A few years ago the name of Giovanni
Zenatello came laundering into the world
of music with a magic unlike anything
heard in modern times. There had been
tenors before him of rare lyric sweetness
and of wonderful technical mastery, but
this voice of his burst into being like some
elemental force of nature herself. II
seemed that the harmony of the winds,
the cadences of great rivers rushing to
the sea had been gathered together and
turned to a miracle of concord within this
great italian. He is the one supreme
artist of the entire festival.
: People never speak of Zenatello except
in superlatives 1t is impossible to do
otherwise. To hear him even in a re-
hearsaI has the effect of looking from
a mountain top across rolling landscapes
flooded with the light Of noon. He is the
Shakespeare of all tenors today.
Zenatello Is now the leading tenor OF
the Manhattan Opera house, and is reck-
oned as the rarest addition that Oscar
Hammerstein ever made to American
opera.
Only 80 years ago he was born at We
roma, Italy. He came into the world with
a tremendous gift of physical strength.
He labored with his hands when a boy.
The chest bones grew stronger with every
passing year. He loved the open air as
he now does. Every fiber in his physique
was firm, supple and tireless. He had,
to begin with. the things must always
come as a gift from destiny And when
he felt that he had a voice. His father
a business man, protested at first against
the boy devoting his time to things of art
But Zenatello's spirit was as virile as his
body. Soon he had proved to his parents

IMPULSE TO SHOOT
DUE TO INSANITY?
ALIENIST DECLARES THAT ACT
OF CAPTAIN PETER @. HAMS
WAS DUE TO INIPULSIVE
INSANITY.

FLUSHING, N. Y, May 6.-The exam
ination of export witnesses for the de-
tense was expected to be concluded today
in the trial of aCptain Peter C. Hams Jr.,
for the killing of William E. Annis Dis
trict Attorney Dewitt was prepared to
begin the examination of witnesses in re-
buttal late today.
At the opening of court the district at
torney resumed his cross-examination of
DR.. L. s. Manson, the alienist, who tes-
tilted yesterday for the defense.
District Attorney Dewitt explained to
the court that he did not consider DR..
Manson having qualified as an expert.
He said he would concede that Drs. Clark
and Brush the other alienists for the de-
tense, were qualified experts and his
cross-examination of them would conse-
quently be much shorter.
when Captain Hams stood on the
yacht club platform at Bayside with fold
ed arms looking out over the water and
then grabbed the boom of Annis boat
and shot Annis to death. what kind of
insanity was he suffering from at that
timer" asked Mr.. Dewitt.
with impulsive insanity" was the re-
ply.
AT just what time did the Impulse seize
him?" asked the district attorney.
Il can't tell; no man can" replied the
witness. 1T probably was when he first
heard the name Annis.'
DIR. Arthur c. Brush was called and
qualified as an expert on nervous and
mental diseases. Predicating his opinion
on the Hypothetical question in connec-
ton with his own observations, witness
said the shooting of Annis was an inn
pulsve act of maniac Oppressive insan-
ity
With only one more alienist to call be-
fore the defense rests, District Attorney
Dewitt marshaled his witnesses in rebuff
tai at the recess To-day. There are about
twenty OF them, including Mrs. William
r. Annis and eight army and navy men,
who have known the defendant for many
years.
DIT. L. Pierce Clark, the last of the
trio of alienists for the defense, tes-
tilted that the defendant was insane on
August 18th when be shot Annis.

and to the city about him what genius
lay unfolding him. At q he was
the marvel of Italy.
A study of Zenatello's life would show
that it has been one ceaseless, gigantic
labor in art. And yet when he sings, he
does so as carelessly as a child laughing
There is a fine, unprecedented rapture
to every note as though he were simply
strolling through the world, singing be-
cause 1t is in his heart to sing.
Hundreds of people have been wonder
ing what Zenatello has been doing since
his arrival for the festival last Tuesday
evening. They could never guess, for
they picture him probably as some one
apart from the rest of life. On the con-
trary he has been sauntering about the
streets at his own pleasure, taking auto
mobile rides with members of the music
committee and other Atlantians, living
Just as an ordinary man would live

moor"

in his ItalianTeolored English. because
everything in life is crammed with in
terest."
1t is this very point of view which gives
to Zenatello's art its illimitable breadth
and human appeal. It is because he
lives close to all mankind that he under
stands them and can make them feel his
own emotion.
His appearance with the six other ia
nous artists Thursday evening will mark
the greatest moment in the entire festi-
VAL the moment Of supreme sensation.

1t is highly probable. unless some soft
of agreement is reached, that the courts
will be called on to decide who shall car

Char,bers' Opinion
The opinion of Attorney Chambers in
substance, is that no court would permit
the sheriff to furnish Eeys of the Jail to
a man who was not ariswerabie TO him.
Mr.. Chambers also holds that the opin-
give nthe board Wednesday. doesn't au-
thorize the construction the board gave it.
The authorities quoted sby the county at
torney, according to Mr.. Chambers, are
substantially the same as those quoted
by Mr.. Chambers.
Mr.. Chambers says that section 1127 of
the criminal code dehpes the sheriff
duties. One is that he shall furnish his
prisoners blankets, heat and hot water,
These were denied thes sheriff. according
to him. Commenting on the grand jury

further from a sectionf which authorizes
the grand jury to investigate the JAIL and

juries shall also make such present

Mr. Chambers admits that the county
board may have general jurisdiction of
the Jail but holds that this supervision
may be exercised only when the sheriff is
neglectful of his duty,

Mangum was asked.
