received In playing foot ball are very
much greater than generally credited or be-
lieved. The greater number of the injuries
come In the pile, ana not in the open plays,
although serious injuries are received In the

Marzoni Denies Hazing Reports.

With the opening of the afternoon session
Midshipman Marzoni was called to the
stand by his counsel. He absolutely denied
that he had hazed Roberts or ever knew
him. He said that Tye had brought him
so doing and Tye did not appear to make
any objection to this. He only knew of
two occasions when Tye had brought him
food. Bryant had also brought him food
and a glass of milk. 1t had been done
under the same circumstances as in Tye's
case. Upper clasSmen, he said, had often
done the same thing, and there had been
no difference in the circumstances under
which they had been done He had helped
Bryant with his Spanish he said
M2rZOni then absolutely denied that he
had compelled Bryant to stand on his mead,
as alleged in the specification He said
that he had never stood a fourth-class man
on his head, and did not believe it proper
thing to do. On ross-eXamination he said
that he had never in any way caused a
fourth-class man to stand on his head
When asked for explanation of Bry-
ants testimony, MarZoni said he could not
explain it, except to say that Bryant was
mistaken.
The accused mfdshipman was then asked
in regard to the bringing of breakfast to
his room by "Plebes' Tye and Bryant. He
said that both boys were from the same
section of the country as himself, and that
it was the custom among southern mid
shipmen to be on a friendlier footing than
others He had requested the youths, not
ordered them to bring his breakfast when
he was not down, and they had done SO.
The defense commended strongly that the
under cIassmen did these things as cour-
tesy to MarZonf and act of friendship
and not under compulsion.

Mexico on the Map in a Big Way
R. R. Deal Pending.

The Bloomington (Ill.) Bulletin
prints the following:
Until George j. Gould began to
realize the joining of all the Gould
lines from Baltimore to San Fran
cisco there was no substantial pro-
ject for an American transconti-
mental route. The Canadian Pa
cific is the only North American
railroad that stretches across the
country from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, aud for several years this
Canadian line has been sole and
supreme as a transcontinental sys'
tenn.
Harriman's plan, which is now
maturing, to give control of the
Baltimore & Ohio system, the Nor
folk & Western, the Chesapeake
& Ohio and the Chicago & Alton
to the Union Pacific, will material
ize the first transcontineutal line
in the United States.
By acquiring the B. & o., ex'
tending from St.Louisto the Allan
tic seaboard, and the Chicago & AL
ton extending from st. Louis to
Kansas City, Hartman will form a
transcOntinutal route as if by
magic. The system will be com
plete at once.
The road would put Mexico OIL
