CASE OF SURGEON SPEAR
Delay Of Two Hours in Opening the
Session Today.
DIR. UNKER, U.s.N., A WITNESS
Declares That accused Was Con-
stantly Under influence OF Liquor.
Scope of Defense.

Without any apparent expectancy OF Sc
curing verdict Of acquittal, but huoyed
with the hope that sentence may be NIT
igated because Of the mental irresponsible
ity Of the accused. Attorney Henry H.
Classic presented additional witnesses for
the defense at the Spear trial this after
noon.
The fifth day of the hearing before
naval court-martal was begun at 1:3o
o'clock this afternoon in the boardroom
at the Washington navy yard, DR.. David
\. Spear, a young assistant surgeon OF
the United States Navy. is charged with
having purloined Treasury checks that
had been sent to Naval Surgeon f. j.
Grow and Assistant Surgeons c. G. Alder
man and F. H. Stibbens. 1t is then al
legged that he Endorsed the checks with the
names of the officers named. thus adding
forgery to his offense, and had the checks
cashed at the Treasury Department. APP
propriating the money to his private use.
The hour for the resumption of the
hearing had been set for II o'clock this
morning but owing to a hitch in the ar
engagements for the stenographic proceed
ings of yesterday a delay of more than
two hours resulted
Mr. Classic today emphasized his con-
tention of yesterday that DR.. Spears mind
was in such condition of befuddlement
and abnormality following his debauches.
during the course of which he drank much
vermuth and absinthe in Martini cock
tails. which appear to have been his
favorite beverage. Mr.. Classic also fur
ther illustrated the toxic effects of abb
sinthe and vermuth. and the form OF
temporary insanity and consequent ire
spOnsibility produced by the excessive use
of such drug-like liquids.
n
n. president. had called the court to
order. the proceedings of yesterday were
read by Lieut. Joseph \. Rossell, L. 5.
NJ. c., judge advocate.
In Civilian Attire.
The accused officer entered the room &C
companied by his counsel. Attorney Glas-
sic. and gave earnest attention to the
testimony. He was not attired in naval
uniform. but wore the garb of a civilian.
An affecting incident of the hearing was
the appearance before the naval officers
comprising the court or Judge S. A
Spear, the venerable father of the ac-
cused who certified that his testimony
given yesterday was correct. He then bade
goodbye to the officers and his son.
The first witness at today's session
was Assistant Surgeon Charles Bunker.
L. S. \. In reply to a question by At
torney Classic. the witness replied. in eff
feet that on every occasion when he had
seen DIR. Spear the latter was under the
influence of liquor.
A controversy arose as to the admission
OF letter written by Spear to Surgeon
Bunker, in which Spear had asked if DIR.
Bunker had ever known Spear to show
any signs Of mental deficiency After dis
cussion between Attorney Classic and

Locomotives cannot always be had for
drawing special cars for the use of rail-

automobiles are: in fact. they are railway

countries where there are railways. In
the United States these inspection cars
are made as to make speed of forty
miles an hour. and enough gasoline is

Stirring Finish Spoiled.
Had it not been for this unfortunate

many years doubtless would have been
witnessed. The real test was expected in
the last quarter mile OF the full course

Signorinetta was able to go the full half

How to Boom Emporium.

There is much to be said on this sub
iect so vitally interesting to all good
citizens of the town. Much that might
be suggested is impracticable, and still
more is not only practical, but neces-
sary to the growth of the town
Cameron county has vast undevelop-
ed natural resources at her command.
Her mountains, though now denuded
of their forests, carry in their bosoms,
not only the coal and gas already in
use, but also, sand glass, clay for build
ing and fire brick and petroleum.
Very few people realize the beauty
of our mountain scenery. A summer
resort built near the end of the road
generally spoken Of as the "new road"
would be material aid in building up
the fortunes of the town. One obtains
the most beautiful views of the town
and surrounding mountains on trip
up this road. If traction line could
be built connecting this beautiful spot
with the Sizerville Mineral Springs and
passing through Keystone Park, beauti-
fled and kept in order, it would un-
doubtedly attract large numbers of de-
sirable people. The idea of building a
health resort at Sizerville is not new
one, but it is surely feasible plan.
Then what might not be accomplish
ed by improving the appearance of the
town. All the squald, unpainted
wooden structures might be removed
to make way for modern business build
ings. A Government post office is
surely not an impossibility in town
of this size. Then our Jail should be
more in keeping with the beauty of the
court house. We have just cause for
pride in that edifice, with it's beautiful
lawns and terraces, but what vast i'm
provement modern stone jail would
make in its appearance Our public
