CULVER ON STAND.
He Related Several Instances to Prove
Hooker Was Irrational.

Rochester, N Y, July 2.--An at
tempt to show that Captain James IA
Hooker, was of unsound mind was
continued today in an effort to break
the will, which makes the United
States government and the city of
Galesburg, ILL.,, chief beneficiaries un-
der the will. John c. Culver, one of
the witnesses to the disputed will, re-
lated various incidents that seemed to
him to indicate that the testator was
irrational. One peculiar act testified to,
was a habit which the testator had, of
bringing a jug to Rochester every time
he came from the Iron Dequoit, filling
it will hemlock water, and claiming
some persons had poisoned the well on
his premises in town. The testator,
according to the witness, classed all
women with cats. In the opinion of
the witness Hooker's conduct for a
considerable period of years. was such
as to indicate an irrational condition
of mind.
