terday returned a verdict adiudging
Burge to be of sound mind.
James A. O'Snea, counsel for the de-
fense. made a motion for a new trial.
Justice Gould fixing Friday for argument.
Burge was once under sentence of
death. but vas granted a new trial after
his first conviction. Before sentence
could be pronounced against him. Burge
it was alleged, developed symptoms Of in
sanity
His case being called up for disposi-

D. K. Shute and P. S. Hunt. OF Washing
ton, and DR.. Brooke +. Beebe, CT Cincin-
nati, o. These physicians visited the Dis
trict Jail Saturday afternoon.
Their testimony yesterday went to show
that Burge was feigning insanity; that he
was aware of and could contrI his acts;
that he talked and acted like q rational
person when not aware that he was u-dsr
observation by Jail guards and attend
ants. but that he would sham insanity
when anybody asked him questions.
There were a number Of witnesses who
testified that they thought Burge of I'M

the mead with a stone when twelve years
Old; that in consequence he remained in
an unconscious state for two weeks. y
number Of cellmates of Burge, and former
guards In the District jail, also testified
as to Burgess queer actions.
Burge occupied a seat behind counsel,
and between three bai,iffs. He paid
close attention TO the proceedings, and
at times made comments on the testi-
mouy of witnesses. When he took the
stand. he replied TO the questions of his
attorney In wild. excited manner. in-

GOVERNMENT BROUGHT TO BAR
Uncle sam May Have Violated Rail-
road Rate Law.

In connection with the recently enacted
railway rate law. the question has arisen
whether or not the Federal government IS
not a violator cf its provisions when It
accepts for the carrying Of troops lower
rate Of transportation than private parties
are able to secure.
it is shown that both small and large
bodies of tToOps are at present being
transported by several different railway
and steamship lines at lower rates than
are granted to theatrical companies, cir
causes, and such.
The right OF transportation companies
TO grant party rates is not questioned ex-
cept where, as in the present case, Il Is
not made to apply 10 all alike. War De-
partment officials see no reason why their
present agreements with the railroads
should not continue. but pending deci-
sion by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion they do not care to discuss the mat
ter.
