Among them are the remains of c.

said he had been compelled to aban-
don the search for bodies because of

him from the east. He added that
the remaining bodies had become so
scattered by the ocean currents that
further search was futile
The Nina has been working under
extreme difficulties ever since the
Mackay- Bennett departed from the
scene of the Titanic disaster. For
three days the fog was so dense that
captain De Carteret lost his bearings.
In a wireless message the Nina re-
ported finding the body of Assistant

widely the corpses have been scat

Justice keogh in the Supreme Court
ana asked for an order requiring the
superintendent OF the Matteawan
state Insane Asylum TO frame and
submit TO a jury the issue as TO
whether or not Thaw is now sane.
Thaw was not in court.
In presenting his application for a
jury MIR. Shearn made the remarkable
charge that DR.. William Hirsch, one
OF the three alienistS upon whose tes-
timony Thaw is confined, had declared
that Moses. Jacob, Jesus Christ and
the Apostle Paul were afflicted with
paranoia.
The sole issue to be handled, said
Mr.. Shearn, was whether or not Thaw
had paranoia, and he cited what ne
called the blasphemous opinion of the
expert published in book form in May,
1911, as leading reason why a jury
should be named to try the issue Of
fact.
]. S. Kellogg. deputy Attorney-Gen-
eral, and William Travers Jerome APP
peared for j. w. Russell, medical SUI
perintendent of Matteawan, to oppose

Mr.. Jerome challenged the right a.
the court to appoint a jury. In the
event jury Were called he said that IL
would sit only in an advisory capacity
ana its verdict would have no binding
force on the court.
Mr.. Jerome urged that Judge Keogh
himself was better fitted TO determine
the issue alone. He said that so per
cent of the paranoiacs in the chief in
stitution of the land would not exhibit
any outward tendencies Of the disease.
expert examination alone could de-
termine the fact that il required a
trained mind to grasp the details of the

After ten minutes of digging. amid

liberated, but little the worse for his

his arms, which were resting on his

Judge Bolen was excused.
DR.. G. b. Nuckols, of HillSville, was
next called. He is forty-six years old
and has been practicing sixteen years
He visited Commonwealth Attorney
Foster after he was shot; found him
in one of the courthouse rooms-the
jury room. Foster was almost dead
and speechless. and lived only few
minutes-about three or four minutes.
His death was due to bullet wounds
The witness saw about three holes, but
did not examine him. He saw he was
fatally hurt Moreover. others needed
base OF the brain; another near the
heart; third on the right side near
the abdomen Two at least would
have caused death. Witness said he
also attended Judge Massie. c. c. Cain,

AT this Juncture the judge announced
that Mrs. Allen desired to come into the
courtroom. He asked II any OF the
lawyers objected. No one had any OBJ
lecuons and the unhappy woman there
fore appeared a moment later. She
took a seat by her husband and sat
with bowed head. a picture OF woe.
Not word passed between Mrs
Allen and the melancholy figure in
black, but the old mans eyes looked
very watery when he felt the influence
or her presence. Indeed he seemed al
most overcome.
Dr.. Nuckols was examined at some
length as to the nature of the wounds
innicted on the dead and injured. The
object OF this was probably TO gain in
formation as to the direction in which
the shots were fred.
