story of DR.. JekyH and Mr.. Hyde is
found in the case, of DR.. r. w. Ste
ger, of New York, a former Chico
goan, who attempted to commit sui

longer to endure the fortunes between
the conflicting instincts of a dual ma

normal condition, Dr. Steger is man
of good instincts, well educated, in
comfortable circumstances and with
the breeding which was his birthright
as a. member of prominent Alabama
family. He is a graduate of Van
derbilt and Columbia universities,
and former college professor.
When possessed by his unnatural self
he has suffered agonies from the eff
feet Of homicidal and suicidal ma
MIA.
Declaring he could not endure the
struggle longer, he wrote letter an
alyzing his condition, and claiming
that under the circumstances suicide
was his moral right Under such
conditions, he contended, a man was
justified in ending his life.

tinuation OF the trial OF Mrs. Cooper on
the charge OF murder II was expected the
cross-examination OF DR.. A. r.. G.. Smith

DR.. Smith testified as TO the methods
employed in performing the autopsy on
Northey. at which he assisted DR. Sturte-
want. and his examination was OF very
exhaustive nature.
- Counsel for the respondent asked how
many people and who the physicians were
whom he saw at South Windsor immedi-
ately before aud after the autopsy
County Attorney Leigh objected. contend
ing that the question had no material
bearing on the case.
Counsel Heath claimed the questions
were OF the utmost Importance and stated
that he would 80 show before the end OF
the trial. Witness then replied he did not
know who the persons were nor how many
he saw.

PULAJANES
ARE V|SCAYANS
GONE WRONG .

Washington. March 29-Though the
Philippine census fails TO disclose the
number Of Pulajanes on the island OF
Samar who are now being pursued by
the constabulary under the lead Of Gov.
Curry. I'm retaliation for the attack upon
his party recently It is estimated by Of
ficers In the war department who have
been stationed on the island that there
are not TO exceed 250O of these people
in the mountain Businesses.
They are not. as commonly supposed.
a race OF themselves. but as explained
by one OF these army officers the Pula-
james are really only Viscayans who have
gone wrong" They are people who were
once under the Spanish religious influence
but have retrograded into n state OF bar
barism; have taken TO the mountains and
live I'm large part by preying upon the
tolers in the agricultural sections. To
use a church term. they have back
slid"
In the opinion OF army officers here II
will be no easy task for Gov. Curry to
subdue these Pulajanes because they are
like the American Indians In the Bad
Lands and are greatly assisted by their
women, who travel back and forth into
the towns bringing out supplies Of rice
and other necessaries despite the watch
fulness Of the American troops and native
guards.
