He also ad- mitted that he might be mistaken as to | the incurable character of Buchanan’s in- sanity. At one stage of the proceeding the wit- s became pathetically drematic. He was asked if he were not agreeably dis- appotnted in the improved condition :hat Buchanan developed, when he repl “Now, Mr. Bell, I' have known you a good long time, and 1 do not believe you or any other man that has known me in- timately wouid believe that I would unfortunate human being to bece re insane every day of his life : In the unutterable misery that u nds that unfortunate condition in of der to substantiate one poor, little pitiful opinjon that might have been expressed by me.

Did 'you or did you not commit yourself on one side or the other?” “I did not.

He added that the greatest burden of a su- perintendent of an asylum IS to pass | upon the question of a ‘;ullen! s recovery, | as he is held responsible before the peo- | ple. “We are, for this reason, very | cautious,” he continued, “in dIAc.hnrfln‘{ eople who have been insane. We don’t | now what effect the new surroundings will have on them.” Attorney Livernash here submitted the same hypothetical question, covering Bu- chanan’s life history, that had been put to Dr. Robertson yesterday. To save time | all the experts were called in to listen to | the reading of the question, which was an extremely long one. They were Dr, W. F. Hatch, General Superintendent of the| State Hospitals; Dr. E. E. Stone. Dr. D. Smith, Dr. J. H. Barr and Dr. A. W. Hois- holt, in addition to Dr. Gardner. After the reading of the question the other medical experts were excused, and Dr. Gardner was asked what he consid- | ered the mental condition of the man de- | scribed. { | "He answered: “I belleve such a person | as represented by the hypothetical ques- | tion to be insane, and I don't belleve that | such a person will ever recover.” Under the cross-examination of Attor-| ney Bell Dr. Gardner admitted that since administration the asylum had con- | tained in all about 3200 patients; that it | now contains about 1500 patients, and that | f to 27 per cent of the patients are | ged as recovered. Dr. Dozler, the | stant physician at the institution, | sald. came more intimately in contact | with the patfents than himself, and he usually consults his assistant physicians in pronouncing on a patient's right to dis- arge. It was also his custom in difficult ases to consult with the supervisors, m: trons or attendants who were in close at- tendance on the patients, but the life his- tory of the patient and other information were alwayvs taken into consideration. He admitted that Buchanan's memo: t better 'now that It was at Marysville shortly after the murder, but thought this might have been due to the fact that Buchanan might have been suffering | from the effects of alcohol at Marysville, | The apparently defective memory of Bu- chanan was one of the reasons on which he based his opinion that Buchanan was insane. On the suggestion of Bell he ex- amined Buchanan’'s eyes and stated that the puplls were less dilatdAd now than they ere when he examined them at| e ardner stated that he assisted E. | n, Hugh's brother, In framing tories of the depositions tak- v the Interro; en in Georgla and Texas, but disclaimed that he was most prominent in the work | of devising the Interrogatories. “Why did vou eliminate the factor of | the drinking habit from_ these interroga- | tories?" asked Attorney Bell. “Buchanan’'s brother laid no stress on his brother’s drinking habits. It is a mat- | ter that should always be considered in | determining a question of finsanity. I don’t remember whether T asked about it, but I think it is very likely I did. There were, however, sufficient other data to indicate insanity in Buchanan's case.” Witness admitted that no attempt was | made to get affidavits as to Buchanan's | drinking habits after the matter had been | interjected into the case. He further | agreed with Bell that the great change in the disposition habits and mind of Bu- chanan might be explained on the basis | of excessive Indulgence in liquor. Ad- | Journment was taken until 9 a. m. Thurs- { day next. ii_AN[iSOME HOME FOR BANK OF SAN MATEO New Building at Redwood City Will Be One of the Most Orna- mental in the County. REDWOOD CITY, Dec. 2—The new home of the Bank of San Mateo County, on the corner of Main and Bridge streets, is nearing completion, and when ready for occupancy will be one of the most ornamental and substantial bulld- ings In the county. is situated on the site of the old Grand Hotel, in the center of the busi- ness portion of the town.

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 2—A remark- able and most gratifying statement has been sent to Congress by Finance Minis- ter Limantour, and will be recelved with interest by all bondholders, for it shows the marvelously improved position of the Mexican treasury, which is now able, so ample are the revenues, to propose to Congress a reduction of the Federal taxes. The cash revenue for the fiscai year ended June last was $60,022,349, whol- ly derived from the usual and normal sources and much in excess of the Finance Minister's estimate, most con- servatively made, while the returns for five months of the present fiscal year show an increase over last year.
