NeighbOr Tells of Lawrence
Mans Eccentricifies.

Senator Arthur Capper was called
this morning to testify in the case of
T. J. Lamb, who is being tried in the
probate court on a charge of insanity.
Capper stated that he has known
Lamb for several years and that the

his office and talked of political af-
fairs but that he had discussed them
with apparent intelligence.
Lambs trial was begun. Tuesday
morning, with Ed Rooney and John
Hamilton as his attorneys and Ed
Riley of Lawrence assisting the coun-
Lamb is said to have at one time act
ed as private secretary to several
United States senators. He claims his
brothers are trying to get him out of
the way on account of a 5000 acre
estate that will fall to them upon the
death of their mother.
Evidence was introduced this morn
ing to show some of Lambs eccen-
tricities. c. A. Huddleston, of Law
renee. who lives across the street
from the Lamb home, testified that
within the last two years he has
frequently heard woman scream in
chasing his wife in the yard and ours
ing her. He said that last summer,
during the extremely hot weather, he
saw the patient on the street with his
overcoat on his arm. He also testified
that Lamb has a powerful electric
light installed on the top of his house
and others around the yard

the Topekan spent at the western
front. Lewis served with the Cana
dian forestry (engineers) and return

he was located just short distance
