year-old Washington youth, was
sane or insane when he killed Mrs
Elizabeth Beckwith. sixty-five years
old, in her home near Colesville, this
county. the afternoon of December
20 last. is the sole question to be de-
termined by the jury impaneled in
the circuit court here today to try
the case.
The defense will not, it is under
stood, deny that Bowling killed the
aged widow. nor will it attempt to
refute any of the facts to be adduced
by the state in connection with the
actual homicide. A vigorous conten-
ton will be made, however, that the
boy was mentally irresponsible when
he dubbed the woman to death and
that he is still of unSOund mind

Noted Specialists Employed.

The trial is expected to be largely
A battle of alienists. The defense has
employed several noted specialists s
on mental diseases, including DIR.
Mount Hope Asylum. Baltimore. and
Dr.. Ernest J.. Bullard of Chestnut
Lodge Sanitarium. Rockville. Both
of these physicians and one or two
others have made careful study of
Bowling and are understood to be
prepared to swear that they consider
the boy to be far from sane now and
that they believe that his mental
condition was no better when he
killed Mrs. Beckwith.
The prosecution will rely upon the
testimony of. DR.. William A. White
superintendent of ST. Eliza beth Hos
pital. Washington, to prove it's con-
| tention that the boy knew right from
wrong when he committed the crime
and that he. therefore, should be pun
iShed
Bowling was formerly an inmate of
the National Training School at Bla-
densburg, Nd. He escaped from that
institution about year or more ago
and located in the ColesvilIe neighbor-
hood, working for various farmers of
that locality. Soon after coming to
Colesville he went to board with Mrs.
Beckwith, who lived by herself, and
was making his home there at the
time the woman met her death.
Will Conduct Prosecution.
Bowling will be defended by Ed
ward F. Colladay and Galen l.. TAFT
| of Washington and Charles w. Pret-
lyman of Rockville. States Attorney
| Albert NJ. Bouic will conduct the
prosecution.
! 1t is understood that the theory of
| the state is that Bowlings motive in
killing Mrs Beckwith was robbery.
| The prosecution inclines to the belief
! that the boy attempted to get hold of
the small amount of money in the
| house and that when Mrs. Beckwith
tried to prevent him from taking it
| he killed her.

Those were black days for all Amer

the sudden war and from the long ia

of dread lest the United States be
sucked into the maelstrom at time
when 1t was least prepared in money,
arms, or spirit. Never, perhaps, in hu-
man chronicle had so many people
looked with such bewildered misery
on so many people locked in such
multifarious carnage.
At such a time, as in an epoch of
plague, there came a desperate need
Of respite from woe; soldiers sky
larked in trenches; war widows
danced In gay colors; festivals were
held in the name Of charity; frivoli-
ties and vices were resorted to that
good souls might renew themselves

Of peculiarly comforting melancholy.
