INSANITY EX-
PERT WAGNER
Exhaustive Explanation OF
CraniaI Nerves. ncIud-
ing Nerves that Con-
troll all Sense.

Special to the Fitzgerald Enterprise.
New York, Jan. 23.-Nhcn the
trial of Harry Thaw opened this
morning the physician and nurses
of Paris were present in the room
to add their testimony to the de-
fense's plea of insanity by express
ing opinions that Thaw was eX-
ceedingly irrational while in Europe
with Evelyn Nesbit. Among them
were the physician and nurses
who attended Thaw when he tried
to suicide by taking poison in
Paris. Evelyn Thaw is so thor
oughly confident of her husbands
acquital that she is preparing an
expensive wardrobe for her trip
with him to Europe, there in the
wbirligig Of European gaiety will
try to forget the long nightmare
they endured in New York.
Physicians and alicnists were
among the earlier witnesses this
morning. The burden of their
testimony consisted in accounts of
strange actions on the part of
Thaw previous to the garden trass-
edy.
Later DR.. Wagner who examin-
ed Thaw in the tombs as to his
mental and physical condition was
called. His testimony after de-
tails of his interview with the
prisoner was directed into eXhaus-
tive explanation of the cranial
nerve and all ramifying nerves,
including those controlling all
senses. DR.. Wagner was On the
stand the better part of the morn
ing.

absence of one arm conspicu0usly
shown, his coat half off and thrown
across q shoulder so as to carefully
hide the other arm, while a deep

his legs, thus did One-arm receive
nicklcS and dimes and occasionally
larger amounts.
The sequel came Saturday night
at an hour when all good men, cX-
ccpt newspaper reporters and
policemen had retired to their
couches and wrapped themselves
in the mantle Of sleep. Three
cripplcs entered one of the Greek
restaurants which remain open
forever and day, and seated them
selves at q table. One had only
one leg, a second was similarly in
complete, and the third could only
boast of I single arm.

"Lct me have whole order Of

"And coffee for three" The
first one spoke again, and evident
ly he seconded the wishes of the
others, for they entered no protest
to this order of the bean beverage.
And while they ate, they also
talked freely. A reporter, seated
close by did his best to dispose OF

Union Depot To Be
Used by A. B. &
A. Trains.
Passenger Service to Be
Operated From Roads
Terminals Over So
uthern, W & A.

LdHSCIACuUo Ill ACA6bHU I'd HI yCoVC1-
days Atlanta Journal we find tie
following statement.
According to well authenticate d
reports, the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic Railroad company
will use the union depot for its
passenger service, which will be
established between Atlanta and
Brunswick on February 16. 1t is
generally understood that an
agreement has been reached be
tween the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic and the railroad com
panies leasing the depot by which
the passenger trains of the first
named company will arrive and
depart from the old depot.
1t is understood that the Allan
ia, Birmingham and Atlantic Rail
road company has preferred the
union depot for several reasons,
among them being the fact that
the use of this depot will give them
entrance into station which has
no other competing lines.
The entrance of the Atlanta rail
road, the first line to come into
Atlanta over it's own rails since
the construction of the old East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
over twenty five years ago, will
make four lines using the union
depot. At present the station is
used by the Seaboard Air Line,
the Western and Atlantic and the
Georgia railroad.
To reach the union depot the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
will use the tracks Of the Southern
railway and the Western and At
Iantic by a trackage agreement.
The new road will use. its own
tracks all the way to its mammoth
freight yards near the terminal
station. At that point passenger
trains will employ cut off from
the main line which intersects the
Southern railways tracks just
west of the Atlanta, Birmingham
and AtIautic's terminals.
The Southern's rails will be nSed
for short distance when the
trains will be diverged to the
tracks of the Western and Atlantic.
The latter roads tracks will be
used from that point into the un-
ion depot.
All of the freight trains of the
road will pass into the company's
big freight terminals over its own
lines. These terminals are located
near Nelson street and will consti
tute one Of the largest freight de.
pots and yards in Atlanta.
The Atlanta, birmingham and
Atlantic has practically laid its
rails into Atlanta to the freight
terminals aud efforts are being
made to inaugurate passenger SER
vice by February 16.
The road has been operating
thro service to Brunswick for near
" wear via the West Point Route
to LAGRANGE, from which point
the Atlanta, Birmingha m and AZ
lantic has been running tran
vice ever its own g

ROAD MONEY IS
, NOT HOARDED UP

In regard to an impression which APP
pears to have been received by some
that chairman of the Board of Super
yisors Charles Hustace Jr., has been
boarding county funds, Mr.. Hustace
states that it does not seem to be UNI
derstood as we'll as might be that the
county has to work along for a year,
over what is received per month
from taxes, on whatever lump sum
is received after road taxes have
been declared delinquent at the
end of March, and this lump sum-
outside of monthly considerations for
departments which are regularly ar
ranged, has to be apportioned for the
year
The coming in of the lump sum in
April of this year, and the consequent
apportionment of that sum over nee
essary demands for the year, has evil
IDENTIFY led to the impression that the
chairman has been holding back in
order to gather lump sum for parti
cular work or that he has been hoard
ing the fund, whereas he has not.
In the matter of the county balance,
as shown by the statement of the
County Treasurer, Mr.. Hustace re-
marks that this is not a showing to
go by in reckoning what the county
has available, for after the board has
made certain appropriations it can
touch the money appropriated for moth
ing but that for which it was appro-
priated, and this appropriated money
being in the hands of the treasurer,
may appear as a balance as far as
cash on hand with the treasurer is
concerned, but is by no means avail
able for further consideration with the
Supervisors and is therefore not really
q county balance.

himself. The song that came from his
baby lips was Always in the Way"
At that time Robert was two years
old, and, aside from his mother, scarce.
ly anybody could understand the
strange lingo he had brought with him
from babyland.
From that time on the precocious
musical talent manifested itself in
various ways, Robert showing ability
to sing any CT the popular airs after
hearing them once. To-day he is five,
having passed that birthday December
/, 1907. Since he has been able to
sit at the piano he has been picking
out such well-known airs as Home,
Sweet Home Yankee Doodle"
Marching Through Georgia" and q
long list of popular airs.
Recently he improvised a piece
which he has named THE Arabian
Nights" In order to meet the full re-
quiFements of the composition he de-
cided it would be necessary to use the
loud and soft pedals, something he
had not bothered with previously. To
sit on the stool and reach the pedal
is a physical impossibility for the
young composer, SO he stands up for
the performance with his face barely
on a level with the keyboard.
The child's parents are neither of
them especially musical. Mrs. Hig-
gins occasionally plays for her chill
80 -t1, oh 'Ia J1sr
from Homework. The only other music
in the house is of the canned" va
riety. Some of the first tunes learned
by Robert were in imitation of the
phonograph.
