acknowledgement and former chair
man of the Republican state central
committee has declared himself in ia
vor of the nomination of Elihu Root
of New York, as the Republican can
didate for president.
This is the first declaration of choice
made by anyone prominent in Mime

is the first one to hold a presidential
preference primary. Mr.. Smiths dec
laration possesses mere than ordinary
significance.
II don't know whether Senator
Root will be candidate for the nomi-
nation or not" Mr.. Smith said, "but
| am Convinced that of all the men
mentioned as possible candidates for
the presidency he is the one with
whom the Republicans would have the
best chance to win. l am also con-
vinced that he is the choice of the ma
jority of the Republicans of the state.
l have been interviewing men relative
to this subject for the past 80 days,
and almost invariably / find them ia
voring Mr.. Root, because he is the
ablest man who is eligible and because
there is also general feeling that
only the ablest man should be placed

INNOCENT; SERVES FOR CRIME.
I. r. BueI, Confined for Is Months,
Promises Not to Prosecute
Friend-"State Paid"

Minneapolis, Mimi With the
memory of 16 months confinement in
the reformatory at ST. Cloud for a
crime he did not commit, fresh in his
mind, L. R. Buell.. 1902 Third avenue
south. listened to friends confes-
sion of the crime and promised not
to prosecute him.
Conscious-stricken, the friend came
to the little home where Buell. is try.
ir : to forget and start again, and told
him of his crime. The friend, mar.
ried and with children to support, left
with Buelrs assurance that the state
has had it's pay for the crime and
will not claim the liberty of the gull
ty man.
In the fall of 1912, while Buell. was
with two companions, forged check
for $3.50 was passed in Minneapolis
Buel, not knowing a crime had been
committed and nothing of the check
departed SOON after for Portland
Ore, where he found work.
Forged Check Passed.
Several weeks later he met a friend
in Portland who told him the Mime
apolis police wanted him. Buell. went
to the chief of detectives in Portland
and told his story. The chief wired
Minneapolis asking if Buell. was
sought.
Hold Buell., we hold warrant, will
send for him." the answer came back
Buell. voluntarily accompanied De
tective Fritz Gilman to Minneapolis

charged with forgery. The grand jury

DOCTORS DECLARE
DR|SkELL INSANE
AilENlsTs FIND YOUTH, WHO
FOUR TIMES CONFESSED
MURDER, MONoMANIAc.
MALADY HARD TO DETECT
Member Of Examining Board Explains
Verdict-Asserts Patient is Nor
NAL Except On One Subject
Has Fixed DeIusion.

eapolis.-Alfred Driskell, who
has four times confessed to the MUIR
der of Miss Alice Matthews, was
found insane by three alienists who
examined the suspect before w. E.
Bates, court commissioner. Driskell,
the physicians said, was suffering
from monomania. He was committed
to the state hospital at Rochester fol-
lowing the verdict.
In making their decisions, Drs. T.
F. Quimby, L. F. Foote and L. M.
Crafts, who comprise the examining
board, secuted the idea that Driskell
had committed the Matthews murder.
They made their decision after ques-
tioning the man for more than an
hour, mostly on the question of time.
His mother had stated that Alfred
had been at home on the night OF
the murder until IL p. m. Driskell,
in his story, insisted that he had met
the Matthew girl before that hour.
At the hearing Driskell's story was
more rambling than usual. He failed
to remember details that he had in
cluded in the original story of the
killing. When asked as to his ances.
tors, he insisted that he was direct
descendant of King Alfred the Great
In explaining the verdict, DR.. Foote
said: "Monomania is one of the most
difficult forms of insanity to detect
Often the patient is perfectly normal
on all except one subject. Such is the
case with Driskell. He suffers from
the delusion that he is a murderer.
Often in cases of monomania the pa
tient forms the delusion that he is q
king. Driskell has explained logically
all the events that led up to the crime
he believes he committed"
