HOW OIL TRUST
WIPED HIM OUT

Washington, June 2s.-Lawrence s:
Nicolai, a bankrupt oil merchant of
this city, in an examination before a
referee in bankruptcy here Tuesday,
testified that in 1895 a contract was
made between the Standard Oil com
pany and his brother and himself, op-
Grating in the oil business under the
firm name Of Nicolai Brothers, if they
would abandon their business.
Previous to this time for ten years
the firm had successfully conducted its
business in opposition to the Standard
Oil company. The amount agreed on,
Mr. Nicolai said, was paid annually
for ten years, or until January, 1905,
when, in the words Of the witness,
'sStandard Oil turned me down and
refused to renew the arrangement. They
found they could get along without
me, suppose, he added.
Mr.. Nicolai, turnout the examina-
ton, referred to himself as receiving
Hpension' from the Standard Oil
company, altho he admitted the con-
tract was made with his brother as
well.
After the termination of the con-
tract Mr.. Nicolai resumed the oil bust
ness under the name Of the National
Oil company, but was unable to make
1t a success.

Chicago, June 2s.-Dr. Archibald
Church, Chicago authority on mental
diseases, pronounced CDR John Al
exander bowie insane on the witness
stand in the federal court. DR.. Church
said:
i, Il should call Dowie's mental con-
not dementia, however, as far as l
know
DR.. Church had attended several SEES
sions of court when Dowie told of
seeing lights, of hearing celestial
music, of stopping a shipwreck and of
curing diseased persons with prayer.
In the course Of the cross examina-
tion he said man might be insane and
still have mental capacity to get
100000. But, he declared, he might
"make mess of it, at any time.
In answer to a hypothetical inquiry,
DR.. Church said:
"In my opinion he is unsound men
tally; undoubtedly Of unsound mind. -
You saw DR.. Dowie on the witness
stand; is he in your Judgment capable
to a aav' aFee et4 extent properly 'n
"He could not handle my property
In my mind he is not fit for respon-
sibility of any kind. -
What do you say as to the mental
condition of any man who would be-
lieve this man to be what he claimed
Elijah, the Restorer9" was asked on
cross examination.
"I should say it was purely a mat
ter Of faith, not Of logic or reasoning
The person might have the idea and
still not be of unsound mind.'
''Suppose this man should buy many
acres Of land, build up city and il
six or seven years make $6,0O0,O0(
or 100000 out Of his investment
would you call him insane9"
"He might be and still be able tt
carry on great business, still bein'
liable to make a mess of it at an.
| time'' go -
like this manu- -.
IL never saw a case of man O
such mental capacity in one direction
with such fixed hallucinations.'
