YOUNG MAN HAS
BECOME INSANE
Because Of Death Of Woman
With Whom He Was Driving.

Poughkeepsie, Oct 5.-Robert Davis,
prominent young man of Armenia,
Dutchess county, has gone insane be-
cause of an accident last Saturday
night. Davis and Miss Bertha Dorsey,
school teacher, were driving near
the Harlem division of the New York
Central railroad when their horse be-
came frightened.
Davis got out to hold the horse by
the head. The animal plunged, broke
away from Davis and ran on the tracks
just as an express train came along
and killed Miss Dorsey and the horse.
The affair has so preyed upon the
young mans mind that he has lost his
reason and attending physicians say
it is possible he may never again be
sans.

Four Of the twelve jurors who Nsten-

majority, bluntly accused Eastman Of
the murder. None of the four dissenting

City Ordered by War Department to
Remove Center Piers Of Bridges.
Washington, June 29.-Chicsgo must
remove the center piers of the Indiana
and Lake street bridges before Dec.
81, 1910. This decision has been reach
ed by the war department, and the
Judge advocate general is now engaged
in preparing the formal order which
will shortly be issued.
The federal government takes the
position that with appropriations for
deepening and widening the river the
municipality must cooperate in re-
moving Instructions to the navigation
which the river improvements invite.
So great has been the growth in the
size Of the lake steamers that the CEN
ter piers in the Chicago river have
become Instructions, and unless the
city Is willing to sustain in the courts
Abe position that further river i'm
provements are not desired, the mu-
nicipality must bow to the control
which the war department exercises.
The war department has also refused
the request Of the city authorities for
permission to use the temporary bridge
to Goose Island beyond Dec. 81, 1909.

News Of tho State.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, June 29.-As result
of the address of Dean John Wigmore,
of the Northwestern University Law
School. who is the highest salarled
dean OF law school there Is in the
United States, there is likely to be
some changes in the running of courts
In the state of Iowa. Lawyers who
heard the address at Marshalltown be-
fore the Iowa Bar Association have
since been discussing the address and
the better lawyers are all of the opin-
ion that his advice should be needed.
Dean Wigmore declared that there
should be very great advancement
along certain lines OF legal practice.
and that the time had past for holding
to hard and fast lines One thing in
particular is likely to be remembered
by every judge on the district bench
who heard Dean Wigmores address
when he comes to administer another
oath. The custom of the court In call
Ing for all the witnesses on one side of
a suit to stand and then rattling off
an oath which none of them could dis
ringuish clearly and allowing them to
bow or humble an acquiescence to ii
was severely rebuked by Dean Wig
more. He urged that each witness be
sworn separately. He urged further
more that in swearing a witness every
person in the room be made to stand to
his feet and during a solemn hush a
suitable oath be read slowly to the
witness and his verbal acquiescence be
required. Under such conditions Dean
Wigmore thought there would be less
perjury.
Another phase of the DEANS address
which lawyers are discussing Is his ad-
vocacy of more elastic laws in dealing
with criminals. He advocated that the
time is far past when each criminal
should be treated alike for the same
offense, and that the punishment in
each instance should depend upon the
character of the criminal. He believed
that criminals should be prescribed for
according to their individual needs as
carefully as physicians prescribe for
patients according to their individual
needs and while the treatment might
be along similar lines there would be
as much difference as in the prescrip-
tions of a physician for the same all
ment in different persons.
From this line of thought he took
up anarchists and claimed that an an
archist was not necessarily a man who
walked about with bomb shell in his
hands. F[e gave very carefully pre-
pared explanation of what an anarchis.
was in his estimation and thought that
any man whether by lobbying thru a
legislature or by engaging learned
counsel to contest thru the courts In
an attempt to destroy law was as much
an anarchist as any one and should be
dealt with as such.

MRS. wooDlLL's pARENrAeE.
Brilliant Girl Was Legitimate Child Of
Unknown Parents.


st. Michaers, Nd. June 29.-That
Mrs. Edith May Thompson woodill was
of parentage worse than obscure, and
that the graces and power to attract
men with which she was by nature en-
dowed were used by her foster-mother
as an asset with which to attain social
distinction for herself, were two devel-
opments today in the tragedy that has
cast pail over the sunny eastern shore
of Maryland.
Colenel Charles H. Thompson, the
man who adopted the victim of the
murder, himself robbed, the life of the
girl of the poor glamour of romance
which had been attributed to 1t by ad-
mitting today that she was an illeg:ri-
mate child. The offspring of an un-
lawful union, she came into the world
gifted with glittering ability to fasc-
nate and use men, and, becoming the
ward of Lyman ]. Gage. she was en-
abled to exercise this gift to the limit
In the language of some of the neigh
bors, she was swift one"
w. Scharb, who for years kept a
store near here and conducted the
postoffice, saw the girl frequently. He
said today:
Edith was a good girl. 1t Is true
that Mrs. Thompson desired to shine
as social leader and used her as a
means of gaining entrance to circles to
which she would never have been ad-
mitted alone. 1t Is true Mrs. Thomp-
son taught her to make herself attrac-
tive to men, and especially old men,
Il do not believe that Mrs. Thomp-
son did or allowed the girl to do any
thing wrong. Edith had fine eyes, and
used them effectively. She could do
most anything she wanted with a man
with those eyes.
There was one peculiar thing about
Edith-she never had any girl friends.
Never have I known her to have a girl
chum. 1t was always men-chiefy old
men,"
