SIDNEY SLOANE
GIVEN HIS LIFE
Spokane Boy Who Slew His
Father Cleared on the
Ground of Insanity.
VERDICT VERY UNPOPULAR
WILL PROBABLY BE SENT TO
ASYLUM.

Spokane, Wash, Dec 24-''Not guilty
by reason of insanity" was the verdict
returned at 9:15 o'clock this morning by
the jury in the case of Sidney Sloane,
the 1s-year-old boy charged with the
brutal murder of his father, James F.
Sloane. pioneer merche Mt of Spokane.
The trial, which has lasted five weeks,
was the longest and most sensational
ever held In Spokane county. 1t was
clearly proved that on the night of Aug.
20 the boy came behind his father, who
was eating a midnight lunch, and
struck him six terrible blows on the
head with an ak; then took money from
the dead mans pocket, picked up the
corpse, carried it downstairs, loaded it
into wheelbarrow, trundled it about
two blocks and dumped the body of
his father In an alley. Returning, he
made clumsy efforts to wash the blood
from the rugs and floor of the room. He
ate part of an apple and calmly went
to bed.
Confessed His Crime.
When the body was found next morn
ing he was quickly arrested and con-
fessed the crime. He said he became
enraged at things his father said about
his mother.
shown signs of insanity from infancy
For the first time during the trial
Sidney Sloane changed color as the
verdict was read. The color mounted
his face TO his forehead, but a moment
later he was as calm and passive as
ever. His mother, as the import of the
verdict was brought home to her. gave
sigh of relief that was audible in
every part of the court room. Her face
changed color and then she bent over
and hid her face in her hands.
Verdict Unpopular.
No verdict ever given by a jury in
Spokane county has been received with
more evident disfavor than that i'm the
Sloane case. An insanity verdict was
almost beyond the hopes of even the
prosecution, and the result was heard
with surprise and greeted with dissat-
isfaction here
There is wild talk of tar and feathers
for the jury and lynching for the boy
but no real danger that either will oc-
cur.
After the verdict of mot guilty.
young Sloane arose as if to leave the
court room, but was stopped. His at
tOrney, F. c. Robertson, desires that
the boy shall be sent to the insane asy-
lum, and this will doubtless be done.

TENDENT KIMBALL.

washington, Dec 24.-Important work

the nfe-saving service of the government
thousands of imperiled lives and millions
OF dollars worth of property being saved
through the heroism and unremitting vigil
lance of the life savers.
General Superintendent Kimball of the
life saving service shows in his annual
report that the number of marine disas-
tiers was $40 in the waters of the United

stations. of which 200 were on the At
lantic coast, 60 on the Great Lakes, 1 on
the Pacific coast proper and 1 each at
the falls of the Ohio river and Nome.
Alaska. The lfe-saving crews rendered
assistance of more or less importance 70
3S vessels in addition to those which
were lost. Patroimen and station look
outs also warned 81 steamers and II sail
ing vessels which were running into dan
ger.
Particularly valuable assistance, it is
noted, was rendered by the life-saving
quake and conflagration last April in
fighting the fire, transporting supplies
and sheltering the homeless.
Gasoline Iifeboats.
Superintendent Kimball says that dur
ing the year seven of the largest sized
lifeboatS have been equipped with gasoline

ant addition to the life-saving equipment
and materially enlarge the radius of the
effective work of the crews.
Superintendent Kimball points out that
the great service rendered has cost the
government only s1,SS2, As. He urges
strongly that the benefits of retirement be
given to officers and men of the service
who become disabled through injury or
disease or incapacitated by age.
