INSANITY MAY BE OFFERED
IN DEFENSE OF CRUTCHFIELD
His Friends
That He
Crazy.
Declare
Was
Whether Mr*. Sallle Crutchfield re
covers or whether she die*, it I* gen
erally believed that her husband, J. H.
Crutchfield, accused ot shooting her add
then beating her In the head with the
butt end of a shotgun, will plead In
anity as his defense.
Mrs. Crutchfield, the wounded wife.
Is still lingering between life and death
st the Grady hospital, the outcome of
her wounds, a matter of doubt. It
tras announced Monday morning that
she appeared slightly better, but that
her condition Is still critical. It Is be
lieved now that she has some slight
chance of recovery.
It Is stated that Mrs. Crutchfield has
reacted fairly well from the shock of
the operation Saturday afternoon, at
which time her right leg was ampu
tated just above the knee. She was
shot in both legs, but It Is thought the
left leg will be saved.
Friends of Crutchfield Insist that he
Is crazy on the subject of Ills wife,
and arc confident a plea of homicidal
or emotional Insanity will be made at
the trial. The prisoner has not Inti
mated what his defense would be. fur
ther than his assertion that the shoot
ing and beating of his wife was purely
accidental.
Detectives' Theory.
City detectives who have been In
vestigating the case are inclined to the
belief that Crutchfield is afflicted with
a definite form of Insanity.
The officers put no credence what
ever In the story of Crutchfield that the
shooting was an accident, declaring
they believe he laid In wait for Ills
wife In front of her home and deliber
ately shot her. after which he beat her
In the head with the butt end of the
weapon.
■ A friend of Crutchfield, in speaking
of the case Monday morning, said:'
"I am confident Crutchfield is crazy,
and I think Insanity the most plausible
defense he can offer. He was simply
Insanely Jealous when he shot his wife,
and I am satisfied had no control over
himself. A plea of Insanity, 1 be
lieve, would certainly place him In the
asylum. His close friends know he Is
crazy about his wife.”
Crutchfield has had a conference
with Attorney Reuben R. Arnold, in
regard to obtaining his services In de
fending him, but no definite arrange
ments have yet been made. Mr. Ar-
. mid-stated Monday'he was unable to
■ay as yet whether he will defend the
prisoner.
Turns to Prayer.
When Informed Saturday afternoon
that her right leg would have to be am
putated, Mrs. Crutchfield realised the
seriousness of her condition and that
the operation might cost her life, and
her thoughts turned to her spiritual
welfare.
She requested that Dr. TV. TV. Lan
drum, pastor of the First Baptist
church, come to her bedside and asked
Hint the operation be delayed until he
could get there. Dr. Landrum was no
tified and Immediately went to the hos.
pltnl. He went directly to the room
of the wounded womnn and talked with
her for some time of spiritual matters.
After this he prayed for her.
A few minutes later Mr*. Crutchfield
was' put under the Influence of an
anesthetic In the operating room and
her right leg taken off Just above the
knee,

New York, Oct. 29.—The attorneys
for the Independence League won a
great victory today when they ap

the court of appeals, and secured his
consent to convene an extraordinary
session of the court of appeals at Al
bany tomorrow', where the attorneys
will carry to the highest tribunal of the
state their fight on behalf of the can
didates and cltixens generally, whose
petitions filed with the board of elec

Loaguo Hopes for Decision.
Great hope Is entertained from the
action of Chief Judge Cullen by the
attorneys of the Independence League
that when the facts of the treatment
to which the petitions were subjected
when In the hands of the board of elec
tion, are fully laid before the court of
appeals that the remarkable decision
of the lower court taking away the
rights of the candidates to be voted
for under the emblem of the Independ

tribunal.
Lawyers representing the Independ

Chief Judge Cullen, at 144 Willow-

Walton came to Augusta last night
and surrendered to the officer*. He
killed Mr. Batchelor In the depot at
Belalr, and says that It was self-de

pursuing him with a pistol.
Captain Bachelor was a veteran o

Walton, who lived at Harlan, had

New York, Oct. 28.—A great mystery

Van Blalson took an active part In a
conference held In front of the prison

mother, and Evelyn Nesblt Thaw, hi*

Great precautions were taken to keep

riedly left the Tombs.

tice from their standpoint, would have
been done against candidates and citi
zens who liad expressed In their peti

the offices of assemblymen, senators
and congressmen.
Judge is in Dotibt.
''It Is a fact," said Judge Cullen,
“that the decision of the appellate di
vision leave* me In doubt on what
grounds the decision was granted,
whether It was because ot a lack ot
signatures on the multiple petitions or
whether it was because of conditions
Into which the petitions had fallen. I
am fully alive to the necessities of
prompt action if It should appear to
morrow that there are sufficient legal
reason* for my entertaining an ap
peal."
During the controversy Mr. Gilbert,
attorney for the Republicans, said air
ily: "Oh, well, it doe* not matter wheth
er these men run or not."
"That Is an appropriate remark com
ing from a man who was a former
partner of Atiorney General Mayer,”
rejoined Mr. Shearn.
Atlantic City. X. J., Oct. 29.—
This afternoon’s latest estimate
of the number of persons dead in
the electric train on the Pennsyl
vania that plunged into the Thor
oughfare, is put at 80. The num
ber has steadily .grown all day
and at this hour 57 bodies have
already been taken out.
Among those now believed to
be dead is Prank Iline, driver for
the Adams Express Company. lie
had arranged to take that train.
Brown McBaird, head porter at
the Marlborough-Blenheim, was
seen running for the train on its
departure, and has not been
heard from since. He, too, is
dead.
Professional divers, hired by the
railroad, as well as scores of vol
unteers, began work on the sub
merged cars at dawn today and
kept at the work of recovery of
the dead hour by hour.
Held tight in a trap, the vic
tims, most of whom were women
and. children, were drowned in
tho cars, submerged in 20 feet of
water. , .
It was asserted that a few min
utes before the arrival of the train
the drawbridge had been opened
to permit a vessel to go through.
Then, when the draw was closed,
;it.i&-al!£ged, the ends of the rails
were not brought to a perfect un
ion, a protrusion of half ar. inch
causing the flange of the car
wheels to strike the other rail in'
stead of passing over, the jar
causing the cars to jump from
the track.
It is admitted that the signals
showed that the bridge was
closed and indicated to Motorman
Seott that he-had a dear and safe
track.
District Attorney . Abbott, of
Mays Landing, is nt Atlantic City
at the instauce of the l’cnnsylva
nia officials, investigating the
cause of the wreck.
“We would like to learn some'
thing of the cause of the wreck,
said he, “so we can go into details
of flxiug responsibility. While the
spreading of a rail caused the
wreck, it is now hinted that the
bridge tender may have been re
sponsible by imperfectly locking
the draw.”
FIFTY-TWO BODIES
TAKEN FROM WATER8,
Fifty-two bodies have been thue far
taken from the waters of the Thor
oughfare and It la fully believed that
there will be at least 20 others recov
ered during the day. The conductor of
the Ill-fated train, James Curtis, said
today that there were 96 people on
board his train ufter It had left Pleos-
antvllle. Of these all have been Identi
fied but 16. _
Crowds of people are hovering
around the edge of the waters looking
for their dead relatives or friends be
ing taken Into the morgue, where the
work of Identification goes on slowly.
The scenes at the Improvised morgue
In the old Empire theater are heart
rending. Women and etrong men break
down as they recognize the cold forma
of those who were so suddenly plunged
from life Into eternity.
GUARD RI8K8 HIS LIFE
TO SAVE PA8SENGER8.
Almost before they had realised their
peril, the first two cars dived into the
water. The third car hung from the
track at the edge of the drawbridge,
then jumped In and was submerged.
To this fortunate circumstance was
due the eecape of most of the sur
vivor*. who scrambled out the rear
door, held open by a brave guard at
the risk of hie own life, or broke
through the windows and struggled In
the water until they were rescued by
boatmen.
Forty-four bodies had been recov
ered thlB morning, most of them being
brought to the surface by divers. Of
those In the drat cars, It Is believed
that only four men escaped.

Chicago, Oct. 29.—William J. Bryan
spent Sunday In Chicago. He arrived
unannounced In the morning from his
stump-speaking tour of Indiana and
Ohio and departed In the evening for
Dee Moines, Iowa.
He said he wanted to eee Hearst
elected governor of New York.
‘Do you think the election of Hearst
would make him a presidential candi
date In 1908?” the Nebraskan
asked.
"Well," he said, "1 believe In fighting
one battle at a time. The wisest course
Is to dispose of this conlsst first and
then go on nnd take up the other one
later. The circumstances of one doee
not necessarily govern the other."
Regarding Sullivan Affair.
Mr. Bryan was asked If the Sullivan
controversy was to be left In the back,
ground, to which It has receded during
the last two months.
•I don’t know," replied he, wearily.
"The principle for which I contend ie
that the matter Is still there; It will
always live because it Is right, because
It Is the truth. But 1 don’t know how
an Indication of public sentiment on
the subject could l>e obtained at this
lime.”
Mr. Bryan was then told of Senator
Findlay, O., Oct. 29.—Judge Banker
today fined the Standard Oil Company,
of Ohio, 86,000 and coats.
Before passing sentence Judge Bank
er overruled a motion for a new trial.
Forty days Is allowed the Standard In

This is the case In which the Stand

with attempt to control the oil business
of Ohio.
A Jury found the company guilty of

morning of October 19, after having
been out nearly two days.
Notice of a motion to fight the ver

If the verdict of the lower court ,1s

RIOTER GETS OPTION
OF A FINE OR JAIL
After an explanation of the circum
stances and by consent of Officer J. A.
Hollis, the man who was most con
cerned, T. F. Clemente got off ‘with a
misdemeanor sentence of six months In
jail or a fine of 8800 for assault and
battery to which he pleaded guilty In
lieu of going to trial facing a charge
of assault with intent to murder, which
Is a felony.
Clemente threw a piece of coal at Of
ficer Hollle on the night of Septem
ber 22 during the rioting, and from the
effects of the attack Mr. Hollis was
laid up for 22 days. Clements, who
has already earved a 20-day sentence
in the etockade, was charged also with

New York, Oct. 29,—A* the last week
of the campaign draws near, it be
comes more and more apparent. In spite
of the rainbow statements that are be
ing put out by the Republicans, that
Hearst has gained greatly In strength
In many counties outside of this city,
and that here he Is at least holding his
okvn. Apparently he Is directing his
energies to capturing the so-called la
bor vote, Democratic and Republican,
and apparently he Is making a great
success, from all reports.
A statement last week that a poll of
manufacturing plant up the state,
which employs nearly 16,000 men.
ahowed only 178 for Hughe* was
thought to be an error. It was declared
the number employed must be 1,500
Instead of 15,000, owing to the small
ness of the Hughes vote Indicated. But
the figures were correct.
G. O. P.. Funds Are Low.
Owing to the fact that the law In
this state now prohibits corporations
front contributing to campaign funds,
the Republican campaign chest Is pret
ty low. The state committee has no
such sums as It used to have before the
law passed last winter. Its poverty
may reduce the Republican tanner vole
tor this year there will be no funds
to apeak of to expend on bringing the
farmers to the polls.
There was a stir In politics here to
day when Charles F. Murphy, the lead
er of Tammany Hall, announced,
through his counsel, James w. Os-
borne, that he would prosecute for
criminal libel any>new*paper that here
after pictured him In prison stripes.
Murphy Removes Stripes.
The town Is placarded here and there
with posters and cartoons, in which the
Tammany boss Is pictured In stripes.
Yesterday Mr. Osborne was on the go
looking for those, and the advertise
ments on the elevated care were de
manded removed. Most of the posters
were taken down or covered up.
