vVOULD-BE assassin
APPEARS INSANE
Denies All knowledge of
Attempt to Shoot Up
Court.
SAYS MIND is BLANK.
Is Dazed, Nervous and Sullen-Youth
May be Sent to Government Hos
pital for Insane.

Washington, June 24.-SulIen and
unrepartant, Ray Stewart, IS years
old, who attempted to shoot down
Prosecutor S. McComas Hawken&,
and Policeman A. D. Moffett, in
Criminal Court No. !. yesterday af-
ternoon, declared in the DiStric, Jail
today that he did not remember the
shooting affray
"My mind is blank" he told At
torney Matthew E. O'Brien.
The young man was nervous and
refused to discuss the shooting to his
attorney and appeared to be dazei,
according to the latter. Attorney
O'Brien called at the District jail
early this morning and gave specific
instructions to his client not to talk
TO any one, and it is understood that
similar orders were issued by Justice
Stafford to he Jail authorities.
That the young man is insane, is
the contention of Attorney O'Brien.
The theory is based on the lads act
and the fact that his sister and an
uncle are alleged 10 be insane. An
effort will be made to have the youth
sent ito the Government Hosp:fs v
for the Insane, and it is probable that
a petition will he filed with the Cour.
before Friday
Under the conviction Of attempted
highway robbery Stewart faces three
years in the pcnitentiary. but it is
possible to convict him of assault to
kill and add fifteen years more. It
is probable that an Indictment for the
assault: charge vii be sought if the
lunacy proceedings fall 20 keep the
youth out Of the penitentiary.
It is believed that Stewart purch-
ased the revolver he used during the
noon recess. at court. He was at
liberty, beng on BOND. anl the poi'ce
are trying to find out where the wea-
pom was bought.
The fact developed today that
Stewart had threatened the life Of
Policeman Moffe:.. The authorities
had planned to watch him if he was
placed on probation. It is also be-
lieved that he intended to kill Prose
cutor Hawkens, and he had made
m,nacing remarks about him during
that day.
Attorney O'Brien was unable 20
get any information from the young
man when he visited him at the jail
today. The boy was sullen and re-
fused to talk aside from saying that
he did not remember what happened
Yesterday afternoon.

STORM BREAKS ANEW.
President Wilson Will Investigate Nc
Reynolds Affair.

The storm that has been gather
ing on account of Attorney-General
Nc Reynolds pos,ponement of the
Camhninetti-Diggs trial in Califor-
mia for alleged violations of the white
Aave act broke with renewed force
yesterday.
The, statement of Secretary of La,
bor Wilson that he requested the de-
Law in the court proceedings in the
interest of the immigration service
seemingly had the effect of making
bad matter worse.
Two resolutions were introduced
in the House, one calling for the pro-
duction., of all the papers in the case
by the Department of Justice and
another proposing an investigation
bv the House Judiciary Committee,
Another resolution of similar char
acter was ready to be introduced
in the Senate, and from California
came an appeal to President Wilson
from Judge Clayton Harrington Tor
the removal of McReynolds from his
office.
Judge Harrington aided District
Attorney McNab in the preparation
of the prosecution of Drew Cammi'
netti and Maury DiggS, in the ~hite
slave case, and strongly sympathizeS
with McNab in the action that ne mas
taken in requesting his resignatlor
be accepted on account of the post
ponement of the trial.
In the meantime, however, the AT
torney General is saying nothing,
but President Wilson has announced
his determination to make a thor
cugh investigation.

THREATENING WORDS.
lrate Former Official Says he Would
Cut Publishers Throat as he Would
A Butchers Dog.

Richmond, Va, June 24.-Carlton
Mccarthy, former Mayor of Rich
mond, gave sensational turn to the
typhoid fever epidemic controversy
yesterday, when at the session Of the
administrative board, of which he is
a member, and which controls the
water system, of the city, took the
floor on a point Of personal privi-
lege.
He termed an article and an editor
ial in. Sundays Times-Dispatch rela-
tive to the boards delay in acting on
the water question as deliberate lies
and hurled denunications at the pro-
prieors anG editors Of the paper. de-
spite the efforts of cooler heads
among the members of the board,
who sought to calm him.
Captain Mccarthy said McNam-
ara was needed in Richmond to de-
stroy the newspaper plant owned by
the Bryan estate, and in the heat OF
his speech he offered a motion that
the administrative board instruct the
City Engineer 20 place bichloriGe of
mercury in the pipes leading to the
Laburnum property, owned by the
Bryan estate, and into the pipes run
nirg to the rev l0-story building oc-
.cppied by the 'imes-Dispatch. The
motion was not considered by the
boarhl
The editorial in the Times-Dispatch
was as follows:
"The people OF Richmond can sub
nit to waste, Gelay, petty politics,
jealousy and ignorance in money
matters. They will not submit to tbs
risk Of life for any reason in the
world. The life Of one child is worth
$4,000 paid five. men to protect the
city by quick and responsive action.
II one death can be traced to this
delay, these men will be crushed by a
savage public o!inion and an eternal
rcmorse. They had best heed the
warning. They are playing with life.
The public demands protection.
Captain Mccarthy said the articles
were stab at him and affected his
wife and children. They might have
been written by men who may be
drunken buzzards or absolutely in
sane, he declared. He ADDED:

he continues these assaults he does

A LECTURE THAT

DR.. ROBERTS WILL TALK TO.
NIGHT ON "THE HUMoR AND
PATHoS OF TRAVEL

Tonight at the Duncan opera house
the third Of the series Of lectures and
entertainments being given for the
benefit Of the Las Vegas hospital will
occur Or. Frank II. II. Roberts Will
deliver his famous lecture, "Humor
and Pathos Of Travel
This lecture is one that has been
given in number of cities in the
southwest and also in the east. Dr.
Roberts has in each city in which he
has appeared received the highest
praise as a lecturer The hospital
board considers that it has been for
tunate in securing this excellent
speaker for its course.
1t is expected that the attendance
at the opera house tonight will be
large. The lecture in itself is intense
ly interesting; the subject assures
that fact
A number Of people who have pur-
chased season tickets for this lecture
course seem to have the impression
that they are merely contributing to
a good cause and that it is not worth
while attending the various numbers.
This is not the proper spirit, as such
persons are denying Themselves tn-
tertainment Of a high class. One of
the most discouraging features that
can confront a lecturer is lot Of
empty seats. The man may be strong
in every way, but unless he is ad-
dressing people instead of vacancy
the proper spirit cannot be put into
the lecture. The lecture that will be
delivered tonight is one of intense
interest and there is reason why the
attendance should be unusually large.
This is the case with all the other
attractions of the course. Persons in
other cities would be delighted with
the opportunity of hearing the men
and women included in this list.
Home folks" should show the same
