of thirty eight furnaces and a reduction
of production of approximately $1,000 tons

company has increased its prospective

1l,S00 tons, and a sale of 5000 tons for
a shipment during the period is also re-
ported. Philadelphia sales include two
cargoes of Mddlesboro iron, which was
taken by a east iron pipe interest and
5000 tons of ferro Manganese at $6S sea

The Carnegie Steel company has taken

The latter purchase is significant of I'M

ton, but If cannot get it, will have to

All Talk Excitedly.
For a moment all the lawyers were
talking excitedly at once and Justice Fitz-
gerald was forced to rap sharply with his
gavel. Finally Mr. Jerome made himself
heard.
1.-THE court mas asked for all facts |

"TIis attorneys can waive it for him,

To Prohibit Lawyers Signing Bonds.

Chattanooga, Tenn. March 20.-(SpeciaD
The efforts to repeal the law allowing
attorneys practicing in the state of Ten

will probably be repealed by the legisla-

comes the duty of the court TO stop the
proceedings"
Demas Tries to Commit Jerome.
Mr.. Delmas sought to have Mr.. Jerome
place himself ON record as formally ap-
plying for a lunacy commission, but the
district attorney would only repeat that
he was directing the attention of the
court to matter which might appeal to
his conscience.
Mr.. jerome said that Drs. Bingaman
and Demeer, two of the Thaw family
physicians, had told him facts concern
ing epilepsy ON both sides of the pris-
oners family, but the defense had failed
10 bring out these matters in the testi-
mony.
Il submitted to the alienists summoned
by the state all the facts in my possess
sion" said Mr. Jerome, land they one
by one informed me that the defendant is
suffering from "a disease called paranoia,
the chief characteristic of which is an
insane delusion. That under these insane
decisions he killed Stanford White, but
that within the legal definition of insanity
he knew the nature and quality of his act
and knew the act was wrong"
Justice Fitzgerald wanted to know If
the alienists had Informed the district at
torney of their opinions before answering
the long hypothetical question in court
Mr. jerome admitted that they had The
evidence he submitted to them had not
been adduced In court, however, and he
could not put 1t In the hypothetical ques-
ton
Now that they have put DIR. Hamilton

the court sworn testimony In a matter of
a character which may demand the at
tention of the court. For the first time
we have the real evidence before us, and

support me in the claim that ever since
this trial began | have struggled to have
the doors opened wide that all the facts
might be brought out But 1 have been
met with objections and legal restrictions
everywhere"
Delmas Replies.
Mr. Demas replied that it was very
strange if the district attorney had so
long possessed the information he was
stating to the court that he had persisted
so long in prosecuting to his death a man
who he believed was insane in the eyes
of the law because he could not consult
intelligently with counsel. As to the
charge of unprofessional conduct he had
heard IL for the first time today. Mr..
Delmas continued. He further said that
the defense had called to the stand DR.
Hamilton, the man who the district at
torney. believed to know more about the
case than anybody else. and was pro-
ceeding TO nterrogate him when the dis
trist attorney objected.
