This was the first case, however. In which a regular passenger train not specially equipped for the purposo was Jn constant telegraphic communication with all tbe stations on the read. For the purpose of tho experiment the metslie roof of the car was charged with tho electric current, nnd a wire run from the car roof to a table in the car on which the usual instrument rested. George C. McGregor, manager of the Rail way Telegraph andfTclrphone company, super* vised the work, which was performed by Messrs. Dingle and Rudd, electricians of the company.

London, Marchl-I.—Mr. Gorehoro hu sag- S ited a government commission to ' to tho position of silver, the EMOTIONAL INEBRIETY. A Peculiar Defense Introduced in a Case on Trial In tbe Criminal Coart. From the Denver News. A rather carious and novel defense wu pre sented in the cue of W. B. Hawley, who wu on trial on the charge of talse pretenses In the criml- nel court yesterday. Tho defense claimed that Hawley wu not rcsponrible when ho passed the fraudulent checks In question, u bo wu drank, or affected by Intoxicating liquors, and wu In tha habit when in that condition of doing very strange things. Hawley, who iso nun of about medium height, With dark eyes and curly black hair, and with a very red Ace, wu Indicted by tbe last grand one case. There wu a vet Jury selected to Attorney Luthe represented the prosecution, and A. L. Dond and Earl B. Coe representing tbe de- f< The evidence for the prosecution went to chow that last New Year’s day Hawley gave to Lonts fgaosMBt the same lime Hawley gave to Mrs. Isabella 3Jc- Klmmlea check for fz7, sod the gave him change to the amount of 123»cash. These checkxi purport ed to be drawn on the Colorado National bank.bat it wax dlicovered that Hawley had no money there and bad not had any. The defense opened yes terday afternoon. and was able to outline the theory pretty clearly before the jury, though strong arguments were made at every step by the prose* ration against ,he admission of such.testimony, and against tbe manner in which the defense sought to get at it. The theory of the defense was shown to be that Haw ley hod becu In the habit of indulging In drunken sprees, and that on such occasions he doesn’t know what he is doing. They claim that on one of these occasions Hawley hired s bark and took a party of friends np to Capitol hill. He told them that he hod struck it rich, and had bought a house on the hill. The hack was stoppcdTn front of C. B. Kountxe’s residence, and Hawley’s friends met Mr. Kountse coming out. Hawley said that Kountxe was living there, but was soon going to move out. Hawley's friends soon discovered that they were having a game B ayed on them. At another time Hawley is said have opened a package of money in the street end to have commenced giving it away to the crowd. These eccentricities tho defense claim occur when Hawley Is drunk or when he Is Just getting over a drunk, and constitute a peculiar Form of emotional insanity. Theater Programmes Please Copy.
