God dard acted as counsel for Benson witnesses included Dr. w. c. Chart eris, Superintendent of the Home; ] w. w. Knight and nurse Patsy Mitchell and Grace McNichol. Ap- bearing on the jury were Howard Bradshaw, William Beach, James Brightman, Orville Paxton, Earl ! Shennett and Charles Whittimore. Immediately followin0 adjourn ment of Court on the above insan- ity hearing, a surprise unofficial hearing was held on charges of insanity brought by Exalted Ruler of Elks 1862 Bradshaw against past Exalted Ruler E. M. Goddard. Charles included delusions of grand eur-imagining for two years that he was Mayor with resultant in conveniences to the entire com- munity, who through sheer kind ness, encouraged him to run com- munity affairs; imagining he was Lon Wilson and Red Skelton com- bined while acting as toastnaster at the Rotary Annual Dinner at the Moose Club Tuesday evening; and most serious charge. causing so large a group of Sitka men to go unshaven for fifty days and at tempting to force them to go without haircuts and baths for the remaining period before the Elks Days of '98 celebration.
 No one would consent to act as counsel for defense; the jury add ed to the confusion by hurling ad- ditional charges at the defendant; defendant was not allowed to rise in his own defense and was phy- sically restrained from violence by Police Chief Doran ana MarSnai Thompson.
 Without retiring for consulta- tion the jury members unanimously voted the defendent guilty and the attending physician recommended that so heinous a cast called for mediate exterlnination rather han the usual psychopathic treat ment.
