EXPERT CALLED
TODAY TO SHOW
NEWCOMB INSANE.
SEATTLE PHYSICIAN TELLS
OF PBCULIARITIES OF DE-
PENDANT IN MURDER
TRIAL-TELLS OF FACIAL
COMMISSIONS.

The attorneys for Charles F..
Newcomb, ON trial for the mur-
der OF Martin Kvalshaug, today
placed on the stand DIR. Wyllis A..
6illlman of Seattle, who, al
though the principal expert for
the defendant, did not state con-
clusively that he considered New
comb insane. DR.. Silliman went
into a lengthy discussion of the
nervous symptoms noticeable IN
Newcomb, dwelling at great
length on the facial convulsions
or what he called "spasmodic
tick" This twitching of the
facial muscles, he declared, is due
to a morbid mental condition.
The defense had laid great
stress in his spasmodic condition
of Newcomb's face to show a de-
ranged mind, but, although the
doctor dwelt upon it very elabor-
ately, he did not connect 1t
strongly with the defendant s
mental condition.
Wrangling Enlivens Trial.
The whole morning session was
seasoned with continual wrang-
ling between the attorneys and
the expert on the stand. Judge
Chapman was compelled to re-
peatedly stop the witness and
warn him to keep within the linn
its of the case at bar.
The expert mentioned a num-
ber OF physical peculiarities no.
ticed In Newcomb. When New
comb was about 20 years of age
he was totally blind for period
of four months. This, according
to the doctor, was also a result
of nervous arrangement.
Murray Present.
No hypothetical questions were
put to the expert this morning
but they will come later In the
afternoon session. Attorney Mat
thew Murray, on account of whose
Illness the trial was delayed two
days, was present today but was
unable to assist with the trial
very materially.
The court room was crowded
as usual with spectators, princi-
pally women. Many were turned
away at the door as none are al
lowed to stand in the court room.
It was thought the trial would
be finished before the end of the
week, but the attorneys expect It
to run over for day or two next
week.

MADRID, Via Hendaye, Oct. IA
with many leading papers pre-
dieting revolution and King AL
fonso storming at the cabinet for
advising him to permit the execu-
tion of Prof. Ferrer; with the peo-
pie aroused to a mob frenzy and
all Europe aghast, Spain today is
confronted with the most critical
situation in long list of nation
al troubles that have been threat
ening for the last year to disrupt
the nation.
The king is Mortified at the
storm of protest that has follow
ed the execution of Ferrer yes
terday. 1t Is understood that he
bitterly reprimanded his ministers
for having advised him to permit
it.
The news of the attempts of
the great mob in Paris to attack
the Spanish embassy was a great
shock to the king. The fury with
which the news was received by
the populace here has given Al
fonso ground for fear.
The threats upon the Lives of
the royal infants and the lives of
the ministry in case the sentence
of Ferrer was carried out are re-
called with greatest anxiety.
Guards have been doubled, and or
ders have been given for the ut
most measures of protection for
the royal infants.

DELEGATES TO
 BE SELECTED Montgomery Voters to
 Hold Meeting. GATHERING AT COURT HOUSE Local Situation Is Most En-
 couraging. County Beats Are Expected to Send Strong Forces to stand Against
 the Proposed ConstitutionaI Amendment.

A business meeting of the voters of the seven Montgomery city beats will be held Monday night to select dele- gates to the conference Wednesday night in opposition to the constitution al amendment. The meeting will be @ business one in the sense that there will be no speaking and the only mat ter to come before the gathering will be the selection of delegates to the conference.
 In the meanwhile. 1t IS suggested that the country beats of Montgomery County. which have not done so. select their delegates and have their names enrolled with Representative J. Lee Long. Some of the country beats have already selected delegates. Two of the industrial organizations of the city volunteered to send delegates. which they named several days ago. The delegates which have been selected from the various country beats and the delegates already selected in the city will be given equal rank and pow CT with the delegates to be selected Monday night at the court house.
 Montgomery County will have one of ference. not so much because of num- bers. hut because of character and standing. From the city of Mont gomery delegation of any size could be named. composed of leading busi- ness and professional men. But 1t is not thought that the delegation will be very large.
 The Montgomery signers of the call are anxious for all the country beats of the county to select delegates and have them here Wednesday.

 Great. George G. Miles Expects Thi. City To Be We'll Represented at the
 Gathering for Pro-

Thirty men and one woman attended the mass meeting of the prohibitionists of Montgomery at the County Court House last night at 8 o'clock. The ob- ject of the meeting was the selection of delegates to represent Montgomery County at the convention of prohibi- tionists to be held in Birmingham next Thursday afternoon and night.

Davis. ), b. McFeyden and S. J. Cassels.
 In opening the meeting Mir. Miles stated that the gathering of prohibi- tionists in Montgomery County had been hurriedly summoned and for that reason a large attendance was not ex. pected. He stated that the purpose of the meeting was to consider the advis- ability of sending delegates from Montgomery County to the convention of prohibitionists to be held next Thursday at Birmingham.
 We have issued this call on very short notice," said MT. Miles. "and fbr that reason did not expect a large at- tendance. We wish to consider the ad- visa hility of sending delegates to the convention In Birmingham next Thurs day. The primary object is to discuss the matter thoroughly and to enroll the names of volunteer delegates. We would like to have fifteen or twenty men.
 Tt is not the intention that this meeting should effect a permanent or ganization. This will be done after the convention. Those who will attend the Birmingham meeting as delegates from Montgomery will please call their names"
 Secretary Claude Chiffon took down the names suggested by those present. and J. Lee Holloway suggested in the form of a motion that any one who could attend the Birmingham confer ence as delegates, would be enrolled as such if their names were handed in to Mir. Miles.

NEW CROSS-TIE PREVENTS
 WRECKING OF A TRAIN

What is thought to have been an at- tempt to wreck the Louisville and Nashville passenger train that arrives in this city at s:55 o'clock in the morn- ing, was frustrated yesterday morning.
 Soon after leaving Flomaton the engineer, Arthur Payne. caught sight of an obstacle lying across the track. He applied the brakes and the train was stopped. The crew found cross tie on the track.
 The engineer said that the only thing that averted the wreck and caused the plan to fail was that he had placed a new tie on the track and the head light fell on its white surface, distin- gushing 1t.
 The conductor, Walter Scott. had his crew to take in charge a negro who was lettering near the scene and the man was turned over to the authorities at Canoe to await an investigation.
