OF ALFRED EVANS
VI. J. McEniry Working to Lihcratc
Carbon Cliff Man Who Is in
WATERFOWL Hospital.
WAS COMMITTED e6 YEARS AGO
Sent to Institution When Jury Found
Him Insane in Celebrated
Arson Case.

Alfred Evans, who 26 years ago was
tried for arson in Rock Island circuit
court and was found to have com
uitted the acts charged hut to be in
sane" Will soon be liberated from the
Waertown hospital, if plans OF NJ. ].
McEniry, Moline, are successful. Mr..
NcEniry and his brother, William
McEniry. defended Evans in one of the
most sensational cases ever tried in
this county.
II was on Aug. Il, 1890, that Evans.
then a young farmer aged 80 years,
terrorized the Carbon Cliff neighbor-
hood. It. is said that he had a serious
Quarrel with his wife and that after
he had assaulted her. and shot at her
foster father. Charles Cushman. that
he set IRE 10 the barn, and in the blaze
which entailed the loss of S.. coo, three
head of horses. several COWS. 500 bush
els OF corn, two years supply of hay
and agricultural implements were
burned.
Find Him Insane.
Led by Mr.. Cushman. a mob was
formed and the conditions were ripe
for a lynChing but Evans fed to Rock
Island and surrendered himself to
Sheriff SiIvis, in order to secure pro-
lection. The trial which followed
stands out as one OF the most unique
in all Of the criminal history Of the
county. Counsel for Evans admitted
the crime of arson but set up insanity
as a defense. The jury returned a yer
dict on Sept. -. 1890. finding the acts
committed as charged, and we further
believe the defendant has since become
insane and is now insane" Judge
Smith, presiding. directed that the jury
correct the verdict, eliminating the
word believe" and substituting find. -
As a result Evans for % years has been
an inmate of state hospitals.
Jury Is indicated.
Il was the contention Of the state at
the time OF the trial that Evans was
perfectly sane and that he was merely
pretending insanity, in order TO escape
the penitentiaTy. if not the gaIlOws.
The interesting feature is that the au-
thorities at the WatertOwn hospital
after all these years refuse to dis
charge Evans as cured, thus evidently
sustaining the conclusion OF the jury
in the arson case years ago. Meeting
of the medical staff of the hospital will
be held soon, it is declared at which
time the alieniSts will make a thorough
examination into Evans case. in an eff
fort to reach a definite conclusion as
to his mental condition.
Indictment Still in Force.
The Indictment against Evans is
still pending. as the court in commit
ting the defendant to kankakee, direct
ed that when his sanity returned, he
should be brought back for trial TO tht
Rock Island circuit court. Since d per

To Encamp on Island.

During centennial week they will
be encamped on Rock island in a vii
lage which they will construct, con-
sisting of a number of "wickiops," or
winter hunting lodges. They will be
led by Chief Push Elton Eke-Qua and
the party will consist of 25 braves and
numerous women and children. They
will wear the costume of the Indians
at the time the white settlers came to
this part of the country and will give
the native dances at various times.
These dances will consist of the
snake dance, scalp dance, war dance
and worship dance and are said to be
extremely weird and awe-inspiring.
The braves are also expert lacrosse
players, and if field large enough
can be secured, it is probable that
matches will be staged between teams
picked from the party.
In their native state these Indians
also are known to be addicted to the
dog feasts, and Mr.. Hauberg states
that few days before his visit to the
settlement the chief entertained the
braves at one of these feasts, at which
10 dogs were served and greatly rel
ished
