INSANITY CASES HEARD.
Decisions Given by Jury in Police
Court Yesterday.

Three insanity cases were presented for
consideration before a jury yesterday aft
ernoon in the Police Court.
Edward Marfette. who was arrested
some time ago charged with making
threats. was declared by the jury to be
sane. Marlette is veteran of the Span
1sh-Amerfcan war and came here from
New York state to take the civil service
examination the last part of March. Hard
study is thought to have made him in
tensely nervous. which ended in trouble
at his boarding house and his subsequent
arrest.
Drs. Hunt and Shuttle of the government
al1enists testified that Marlette had I'M
doubtedly suffered from hallucinations at
the time Of his arrest. and that, in their
opinion. 1t would be advisable that he be
sent to the Government Hospital for the
Insane for short course of treatment
Mariette was placed upon the witness
stand and told the jury the cause of his
presence in Washington. and stated that
he did not object to treatment, but pre-
ferred to return to his home in New York
state, where he would be under the care
of his family and home physicians.
Harry Green was found to be insane by
a jury and. was committed TO the govern
ment hospital for treatment. 1t was tes-
tilted that Green was previously patient
in the hospital for the insane for seven
months In 1902. where he underwent a
course of treatment for a suicidal mania
Recently he had been out of employment.
and the consequent worry, the alienists
stated was responsible for his present
mental condition. Green was arrested in
March for committing an aggravated as
sault. which he stated he remembered
nothing Of and his consequent actions re-
suited In his being examined to determine
his sanity.
The third case was that of Joseph
Thomas. cOlOred. who was arrested for
assaulting a boy who. it was stated. had
been teasing him. 1t was decided that
the assault was the result of his inca
pacity to judge between right and wrong.
The alienists testified that Thomas was
suffering from form of incurable. in
sanity. which had existed since his birth,
and In consequence of this incapacity to
judge properly he was a dangerous per-
son to be at large.
Thomas is about twenty-one years old
and is familiar figure in the lower
southwestern section of the city.

Fine improvements.

The erection of a large and impos-
ing two-story house by William Da-
Wis on his lots on the south side of
Fountain street, short distance west
from Chestnut street, is great addi-
tiOn to that part of town and gives it
a decidedly improved appearance.
The Davis dwelling is in the rear of
the fine new business block erected by
John Gorgen last year, and these new
buildings aud the improvements of
grounds surrounding, together with
the improvements in the same neigh
hood gives a decidedly improved ap-
pearance to that part of town. There
is need for a great deal of improve
ments of the grounds along Fountain
street. A little effort in this direc-
tion, on thepart of each property
owner would make a very great
change for the better.
