Dr. Charles Caspari, jr., dean of tho

clares that his sister was insane at the
time of the alleged larceny, and is still
| of unSound mind. In support of his pc
tition. DR.. Caspari, through Attorney
Walter c. Clephane, submitted a certifi-
cate of DR.. D. X. Shute, the physi-
clan to the Jail, who gives it as his un-
qualified opinion that the woman is in
sane.
1t is understood that Dr. p. C. Hunt
and other alieniStS have examined Miss
Caspari and are prepared to testify tina,

States Attorney Baker will have DR.. r.
NJ Brush of Maryland examine Miss
Caspari.

about five years ago and so testlfled al

Baltimore then. The defense of insanity
at that time did not prevail and the
woman was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary and served a term OF about five
years Should Dr. Brush consider the
woman still insane, it is likely no oppo-
sition will be made by the government ~
verdict of insanity.

Charge of Grand Larceny.
Miss Caspari, for ten months resi-
dent of this city, was arrested here July
20 last by Detectives Baur and Cornwell.
The charge was the grand larceny of $96)
from Miss Elizabeth w. Gemmill of l4TJ
Corcoran street where she had resided.
The police stated that she had also OBJ
tanned sums of money from other women,
aggregating more than $500
According to the police Miss CaSpari
gained confidence because of the mys-
terIous manner in which she opera ted.
1t was her claim that she represented a
book club, and that only employees of
the club were permitted to purchase
stock. Her representation made 1t APP
pear that the stock in the club was ex-
tremely valuable. She seemed to have en-
countered very little trouble in inducing

Forbes Tells of His Fall With the
Conqueror and Remarkable Es-
cape-Herring Not Ready.

In in a tWcnty-milc breeze with svecry
prospect of making flight to Baltimore
and getting back 10 Washington for sup
per, ~ Holland Forbes president of the
Nero Club. and Lieut.. Lalim of the Signal
Corps began a balloon flight from the gas
works on 12th street southeast dt IL
o'clock this morning. ~ :
The flight was made in the little $500
foot Baldwin spherical balloon. 1t seemed
hardly big enough to hold three men. but
Lieut.. Lahm and Mr.. Forbes decided to
take along Lieut. Winter, the latest ac-
.Iuisition To the aerial staff of the Signal
Corps So Lieut.. Winter climbed into the
basket and the enlisted men who were
managing the Initiating dropped off cor
responding number of sand bags.
The wind that was blowing from the
southwest was strong and cold. 1t whip
Ued the balloon gas bag around and
played foot ball with many soldiers as
could get hold IF the basket. The record
ing instruments were hung up in the net
ting and the balloon was finally adjust ed
that IL would just rise with the addi-
tinn Of an extra sand bag. which Lieut..
l.ahm balanced on the edge of the basket.
one false start was made and the balloon
had to he dragged back up the hill TO the
starting point. The basket was about as
frisky as kitten with a ball of worsted
and played crack the-whip with the sol
ders. running over two or three of them.
Finally Lieut.: Lahm cried TO 'let 60
and the yellow ball shot into the air. the
extra sand bag having been emptied over
he edge soon after the car was clear of
the ground, IT was the quickest ascent
and disappearance that has been made in
any of the few flights from the gas works.
The balloon Travelled at the rate of about
twenty-five miles an hour IN the direction
of Baltimore. and in Il very few minutes
lost to view almost directly north.
The two aeronautS today expected to
get about far as Baltimore and will
make observations and carry out some
experiments on the trip. If they begin

Forbes Remarkable Escape.

Mr.. Forbes was the pilot of the Con-
rueror. the Inflated American balloon,
which burst in the recent international
race at Berlin He and Augustus Post
secretary of the Aero Club. we're the
pass engers In the balloon at the time of
the accident. They fell o,300 feet. went
through the roof of a house and escaped
unhurt. 1t Was one of the most remark
able accidents TO balloonists that ever
happened.
Mr. Forbes in speaking of the occur
renee tn Star reporter was warm in I he
praise of augustus Post. He said that in
the first place Post was the only one of
eight men who had been negotiating TO
start with him in the international race
and Who did not back out when he found
that the balloon was likely to risk the
passage of the North sea. s----,s =
rus was too much of a sporting chance
Tor most of the prospective passengers,
but Post merely said when the matter
was nut IN him. We'll. if we race we
race. The start was made in sight of an
immense crowd. They covered about a
mile of ground. Everything went well for
about five minutes. and then the balloon
burSt. The two aeronautS cut away the
bags of sand fast as they could hut
they went down so fast that they heat
the bags of ballast in their descent FL
nally the balloon began to parachute and
broke their fall somewhat but they
struck the roof of "a house and went
lear eiIpusn ana INTO an upper bedroom.
They escaped with had shaking up. but
without "a scratch. Mr.. Forbes said that
when they saw the roof of the apartment
house where they were destined to land
rushing UP out of the depths to meet
them Post simply turned his head and
said, Goodbye, Forbsey. old man.
Forbes replied, Goodbye, Gus" and
then they hit.
Mr.. Forbes said that he travelled s 600
miles To enter the race. was in the air
eight minutes and s. ho fr;1
but declared that it was worth il every
hit
