GIRL FRIEND BELIEVED
SIDNEY SLOANE INSANE

in many ways an unnatural child.
Mrs. Cowan, called next. said
she had known the Sloanes since
1899. She had observed Sidney
closely, as he spent considerable
time at her house, and from her
observations had come to the con.
clusion that he was insane.
Jack Quinn, theatrical man, was
called by the defense late yester-
day afternoon to testify as to Sid
ney Sloane's mental condition. He
became acquainted with the boy in
1900, while employed at the Audi
forum. From his experience with
Sidney at that time he formed the
opinion that the boy was insane.
Numerous incidents in support of
this conclusion were related by the
witness. He said Sidney wanted
him to construct scenery for the
alter which the boy wanted to
build at Natatorium park. He had
ordered young Sloane off the stage
several times and once refused to
ring the curtain because of
Sloane's behavior in a box he &C.
cupied. Sidney was warm ad.
mirer of Mrs. Matte Choates, of
the Bittner company, and talked of
building theater in New York at
which she would appear as leading
lady. Mrs. Choates had a son older
than Sidney. The last witness for
the day wls Miss Jessie Cowing
who came from Ann Arbor, where
she is attending school, to testify
She was well acquainted with Sid
ney and the Sloane family. Miss
Cowing told of the boys plans for
going to Europe and Joining Sir
Henry Irving's company. On the
Sunday before the elder Sloane
was killed she saw Sidney. His
conversation at that time was wild
and irresponsible, being devoted to
his belief that he would soon be a
millionaire.
Attorney Robertson yesterday
afternoon entered an objection to
Deputy Sheriff Hone serving any
more subpoenas on the ground
that Hone is questioning prospec-
tive witnesses in the interests OF
the prosecution. Prosecuting At.
torney Barnhart replied that Hone
was working under direction of
the county office in gathering evi.
dence and not exceeding his rights
as an officer. The controversy
arose over the Introduction of
Peter Ban, of Wallace. The prose
cution made an attempt to i'm
peach his testimony to an opinion
that Sidney Sloane is insane
claiming Ban had told Hone prev
iously that he had no reason to be.
lieve the boy unbalanced. Yester-
day he cited numerous instances
that influenced his opinion of the
boys insanity while a companion
of Sidney's at the mines.
In ruling on Robertson's OBJ
lection Judge Huneke held that
the prosecuting attorney, as the
peoples representative. had the
right to use the sheriff's Office in
investigating cases, but as Hone
was working under direction of the
prosecution he directed the sheriff
to detail another deputy to serve
subpoanas.
