Decided to Go Back and Behav: The next witness was Turnkey Na- thaniel B. Wade, who has had charge of Snencer since the trial began and who occupied a seat in the sage at the prisoner’s side. Turnkey Wade sent for the county physician, Dr. C. P. Hooker, who examined Spencer, found his pulse normal and his phyllal con- dition apparently normal. The doctor then told Spencer that he could have his choice, either go into the dungeon for ten days on a bread and water diet or else go back to his. cell and behave. Spencer, the turnkey said, decided that he would go back to his cell and behave™, Told Him He Was Faking. Dr. Hooker followed gl'urnkey Wade on the stand. As the physician took the stand Spencer showed signs of an- mer and began to mutter to himself, but was soon quleted by his wife and the turnkey. Dr. Hooker told of his ecall to the jail to examine Spencer and said that at the conclusion of his examina- tion he said to_the prisoner: you are faking.” Spencer Broke Out Agaln. At this point in the testimony Spen- cer’'s rage burst out. He called out to the witness: one that tried to poison me. You are the one that tried to nut poison in my cup.

Hooker, county phy- isician, who examined Spencer in the pringfield jail, took the stand Thurs- day forenoon, the defendant glared at [him. When the witness testified that ;hc had said to the prisoner, “Spencer, |you are faking,” Spencer rose to hi ’ree: and angrily demounced the wit: |ness, declaring that Dr, Hooker had itried to poison him at the jail. After officers had overpowered the prisoner (he was quiet for thg remainder of the {d~ and appeared to pay little further |attention to the testimony. Several witnesses for the state tes- tified that at the time they knew | &pencer he appeared in normal mental {condition. A convict from the state | prison, Horace M. St. John, who was sent to the Bridgewater state hospital jfor sixteen months after, as he testi- fied, he had feigned insanity, was put on the stand late Thursday Convinced Spencer Shammed. One day, according to the witness, | when Spencer was singing in a re- | hearsal for a play to be given by In- ! mates, St. John remarked to him that one who could sing and draw as well as Spencer did not seem to be very in- {sane. Spencer thereupon made queer { motions with his head and body and i told witness that if he did not do those j things the doctors would think he was ne. John said he was convinced jthat Spcncer was feigning insanity. Dead People Tell No Tales. | Witness said he told Dr. Elliott, su- ! perintendent of the insane department of the Bridgewater hospital, of what Spencer had sald: that he wrote to gin early. ceed in getting any of the Indian land which the government was distributing his trip to Gregory with his friend be- came the medium of a number of pleasant experiences of which he writes. They made it iIn leisurely fashion, hunting, fishing and camping out along the way, and drove into the Dakota town fourteen days after they started from Kansas. At one point on the way they came to a town where they stopped to see the dog races, which were held inside a track fenced about four feet high with burlap.
