The court ad- 2 o'clock this afternoon, so that Dr. Ball could be summoned. Judge Louderback explained that he must be convinced that there was basis for such a motion before he could entertain {t. He added that the test was whether a person accused of crime comprehended the proceedings and was able to present any intelligible defense. Walter McGovern of deferise coun- sel offered to stipulate tvith the state that the present jury, empanelled to try Miss Ellingson on the charge of murder, might inquire into the girl's sanity, should the motion be granted. “The district attorney's office is not stipulating anythiug at the pres- ent time,” sald Asistant District At- torney Harmon Skillin, “It is for the defense first to make a showing in support of its motion.” Mr. MeGovern, presenting his mo- tion, said. “The defense hag been impressed since this trial etarted, a week ago, that Dorothy Bllingson.is in a physieal condition that renders it Practically impossible to proceed. fut the law makes no provisions for such a condition. We believe, from reports of our experts, that the de- fendant’s condition probably will be- come worse and that nothing could be served by merely postponing the ca: We believe that at present there is a very decided mental condition to take into consideration, We think it advisable that the case be stopped, if it can be with justice both to the prosecution and the defense. We offer to stipulate that the present jury be directed to inquire into the girl's mental condition.’ “Do you base your motion only on what the court may have ob- served since the trial started,” asked Judge Louferback. Mr. McGovern then read Dr. Ball's affidavit, which s! that the girl wa: fending herself. on the charg® of crime with which she is accused," “Is that your entire showing’ inquired the court. “It ts, your honor,” said defense counsel. The jury and witnesses then were excused until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The insanity motion was expected to be disposed of late this afternoon. The girl sat composedly while her insanity was being discussed, but while being led away toward the jail she wept bitterly, Her face was white and drawn. If the motion is granted and the state doclines to stipulate that the present fury try the fasue of sanity or insanity it will be. necessary to| impanel a new jury.

Rank as His Main Occupation. BY ROBERT T. SMALL (Copyright 1926 The Casper Tribune) WASHINGTON, March $0.—When Gaston B. Means was appearing al. most daily at the Wheeler investiga tion into the conduct of the depart- ment of justice, he testified that his ehfef occupation in life was facing indictments. Senator Wheeler joined in the general laughter. Today this same senator, Burton K, Wheeler, of Montana, declared that ‘t looked as if answering {ndictments would be his avocation, if not his “life's vocation, for the department of jus- tice is on its prowl and Senator Wheeler is the prey {t wants to bag. Washington is withholding its judgment tn the various cases brot against Sepator Wheeler for there is an atmosphere or bac! ‘ound of possible political prejudice which his friends have been prompt to seize upon and exploit. It ts felt here that trial by jury, first in Montana and later in the District of Columbia, will settle the issue once and for all and place the blame where it be- longs. -The left-over friends of Har- ry Daugherty in the capital, and he still has a few, were jublilant today, declaring that now two succeeding attorney generals of the United States have passed upon the Wheel- @r case and have permitted {ndict- ments to be brought. Meantime, the people of the coun- try are asking what manner of man is Senator Wheeler. For one who has been accused of so many high crimes and misdemeanors, including the informal charge of being a sort of “parlor pink’’ at heart, he is a very mild soyt of a person—in man- ner all of the time and in speech when not on the stump. ‘Tall, somewhat angular, clean sha- ven, rather rugged of feature and with a jaw that 1s square when he faces you, but softens on side view, Senator Wheeler is more or less typ- teal of the man born in Massachu- setts but adopted by the west—if there is such a type. He is genial in companship and perhaps that ts why, when he came back from the political wars of last year, wagging his tail behind him, the Democrats in the senate just grinned at his discomfiture and made no move to oust him from the party conferences. Wheeler's chief in the campaign, Battling Bob LaFollette, thrown neck and crop out of the Republican councils he hadgraced for a0 many yea but not a single Democrat said “Boo” to Senator Wheeler. May- be it was because Wheeler was not the:same sort of fighter as LaFol- lette, is not s0 much to be feared on the floor or in committees, has not the popular following. And any. way, Senator Wheeler clafmed that for eVerything but vice presidential purposes, he was still a Democrat all through the campaign, supporting his colleague, Senator Tom Walsh for reelection out in Montana. Senator Wheeler always has been considered something of a bear on evidence and indictments anit all those sort of things. For five years he served as United States district attorney in Montana under appoint- ment by President Wilson. His poll- tieal enemies always have claimed that as a prosecuting attgrrfey he was too lentent on the “reds” or near reds or alleged reds. He owned up to be a sort of radical even be- fore he accepted second place on the LaFollette ticket. Few senators ever have had such a rapid flight as Wheeler. He had not been {n the senate two years when the famous Daugherty inves- tigation started, with Wheeler act- ing As prosecuting member of the committee presided over by Senator Brookhart. That committen went far and wide, Frank Vanderlip sup tlied it with needed money to con- duct ite far-flung investigations. But gruff as he was with witnesses on the stand, Senator Wheeler will never te known to his friends as “fattling Burton” He ts altogether too mild mannered for that, And he loves golf. | MFWS RRIFFS W CASTLE, England, March 20.—Clutching ‘@ prdjecting ridge near the roof of the mine, etght mif- era were trapped by a flood in the Montague colliery at Scobwood, near here today.
