No word was ever heard to pass
his lips after that time.
Sent to Asylum.
He was subjected to many tests
by alienists and finally, in Jan
uary, 1913, was declared insane
and sent to an asylum at Stock
ton, Cal., where he died.
The insanity verdict provided
that if he ever recovered his san
ity the sentence of death would
be imposed.
Even the announcement, in Feb
ruary, 1917, that Governor H. W.
Johnson had commuted his sen
tence to life imprisonment in
case of recovery failed to bring
a single syllable from his lips. ,

OF FALL OH NOTE
Los Angeles, Oct, 24.-*~An un
expected turn in the Doheny oil
lease cancellation suit has given
slijfht moral advanUge t0 the
defense. * -
Although not under subpoena,
Mrs. E. L. Doheny voluntarily
took the stand Thursday and pro
duced the missing signature of
the famous Albert B. Fall note
for $100,000, written on a torn
bit of paper which fitted smooth
ly into the mutilated portion of
the document held by Doheny,
Wanted to Preserve Evidence.
The witness brought out the
fact that Doheny wanted to pre
serve the evidence of indebted
ness and that he felt confident
he eventually would be paid. He
did not, however, wish the docu
ment to become a part of his es
tate, he said.
Located in Deposit Box.
A search through a safety de
posit box here located the missing
document, Mrs. Doheny continu
ed.
The $100,000 note, signed by
Fall in favor of Doheny, is as
suming increasing importance as
the trial to cancel Elk Hills oil
leases progresses.
Government counsel has declar
ed that the absence of a signa
ture made the note uncollectible,
and had linked this to a conten
tion that the money was in pay
ment for consideration and ad
vantages given the Doheny oil
companies in leases on the Elk
Hills naval oil reserve and in the
award of contracts for construc
tion work at Pearl Harbor.
The defense is attempting to

show that the $100,000 transac
tion was a loan given an old
friend at a time of financial need
and that Doheny had planned to
collect the money.
SAFE BET
Silicus—I saw you at the wed
ding. Wasn’t the self-possession
of the groom marvelous? He did
not seem a bit flustered.
Cynicus—I noticed it too. I’ll
bet that fellow was either a wid

Washington, Oct. 24.—President
Coolidge set forth last night pol

which he purposes that the gov
ernment will “maintain peace,
promote economy, provide a pro
tective tariff, assist the farmers
leave the people in possession of
their property and maintain the
integrity of the courts."
Last Extended Address.
In the last extended address he
expects to make before election 1
and the most comprehensive he
has delivered since his speech
of acceptance of the republican
nomination, the president declared
his stand on practically every
phase of government affairs.
He discussed campaign issues,
in some instances, for the first
time.
Mr. Coolidge spoke before the
eastern division of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States
meeting here in the chamber’s
building, and the address was
by radio to almost every
of the country.
