Aencs rs to the appointment OF q

mind. Trial was Immediately halted.
the jury was excused for two days and
Justice Fitzgerald will In the mean
time receive affidayits from opposing
counsel and determine whether or not
. lunacy commission shall be ap-
pointed.
Mr.. Jerome declared there was evil
dence In his own hands and In the
hands of the counsel OF the defense
which would convince the court that
the trial should proceed no further.
Justice Fitzgerald called for every
bit OF available information and went
90 far rs to state that In the personnel
of the proposed commission he did not
wish to appoint any one who had been
consulted In the case by either side.
He therefore requested counsel to
submit to him list OF all the alien
lists who have been in any way con-
nscted with the proceedings thus far.
Thaw, who had appeared pale and
tired when the days session OF his
trial was begun, turned crimson dur
ing the exciting scenes which attend

Jerome's motion for lunacy com
mission. Hs bit his nails, fidgeted
about In his chair for while and
finally assumed an attitude of de-

DR. PARKS IS HOME.
Talks of His Mine and of the Wreck of
 Shriners' Train.


 Dr. w. P. Parks has returned from his trip to Colorado, Cali fornia and other points west. The doctor denies any great ex- citemeut on his part over the gold mine in which he is interest ed with F. NJ. Reeves and s. Browning. He says, however, that the strike is a true Assure vein from 30 to 36 inches wide and that the assays show the richest ore ever found in that region.
 Dr. Parks says that his party intended to leave Los Angeles on the Southern Pacific train that killed and maimed so many Shriners, but was delayed by un- expected circumstances. After the wreck they remained five days as they feared to make the trip over the track that was known to be in au unsafe condition.
 The most aggravating occur renee in connection with the wreck, the doctor says, was that the management of tue road side tracked the relief train to permit freight trains carrying claim agents 10 reach the injured ahead of friends and help. He states that in some cases the injured were induced to sign releases be- fore they were allowed to get their baggage.
