Judge Declares
Himself Insane
By Expert Tests

CHICAGO. March Is-If Carl
Wanderer is insane, under the tests
applied to him by the alienists, then
80 per cent of the population is also
crazy. This was brought out at his
trial in a number Of sharp tilts be-
tween Judge David and DR.. William
Hickson, Of the Psychopathic Lsbo-
ratory. who applied a number "a
tests to wanderer.
These questions are ridiculous. ="
said the Judge. ANY sane man
might give half a dozen answers
and not hit the one you claim is
right Why, I could give half a
dozen sane answers myself"
They wouldn't be sane. your
honor" replied DR.. Hickson: they
would indicate deviation from nor
mality"
The defense is using DR.. Hickson
and other alienists in an effort To
prove that Wanderer is a cataton ic
dementia praecox case. and for this
purpose he was required TO arrange
a number Of small cubes. make SEN
tences without verbs, and repeat
numbers.
During the animated discussion
over the tests applied to wandercr
the members Of the jUry began TO
wonder IL they, too We're not in
sane, as the tests were such that
they could not have answered half
the questions according TO the rule
laid down by the psychopath. One
question upon which DR. Hickson
laid much stress was this. which he
asked Wandsrer: Il just saw a doe
tor, then a lawyer. then A minister
go into my neighbor's house. What
is going on there"
To which wanderer replied: a

rity, was brought up in Western
Dakota in those territorial days
when Indians were near at hand
and campfires blaZed on many hills.
He absorbed the traditions of the
out-of-doors with his infantile
nourishment. The atmosphere of
these days has never lost its charm
for him. Despite a long sojourn in
Eastern States, Mr.. Hart clings 10
primitive things. He is a great
reader and a student of human
nature, but he cares little for the
diversions which city life affords.
Music, dancing. the theater and
cabaret are pleasant relaxations,
but they have rarely held much al
lure for the big ''two-gun" actor.
He dimes in a restaurant now and
then, and wears his tuxedo and
dress suit as well as he does the
sombrero and flannel shirt of the
wilds, but he has small love for the
indoor life and yearns for the open
trail.
Recently Hart has been dabbling
little with the pen. and two book
already have been pushed and two
more are in press now in which he
recounts, with simple direct narra-
tive. some Of the adventures and
tales of his early youth.
One of the reasons he is takinR
this long solitary mountain journey
is desire to formulate plans for
further literary exploits. While
his original intention was to ap-
peal only to the youthful reader
Mr.. Hart's volumes have met with
such wide success that he is now
considering a novel of general in
terest.
While he lays claim TO no studied
literary style, his storytelling
quality is innate and he is a thor
ough master of the vsrnacular of
the West. For several years the
actor has written many of his
scenarios himself, and il is prob
able that during the vacation Pc
riod now drawing so near he will
outline the dramatic tales Of adven-
ture which he will portray on the
