Chatham, Va. October 1.-THE
courthouse was too small to hold the
large gathering of voters from all
sections of Pittsylvania to-day to
hear issues of the impending campaign
discussed with power and effect in the
interest Of the candidacy of Congress-
man Saunders. The first speaker was
Senator Thomas S. Martin, whose ut
terances had mainly to do with the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill and Republic
can extravaganza generally.
Congressman Saunders followed In
one of the most logical and convincing
speeches ever delivered by him to an
audience in this county. Evidence OF
the interest felt in his behalf was the
undivided attention of his hearers
Senator Swanson was the last, and
his discussion of Congressman Saund-
ers's opponent was most effective.
j. n. Thurston: Of Nebraska, and
Hon. Samuel Harris Hoge, of Roanoke,
spoke in behalf of the candidacy of
Hon. John NJ. Parsons, Republican.
Congressman Saunders Will spend
several days canvassing Pittsylvania
county. A brass band from Danville
added very much to the enthusiasm of
the day.

On M0ndIy at the Toxic Appeal
Court, before Judge Miyamoto, a far
mel named Gisci Haseba, % years old,
sonvicted of numbering his p~arents-ln-
law and severely injuring his wife at
OsatO-gori, Saitama prefecture, in
1908, appealed from the judgment of
the drama local court, where he was
sentenced to penal servitude for life.
Since April last year, during the
public trial of the accused, he has not
uttered a single word, the Japan Ad-
vocate says. This attitude led the
Judge and the public prosecutor to
conclude that he feigned madness as
a last resort, hoping to get released.
He was medically examined by DR..
kure and Dr.. Miyake. and in this ex-
animation DR.. Miyake adopted a sin.
gular method.
There is a belief that the blood OF
a venomous snake is soluble with that
of an ordinary man, but not with that
Of a mailman. The doctor applied this
suspected l~unatic, and sure enough
the blood of a snake did not
dissolve in the blood Of the accused.
Thus the doctor concluded that he was
really mad.
The other doctor also gave evidence
about the lunacy of the defendant. The
Judge ordered that the trial should be
postponed until the accused was recOv-
cred from his abnormal condition.
