James y. Houston, the latter being a
former Treasurer Of the United States,
indicted for conspiracy to use the mails
TO defraud. showed that a former resi-
dent Of Missouri-the "show-meH State
Herbert e Swan, OF Oklahoma City.
Okla, actually made the first complaint
against the alleged fraud
Mr. Swan was the star witness today.
His testimony brought out the point
that he had become suspicious of the
concern operated by the three defend
ants and had come TO Washington in
December, 1905. to be shown
he said on the witness stand that the
showing made was not satisfactory, and,
being true MissOuriau, he took the

DECISION TO SAVE
DISTRICT $4,000
INDECENT Insane Patient
Charge on Virginia, De-
clareS Counsel.

That Mamie Rebecca Lieber, an in
oiSent patient at the Government
Hospital for the Insane, Is a charge
upon the State Of Virginia, and that
the District is not responsible for her
maintenance, IS the opinion of the
Corporation SoUnsel. submitted 10 the
Commissioners today.
The decision IS regarded as impor-
tant by the Commissioners and the
Board OF Charities in determining
similar cases.
The patient came TO Washington in
1906 She was then seventeen years
mental trouble in a private sanitar-
ium IN Maryland and In 1908 was re
moved to the Goveryment Asylum for
the Insane, where she has since re-
mained at the expense Of the Dis
trict-
There Is no hope OF recovery, II is
said, and If the patient lives the cost
of her maintenance VIII probably
amount to $4,000
The Board Of Charities was Of the
opinion that she was properly a charge
Of the State OF Virginia, but the attOr-
ney general Of the commonwealth held
that she had lost her legal residence
and therefore could not be sent 10 a
hospital for the insane in that State
Corporation Counsel Thomas holds,
however, that as the girl was under the
age Of twenty-One when she removed TO
Washington, she did not lose her Cii-
Eenship in the state Of Virginia
In view Of this opinion. the Board Of
Charities will endeavor TO have the pa
tent transferred 10 a Virginia inSttu-

In explanation OF this statement
Mr. Swan said that he was not thor
oughiy satisfied with the reliability of
the concern and subsequently he came
TO Washington 10 investigate
Arriving in Washington Mr. went

the concerns operated by the three de-
