Dr. Mnckny Is Star Witness.
Fremont , Nov. ! IO. "I would say
that the man Is snbjoet 10 periodical
Insanity and ( hat on the thirteenth
day of August ho was Insane. " i
This answer by Dr. . ) . II. Mnckny of
Norfolk , Insanity expert , to the hypo
thetical iucstloii | propounded by coun
sel for the defense In district court
yesterday afternoon marked the cli
max In the fight to save George W.
Osborno , the IJliilr painter , from death
l
on the Callows or Hfo Imprisonment.
In calling Dr. Mnckny to the witness
stand the attorneys for the defense
plnyed their trump cnrd and It Is generally -
i
orally conceded that Dr. Mackay's tes
timony will play an Important part In
determining the Dual verdict. 1 i
In laying the foundation for Dr.
Mnckay's testimony as to the mental
and physical condition of the defend
ant , Osborne's attorneys brought out
the fact that Dr. Mnckny had made a
close study of Insanity In Its varlou-j ,
|
forms since 1804 , and at one time was' '
superintendent of the state asylum for
the Insane.
Ho testified that he had twice exam
ined Osborno , once In the jail In Oc
tober , and again on last Saturday
afternoon , and declared that Osborno
was Insane on the night of the crime.
Tells of Osborne's Condition.
Dr. Mackay's story of the examina
tion of Osborno was the most Inter
esting testimony of the entire caso.
Ho told of blindfolding the prisoner
and piercing his foot with a pin. Os-
borne , ho declared , sensed the pain ,
but was unable to pull his foot away
from the pin point , which showed that
his nervous system was In disorder.
A test of the eyes showed that the .
pupils failed to react. Other tests ,
showed Osborno'a mind to bo unusual
ly slow In grasping Ideas. The pris
oner , ho said , was unable to stand In
the attitude of a soldier without sway-
Ing. Ills power of equilibrium was
defective.
"Tho prisoner's frame Is that of a
typo never found In the Caucasian
j
race among sane men , " declared Dr.
Mackay. "It Is such a frame as that |
common to Idiots and resembling that
of the ape. "

FROM SOUTH DAKOTA PAPERS.
Canton News : Suppose the leglsla
ture were to provide for a constiti
tional convention , and suppose th
convention would provide a reason
able revenue plank , should cut on
a lot of legislation and give us n con
stitution flexible enough to meet the
growing demands of state , and should
leave the educational affairs so that
the legislature could adopt modern
and advanced methods. And suppose
It should allow the legislature to 11 ix
reasonable salaries for officials with
in certain limitations and do n lot of
other things which would be for the
general good , what do you suppose
the people would do with it ? The action
co
tion at the late election In falling to
discriminate between necessary and
useful laws and those of less value
does not give much hope that they
would show greater wisdom In the
matter of a complete constitution.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader : Wo sns-
iect that the referendum will play an
ncreastng part In South Dakota mat
ers from this time on. The over-
vholmlng defeat of every submission
except one , has taught the people
low easy It is to veto the acts of thu
egislature , and It is likely that any
neasure which excites the least or-
aiilzed opposition will first have to
run the referendum gauntlet before
t can become a law. We agree with
he Mitchell Republican that the con
stitution should bo changed , raising
he percentage required to invoke the
referendum , but wo fear that in an
other "vote no" campaign it would go
lown with the rest. It Is a big job to
educate 125,000 voters so that they
ivill carefully pick out of a long list
of laws what they favor and vote for
hem , when they are opposed to the
great majority of things submitted.
It is flattering to the voter to say that
ic will do It , but some way the actual
returns do not vindicate the flattering
words.

punching he was getting , for he kept
continually boring in and slamming

the local man. The tide of battle
turned In the California ! ! s favor as

round. From then on to the finish he
gave Otto a severe beating.
Dan McKottrick , who lias assumed

it given out that from now on there'll
be no evidence of the canary in his
