ture of the proceedings in the senate

ey loaned at six perA cent or lower
rate of interest, which passed by a
vote tof I8 to Il. Senator East raised
the point OF the constitutionaliay Of
it, that it was revenue bill and
hence should not arrive in the senate.
The chair took this under Amusement
A bill was introduced IN the senate
also, which, if passed, will increase
the salary bf the attorney general,
the assistant attorney, and provides
larger allowances for stenograpners
There was much local and private
legislation III the house today.
Among the bills passed was one
authorizing the county boards of sup
ervisors TO create at their discretion
county departments of agriculture.
The Boddie bill after reaching the
senate, was referred to the Judiciary
committee. A dozen 'or more anti
bucket shop bills were then pending
on the judiciary calendar, and when
the Boddie bill was referred, a sub
committee. of which Senator w. K
McLaurin is chairman, was appointed
to consider all bucketshop legislation
and report on same.
Mr. Boddie has been engaged in
earnest conferences with members of
the senate during the past few days,
and he is evidently under the impres-
sion that the bill is liable to be emas-
culated. or SO changed and modified
that it will lose much of the desired
effectiveness.

Justice Dowling Immediately began
his ruling as TO holding Thaw in Gus

thanked them for their work, and de
clared he had no doubt that they had
discharged their duties to the entire
satisfaction of their conscience. Then
turning to the defendant and his cour
sci Justice Dolwlng said:
The only testimony in this case
upon WHICH a verdict lof insanity
could be based was to the effect that
the defendant is suffering from a ma
nia-de-pressive form of mental deran-
cement This testimony and the dag
nosis off the form of insanity was
based upon former outbreaks of the
defendant as testified to by witness
es from London, Monte Carlo, Paris
and Albany.
1t also appears from the testimony
and the court was careful to inquire
as 10 this, recurrence of these attacks
are reasonably certain. There has
been 20 testimony adduced here C
show that a person suffering from
mania OF this sort ever can be perna-
rently ctaed.
1t appears, however. that during the
anan.acal form of the disease, the per
son suffering thercfrom is likely tc
commit daneerprls assaults or mur
der There Is danger also Of suicide
Therefore upon all the testimony il
this case the court deems that to al
low the defendant to go at large would
be dangerous to the public safety.

+. An investigation of the plot frus-
trated the night of Jan. zs shows that
it was more imposing than was at first
believed. The firing of a cannon on
board a ship in the river was to have
been the signal for armed uprisings
in various sections of the city.
The conspirators, Willingly or un-
willingly, had copied a historic Incl
dent of Paul Revere's Ride, for they
had arranged for lanter to be swung
from the tower of the national library
as the signal for the gunner on board
the river craft to fire the shot. The
arrest of the p1otters in the darkness
of the narrow dark stairway of the
library prevented the carrying out CT
this plan.
