Witnesses on the Insanity Examin Farther, Expert rlea Hypothetical Questions, on The Ballard murder trial was resnmed yesterday morning before Judge Neville. By specisl permission of the court each side was permitted to rocall to the wit- ness stand one expert physiclan for fur- ther examination on the question of In- sanlty, The prosecution brought up Dr. Darrow and the defense Dr. Spaulding. He was placed on the stand first, and & hypothetioal question propounded tohim, which covered, or was Intended at leatt to coyer, all the points in the case that had been brought out by the testlmony of othsr witnesses. The following s in substance the queation that was asked by Gen, O'Brlen: In the case of a man who has reached the meridian of life, and who for elghteen years had been In the habit of drinking Intoxicating llquor at Intervals of time, to excess, and who has an appetito for alcohplic stimulants occurring very fre- quently, parlodically, and with a con. stant liability to periodlcal exascerbstions when altogether uncontrolable, and who for esid elghteen years had been ln the hablt of going on perlodical paroxismal debauches of drunkenne:s, lastlng for from one to two week's duratlon; that duting such drankea debauches, he would sometimes be moroze snd fretful, dis- gusted with himeelf and diseatisfied with all around him; and then again would be bolsterous, quarrelsome and abusive to all persons with whom he camse in con- tact, making no exceptlons as betwoen his best frlends or strangers; that after such debauches he would return to his buslness and remain rufliclently free from the in- fluence of llquor 8o as to be able to dis charge the aatfes requlred of him asan employe, and would conduct his business In a capable manner, for, from one to three months at a time; that if when he was about golng on one of thoee drunken debauches he ehould call his employe out of bed in the early morning and inform him that he was golng to get drunk; that if after the lapse of about three days’ de- bauch, and while under the influence of liquor, he should declare, *‘[ will mske it hot for some of them,” and shortly after pulled out a revolver and prosented®the samo at a felond or assoclate who was with him at the time, and between whom there was nothing bat tho beat of feeling, and without any cause whatever should snap the revolver three times; that if about two days after this occurrence his employer should hargoe him; that on the next day after his diecharge he should stay about the premises, walk up to the man and ghoot the man dead; that aftor firlng the fatal shot he forcibly re- sisted those who attempted to take the pistol from kim, and say he had killed the and was glad of It; done it to save the Damon family, ete., etc. What, Doctor, do you eay as to a peraon of that kind possessing the mental capacity to premeditate and deliberate upon the tak- ing of & human life ? To this Dr. Spaulding answered in sub- s'ance as follows: Such a man would not have the mental capaclty to premedi- tate and deliberate upon the killing of a human belog; he would not be able to determine between right and wrong; he would at the time of the killing be suffer- ing under an attack of dipsomania, Dr. Darrow was then called by the prosecution, and about the same question waos put to him, Hlis anawers were dl- rectly opposite to those of Dr. Spaulding. At half-pist 11 o’clock, Mr. Baldwin opened the argament, He spoke about half an hour when a recess was taken until 2 o’clock, When court convened in the afternoon Mr. Baldwin resumed his talk to the jury, continulng it until after 3 o’cloek. When he had concluded, Mr. Burkets, one of the couneel for defendant, began snd spoke uatil half-past 5 o’clock, when court adjourned until 9:30 this morning. Gen, O'Brien and prosecutlng attorney Estelle will speak to-day. It is expected that the case will go to 'the jary some time this afternoon. ——— *Oats on the Roof." “Judge, I want to swear out 8 com- plaint ageinet a couple of men who have been bruising me up,” and as Mlichael Gernuss addressed Judge Stenberg yes- 1 tarday he stood poised on one foct and looked contemplatively at his many scars, “How did it heppen!” inquired Judge 8. “Well, you see about midnight last Saturdsy nlght my wife woke me up and told me that she heard nolees on the roof and thought there wight be cats there. I wentout doors and founda man there, I told him to come down. Before I could save myself he jumped off the roof on to me and commenced beat- ing me. Then his brother came into the yard and also pltched finto me.

THIEVING TRAMPS. They Enter Pat Hughes' Barn and Got Awsy With Some Olothing~One of the Gang Shor. Yesterday afternoon six thleving tramps wont into Pat Hughes' barn, on Mason streot, and stole therofrom a sult of cloth- ing. When Pat came home in the even- ing and learned of 1t he tracked them to the Union Pacific depot, but they had |} managed to get on the the out-golng traln and were just leaving town. A telegra: was sent to the constable South Omaha and elso to an officer &t Paplllion to arrest and hold tho gang. The constable in South Omaha succeeded in capturlng four and taking them off at the packing house, bat before Sherifi Mitler could get ready to start out there after them, the constabla telephoned that they had escaped from him and wore gone, News was received Iater from Paplilion, stating that the officer there was successful in |1antle, and they have bren before the [ world capturing the other two, but had to shoot one of them. When the officer goton the train they jumped off and started to run away, He ccmmanded them to stop, but they pald no attentlon to the command., Finally o shot was fired, which struck one of tbem and laid him out, then the other threw up his hands also. The names of the gang counld not ba learned here. Stood Trisl. A lively case held Judge Sienberg’s attentlon In polica court yesterday ternoon. Saturdsy night Officer Wie- laud arrested a young man named Thom- as P, Morrls at the Southern hotel, against whom he entered a charge of dls- turblng the peace, by being intoxlcated. Morrls stood trial and brought In several wlitnesses to prove that the officer was mach drunker then he, and also to prove that there had been no disturbanco of the piece on his part, A lot of boarders, all nationalities and grades of condition, had been celebrating the great national holi- dsy and when they got together in the ovening there was much loud talking, both In the oftice and at the supper ta- ble. Weilan telected Norris out from among the others and run bim in. He was fined $5 and the costs of the case, urday night between Iid Miller, of thia clty, and Pat McNally, a local champlon of O'Nell, resulted In & grand victory for the Omaha boy. In three rounds Mil- ler knocked hlm out of time, and when the refereo refused to give him the fight also knocked the referes to kingdom come or some other seaport. The affalr Is sald to have been very exciting. Av first they propozed to give merely a friendly exhibition, snd divide both the stalkes, $250 a side, and the daor money, but it seems that McNally had made up his mind to get away with Miller. Befora they stirted in scmna of Millel friends learned what wes in the wind and warned him to look cut, Sure enough, when they recefved the word McNally went for Miller like a mad elephant, but Le had put himself up against the wrong man, — The Day on the Tusf, BriGETON BEACH, July 6,—The day’s racing events wera: Virst racs—Three quarters of a mile, two- year olds; Bessie BB won; Urseline Nun, sec- ond; Welcome, third, Time, 1.18}, Second race—Seven-eighths of a mile; Car- dinal McOlosky won; Hotachimie, second; Riddle, third.

A MiLLiNer MONEY MAKING. A Trio Arrested at Bxira for Shoving 1he Queer Now Lodged in the Oouncil Blaffs Lsst evening Deputy Unlted States Marshal McCreary and ex-Sheriff Conn- rardy, of Aundubon county, arrived In Councll Bluffs with three prisoners, Alva Tripp, George Goodwelland G. O. Craig, who were arrested at Exira, Audubon county, Iowa, for passing counterfeit sil- ver doliare, Itis said that they have been working Atlantic for some days, and there managed to get rid of a goodly number of these counterfelts, which were so horrible an {mitation of the colnage of '82, as to make it almost m ibls to pass them on any bualness man, except in a dusky light. The trio were at Ixira on the Fourth, and succoeded there in passing about twenty of them. One of the follows bought a pglaws of Connrardy, and of the Connrardy took it, and thea proceeded to *‘pipe off” the party, and soon had the ovidenco agalnat them, on galning which he arrested the threa, On one of them two of the counterfelt dollars were found.

They could notglve ball and were zent to jail. THE BLUFFS COUNCIL. The Regular Grind of Routine Busi- ness. The clty councll held its regular monthly meeting last evening.
