BLAKE NOT INSANE
WHILE AT MARION
srTPERINTENDENT KING, OF AsY-
LUM. MAKES STATEMENT JUsTI-
FLYING RELEASE.
OBSERVED CASE DAILY
WIDE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
OPINION OF EXPERTS AND HOS
PITAL SYMPHONIES DE-
MES LAW WAS OVERLOOKED.
. BETWEEN

That Lord" Charles w. N. Blake.
who was sent to the Marion asylum
for the criminally insane after his
trial here last May on charge of bigamy
and who was released from the insti-
tuition last Saturday, was at no time
insane between June LIST and the date
of his release, was the assertion yes
terday of J. c. King, superintendent
of the Marion asylum. Superintendent
King In his statement justif1es the
release of Blake with the declaration !:
"Inasmuch as he had been acquitted
Of all charges and there was no evil
dence of insanity he could not legally
be detained in the institution.
Mr.. King points out that Richmond
court authorities appear to have over
looked chapter 800 of the acts of
1910 which gives the State the right
to place person who becomes insane
at the time hts case comes to trial In
an asylum for observation OF his men
tai condition. and provides that such
person may be returned to court for
trial in the event he RECEIVERS sanity
The LAW Not Overlooked.
This portion of the statement OF Mr.
King draws from Commonw ealths At
torney Folkes the fact that the court
went even further than this into the
case of Blake, that it went through
his mental history from his birth, and
that it was shown that all his life
Blake has suffered paranola, pro-
gressive form of insanity.
We found Blake was 1unauc all
his life" said Mr.. Folkes, and there
was nothing to be gained by incarf
cerating him for observation. Even
though he had been returned to us as
entirely normal mentally he could not
be tried on the charge of bigamy, as
it was conclusively shown at his trial
that he was insane at the time of his
criminal act. Special attention was
paid Blakes mental condition at the
time he contracted his bigamous mar
riages, as well as al the time Of his
trial" Mr. FoIkes concluded.
Mr. Folkes. and Clerk Walter Chris
tian. of the Hastings court. express
the belief that superintendent King
should have given the Richmond court
officials notice Of the release of Blake.
Lawyers Advised Release
Regarding the freeing OF Blake.
superintendent King says the man
was not released without having first
secured the advice of lawyers as to the
action. The case was laid before sew

eraI. Mr.. King says, and their opinion
was unanimous that since charges
against him had been dismissed when
he was committed to the asylum and
that he had become sane ne could not
be further detained in the asylum.
Briefly reviewing the case of Blake
and telling Of hts conduct while az
the Marion institution Mr.. King says.
Blake was admitted TO the insti-
tuition June l. 1913. He was COM
mitted by order Of the court of tho
city Of Richmond. after having been
tried by a jury and found to be in-
sane at the time of the trial, and
at the time of the alleged offense.
Whereupon it was ordered that this
prosecution against the said Charles
w. N. Blake he dismissed, and he
was committed to the criminal fns
sane department of this institution.
No Symptoms of Insanity.
From the date of his admission,
June /. 1913, to the time of his dis.
charge, August 16, 1918. his case was
daily observed and carefully studied
by the hospital staff We are frank
to say that during this time we found
absolutely no symptoms Of insanity.
Justice may have been defeated In
this case, yet we are In no way re-
sponsible, as there is no law in Vff-
ginia whereby a person not insane
and not charged with d crime can
be put away for life in an asylum"
The statement that there were no
symptoms of insanity displayed by
Blake during the time he spent at
the institution makes 1t appear that
the noted alienists were mistaken
when they testified that he was In
sane all his life and that his insan-
ity was of a progressive nature.
Expert Alienist Surprised.
DR. l.. S. Foster, of Norfolk. one
of the experts who testified at the
trial that Blake was "hopelessly In
sane since BIRTH" expressed surprise
yesterday when he heard of Lord
Blake's release. and declared that
he should never have been turned out
of the institution. atfs
Detective Sergeant wiltshire. who
With Detective Wrenn, now retired,
worked up the evidence in the case
against Blake, have commended all
along that Blake was shamming In
sanity They feel that their opinion
was as good. If not better, than tho
experts and they point to that por-
ton of the statement of Superinten-
dent King. which declares that Blake
made no showing of mental unbal-

OSCAR INv0ktS
ANTITRUST LAW
FROM GIVING GRAND OPERA
IN ENGLISH.
NOT RESPONSIBLE
AT TINE HE ENTERED INTO AN
AGREEMENT WITH METROPOL-.
IrAN, HE WAS NOT HIM
SELF.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.--Oscar Ham
m.,.eIn answer 10 the Metropolitan
Opera company's injunction suit to
restrain him from giving grand opera
In English this fall. was served on
tho plaintiffs attorneys this afternoon.
1t Is drawn by ex-United States Attor-
aey Henry A. Wise. and alleges that
the Metropolitan Opera company is
an unlawful combination In restraint
of trade and commerce.
Mr.. Hammerstein also alleges that
tho plaintiffs wicked and unlawful
acts to drive him out of the opera
producing business. made him a men
tai and physical wreck in 1910, when
ne sold out to the Metropolitan. and
agreed: not to produce opera here for
ten years, and that he was not re-
sponsible for his acts when he signed
the agreement to keep out Of opera.
Arthur Signed It.
He says further that his son. Ar
thur. as his attorney, in fact, signed
the agreement that he was to keep
out Of opera when he understood that
he was to have an interest in the
merger of the Manhattan and Metro
politan Opera companies. He says
his love for his son prevented him
from repudiating the latter's acts.
ar. Hammerstein's answer. which
makes the first use of the Sherman
antitrust law in defending a suit over
the production of grand opera. covers
seventy-eight typewriter pages, The
answer of his son. Arthur, which Is
similar. was also served today by his
counsel.
Admits His Skill.
Mr. Hammerstein's answer denied
all the allegations of the Metropoli-
tan's complaint except that he ad-
mits that prior TO 1910 he had ''ac-
quIred skill. experience. and know
ledge of the production Of grand
opera" and he also admits that the
opera-going public is but small part
OF the general public. He admits that
Edward r. Stotesbury, of Philadel-
phia. paid $1,000, 600 for the Phila-
delphia opera house but says he re-
ceived all the money and denies that
hts son. Arthur. got anything.
Hammerstein denies that the pub
lie statement that ne intended to
give grand opera in English was made
in bad faith. and denies that the City
club conceived "a plan Of giving opera
in English before him. He alleges that
1.-The announcement was so made by
the City club as part and parcel OF an
unlawful plan and purpose Of this
plaintiff. and divers other persons, to
monopoize the business Of giving
grand opera in New York"

mate 60 calves. Half Of these will
belong to the renter. Thirty calves at
SIS a head are not bad things to pay
interest with. Even if only two car
loads of hogs are raised during a
single year, one car load will belong
to the renter. "A good car load OF
hogs will bring $1,000. This is not
bad money; but on the other hand is
clean, honest reward for the labor
expended. In addition to this the
gain on the steers, stock cattle, etc, is
not to be despised. Of course it all
rests with the renter what shall be
done with the odds and ends-scrut
pigs, etc. Frequently he can buy out
the land owners share and raise then
on his own hook. When the lant
owner and renter work together rent

The cattle feeding done upon this
. ~, ;e worth uratchinu Alfalfa hay

The cattle feeding done upon this
farm is worth watching. Alfalfa hay
and corn form the bulk Of the ration.
Right here it might be well to state
how the alfalfa crops grown upon
this farm are handled. AS the alfalfa
hay must be har7ested-at least two
crops of fright in the rush OF
spring and early summer work, the
quicker it can be secured the better.
Formerly the first two crops were put
into the hay barn. The hay barn
upon this place is a great structure
with accommodations for cattle run
ming all around it. Of course the hay
is unloaded from the wagons with
sings which are drawn up on a cable
by a team of horses.
All kinds and sorts Of machinery
are used out in the hay field. An $8s
stacker makes stacking easy. Twt

on this farm a pleasure. The stacks
can be built up high enough SO good
drainage is assured. The low stacks
soon spoil enough good feed to pay
for a stacker. On this farm a cap
of millet is put on the top OF the
stack when it is completed.
The first man who rented the farm
exchanged work with his neighbors
or hired a few extra boys during the
alfalfa harvest. The present renter
follows the same system. AS a loader
is used to throw the hay upon the
hay racks when hauling to the hay
barn the assistance of three or four
pitchers is dispensed with.
The alfalfa is fed during the fall
and winter months with as little
waste as possible. The hay which is
put into the barn never needs to be
handled again, most Of it anyway, fol
the cattle can reach in and help them
selves. The hay which is stacket
outside is fed in well-constructet
