Fearing that Guthrie would attempt
suicide, Captain Halpin stationed a
guard over him and the disposition Of
his case will depend on the result of the
examination today
There is no doubt that Guthrie's de-
Tense will be insanity. 1t is possible
that he may never be brought to trial
for robbing Chicago society leaders but
will be adjudged insane and sent to an
asylum.

his studious nature as a boy, he used
