solution Of the case. But two months
under the guidance of the experienced
attorney-at-law had made an absolute
ly positive change for the better. The
miserable life of the prisoner was
saved by a method that is only. too
often applied in cases which are con-
sidered desirable. The defendant, in
stead Of being put to death, is now
serving a life sentence in Sing Sing.
There are others of his kind there.
Nobody knows that better than does
the shrewd Connaughton, the principal
keeper of the prison, or, as he Is often
called, the "P. K"
1t Is not always that the murderer
succeeds in carrying his shamming
game to a successful termination.
recall well the case of Policeman VIII
liam H. Ennis. His Is considered the
most remarkable OF all the shamming
cases that ever came under the OBJ
servation of the officials in Sing Sing.
Ennis was Brooklyn policeman. He
was a married man, and as far as his
police record went good policeman.
But he would get drunk, and when he
was in his cups there was no telling
what he would not do.
; The bluecoat and his wife did not
get along well. Some said 1t was q
case of too much mother-in-law.
whether that be true or not Ennis
shot and killed his wife, and then shot
his mother-in-law, who recovered.
When arrested Ennis slammed SUI
cidal mania. He was put on trial,
nevertheless. His defense was insan-
ity. He was convicted. Throughout
the entire trial the fellow sat beside
his counsel as though in a trance. His
lawyer pleaded and pleaded with great
earnestness. Alienists swore the DO
/ liceman WAS surely mad. HIS friends
alho testified that IN their opinion he
was Of unsonnd mind. Ennis never
said Z word. There were many IN that
crowded courtroom Who. after looking
at the man. insisted that he was surg

y
~ . fit subject for An insane asylum.
They called him the CRAZY COP"
But the district attorney won his
point The Jury found the policeman
guilty of murder in the first degree.
There was nothing else for the judge
to do than to sentence the man to be
electrocuted at Sing Sing. Ennis heard
the sentence and acted as though he
did not know what was happening.
They took him to Sing Sing. He was
weak and broken in health. He was
placed in one Of the steel cages In the
death house and there the man sat, In
almost utter silence, for nearly two
years. while his case was being passed
upon by the highest court in the state.
During all these days and months
while Ennis was confined in the death
house he never spoke to one of the
other condemned men. Although they
tried their best to entertain the con-
victed policeman he never spoke to
them. When the warden and the keep
ers attempted to draw him into con-
versation Ennis would humble some
thing that they could not understand.
He would sit all day and long into the
night, always in crouching position.
When once week they would open
his cell door and tell him to step out
side that he might be bathed and
shaved, he would hobble about as II
he was q wild beast. But never a
word did he utter. At first he refused
to taste food. After while he ate,
but sparingly only. He wasted away
terribly.
The chioroform Test.
DR.. Irvine, the expert physician Of
the prison, was among the few who
seemed to be in doubt as to whether
Ennis mind was really affected or not.
His case was widely discussed among
experts, but here wasta kind OF in
sanity that was upS pat time prac-
tically unknown. SSf
One day there came I'd from Al.
bany that the court As had
confirmed the sentence onviction
of the lower court, and q the death
sentence must be carri 4 out accord
ing to law. Warden johnson was puz-
zled.
Warden Johnson, who Is very con-
scientious man. reported to the gov
ernor and the latter, in order that no
injustice should be done and an in
sane man made to suffer the death
penalty, appointed commission COM
posed of leading experts in insanity,
and they went to Sing Sing and looked
at Ennis. They questioned the ward
en- and the keepers and from them
learned the story I have narrated
here.
III we can only get his mind of
the subject" said the doctors. "If he
is shamming we can find 1t out only
by getting his mind of the sub
ject."
They carried Ennis out of the death
house and up to the operating room in
the hospital inside of the prison walls.
There they placed him on an operat-
ing table and the chloroform was ad-
ministered. They gave him small

inquired.
Nothing the matter" he replied,
"only here was ready for the trial OF
that man was assigned to look after
on the charge of homicide, and that
fool has spoiled my defense"
The lawyer explained: The case was
one of cold FLOODED murder. 1t was
homicide committed while in the act
of committing burglary. The de-
PENDANT was an old-timer. The district
attorney was looking for a conviction
Of murder In the first degree, the pun
ishment Of which is death in the cleo
trio chair. The lawyer who had been
assigned to defend the man surely was
"up against It,"
my man was insane at the time OF
the shooting" said the attorney. The
district attorney laughed when ne
heard about the kind Of defense that
was to be offered.
Two months later the prisoner was
brought to court again. what q
change! i was unable to identify the
man. His hair was long and looked as
though q comb had never passed
through 1t. There was a two months
growth OF reddish beard on his face.
His eyes were starry. Altogether the
defendant appeared more like mon
ster than human being.

In his upper story" said the lawyer to
the assistant district attorney in
charge. The prosecutor seemed to
have his doubts. In order to 50 to
trial in the case it was necessary to
net q Jury. and then there was some
doubt a. to whether, after all, con-
vfction Of murder in the first degree
could Be secured. e.

put me under chloroform. Now Tn
glad it's over and am ready to take

what have suffered during all these
long months while was trying to

end Is at hand"
I well remember the case of Mar
tin Thorn. the barber. who, together
with Augusta Mack, midwife, killed
William Guldensuppe, rubber in
Turkish bath. William f. Howe, tho
veteran criminal lawyer, was his
senior counsel. Joseph Moss, now
magistrate. and at that time also con-
nected with the firm Of Howe & Hum
mel, was also of counsel. sat next
to Thorn during his trial, which took
place in Long Island City, and later
on I saw him electrocuted in Sing
Sing.
There was nobody at that time who
understood more about putting up
the right king of defense than did the
veteran Howe. I remember going to
him Just as the trial was about to
start and asking him what kind of
defense Thorn would put up.
"Ah, my boy" said Mr.. Howe to me.
II don't know myself. That is, Il all
depends upon circumstances. In the
first place we" Che always spoke Of
his client as WEI did not commit the
crime. Therefore, you see-and quite
readily too-that we are innocent of
this most awful charge that grand
jury, guided by misinformed district
attorney, has declared against u.s."
A short time after the commence
ment Of the trial Mrs. Mack an
nounced that she would turn states
evidence. She confessed all and
swore that Thorn had committed the
murder.

told him that the woman in the
case had confessed that Thorn had
killed Guldensuppe and that she had
helped the man to dispose of the body
of the victim.
what are you going to do now
about the defense?" / inquired.
II have It! I have IT," all at once
shouted Mr.. Howe, looking as happy
as a schoolboy with new toy. what
do you think of it,"
"The only thing left you 10 insan-
ity," I suggested.
"And that is where you are wrong"
replied Mr.. Howe. II told you l had

1t all the while. Now, please, don't
think that 1 just manufactured 1t.
Why, of course, we knew all the time
that this was the body Of Guldensuppe,
although the head was missing. We
know, too, who killed the man. We
did not. She did. Yes, she did. All

The prosecutor consulted the Judge
on the bench. He said he was willing.
The prisoner was arraigned once
more.
Defendant at the bar" called out
Clerk Penney, you say you change
your plea of not guilty of murder in
the first degree. heretofore interposed
in your case, and now plead guilty to
murder in the second degree. Is that
your plea?"
1T is" came the response from the
prisoner at the bar.
Two months before that-right after
the shave and hair cut-no such plea
would have been accepted. Death in
the electric chair was then the only
