TO BE TRIED MONDAY.
Negro Who Used Razor so Freely to
Be Placed Before Jury.

Cyrus Haygood, the colored man
who MADE three attempts at murder
on Thursday night, by attacking Mr..
and Mrs. E. E. Coons at 719 Van Buren,.
street, and later David Brewer at SIS
West Tenth avenue. and slashing them
all badly with a razor. viii be tried for
his sanity on Monday morning before
Probate Judge Hayden.
Haygood wanted an attorney to de-
fend him, and asked to be given until
the first day of next week. The court
granted the delay. Sheriff Lucas thinks
he is crazy. though the police officers
feel that his motive at the Coons resi-
dence was robbery, and that he ought
to be punished for 1t.
Haygood still insists that he is in
nocent of any wrong intention, and
that he went into these places for pro
lection. "All Of them got after me,
he said today, and I cut at them just
for self protection. I hear that they
are getting along well. I'm so glad OF
that Nobody knows how sorry I am
for what I did If I could fix it up in
any way I would be so glad to do it.
just went into these places to save my.
self from the people who 1 felt were
after me-"
The prisoner is confined at the coun-
ty jail and is very easy to handle. He
makes no disturbance whatever. and
talks readily. He listens intently to
everything that is said.
81 think the man is crazy" said
Sheriff Lucas "He thinks that some
body is after him I guess he ought
to be sent to the asylum"
HE is too sane on most things
said Sergeant Gardiner Of the police
force, ito look very crazy to me-"
The officers ascertained on Friday
afternoon that HaygoOd had a razor at
Kennedy's drug store, 1875 Kansas
avenue on Thursday evening. One of
the clerks from the store identified him
last night and he admitted the pur-
chase. He first said he had carried
the razor a long while. This part of
the story makes some of the officers
feel that Haygood went into the Coons
place for robbery and had premedi-
tated it bv buying the razor a few
hours before Yet the same fact can
the blade for the purpose Of protect
ing himself from his imaginary enc
mics.
A formal warrant was sworn out
against Havgood this morning charg-
/ ing him with insanity The trial will
be held on Monday morning at 9
O'Clock, Judge HAYDEN presiding
The condition of Mr.. and Mrs. Coons

AFTER DEVLlN MINES.
Receiver Bradley Says Some One Is
Trying to Get Control.

Is an attempt being made to secure
control Of the Devlin coal companies by
a clique Of interested parties?
Receiver James -. Bradley, of the
First National. which holds some of the
bonds of these companies states that
there is well defined attempt to buy
the bonds and that it is being done pro
badly with the intention of ultimately
securing control of these same mines
Cyrus Leland, one of the trustees for
the Devlin estate, claims on the other
hand that it is a mirage and that he
has had no intimation that anybody
wants to purchase the bonds.
Il don't know why Mr.. Bailey should
want to make a statement Of that sort -
said Mr.. Leland.
''Well, can't help what Mr. Leland
may say said Mr.. Bradley. but there
is well defined attempt nevertheless
to buy the bonds of these companies.
don't know who the parties are but
there is an Intermediary working and
representing these other parties.
I'VE have asked the federal court to
permit the referee to place some sell
ing value on these bonds which the Dank
holds and I understand that the court
has granted the request
The bonds which the First National
holds are as follows:
Crawford County Coal company $685.
600: Toluca, Marquette and Northern
Railroad company, $4,000; Devlin- Mil
Ter Coal company. S9S COO; Marquette,
Spring Valley and Northwestern Rail-
road company, $4,000. The values which
appear on the above bonds were placed
there upon the estimate made by the
trustees.
The purchase of the Devlin coal mines
in Kansas by the Central Coal and Coke
company of Kansas CITY, would give to
what has been termed the coal trust of
the Missouri valley the supreme posi-
