FIELD DAY FOR ALIENrsTs.
The Experts on The Stand in The
Hsines Tnal.

Flashing, N. Y, Jan. 0.--A blow from
an unexpected quarter was received by
the defense in the trial Of Thornton
Jenkins Hams yesterday when DIR. L.
Samuel Manson, an ahenist, under
ross-examination by Prosecutor Oar
rim, declared that Captain Hams suf-
fered from maniac-depressiv insanity
last August, and that his ailment pre-
vented him from recognizing the face
or name of an enemy. The alienist
said that in patient suffering from
such q malady, NIL power was practi-
cs lily lost. DR.. L. Pierce Clark, another
alierist for the defense, testified yes
terday afternoon that Captain Hams
was insane Oh Aug. is when the shoot
irg took place, and that he was in
sane early in November when he made
his last examination.
Prospects doomed large for field
day for the alienists in the trial when
Dr. Manson took the stand for cross
examination and under the direction Of
Prosecutor Darrin delved into the mys-
teries of mental disease and told Of
reasons for his belief that Captain
Peter Hams suffered an attack Of sim

liam Il. Annis.
The declaration Of the defense's al
ienist that Captain Hams had acute
mania prior to the shooting and that
after the tragedy suffered from melan-
cholia from which he slowly recovered,
opened wide he foodgates for exhaus-
tive medical cross.examination
The alienist, Or. Manson, telling of
the reasons that led him to his concu-
sion regarding Captain Hams mental
condition, msrshalled an overwhelming
array Of terms in his testimony such as
zone Of anaesthesia," estuporous mel
ancholia," and "furore transitore.p
Justice Crane took part in the
cfossexamination Of DR.. Manson, who
declared that hysteria was allied to in
sanity. The alienist was questioned
at length on his definition of the var
ious forms Of insanity and Of the ner-
nous disorders and their relation to
hysteria A hysterical man was not
insane. said the slienist The cross
examination Of DIR. Manson was involv-
ed and had little or no interest for the
spectators in court.

AMERICAN GUNNERs WIN.
Team Shows Itself Best in Rifle Match
at Sydney When Fleet Was There.

Sydney, N. S. W., Jan. s.--After four
months of inquiry, the committee of the
National Rife association reports the
superiority of the American team in
the match held here during the fleets
visit. This vas chiefly due to the ex-
celient amInounition, especially prepared
at high cost for match purposes There
was no opportunity of comparing the
relative qualities Of the service ammu-
milton of the two countries. The Spring
field rifle is an improvement on the
Krag- Jorgenson used here. There il no
desire, however, to deprive the Ameri-
cans Of the credit due them.

lSIT SADDLER?
Picture of the Oregon Criminal Re-
ceived by GrOtOphOrSt, Evans &
Thomas

The law firm of Grotophorst, Evans
& Thomas has received the picture of
the Oregon criminal but they are not
able to determine whether or not it is
the much wanted Saddler who COM
mitted the forgery last winter in Sauk
county. J.P. Witwen and others have
taken a good look at the photographs
but are not able to determine. Both
pictures are of men stoutly built and
look much alike.
Sheriff Shut writes from Heppner,
Oregon, that the forger there goes by
the name of Dexter r. Roberts, alias
James Davis, alias King. He was in
st. Louis during the past two years
but denies ever being in Wisconsin. For
the forgery there he will get five or
six years and with good behavior will
come out in about four years.
The question is, Is he Saddler?

WHAT ABOUT THE
LYONS BRIDGE?

There was joint session of the Bara-
boo town board and Baraboo city street
committee in the city hall Friday even
ing. The business under consideration
was the original proposition to build a
bridge connecting Baraboo and Lyons,
for which the town has already voted
$4,000 with the understanding that
Sauk County will duplicate the appro-
priation.
The board members, James Terry,
Herman Voll and Charles Martiny,
and the clerk, Franklin Johnson were
all present and were represented by
Attorney Herman Grotophorst, who
strongly urged immediate action on
the part of the city.
The street committee is composed of
Chairman w. III. McFetridge, l.. M.
Jacobs and F. EffinAer.
City Engineer III. E. French has
estimates for steel bridges to cost from
$6, $50 to $500. The concrete estimate
is about $4,000. It is thought by many
that the concrete bridge would be the
most durable and in the long run
much cheaper.

PECULIAR PENSION
CASE UNEARTHED
A SOLDIER HAD TWO WIVES AND
WIFE NO. 2 LOSES GOVERN
MENT AID

J. S. Griggs of Baraboo, one of the
poor commissioners and superin'
tendent of the Sauk county asy.
lum, has been able to obtain a
pension for Mrs. Mary Cornish who
for some years, has been at the hospi-
tai owned by the county near Reed
burg. In obtaining the pension a
strange case came to light.
Long years ago when the war drums
began to beat, James d. Cornish join
ed the Wisconsin 1ifies at old New
port and after receiving a rudimentary
training under Captain Abraham
Vanderpoel, he marched away to the
front with Go. E., 18th Wis. The
Cornish family resided in Fairfield at
that time. He served through the
war.
After returning from the front he
married Mary Streeter and legal
separation afterward followed. She
now lives in Iowa.
In after years he married Mary
Johnson who, in time, became an
inmate of the county institution at
Reedsburg, and the husband went to
Valley Junction. There he married
again and after his death his widow
obtained pension for herself and
children not knowing that there was
another widow. 1t is not known here
when he was married but one of the
children is something like Is years old
so that the wedding must have occurr-
ed quite a while ago.
Some time ago Mr.. Griggs learned
of the death of Cornish and applied
for pension for the widow at the
county institution. Then the pension
department found that there were two
widows and the whole matter came to
light. Strange to say neither widow
knew of the existence of the other
It was a sad thing to take the pension
away from the Valley Junction pen
sloner and children but it was to the
interest of Sauk county that the
money from the government come to
the resident here. Performing nothing
more than his official duty the
commissioner procured the pension
for the widow at Reedsburg and she
will now get $1,000 per month as long
as she lives unless something more
unusual than this story transpires.
Mrs. Cornish has come from Reeds.
burg to the residence of her sister,
Mrs. J. Nettle, in Greenfield and will
make her home there. During all the
years that Cornish resided at Valley
Junction his comrades and acquaint-
ances here never learned that he had
married for the third time. An in
Vitation was sent to him regularly to
attend the reunions but he never came
and never sent reply. 1t is strange
story and one seldom found in the
work of the pension department.
