LONDON. Nov. C. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram ) The appar
ently very harsh sentence passed upon Mrs.
Walter Castle todiy has undoubtedly shocked
rll London. She goes to prison under a ten-
toncii of three months , without hard labor , It
Is true , hut subject , unless pardoned mean
while , to prison discipline , prison food and
prison uniform , for that period , as well as
complete separation from her husband and
all friends.
The sentence seems amazingly unjust , In
/low of the fact that some of the most rcpu-
v&iblo phjslclnns , including a doctor In the
employ of state , who saw her In Hollow-ay
Jail for a week or so after her arrest , all
testified that the complaint from which she
ur.doubtelly had suffered since the birth of
her child Is tuch as very often leads to In
sane perversions of women , to religious
mania , It was cynically observed , as well
us , perhaps , to kleptomania , of which she
was undoubtedly a sufferer. All the ex
perts testified lo this particular mental
perversion , and she was undoubtedly Irre
sponsible for her admitted thefts.
Tlio prosecution Introduced absolutely no
cc tradlctory evidence against these experts ,
CV\iJ \ as she pleaded guilty there was no need
vof wx nesses to to fact of thefts. Under
such circumstances the natural expectation
was that she would bo released forthwith and
the sentence was received with" amazement
In the court room and It Is discussion every
where In London tonight.
On the other hand , however. It Is urged by
. ono ot the medical exports , whose Intc-rvlewu
* with your correspondent appear further
* 5-"n7onB { that had she been acquitted on the
ground of Insanity , the only duty of the
Judge would have been to tend her to an
asylum as a criminal lunatic , from which It
would bo very difficult to obtain her release.
No doubt Is expressed that Sir Matthew
Whtto niddlcy , home secretary , will shortly
relcaso her from Wormwood Schrubbs on
account of the condition of her health. This
plea may bo all very well , except that prob
ably not n woul In London believes but that
had the guilty woman been of English family
and Influence she would have been released
forthwith after the testimony.
OTHER WOMEN HAVE ESCAPED.
In fact , nn exactly simitar case was be
fore the London courts some two ye.irs
ago. In which the sister of a very distin
guished Englishman of title pleaded guilty
to stctllng quantities ot articles from army
nnd navy stores , yet was practically re
leased and sent home after her confession
Another somewhat similar but more * serious1
case was that alluded to lu these dis
patches a year or so ago. but of which nn
mention has ever been made In an English
newspaper , In which the daughter nf ini
earl and the wife of a baronet was t in
clusively proven by the police to have been
guilty ot numerous alashlngs of women In
the Kensington district H will be remem
bered that a veiled woman , drencl In
block , prowled around the directs at night
attacking with a knlfo every woman she
met In lonely places It la known to many
that the police traced the guilty deeds ab
Bolutely homo to her , but mat no arrest
was made , the husband and father being
quietly notified to place her In sotm > asylum
She Is now In u foreign nsjlum. 3h < > u.iu
Insanely Jealous of her husband. Ml tin s.
facts are common property to those Inti
matcly familiar with Scotland Yard.
U Is n dangerous thing for a newspaper to
comment unfavotably upon the decision o
nn English court The tenors and penalties
of contempt of court arc their potent weapons
pens upon such comment here , but It Is
within the rights of newspaper * to point out
us did I In my cable a few class ago , that the
of $200.000 demanded of Mr. and Mrs
Castle was preposterous , considering the
value of the ( stolen articles , and that the In
carccratlon of Mr. Castle , In view of his obvl
ous Innocence , was an outrage no ono wouli
liavn believed would be Inflicted on an Eu
gltghman of such social promlncce and wealtl
as the Americans.
As some comment may be excited at horn
because of the presenceat the trial of n
representative of out embassy , except an at
tcndant of the embassy who Is an English
man , I may explain that Plrst Sccrctarj

FOHMIDA'IILU AHUAY OP MAGISTItATES
The trial drew a crowded audience thin
morning to the stuffy little court at darken
well , where the London sessions are held
Chairman McConnell presided , having on hi
loft his deputy , Mr Lovcl. and while th
altogether exceptionable number of abou
thlity unpaid maglstintcs filled the bench
which extends In a semi-circular gallery
around the court room All magistrates o
Middlesex arc entitled to sit at Clcrkenwel
cessions , nnd In theory arc supposed to par
tlqlji.lto In determining a decision , althougl
In practice , unless the chairman couault
them , as ho did In this Instance , they pla ;
tha part ot mere dummies. Sir Edvvan
Claikc and Sir Prank Lockwood. with the !
junior counsel , were In good time , whlcl
was not peihaps surprising , conslderliii
that the two drat mined counsel had eac
a retaining fee of 123) for appearing fo
Mr. Castle and his wife
Among the goncial audience there wcr
several Americans , Including Mr. Hoclson
a messenger ftom the United Stales cm
bassy ; Major Egan , U. S. A. , and Colonc
A. G. Hawcs of Nov. ' York , who both In
funned the World representative thej at
tended to testify to Mr Castlo't high chat
ncter In San KianrUco , Mr Chatles Guthrl
of the banking film ot Chalmers & Guthrlc
Idol Lane. London , and Louis Will ! , th
two sureties for Mr and Mr . Castle t
the c.xtent of 40000 , were also present.
Mr. and Mrs. Castle , having uirendered
according to the teuns of their ball , wer
luken to the cells undc-tneath the court
whence the pitiful iobt , of Mrs. Castl
could bo heard echoing , whllo the court wa
waiting for half past 10 , the hour fixe
for opening the proceedings The two prls
oners wrro thi-n placed In the dock , Mrs
Castle being suppoited up stairs bj he
husband , who lovingly kept bin arms arouti
her while they stood to face the grave ludlct
mcnt against them.
Mrs. Castle was dressed In a tight-fitting
doublo-breabtcd , black Jacket , showing he
Blender graceful figuren plain black 1m
and black gloves. She was In a state o
object , prostration , holding her handkcrchlc
J to her e > jes. her body shaking with cot
S Mils ho nubs. Ho much ot her face as wa
visible was of deadly pallor and when sh
removed her handkerchief for an Instan
her eyes were seen to bo blood-shot an
ml with weeping.
Her husband , a hamUomc and essential !
prepossessing looking man of mildly bear
Ing and honest nnd open expression , vvn
Hushed , but firm , his concern being obvious !
far more for Ills wlfo thin for himself.
ADMITS CASTLE'S INNOCENCE
There was n buzz of suppressed applaus
vhen crown couimcl opened the proceed
Ings by declaring that no evidence was to b
offered against Mr. Castle , Thla was th
first and most agreeable surprise o ! th
proceedings , for up to the very last th
police in charge of the ca o had private !
persisted In treating both prisoners on th
name footing. Hut U was now apparcr
Hint the crown e-ounrf > l hid dcclde-d thi-i
w * nothing to Justify th' ) slightest nun
plclona against Mr. Castle. Ho was In
formed by the Judge that lie uljht le-s\o
the dock. Ilia wife looked plteotuly nt him
for nn Instant then sank bnck on Ills sup
porting arm , wlillc he showed no disposition
to leave her. lloucver , the warden beside
him explained that It was contrary to prac
tice to allow a discharged defendant to
remain In the dock under any circumstances ,
and Mr. Castle reluctantly withdrew. Mrs.
Castle's condition now became still more
painful , and a female warden came to Hit
beside her and keep her from falling to
the Moor of the dock.
The next surprise of the case was when
MM. Castle pleaded guilty to seven separate
Indictments against her. This course was
decided upon by her lawyers this morning
at a consultation before flitting of court , their
line of defense being to rely on medical tes
timony as to her mental condition to secure
her discharge without Imprisonment.
Having pleaded to the Indictment , Mrs
Cantlu's counsel received permission for her.
In view of her wretched condition , to retire
to her cell while the c.\pcrt evidence was
being taken. The chairman assented and
granted permission to Mr. Castle to stay
with his wife until the conclusion of the
case.
case.STATEMENTS
STATEMENTS OP TUB CASE.
It now having become necessary to state
the cage against her , this was done In the
fairest possible manner by Mr. llornre
Avery , a well known crown law-jcr. Noth
ing could have been mure considerate than
the way ho put the factH , there being no
effort to press nn > thing unduly or to weaken
by anticipation the defense of mental do-
langctnent which was to be put forward.
The only faint touch of color Mr. Avery
gave to Ills brief statement was when he
described the contents of Mra. Castle's
trunks as Including "a perfect museum of
small articles of value. " This caused an
almost Imperceptible titter In the court ,
which was iigaln excited as Mr. Avery lead
an epitomized catalogue of multifarious ob
jects unearthed-by the police among Mrs
astle's belongings. The sting In Mr
\vorj's statement was In Its tall , when he
olntod out "that the conduct cif Mrs. Castle
hen the police were searching her room
, t the Hotel Cecil showed an apparent con-
clousness of what she had done , and
i perfectly natural desire to
avoid the consequence. These robberies
n ere committed so skillfully that In no sln-
glo Instance was she suspected by the shop
men under whose cjes she took the goods ,
"n fact , there was nothing In her procccd-
ngs on these occasions to convey the Idea
.hat flic was not tesionslblc | for her nc-
.lons "
Sir IMward Clarke , representing Mrs. Cas-
lo , hail a task of extreme delicacy In niect-
ng the case against his client , for If lie
larped too strongly on the insanity plea lie
would Justify the chairman In holding his
client to be entirely Insane , In which event
the only sentence allowed the bench to be
Imposed , that she be detained during her
najestj's pleasure In other words , that she
would be consigned to a criminal lunatic
asjlum perhapa for life. Sir Edward's CUD
WUH to show that while unsound on thlj one
point of kleptomania , though he novel tit
tcred the words , Mrs. Castle's condition was
such that Justice would be satisfied by her
being handed over to her friends. He pro
ceeded on that line with great dexterity , ex
amining the medical experts whom he called
for the defense with extreme adroitness
Their testimony all went to show flr.st , that
Mrs Castle suffered from a certain condi
tion peculiar to women which was frequently
productive of some species of mania ; and
second , that her nervous hysterical over
wrought condition was an Infallible symtom
of this derangement.
ADMITTED I Y THE DOCTORS.
Two of the experts , Dr Grlgg and Dr. Savage
ago , are among the highest authorities in
Ixjntlon on diseases of women , but the tes
timony which mailo the greatest impression
on the court was that of
Dr , Scott , medical officer of Hol-
lovvay prison , where Mrs. Castle was
detained for a week before the police mag
istrate had accepted ball. Dr. Scott's re
port was n tonfldei.tlal one , made to the
homo secretary. In consequence of the rep
rcscntatlons made by the American ambas
sador , as to the Injury to .Mrs. . Castle a
health , certain to ensue. If she were not
liberated on ball. The report was a com
plete corroboratlon of views taken by the
other experts , although It had been prepared
pared before they saw Mis Castle at all.
The effect of Dr. Scott's entirely disinter
ested official testimony was iuch that Mrs.
Castle's release was deemed certain by all
In court. A police Inspector , accustomed
to court proceedings , who was standing near
me , volunteered the remark' "That report
will get her off , right enough. " Hut when
at the conclusion of the evidence. Chairman
McConnell Intimated that ho Intended
to withdraw for consultation with the fill
bench of magistrates It was realized that
Mrs Castle's fntc was still hanging In the-
b-ilanco Her counsel looked significantly
at each other while Mr Cjstle , who had for
a moment left his wife In the cells and re
turned Into court to get for her. as he fully
expected , glad tidings of her discharge. In
quired anxiously of his lawjers what this
proceeding of the chairman meant. They
endeavored to put the best face possible or
It of assuring him there was not a doubt
about the result and ho returned again to
the cells
cellsCAME
CAME U\CK TO CONDEMN.
After eighteen minutes' absence , the chair
nan , accompanied by the magistrate , re
sumed his place on the bench. Mrs. Castle
was now summoned to the dock again to
hear the decision. Her sobs and plaintive
cries could bo heard as she ascended the
stalls , and with her handkerchief to her
ejcs , her body quivering , as she tried to
gulp down her tears , she flung herself on
the rail In front of the dock , a pathetic pic
ture of abject dejection and misery. There
was an Intense stillness throughout the court
as'tlio chairman In a tone which showed that
he felt the palnfulncss of the occasion , stater
that after anxious consideration It was his
duty to pass sentence upon the prisoner. Ho
then went on to point out that If the prison
er's mental condition was such that It wouli
bo Imperilled by confinement , then there
were other authorities who could more
fittingly take that fact Into consideration
than ho could. This meant , of course , tha
the homo secretary could , In the cxerclsi
of his discretion , order her release If Mrs
Castlo's condition warranted It The chair
man then pronounced the sentence of the
court of "three month's with hard labor. '
Then , correcting himself added"Wlthou
bird labor "
Every one having assumed that the un
fortunate woman would be dlschaiged , this
sentence came with a painful shock of fair
prise In court. There was an unbidden pro
teatatory ejaculation of "Oh" on all sides
and the unhappy prisoner gave herself ur
to grief In utter abandonment. For tin
first time she removed her handkt-rLhlD
from e > ea swollen with cr > lng and looltci
with unspeakable agony at the Judge and
then throwing up her arms she EbrltK
hjsterically
"What doca that mean ? What does tha
mean ? "
And as fche was Icl down stairs to the cclli
nho exclaimed In ones of deepest anguish
'Oh , my God. what do.-s that mean ? " He ;
cries and sobs gradually becoming fainter.
This being the only business before tli
court , the chaliman and magistrates left tin
bench. Mr. Castle baying again obtained per.
mission of the court to visit his wife In th
cell until the time for her removal to prison
arrived Eprcsslons of sympathy wcro gen
cral and the police Inspector before men
Honed said In blunt fashion "Well , I ral
that bditcnce rough I fully expected h
would have discharged her nn her own
recognizance under the first offender net. "
HER L1PE IN PKOSPECT.
The World representative saw Dr. Scott
the prison doctor , after ho had come froni
Mrs Castle's call , and he Mid. "I feu

LINCOLN , Nov. C. When Mr. Hrjan yes-
erday received Chairman Jones' dis
patch conceding the election of William
IcKlnlcy , ho promised to Issue an addnss
o the "hlmetalllsts of America. " This
nanlfcsto , calling for renewed agitation ,
vas given out this afternoon. It Is as fol-
ows-
"Conscious that millions of loyal hearts
are saddened by temporary defeat , I beg
o offer a word of hope and encouragement.
Vo cause ever had supporters more brave ,
'arnest ' and devoted than those who have
espoused the cause of bimetallism. They
me fought from conviction , and have
fought with all the zeal which conviction
nsplres. Events will prove whether they
are right or wrong. Having done their duty
as they eavv It they have nothing to regret.
The republican candidate has been heralded
a.s the advance agent of prosperity. If his
tollclcs bring real prosperity to the Amer-
.can people those who opposed him will
share In that prosperity. If. on the other
land , his imllcles prove an Injury to the
people generally , those of his supporters
who do not belong to the office-holding
class or to the privileged classes will suffer
In common with those who opposed him
The friends of bimetallism have- not been
vanquished ; they have simply been over
come. They believe that the gold standard
Ls a conspliacy of the money changers
against the welfareoC the human race , and
until convinced of their error they will con
tinue the warfare against It.
The contest has been waged this year
under great embarrassments and against
great odds. Tor the first time during this
generation public attention has been cen
tered upon the money question as the para
mount Issue , and this has been done In spite
of all attempts upon the part of our oppo
ncnts to prevent It The republican conven
tion held out the dcluslvo hope of Intcrm-
tlonal bimetallism , while lepubllcan leaders
labored eccretly for gold monometallism
Gold standard democrats have publicly advo
cated the election of the Indianapolis ticket
whllo they labored secretly for the election
of the republican ticket. The trusts and cor-
poratlons have tried to excite a fear of law
lessness whllo they themselves have been
defying the law , and American financiers
have boasted that they were the custodians
ot national honor while they were secretly
bartering away the nation's financial Indc
pcndcnce.
THINKS HE ALMOST TRIUMPHED.
"IJut In eptte of the efforts of the admin
istration and its supporters ; In splto of the
threats of money loancrs at homo mid
abroad ; In spite of the coercion practiced by
corporate employers ; In splto of trusts and
syndicates ; In spite of an enormous repub
lican campaign fund , and In spttu of the In
fluence ot a hostile- dally press , bimetallism
has almost triumphed In the first great light
The loss of a few states , and that too , b >
very small pluralities , has defeated bimetal
lism for the present , but bimetallism
emerges from the contest stronger than It
was four months ago.
"I dcslro to commend the work of tin
three national committees which have Joinci
In the management of Oils campaign. Co
operation between the members of dlstlnci
political organizations Is always difficult , but
It has been lets so this jear than usual. In-
tercst In a common cause of great Importance
has reduced friction to a minimum. I herebj
express m > personal gratitude to the indi
vidual members , as well as the executive
officers of the national committees of the
democratic , populist and silver parties for
their efficient , untiring and unselfish labors
They have laid the foundation for future
success and will bo remembered as pioneers
when victory Is at last secured.
"No personal or political friend need
grieve because of ray defeat. My ambition
has been to secure Immediate legislation
rather than to enjoy the honors of olllce and
therefore , defeat brings to mo no feeling
of personal loss. Speaking for the wife
who has shared my labors as well as for
mjsclf. I dcslro to bay that wo have bcci

prize as the richest reward which this can.
palgn has brought.
ISSUES A RALLYING CRY.
"In the face of an enemy rejoicing In
its victory , let the roll be called for the
next engagement , and urge all friends to
bimetallism to renew their allegiance to
the cause. If wo are right , as I bellovo wo
arc , v.o shall triumph. Until convinced o
his error , let each advocate of bimetallism
continue the work. Let all silver clubs
retain their organization , hold regular meet
Ings and circulate literature. Our opponents
have succeeded In this campaign and mus
now put their theories to the test. In
stead of talking mjsterlously about 'soum
money , ' and 'an honest dollar , ' they mubi
now elaborate and defend a financial sys
tern. Every step taken by them should be
publicly considered by the silver clubs Ou
cause has prospered most where the money
question has been longest discussed among
the people. During the next four years 1
will bo studied all over this nation even
more than It has been studied in the past
The year 1900 Is not far away. Before tha
year arrlveb , International bimetallism wll
cease to deceive ; before that year arrive :
those who have called themselves goli
standard democrats will become bimetallism
and bo with us , or they will become rcpub
licans and bo open enemies ; before tha
year arrives , trusts will have convinced stll
more people that a trust Is a menace to
private welfare and to public safety ; before
that jcar arrives the evil effects of a goli
ctandard will bo even inoro evident than
they are now and the people , then ready
to demand an American financial policy fa
the American people , will Join with us litho
the Immediate restoration of the free am

In an interview ho said : "I don't think the

sldes that the men .vho dictated the St.

Internationally or otherwise. McKlnloy. It
seems to me , has shown bj his speeches that
ho would bo the advocate and supporter o

a better standard than bimetallism. During
the four jcars to come I expect to see the
republican party abandon all pretense to n
desire to secure International blmctallhTC
and the contest will hcicutter bo made be

organl/cd bouts of bimetallism. I think that
four jcars from now the people will bo null- !

of the gold standard , and the p..vty that
Mamls for bimetallism In 1000 by the- United
