wealth Of his father back of him

his office revealed the dies in which
the spurious coins had been cast
Eggleston was convicted and sentenc.

victlOn the physician began TO show
signs OF mental trouble. lie talked
wildly to his keepers and it be-
came evident that there was some
thing wrong with the mans mental
balance.
With their usual skepticism, the a,
ficers believed that the man was
shammng He was taken to the
Leavenworth prison and placed in an
observation cell, where his insanity
was soon determined, with an ele-
