PIPING HOT SCEXB IN COURT Mr. Worthington Declared That He Would EethaTast Kan to He Slapped by Mr. Perry The Latter Attempted to Carry Out .Sis Throat, But Was PreTeatad b? Kr. Erowning Counsel and Jury on Edge The lie "was passed, and two well-known attorneys, Mr. It. Ross Perry and Mr. A. S. AVortbington, came near a personal encounter yesterday at the lunacy trial of Mr. O. P. Doun, of No. 925 Massachusetts avenue. After the danger ot physical violence was averted Mr. Perry, trlien he came to apeak, continued to &all Mr "Worlliinzton and his clients in keen aud bitter terras. Mr "Worthington is to speak again to day, and it is reasonably certain be vill jnake a masterly, scathing reply, both for himself raid his clients. Mr. "Wortliington is an old soldier, lame "with a gun shot wound. "When 31r. Perry on account of Juror Mitchell's avowed be lief that Mr. Donn is ii competent, a&ketl that the case Ix taken from the Jury, Mr. "Worthington said a juror has a right to express his opinion any time. SATS WHAT IS FALSE. "Mr. "Worthington is misleading the jury lliy mlsri'preseiitlng tbc law," taid Mr. Perry. "If Mr. Terry says I have stated "what I know to be not "law," ans-.v-ivd Mr. "WortJiincton, 'hit-aays what is also, t "Mr. "Wortflln&lon'fl physical condition is such that he moy call any one a liar. He has fsKely represented the law to the jury, he is unscrupulous in his conduct before the juri, he is a liar, and if it were not forhi3 physical condition 1 vcu!d slap his face," was the Tetf.rt. Mr. Browning, who is Mr. Perry's asso ciate in tlie case, stepped forward as Mr. "Worthmgton replied. "Mr. Terry needn't mind my phjsicnl condition. If he blaps me he liefer will &lap another man." Mr. Browning was just in time, for Mr. Perry was already inovmg forward to execute his threat. Others came tc his side and the two men were kept apart. The jury retired, and returning in a rewmo menLs said they would go on .ilh the case in spite of Mr. Perrj's objciiions to Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Browning resumed the ar gument begun yesterday. Referring to an authority, he said: "I will jead from the opinion of a judge who knows more about the matter than even Mr. Ciagett." JURYMAN CLAGETT'S UEPLi'. His remark was taken as offensive by Mr. Dorsey Cloggett, of the jury, and he sharply directed Mr. Browning not to go outside his argument to insult jurors. Mr. Browning concluded his address quietly. Mr. Perry followed. He said Mr. "Worth ington. knowing that Dr. Johnson uid the colored nurse would say, ir put on the stand, that Mr. Doun was propi-rly cared for, told the jury they had not of fered tb show how the old gentleman had been misused, and said it in a, way to have the jury believe the nurse and Dr. Johnson would so testify. "If that is not uttering a lie," he ex claimed, "it's acting oie. and it is wholly unfair." Further, there was not a syllable to show that Mrs. Todd and Mrs. Burton could not come and go to their father free as air; the attempt wan made -o have the jury believe they were shut out. ThestorjofMr.Metzger'ihavingtoldBelle Brown to exclude Mrs. Todd from the house was invented only to be proved absolutely falbc. Yet Mr. "Worthmgton argued neon the assumption that Mr. Doun was kept from his daughters. MR. BERRY'S ARGUMENT Again Mr "Worthington had, he said, tried to make tlie ju ry believe that if it wasproved Mr Donn is partially insane his property should be taken from him. Mr "Wortklngton know better. Any law student standing about tiie court room ought to kuow better. It was admitted, he said, that Mr. Donn is partially unsound m mind. He is said to have delusions that he is mistreated, that he is imprisoned, that somebody is trying to rob him. But he has no delusion that be has to sell his real estate, that he has to give las money to somebody, no delusion whatever about hie property. The only approach to it was when he made amistake abouttheloanto Mr. "Wilcox and Dr. Johnson had testified that this was fully accounted for by the disturbance to his memory caused by this controversy. He then read an English decision ot 1878 fls.ylnr acontractis notvoided by adelusion of the maker unless it is shown that the delusion absolutely controlled the making of it.

Ex-Mayor Ed win S. Stuart, who returned to his large book store recently, after four years of service to the city, made the startling dis covery a few days ago that during his absence from business a Oiief had gained a foothold in his store and was robbing him Detectives were put ou the case, with the result that to-day D. Elmer Penny packer, aged twenty-nine years, who had been a trusted employe in Mr. Stuart's store for thepastelghtyears, wasarrested. Pennypecker confessed that since last November he has been stealing about $10 a day 'in cash and lias taken a few books. The detectives say, however, that the rob ber has been working on a murh more ex tensive scale and that his peculations may extend further back and reach into the thousands. Through an accomplice, Pennj packer did a big business with an auction house in tlie sale of books, hun dreds being disposed of in this "vay. Pennypacker's residence was formd to be filled with valuable books, 'ind from tlie headquarters of a temperance organi zation with which the man was connected were recovered many more. Penny packer claims that a paper he published in the interest of the cause of temperance was the cause of his downfall, as it ran be hind, and he stole to meet the expenses of the publication.

THAT BELT LINE MSAHCE N J Residents Tin 0 Street Indinnant Be cause It Has Not Been Abated. Commissioner Trnesdell Bays They Are In vestigating It, But Do Not Propose to Act Hastily. The resident property owners on 0 street, J between Tenth aud Eleventh streets north west are very indignant because tho Commis sioners have not accorded them any relief in response to their petition asking that tlie management of tlie BeltLine StreetRailway l)c restraineilfromstablinga numberorthear horses on O street, near Eleventh. Many of the residents of that locality were seen by The Times jeslerday and wath one accord they characterized the action of the management of the Belt Line, in Btabb'ng their horses there against their protest aa an outraje upan law and public decency,and a want of respectf or thefeeliiufciud comfort of inhabitant!! of that neighborhood. It is not alone of the filth and the olistruct iuj; f the ttreet that Uiey complain, butof the continual clatter, clatter, clatter of the horses in the street from 5o"elock In the morning until midalght, and also of the IjjATliiig and loud talking of the boys while they w.Ut for the next relay to be brought. During the ls.st day or two an effort has been made to keep the "stable" clean aud the lKiya quiet, but how long this will last is not known. "It is not a question or appearauce," saad one of the residents, "it is a matter of health and comfort, and no matter how i 1 often the Rtreeti jre swept the fume that nue from them are simply unbearable. "Why, yesterday and last night I had to Keep my windows closed on account of the dis agreeable odors from the street." Anioig thOkt called on yfiierday, nDd who characterised the stabling of the liomes there as a nuisance, an obstruction to traffic, an offense -igalnst public moials, i dangerous to the health of the residents and causirg property in the neighliorhood to di'tcriorav in value were Dr. L.

Commissioner Truesdtil, in tpeaking ot J the petition, said that the board was nives- tizsting the matter, bJt would not act hastily. The Belt Line Company had some new nmeiulmi'iits to tltcir charter, and the case had lx'en referred to the proper au thorities for legal opinion. In addition to this the Commissioners made a personal inspection of the premises. Lieut. Tfp!c, to whose precinct this ter ritory belongs, has made a thorough inves tigation ot the matter, and submitt'il his report to the Commissioners yeslerdny. In the general routine of business tlie re port was not reached, nor were its con tents givven out for publication. HIS IDENTITY A MYSTERY. SulriuV 1r Aatiliyxiittloii of a Sinn Cnll- Ihk IlJumelf JiuiifH AVulterx. A man registering as "James "Walters, Washington, D C," commmltted suicide in Rooni3GotthAmencan House Thunday night, by breaking off tlie gas fixture in the room, and allowing the escaping gas to asphyxiate him. He was found dead In bod about 11 30 o'clock yesterday morn ing by one of the employes of the house, and after notifying the police the body was sent to Lee's undertaking establishment. The suicide evidently went to the hotel for the purpose of securing a place where he could quietly put an end to his life. A thirty-eight caliber revolver, of the bull dog pattern, fully loaded, was found on a fctand in tlie room, and with it lie probably intended to end his connections with all things earthly, until he charged his mind in favor of the less painrul method. After deciding upon that, he used every posibIe precaution to prevent dlscoverj , plug ging tlie key hole up, and stuffing a sheet around the edges of the door and transom. He then undressed himself, broke off the gas fixture and launched himself into eternity. There was absolutely nothing about tho man by which lie could be identified. A piece ot the hat band had been torn out, looking as though It might have tieen marked with tlie owner's name, and de stroyed to prevent Identification. Tiiere were no otiier marks about his clothing, except the letter "L," embroidered In one corner of a handkerchief. Tlie su.cide is a very large and heavy man, weighing about 225 pounds, and ap parent! j about fifty years old. He has Ger man features, lijiit hair and mustache, slightly turning gray, blue eyes, very fat cheeks, aud well shaped hands aud feet. His hands are soft aud smooth, ami do not indicate a working mau. He wore a No. 8 1-2 patent leather shoes, made by J. Cam meyer. Sixth avenue and Twelfth street, New York, and his trousers buttons bore the name of J. L. McEwIn, also of New York. A black four-in-haud tie, with red dots, bore the name ot James L. Miller, 303 Smithaeld street, Pittsburg. His clothing was of good material, though somewhat worn, and in his cuffs he wore n pair of gold link cuff buttons, each set with a small turquoise. The body is still at Lee's undertaking es tablishment, on Pennsylvania avenue, be tween Third and Four-and-a-half streets northwest, awaiting possible identifica tion. So far, however, his identity is 1 mstery. Meeting ot tho Congregation. The congregation of Metropolitan Pres byterian Church met Thursday evening in annual meeting. Anappropnationof$ 1,500 was made -for the building of a new gal lery, frescoing, painting, new sanitary system and alterations to tho grounds sur rounding tho edifice. To meet the expenses incurred in this work, a long time loan is to be obtained and subscriptions solicited. Other business Included the adoption of the rules of the General Assembly, as far as applicable in church procedure, and elec tlon to the board of trustees, as follows Messrs. Fleming, Guy and McGregor for three years each and Mr. Stewart for two years, the hold-over members being Messrs. McGowan. Trow, Church and Clarke. Junior KpworthiiuiH Eutertulneil. The Junior Epwortli League, under the direction of Mr. Charles Haj den Chase, last night pleasingly rendored an entertaining musical and literary programme in tho lecture-room of tho McKcudree M. E. Church on Massachusetts avenue, near Ninth street, to a largo audience. Misses Mabel Gheon, Sarah Wastell, Alice It. Riff el, and Emily Brewood and Messrs. Hoyt Lambson and Allen Schlerf took part in the musical programme and Harry Hurfurth gave a recitation. Cnpt. Torrons' Critical Condition. Capt. Joseph Torrens, who was stricken with paraljsis at Costello's Hall, corner of Sixth and G streets northwest, Wed nesday afternoon, is in a very serious condition. It Is feared that his advanced age will greatly retard his recovery. He is seventy-rour years old and was an offi cer of tho District jail twenty-four years. Several months ago he was dismissed by Warden Leonard, but was subsequently reinstated. Now Comes tho innll Boy's Delight. Mr. Clarence L.

Judge Cole, in His Charge, Dsclarcs That the law Condemns tho Boctrino "" of Emotional Insanity. The case against Thomas J.Taylorfor the murder of his wife on September 14 last was argued jesterday and at 4.15 p. in. wasMtbmlUed to the jury. At 8 p. m. they had not agreed and were locked up till morning. ,, At the openingcourt Messrs. Barret tand Kites for the dtiferise asked instructions t hat if the ju ry be'f fevejl Taylor irresponsible when he did the Gjiyoling.onf they believed the fatal shot mm iifccidentnl they nhould acquit. Judge Cole, after the arguments had Iwen made, instructed lli jury partly in com pliance with thesr pfhjers and Mr. Barrett noted exceptioiui'on Vlie points wherein he departed from tAeni.' Judge Cole said" ptlssion is not insanity; neither is uncontrollable unpul&vnor ex- cilemsiit which 'clouds the mind insanity. The testimony 6f 'the experts should be given due weight; bill the jury must not jield their own 'judgment. They must consider the oecurehufs mimcdiat-Iy pre ceding and succeeding the shooting and ask themselves, whether ft lg reasonable o sup pose that the defendant wai insane when lie killed his t ife. The law' does not recognl7e b'it condemna the doctrine of emotional or momentary Insanity, considering it dangerous. The question of the wife's infidelity was not to be considered unless it wns found that Taylor had been insane IX'fore and the shock of the misfortune rendered him again irresponsible. If the jury lhrlieved the ball glanced from Taylor's Side and killed his wife by accident, they mu st convict of manslaughter. Tor the government Assistant District Attorney Jeffords, in argument, presented t tieevidenceglven Thursday by MrT.Virtoria Clarkson who lived in the house with the Talor'a flatly contradicting Taylor's Btory fat hi wifeconfe-'-edlierguilt. Mrs. Clarkson heard the shot and hrard Mrs. Taylor cry out, "Before God In heaven, I am innocent;" a moment later Taylor called out that ho had killed ills wire aud himself. Medr. Niles and Barrett levie ved the testimony ot Mrs. Davis and the defeudant ur-ins ttut tlie defendant was clearly a victim ot epilepsy and called upon the test! mony of the physicians to show that a man surferin-r from epilepsy may Till into a state of irresponsibility for a Tew mnments as the lawdoesnotpsrmltltlobebeHcvedotaman merely insane. Mr. Birney told the jury thati it waB simply a question whether a man vhose cruelty to his wife had been proved could kill her 111 cold blood and go free on his own testimony, when the victim's mouth was closed forever. TIftID EXECUTOR JONES. Ho Let HiH Rights in S. T. Jones' Kutute Go Unused for Fear Of 11 Contest. George W. Jones yesterday filed an an swer to the demand upon him for an ac counting aa the executor of the late Selwln T. Jonc3, and Judge Hagner ordered that he should bring a properly made up state ment. Mr. Jones soj's that he has never really qualified as executor. He found the prop erty all In the possession of persons op posed to his acting as executor, and he had not the money to make a fight m court. Ho therefore allowed his rights to go un used. The estate, he asserts, consisted mainly of a flour and feed business at No. 2022 Twelfth street uortbT?est, and he is in formed that the widow, Lillian Richards Jones, tojr possession of the stock and sold it ouWt No. 935 B street northwest, where she has a store.

And in older that the discussion be systematically aud profitably conducted I would suggest also that it be conducted by two persons only whom you might select or who might be chosen by thoso interested to represent them, and that all correspondence bearing on the subject bo addressed to them.

Church, writes: "Your favor of the 12th instant was received yesterday. I hasten to reply. Your efforts to down the dens of iniquity that infest our city and vicinity arc highly commendable and should meet with the prompt response not only of the ministers (the creator, with the press, of public sen timent), but ot every right-minded citizen. "It would be my pleasure to preach on the subject tiie following Sunday, as you request, but previous arrangements will make it impracticable. But I will take occasion to make a short prelude on the subject. I have already preached on the subject gambling. I pray that success may attend your efforts. I shall be willing at aU timed to do anjthing I can as a teacher of morals to enforce the principles of good government. Rev. Dr. Hugh Johnston, pastor of Metropolitan M. E. Church, says: "Certainly I will speak against the great evil to-morrow night." IN HEARTIESTSYMPATHY. Rev. N. C. Naylor, of tho Maryland Avenue Baptist Church, says: "Your request at hand.

Butler, pastor of Keller Memorial Lutheran Church, responds: "I shall be glad to comply with your request and speak Sunday evening next of the evils centering in Jackson City, and trust that you may succeed in your noble effrt."

J., of St. Alojsius Church, responds: "We will take great pleasure in ec onding your efforts to put down gambling and ita evil consequences, as mentioned in your letter. I will ask the preacher next Sunday to mako some references to the subject." Rev. Albort M. HUlikcr, of Epiphany Chapel, says: "1 leave the city to-night for a Ktay of about two weeks, so that I cannot comply with your request. There are few vices more generally demoralizing than gambling, and anything I could say or do to lessen the evil would, of course, be gladly said or done. Am sorry to say that I haven't kept up with the agitation to abolish Jackson City dens; shall be glad of any information." THELAUDABLE WORK. Rev. TuomaB O. Tongue, rector of Grace P. E.
