on Fifth street. At Fourth and Wal

Patrolman Mcdaniel and they both
went to Fifth street
Councilman Joseph l.. McDermott,
who arrived at Sixth and Market

to Patrolman Francis Green, at Sew

heard the shots and he looked down

adding that as insanity had moi been
offered as defense he did not see
why the State should take up that
point.
Shows Guilty Conscience.
"The conduct Of the prisoner since
his arrest shows he has a guilty con
science in his breasti" exclaimed Mr..
Wolcott 1T is damaging conduct
If we can show that he is sane what
is tho purpose of his pretending to
be insane? Doesn't that show
guilty conscience? ] maintain that
the conduct Is manufactured and that
il is false pretense which the State
can tear down the same as if the de-
fendant had built up false case"
Mr.. Wolcott then read from several
authorities TO show that pretense OF
insanity is an acknowledgment OF
guilt and that flight is also evidence
Of the conscious guilt of a crime com
mitted. Mr.. Wolcott explained tha'
he understood that he did not have
TO prove that the defendant was sane
except in rebuttal TO claim by the
defense that he was insane.
Mr.. Reinhardt contended that no
evidence had been offered as to the
alleged feigned insanity other than
that the prisoner had mumbled and
refused to answer questions. He de-
clared that if Mr.. Wolcott's evidence
was to be admitted, it should be
admitted as rebuttal to evidence
pertaining to show that Krakus was
insane. "Why undertake TO prove
that he is sane before any evidence
has been offered to show that he is
insane?" he asked. The court ruled
that the witness testimony in this
line was not admissible and he was
excused.
Or. Henry Kraemer. physician at
the County Workhouse, was called
; and stated that he had Kralxus under
his observance while at the work
house. He was asked if he had
watched to see il he was sane or in
sane, and Mr.. Reinhardt objected to
the question, the court sustaining the
objection. He declared that Krakus
had theree wounds, one bullet pass
ing through his left forearm causing
! two wounds. and another bullet strilS-
ing Him in the right thigh above the
knee.

ton Of Major General George W.
Goethals as governor OF the Panama
Canal gone and his departure from the
isthmus. where he has been In supreme
command for the last eight years, viii
be the beginning OF other changes.
The most important OF these will be the
probable elevation OF Lieutenant Colonel
Chester Harding from head OF the de-
partment OF maintenance and operation
TO be governor. II has all along been
understood on the isthmuB and this under

General Goo pals that Colonel Harding
would succeed 20 the governorship. In

known that be obetained the detail OF
Colonel Harding TO the isthmus for that
very purpose.

by Lieutenant Allen b. Reed, now com
