SPENcER's DEFENSE
 WILL BE INSANITY. Has a Second Visit from His Mother
 and Sister.

For the second time since his start ling confession last Wednesday morn ly embraced his mother, Mrs. Wilbur L. L. Spencer. and his sister, Mrs. Nor man PuItz, in the York street jail Springfield, Friday morning. The prisoner, who had been confined in the police station from the time o1 his arrest until Thursday afternoon spent his first night in the jail Thurs day night and unless he is wanted by the police again at the police Sta- ton for further questioning he will remain in his present place of con- fnement until next Friday, the day set for his hearing in the police court.
 The meeting Friday morning of the confessed murderer and robber with his heartbroken mother and sister was again pathetic, and all three shed bitter tears during the visit, which lasted but a few minutes. Several wept and conversed, and it was plain ly apparent that all made every eff fort to bear up under the strain of the interview.
 In accordance with the rules of the jail, the grief stricken visitors were not permitted to give anything to the prisoner and after the two women had ended their visit of consolation and sympathy. the young man sobbed as he saw his loved ones depart. 1eav-
 
 iron bars
 Though most of the property has been identified, there yet remains a large quantity of unclaimed goods. including several watches and rings As the property is identified the claim ed goods are wrapped in packages and labeled for use in the trial of the pris- oner.
 Insanity the Defense.
 That the defense of the young pris- oner will be insanity is the accepted belief in view of statement made by his mother, Mrs. Wilbur l.. L. Spencer who asserts that several of his rela- tives have been so afflicted.
 In her statement, Mrs. Spencer said that her sons actions were undoubt- edly due to either the results of the wound in his head caused by a beat ing administered by his father at the age of years, or inheritance of i'm sanity. It is declared by the mother that his grandfather, William L. Spen- hospital. and Helen Date, a daughter by this mans first wife, was con- fined in an insane asylum for four years. It is also asserted that the prisoners great grandfather. Ambrose Spencer. although never adjudged in sane, suffered periodical attacks of insanity and that during these fits he would rave and froth at the mouth.
 With this evidence in mind, the rela- tives and friends of the young man have decided that Spencer was ire sponsible for his dastardly actions, and an attempt will be made to have him to an insane asylum. Spen- cer, in his confession it is understood, attributes his nefarious career to pe- riodicaI attacks of weakness and his inability to control his unsuitable de- sire to rob with a loaded revolver.

Western Union to Institute a
Transcontinental Let
ter Delivery.

The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany has announced another innova-
ton in telegraph service called the
special ocean mail service" designed
to save time in foreign correspond
ence. A letter from San Francisco to
London requires as much time across
the continent as it does crossing the
ocean. A New York merchant writing
to Yokohoma must post his letter
practically a week before the mail
steamer from San Francisco or Van
couyer sails.
The Western Union has arranged
for the use of its night letter and 9TH
er telegraphis service in connection
with outgoing ocean mails so that this
week of transcontinental time may be
saved. Its New York Office will re-
ceive kilograms from any part of the
country destined to European ad-
dresses and will forward them in a
sealed specially addressed envelope
by the first outgoing Atlantic steam
ship mail. The same plan will be fol-
lowed in San Francisco. Seattle and
Vancouver for Trans-Pacific mails.
This will enable correspondents to
be dispatched from any point of the
United States for an ocean mail with
in a few hours of the sailing time. The
only charge in addition to the usual
