concerned with the enforcement Of
the prohibitory law. He would not
permit his name to be used, as that
would disclose the source Of his in

move of Hinkle is simply ruse OF
the brewers to attempt to take Kan

FATHER RUINED
LIFE Of son
BECAME BuRGLARAND MURDERER
on Trial for Killing School Teacher
Does Not Deny crlme--Mother
Tells Of Fathers
Brutality.

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 1.-THE
early life Of Bertram @. Spencer, on
trial in the superior criminal court
here for the murder of Miss Martha
B. Blackstone was laid bare by the
prisoners parents, Mr.. and Mrs. W.
L. Spencer OF Lebanon, Conn.
Spencer is accused Of being a "Dr
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" He is charged
with killing Miss Blackstone while
robbing a house, and has been called
the gentleman burglar" He has ad-
mitted the killing, but pleaded insan'
ity as a defense.
spencer's mother was the first wit
ness. She testified that when Bertram
was between and 4 years old his
father whipped him for some breach
Of propriety In church. During the
punishment the child fell and struck
his head against the stove, causing
a bad injury at the base Of the skull.
At the age Of years, the witness
said, Bertram seemed unable to mem
orize a short prayer, and his father,
believing the boy to be stubborn
took him into the woodshed, tied his
hands, laid him across the chopping
block and told him he was going to
cut his head of.
When the boy was years old, his
mother said, Mr.. Spencer whipped MIN
for stealing knife, breaking the butt
of a heavy whip over his head. Ever
since that time, Mrs. Spencer said,
her son had frequently complained OF
pains in his head.
When he was IA years old, Bert
ram enlisted in the navy, but Few
weeks later returned home. A burst
ing gun caused bad injuries to his
head about this time, his mother said.
Not long afterward Bertram left home,
but returned one evening and his
mother persuaded him to remain for
the night. When the father came
home and learned that Bertram was
in the house he rushed upstairs to the
boys room and jumped on Bertram
as he lay asleep.
The mother declared her son had
been subject to fits of frenzy when he
would froth at the mouth and make
a gutteral sound, when his eyes look
ed like "the eyes Of wild animal"
Mrs. Spencer said she had tried
twice to end her life by poisoning
once in 1894 and again in 1895. She
then gave long list Of relatives and
ancestors on both sides of her sons
family who had been insane.

Suicide.

St. Joseph, Mo-, Nov. lS.-George
c. Papineau, who confessed last week
to the murder of William Blake in
Chicago on July 6, last, but whose
confession is discredited by the Chi
eago police, was taken dangerously
Ill as the result Of an overdose OF
morphine struggled in to him at the
county jail, where he is serving a
30 days sentence for obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Papineau told the jail guards that
he had taken the drug to ease an at
tack of heart trouble. Physicians
declare that Paplneau is slowly dying
and probably will lose his reason az
a result of brooding over his alleged
crime.
