Keeping a courtroom of specta-
tors continually on the alert and
often sending them into fits of
laughter by some pointed shot at
the states attorneys, Alfred r.
Exley, alleged insane business
man, resumed the defense of his
own trial on charges of insanity
before Judge Card this morning.
Shortly before noon Exley and
Judge Card engaged in a spirited
tiff, in which Exley asserted the
judge was not telling the truth
about a certain alleged bond for
his release.
A large number Of letters writ
ten by Exley, in which he prophe-
sled destruction of the world and
condign punishment to be meas
ured out to all he considered his
foes were read to the jury.
During the course of the morn
ing, Exley declared war on the
United States ON behalf of Great
Britain and other countries, be-
cause he said he had not been
treated as a British subject should
be treated.

House in which he criticized absen-

Kansas that members who do not at

money should resign and go home.
The speech caused more consterna-

CITY COURT CASES

In the city court this morning Clio
vanni De Rosa, accused of causing
the death of Antonio Venuccio, three
weeks ago Sunday, was arraigned up
on a charge of murder in the first de-
gree. He was not put to- plea for
the reason that an extension of time
was asked by the officers who arrest
Ell him in Rochester, n. Y, that they
might prepare the case against him.
II is understood that through the eff
forts of Detectives Frank VirelH of
the State Police and James Bray of
the local force, a full confession of
ais deed has been made. Though
the utmost reticence was displayed in
discussing the case today 1t became
known that De Rosa has admitted the
stabbing and the warrant charges him
with feIoniously, wilfully, deliberate
ly and premeditatively assaulting his
victim with a stiletto, causing a
wound from which death resulted. De
Rosa was held without bail until Sep
TENDER goth when his case will be
heard in the city court.
The long continued case Of Mary
and Anthony Fra enza, AL East Main
by seven continuances from April Is,
when the arrests were made, was
again postponed until October Is, at
request of counsel John s. Pullman.

and Patrolman Wheeler who attempt
ed to arrest him after annoying a
customer of a Water street store, was
fined 81 and costs and sentenced to
thirty days in the county Jail upon a
charge of vagrancy.
Because he objected to being served

all fined today. Fines imposed were

CONNECTION WITH MURDER

of obstetrical instruments. several
surgical saws and bone forceps. The
finding of these instruments, coupled
with the fact that Muret and Schmidt
had been cronies for some months,
caused the detectives to press with re-
newed vigor the search for something
which might directly connect the dem
fist with the murder of Anna Aumuller.
A strong physical resemblance be-
tween Muret and Schmidt led the de-
tectives to question Muret as to his
possible relationship to the latter
Muret claimed there was none. Inspec-
tor Feurot, in charge of the detective
bureau, was of different mind.
The foreheads are the same he
said. THE eyes are the same. The
same. If these two men are not
brothers, they are closely related
Schmidt's pretensions to insanity, in
the opinion of Coroner Feinberg, have
been dealt a death blow by the bear
ing of his record as counterfeit.
Schmidt impresses me as an I'M
scrupulous man with a master mind
Mr. Feinberg said. Think of a man
who is able to qualify for the minis-
try, who is a forger of great skill
mechanic enough to coin money, who
might have dabbled in medicine and
who has the ability to commit the
crime Schmidt is charged with. That
indicates no ordinary mind .
William Flynn, chief of the United
States secret service, reached New
York, today,and began an examination
of Schmidt and Muret's counterfeiting
methods and plant
Muret told the police he was born in
Chicago. Framed in his office was a

have been issued at Chicago December
%, 1911, by the Dental Protective As

years and had been a student at the
Berlin dental college of Berlin, Ger

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Have the walls of your house a
pleasant, restful tone, and you can
do without pictures.
In storing fruits and vegetables for
winter, only sound and mature spect-
mems should be used.
Whole wheat bread sandwiches with
filing of sliced banana and nut meats
is a delicious luncheon.
Take an hour off and spend it with
an oil can in your hand, touching up
the stiff casters, hinges, etc.
To keep a doormat in position, hook
it down, the hooks being on the floor
and the brass rings on the mat.
Cold fruit soup is excellent in hot
enthusiastically it is sweetened a
very little and thickened with tapioca.
