and perhaps fatally injured by a fall
on the recovered ground. The negro
had started out to shut the front gate
and was skating around to amuse Mr..

fell and struck his head against the

was trying to amuse them, but as he
continued on the ground they went out
to him. Blood was running from his
nose and mouth and he did not know
where he was or what he was doing,
but was finally able to get up and re-
turn to the house. He was later Ia

TASK OF DEFENSE
To Prove Thaw insane When stan
ford White Was Killed.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The task OF
proving to jury that Harry Thaw was
insane through hereditary and mental
stress when he shot Stanford White,
was taken up today by the defense,
but when adjournment was announced
it was the general opinion in the court
room that but little progress had been
made.
Thaw's attorneys endeavored in vain
to place before the jury evidence tend
ing, it was said. to prove strain OF
insanity in the collateral branches OF
the defendants family, but they were
blocked by District Attorney Jerome,
whose objections were upheld by the
ruling of Justice Fitzgerald.
The defense managed, however, to
get before the jury the testimony OF
an expert that, in his opinion, Harry
Thaw was suffering from insanity"
the night of the tragedy. Mr.. Jerome
undertook to break down the evidence
OF the alienist--Dr. G. c. Wiley, OF
Pittsburg--and for, three hours put
him through a cross-examination as
severe as any ever heard in New
York court. The prosecutor was re-
lentless in his attack and before he
had finished Dr. Wiley protestingly
declared;
'I did not come here as an expert;
/ came as a witness to a fact, and
have been converted into an expert
without being prepared for it."
The District Attorney astonished
everyone by his intimate knowledge
OF medicine, and its phraseology, dem
onstrating the care with which he had
prepared himself to meet the very de-
tense which Thaw's counsel have en-
tered in his behalf.
DR.. G. II. Bingamin, OF Pittsburg
who has been family physician Of
the Thaws for thirty years, testified
that he had known Harry Thaw ever
since his infancy. He had treated
him once, at the age of 2 years, for
st. vitus' dance. He seemed to be a
lad of highly nervous temperament and
slept badly at night. .a''tieT 4

SLICK NEGRO
MULE BUYER
NEGRO NAMED MAYFlELp PuR-
CHASED six HEAD HERE ON
CHECKS, SIGNING An
OTHER NAME.
oFFIcERs MAY HAVE A
VALUABLE PRISONER.

The police probably made a valu-
able catch Monday in the person Of
N. F. Mayheld. eolored, of the Shelby
.ville neighborhood.
The negro was for a time an I'M
portant buyer on the local mule mar
ket and quickly purchased six head
There were some pretty good buyers
on the streets, both local and south
ern, but the negro had them beat a
block when it came to quick action.
Money was no object to him, it ap-
peared, and in fact he did not pay out
any money, but simply gave checks
and signed the name Of John w. Hurt.
Two of the mules were purchased
from Ernest Dixon, of Ashwood, and
check for $500 was given in ex-
change, the check being on the Fourth
National Bank of Nashville.
Mr.. Dixon wanted to be on the safe
side. so he had one of the Columbia
Banks call up the Fourth National and
find out who John w. Hurt was and
whether his check was good for $500
or not. The Fourth National didn't
even know John w Hurt Mr.. Dix
on Immediately hunted up the negro
and took back his mules. He also
made the negro accompany him to the
court house, where he stated the case
and the negro was placed under ar
rest. Deputy Goad searched the ne
gro and found in his pockets three
check books and two pass books. One
of the pass books was on the Penny
Savings Bank of Nashville and showed
deposits of SIS, which had apparently
been raised to $1,000 Another pass
book and check book were on the
Farmers National Bank Of Shelby
vile, while another check book was
on the Lewisburg bank
The negro claimed that John w
Hurt had employed him to buy mules
for him and he had a right to sign
Hurts name. He claimed to have
seen Hurt only two times, and didn't
even know where he lived. Mayfielt
was locked up.

TESTIMONY OF
DEFENSE BEGINS
EVIDENCE rs OFFERED TO PROVE
AN ALIBI-DR. FEST DOES
NOT Testify.
Testimony Of {. X. Mitchell. Who
Hired Hsrss and Buggy 10 Myster-
ious Or. Bean, is Attaeked-Anoth-
er witness Who Saw Mrs. Mancrum
at station.

Testimony for the defense In the
case of DIR. ]. Herman Feist, on trial
in the Criminal Court on the charge
of numbering Mrs. Mangrum, was
opened on Tuesday The first evil
dence offered was to establish an alibi.
IL. n. Arnold, a Hickman County man.
stated that he was at the office OF Or.
Feist in the Wilcox building on the
evening of the disappearance OF Mrs.
/; Mangrum from Nashville, and saw
the defendant leave his office with
Abe Bloomstein. Mr.. Bloomstein and
I his sister, Miss Eta Bloomstein, tes-
titled that the physician took supper
at their home on the same evening,
the latter stating that he remained
until or 10 O'Clock, says the Nash
Vile American.
A considerable portion Of the day
was devoted to attacking the testi-
mony of e. H. Mitchell, the liveryman,
who testified that DR.. Feist, under the
name of Dr. Bean, hired horse and
buggy at his stable on the night OF
the disappearance of Mrs. Mangrum.
Several witnesses testified against the
credibility of Mitchell
The defense lost a point along this
line in placing Romans HALEY, Dep
uty Clerk of the Criminal Court, on
the witness stand to testify in the
Criminal Court On cross-examina.
ton Mr.. HALEY stated that he had
known Mitchell for several years. and
considered his character good, and
would believe him on oath.
Saw Mrs. Mangrum.
The defense produced another wit.
ness who testified to seeing Mrs. Man,
grum at the Union Station, he being
Mr.. Tucker, a gate keeper at the I'm
ion Station The witness said that
about Dec. IA, 1905, Mrs. Mangrum
came to the gate, and presented a
ticket, the first coupon of which was
to Evansville, and that he punched
the ticket. He did not know whether
she passed through the gate. Tucker
said that Mrs. Mangrum wore light
colored three-quarters cloak, which
was in conflict with the testimony OF
all other witnesses, who stated that
she wore dark cloak
Considerable time was devoted to
dispositions taken in st. Louis, a large
portion Of which was ruled out as IT.
relevant, and a number of character
witnesses were introduced. The de-
tense announced that the case could
not be presented in the order desired
as some of the witnesses were absent.
One notable feature of the defense
was the failure of DIR. Feist to go on
the witness stand.
The defendant shows signs OF
the strain under which he is laboring,
and much of the time on Tuesday he
was chewing nervously at a tooth
pick.
1t is thought the defense will com
plete the testimony on that side to
morrow A large part Of the testi-
mony to come will probably be devot-
ed to assailing the witnesses for the
State, and the testimony that has been
given by them. 1t looks as though
the remainder of the week will be
required to hear the evidence in chief
and that in rebuttal.

had struck that of the River Falls
train. The engines were badly
damaged but no one was seriously
injured although Mr.. Lowe, engi-
neer on the River Falls train, had
his ankle hurt and those in the pas
