County, Persuades Party to Search
For Husbands Remains.
IN AN ABANDONED OIL WELL
Disappeared Year Ago Mysteriously
and Has Not Been Heard
Of Since.
IN AN ABANDONED OIL WEI

Mrs. Melville Cornell Of Doddridge
county. whose husband mysteriously
disappeared from their ONE about
year ago and has not been heard OF
since, has had a visitn in which she
saw the body OF her husband in a
certain oil well. The vision was so
striking and impressed her so strong
ly that she has finally persuaded q
party OF men to search te we'll.
Mrs. Cornell resides on Brushy
Fork of Coal creek, about a mile
and half from Grove. 1t was Just
about this time last year when her
husband mysteriously disappeared
and probably readers of the Tele-
gram can recollect the news articles
about him that appeared in this pa
per at the time.
Nothing Heard OF Him.
Although diligent search has been
made for the man nothing has been
heard of him. The wife. or widow.
believes that her husband has been
killed either by accident or through
foul play.
In her dream Mrs. Cornell saw the
body OF her husband in an abandon
ed oil well on Burton's run on the
tract Of land formerly owned by Or
lando Bennett. The well was drill
ed two or thre years ago and the
casing was afterwards taken from.
it.
Men TO Start Search.
AT the earnest and repeated re-
quest Of Mrs. Connell party Of men
have arranged to start work this
week in searching the old well.
When Cornell disappeared he had
kept up insurance policies ON his
life, one of them being ftarnlare.
life, one of them being fraternal
insurance society. These policies
have not been paid as there is no
proof that the man is dead. The
outcome of the search Of the old
oil well is being awaited with great
interest by the people living in that
section.

INSANITY
AT TIME.
OF killing of White Possessed Harry

Alienist.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12-Despite the
fact that today is Lincoln's birthday
consequently a legal holiday In this
State, there was no effect on the
Thaw trial which went ahead as US
ual.
The announcement of Thaw's coun-
sci that 1t would take about two days
more to put in the direct case fol
the defense, is expected to bring the
trial to close sooner than was ex.
pected. 1t also indicates that Thaw
will not go on the stand.
The first witness called today was
DR.. Britain Evans, superintendent OF
the State hospital at Morris Plains,
N. j.
Thaw Was Crazy.
Evans occupied the entire morning
session and his testimony Was not
a nded when recess was ordered.
NsSpsans. declared that when he first
visited Thaw in the tombs August 4,
there were many indications OF
brain storm of explosive or fulmin-
ating condition OF

Tense is endeavoring to show to the
jury that while Thaw was insane
prior to the killing of White and at
the time and Immediately subsequent
TO the homicide, the alienists,
who visited him in the Tombs found
that as their visits progressed his
manner changed from storm and
stress to calm and quiet"
Evans's testimony today bore out
this contention. The expert describ-
ed various forms of insanity whose
symptoms he discovered at the time
of his first visit, but Jerome could
not induce Delmas to put a direct

 He had sent relief bill to mem bers of the legislature, but it has not yet been introduced. He will try to have 1t done today, but if he should not succeed he will bring the matter to the attention of every legislature until the ter ritory is admitted to statehood.
 On his arrival in town yester. day he found that this bill had been amended apparently by some com mittee, which he suspects was com posed of Dennis Burke. The amendment follows: Provided that on payment of said sum of $20.S0 in lawful coin of the Republic of Mexico. said Tom Molloy shall and is hereby authorized and com manded to expend said sum of $20.S0 for the establishment of a nome at Nogales, Arizona, for the support of all calves weaned, either with or without the consent of one or both parents, before the age of six month, age to be certified to be one or more relatives of said orphan calves, affidavit to be signed in duplicate and attested by Hon Bo J. Whiteside."
 The amender of the bill doubtless had in mind the solicitude of Mir Whiteside expressed in recent house bill, for calves of a tender age. When Mir. Mo.loy was S hown the mend m e n he said he would accept it if he had to do so.
