INCENDIARY is INSANE
j T. Brain, Pyromaniac, Will Be Sent
to Highland or Back
to Illinois

]. T. Brain was yesterday adjudged
insane in department two of the su-
perior court and committed to the in
stitution at Highland until such time
as arrangements can be perfected to
send him to Illinois. which is his legal
residence.
The hearing before Judge Gibbs de-
veloped the fact that Brain had pre-
viously been incarcerated in the Illi-
nois state institution at Elgin on the
ground that he possessed an insane de-
sire for incendiarism. His family
thinking that perhaps a change of To-
cation and climate would benefit him
sent him to California, but the change
was OF no benefit and Brain was soon
in the tolls of the law for burning
buildings.
He is a mere boy, being seventeen
years of age, and the expert medical
testimony yesterday developed the fact
that he is wholly abnormal and a hope
less degenerate. Drs. Brainard ana
j. W. Campbell testified for the state
and upon their testimony Brain was
declared insane and not criminally re-
sponsible for his acts.

Warrant Is Issued for His Arrest.
FugltIve's Mother Was on the

Justice Chambers court room was
we'll filled with witnesses and spec

case of j. H. Segger came up for trial
on a charge of failure to support his
pretty little wife and baby, but the
defendant did not make his appear
ance.
A bench warrant was issued for his
arrest and the bail bond was ordered
forfeited.
Mrs. Segger paced up and down the
court room with her baby Mildred in
her arms waiting for the alleged rec
reant husband to appear.
His lawyer finally said that he was
afraid that Segger had decided not to
make any defense. He had notified the
young man to be in court but from
what he had learned he thought the
youthful husband had concluded to
keep away.
NeeIectfuI of Her

she said to the prosecuting attorney,
"but L want him to provide for Mil
dred."
1t was said that the young mans
mother had provided for her son to
some extent and went on his bail bond
at the arraignment.
'It is one of those cases which the
law cannot help much" said City Pros
ecutor Beebe. "The forfeited bail bond
of 5000 will not aid Mrs. Segger to
provide for herself and baby. Such
cases are always very pitiable.''
Counsel for the defense intimated
that the young husband could tell a
different story of the alleged abuse
and neglect if he were in court but
the bailiff called his name in the cor
ridors without any response.

Frank Palomares, assessment clerk

yesterday showing that since Decem-
ber /, 1905 to March 81, 1906, $101, $3.50. 20

for improving streets.
The board considers this a most ex-

of the fact that it was during this
time the council and the mayor were at
loggerheads over the appointment of a
board of public works.
AS result of the controversy great
number Of public Improvements were
tied up and some of the work held
