nesday’s session of the committe ap
pointed by the house to investigate
St. Elizabeth’s insane asylum testi
mony from nine witnesses, including
ex-employees, ex-patients and others
who had relatives in the institution
was heard.
T. W. Belt, of Leesburg, Va., who
was an attendant from December 11,
1905, to March last, said he was dis
charged because he complained of the
way in which the chief attendant,
Clark W. Teats, treated patients. In
the case of the pitent named Rekles,
from Pennsylvania, who had been fed
on liquid diet for several months, Belt
and Teats knocked Renkles down
many times. After one such occur
rence Rekles died within a week.
In the case of an old soldier with
a broken leg, Teats, the witness said,
delighted in lifting up this leg and let
ting it drop just to hear the old man
yell and curse. This patient died also.
Teats, he said, is still holding his po
sition.

Is an inmate, said he had been given
black eyes seven times, although he
was bed-ridden.
Joseph A. Kensy, a tailor, who had
been twice an inmate, but is now dis
charged, as cured, said he was told
that choking was the surest remedy
for insanity. It was administered to
him repeatedly, although he said, he
was not violent. He had his ribs brok
en by a patient, who, he said, had
since been cured, and who had said an
attendant told him to do so.

Alleged that They Sold Drawings of

Leipsic, Germany, May 10.—The im
perial supreme court here has con
cluded the trial of Otto Senftenleb
en, a former clerk in one of the gov

rad, a mechanic, and Io Lucke, a com
mercial traveler, all of whom are
charged with treason in selling to a
representative of the United States
legation at Brussels a submarine with
anchoring apparatus and the drawings
belonging to them. The prisoners are
also charged with selling similar draw
ings to Russia and with having con
structed a mine in Brussels which was
bought from them through a French
intermediary.
Sentenleben was sentenced to four
and Konrad to three years at penal
servitude and five years loss of civil
rights and to police supervision. Lucke
was acquitted.

Washington Not Talking.
Washington, May 10. —Plans for
submarine mines with shore connec
tions, such as are referred to in the
Leipsic dispatch fall within the control
of the army in this country. Hence
it would fairly be assumed that if any
effort had been made to obtain pos
session of the secret plans of sSiy Ger
man devise of this kind, one of the
American military attaches in Europe
must have been the active agent.
At the war department it was of
course stated that nothing was known
of any such transaction as the report
ed surreptitious purchase of plans for
the mine and attention was immedi
ately directed to the fact that there
was no military attache to the Ameri
can legation at Brussels, and the offi
cials were prompt to disclaim any
knowledge of the affair.
