looked upon as a witch. He
thought tbls explanation should

to definitely state the method of

But a woman who is so smart as to
leave her heart lying on a barn
floor until it is pouuded Into a jelly

cle of sympathy. The thresher,
perhaps, didn't know it was "only

The Abarta Trial.
SECOND DAY—"AFTERNOON SESSION.
LThe proceedings of tbo morning
session will be found on (lie fourth
page.J
The proceedings wero reopened
precisely at half-past two, tbe court
room being densely crowded. In
deed, the manner In which the bus
iness of Judge Sepulveda's Court
has been conducted during this
trial might furnish a precedent
worthy of beiug followed by the
metropolitan-tribunals of our big
northern sister. It is rare that in
any part of the world, on the first
day of a oause'celebre, such as is
this trial for murder, a Jury is ob
tained, the evidence for the prose
cution put, and the testimony of
tbe defeudaut heard.
The evidence of Dr. Kurtz had
made a decided Impression ou tho
jury, and that body now listened
with the closest attention to his
cross-examination, ably conducted
by Mr. White. Dr. Kurtz was con
sistent and positive in tbo reitera
tion of the facts connected with the
physical and mental condition of
defendant, both before aud after the
shooting. The gist of the cross
examination was directed, how
ever, to tbe conflict of author
ity between writers on meu
tal diseases—this being a Btrange
proceeding, apparently, since
the unanimity aud gen
eral good-will existing between
members of the medical fraternity
who publish hooks aro so well
known. When Dr. Kurtz said he
considered that any virtuous wo
min wbeu deprived of her virtue
would go mail undoubtedly, de
cided marks of applause were no
ticeable among the concourse with
out the bur. The defendant has
frequently, since her incarceration,
threatened iv the presence of Dr.
Kurtz to take her own life; and
this, in Dr. Kurtz's opinion, must
be evidence of insanity; ho thinks
lhat she is actually insane. Three
quarters of au hour Jiad been con
sumed in this cross-examiuution.
James Thompson, the jailor, Btat
ed tbat defendant, while iv his
charge, has been very unwell al
most all the time; bas complained
of pain In her bead; haa desired
death. She has made fnquent
complaints of sleeplessness, and
witness has given her morphine
pills. Everything with which de
fendaut could do herself harm
bas been oedulously kept from
her, and she has never
beeu left alone. She has complain
ed of heart trouble, and one night
he and his family were alarmed at
ber condition. This was soou after
her incarceration. Cross-examiua-
tlon elicited uo further information
of Importance.
Dr. Henry Worthlngtoo testified
as follows: Three years ago lie wus
called to treat the defendant for dis
menorrhooi. She was irrational
and insaue at that time. Saw her
three times only.
On cross-examination no other
important facts were brought out.
Dr. N. P. Kichardsou said that
about four years ago he treated tbe
defendaut for the same disease ac
companied by hysterical spasms.
On hie cross-examination Dr.
Richardson explained what a
spasm was. At the time he saw
her defendaut was ill in bed.
Dr. K. D. Wise testified to hav
ing known defendant fir four or
live years. Has acted as her phy
sician two or three times, iv 1877
and 1878. He treated ber for dis
meuorrbco* accompanied by paiu
lv the head. Visited defendant in
tbe jail, two or three days after tbe
killing of Forster; she had a high
pulse, Ii si of appetite, severe paiu
in her head, aud was suffering
from sleeplessness; she had beeu
undoubtedly au iuuocent girl up lo
within a very few days; the nervous
excitability of the defendant is re
markable; her mental condition
previous to the shooting was irrita
ble, and very changeable; at times
she suffered under lneuul aberra
tion, due to tbe physical troubles
fiom wbioh she suffered; ut tbe
time of the ebootiug undoubtedly
her nerves were entirely uustruuc,
and she was irresponsible for the
act; since the shooting she has
been in a condition which may
well result in permanent Insanity,
uuless the female trouble be re
lieved; this relief has hitherto been
impossible beoause of ber extreme
modesty; the Dootor here ga\'e the
definition of un Insane impulse; it
would bo harder uot to aocouut for
this not on the part of the defend
ant than to account for it; Dr. Wise
thought that (he defendaut oould
not avoid her condition, under tbe
circumstances as shown; the Doc
tor gave deunltions of hysteria and
Insanity, and agreed with the prin
cipal authorities lv his profession,
for no man cap dare to give au ex
act definition of either iusauity or
hysteria; disappointment is the
great inoentlvo to hysteria, disap
pointment lv love the great cause
of Insanity; Dr. Wise does not
think that the defendant knew cf
her offense agaluat God and mau
at the time of her slaying Forster;
at that time her bruin was un
doubtedly congested With blood.
The hypothetical questions put tv
Dr. Kurtz were also propounded to
Dr. Wise, by whom they were an
swered eveu more elaborately aud
to the same geueral effect. The
cross-examination, conducted by
Mr. White,was long aud searching,
but brought out Ho change of faots
or of opinion on tho part of Dr.
Wise. He left the wituess stand at
ten minutes to iivej and, during
the whole time he occupied it,every
one present was deeply attentive
to what he said, which also seemed
to have a marked effect upon the
jury. At oue time Dr. Wise seemed
to chafe a little under what he
chose to consider a needless repiti
tion of questions leading to uoth-
Dr, Nadeau, rc-o tiled, testified to
tbe following fact: He was called
In May, 1878, lo prescribe for tlie
defendant and treated her for dis
ineuorrhea. There was no cross
examination.
Cellua Abbott, tbe next witness,
was engaged tq be married to Fors
ter at the lime of his death. Cross
examined she said that the day be
fore the killing she aud Forster
bad a conversation concerning her
own engagement to Forster. Tbe
prosecution waived tbe right to
cross examine further, as it was In-,
tended to cal) this witness for the
State.
it waa now five o'olook, and the
defense rested here, always reserv
lug the right to call Ore. Latbrop
aud v> ortblugtoD, aotually not in
court. The jury were allowed a
reoess of Ove minutes, in order to
give those gsatlemen time to make
their appsaranos. During tbis re
be defendant conversed pleas
antly with ber counsel, Dr. Kurtz
ami others.
At the expiration of the'recess
the Jury again entered the jury
box, but the missing witnesses
were still absent. Judge Sepulveda
then adjourned thecoart until half
past seven. He said that a night
stsiion, though unpleasant, would
allow all tbe evidence to be put in
to-night; that the case would be
argued to-morrow, and possibly
submitted to tlie jury to-morrow
evening, so that the jurymen
might probably go home on Sun
day.
• EVENING SESSION.
At hulf-past seven tho heariog of
testimony was rosumed.
Mary Roberta agalu took the
stand and said: She desired to say
that it was ou Sunday, and not on
Saturday, as she inadvertently
said, that defendant told ber Mr.
Forster wished her to go to Ari
zona.
Dr. Worthlngtou, recalled, said
that uterine diseases tended to
disease the mind. Ho theu an
swered hypothetical questions sim
ilar to those wbicb had been put to
his fellow praotitiouers, in a gen
erally similar manner. He also
said that when a medioal expert
testified of his own personal knowl
edge his o|)lulou was more entitled
to weight than that of au equally
capable physician who had not
tbat personal knowledge.
The cross-examination, conduct
ed by Mr. White, turned chiefly on
the v line of expert testimony, and
tbe witness opined that less value
would attach to the opinion of a
medical export who had not at
tended for some tluje {he patient
concerning whose mental condi
tion an investigation should be
bad. Dr. Wortblngton actually
has a case of homicidal mania pro
duced by dismenorrhcen; suicidal
mauia sometimes, in fact general
ly, springs from and follows homi
cidul mauia; he admitted that he
was not very familiar witb tbe sub
ject; the intent, not the motive,
gives character to the act, but the
motive might bo the foundation of
the intent.
P.ABUTTING TESTIMONY.
John Reynolds was called for Ibe
prosecution and said: He know
Forster and the two Abarta girls;
saw Forster on the Wednesday, he
thinks, before the shooting; by his
order he went to the Abarta's
house where one of the two ladies
gave him a note for Forster; he
took the note to Forster and took a
not) from him to hor; all this was
on the same day; ou Friday be
drovb Forster to Ducommuu street;
Forster stopped tbe carriage aud
Miss Abarta approached and got
in; wituess drove by First to Ala
meda street aud ar.-isr-s tho track;
tbe pole strap broke aud wltnuss
stopped to mend Ii; Forster asked
wituess where he could get a room
and was told of several; Forster
then usked if thu teum could go tv
Banta Monica.
The defense objected to the con
versation as not in the presence of
Miss Abarta, but the objectlou was
not sustained.
Witness drove to the "Wind
mill," then to the Grand Central;
theu.to the Capo House (Mniso's
Mansion)) thence to the''Wind
mill" again, aud again to the depot
— Forster seeking a room ut all
these places; theuce witness
drove to the Uruud Ceutrul
again and thence to the Cape
House; Forster aud tbe lady gut
out and the witness left; saw Miss
Abarta ou Saturday, for betook a
package to her from Forster; held
no communication with her; saw
her again ou Sunday at the Ctpe
House, she having sent for him;
wituess bought a valise ou Sunday
and scut it to defendant: when
witness weut tn the Cape Housa
be found defendant ready to start,
beiug all dressed; she said she did
not kuow whether lo go to Nevaji
or Arls inaj witness declined tv ad
vise aud weut away; witness had
meals sent to defeudaut at the
Cape House, by request of Forster;
tbe room Forster wanted was a quiet
place of wiiioii the publio wuuld
uot know. No cross-exumluatlou.
G. Devnurst und Jo-6 ViUaloboi
were called hy tbe prosecution, but
were uot forthcoming.
Dr. W. VV. Best, called by the
prosecution, Ikldl Hud heard tbe
testimony In tbe case.
The defense objected to Witness's
testimony on the ground that he
was not established as au expert.
The Court sustained the objection,
but allowed the faot of tbe wit
ness beiug an expert to bo estab
lished, aud this was done.
Cross-examined as to being uu
expert, tbe witness admitted that
be baufuot posted hiwsali about
tbis ease until within a short time;
he bed beeu paid to study up this
o>se by Mr. Brown tho sum of $50;
ten days before payment be hau
read up from the various authori
ties; this he did In order to satisfy
himself; be hud had the necessary
experleuoe, he thought, to testify
as an expert iv iusauity oases; did
not thinx an intelligent man, uot v
physloiuu, could not read up in the
medical books ami testify aa an
expert.
The witness here asked the pro.
lection of the Court end the exam
ination was resumed.
Witness resumed, in answer tn
Mr. Brown, and said that he wuuld
not testify unless he was paid;
that be was to aid aud post Mr.
Brown—a medical attorney, as it
were. He knew experts weftf em
ployed ou tho other side.
The Court ordered tho examina
tion resumed.
Wituess was asked tliu difference
between hysteria ami mania. Ob
jection by the defense, as witness
was not an expert, overruled by
the Court. Or. Ross theu gavo a
description of hysteria, us a light
unujnot lasting attack. It is not
like insanity, as hysterical persons
rarely do whut the insane do. He
drew a broad distinction betwoen
tho two diseases. A hysterical per
son is uever afllicled by homicidal
mania; has treated a great many
oases ofdismeunorrbeu; it may, in
time, affect the mind, and iv vari
ous way-, tho period at which the
patiuut sufTers must diQVr; it lusts,
sometimes, a week. Tniuks de
feudaut had dismenorrhea, aud
quite severely; iusauity might re
sult, but ii <t iv one so young;
symptoms < f homicidal mania vary
In 'I Helen! individuals. Wituess
does not think that a, hypothetical
persuJ, oircumitanced aa defend
ant, acted except from revenge.
The question to which this is
an answer was allowed by the
Court after considerable skiiraiab
ing by opposing counsel. From
tble time on objection was taken to
•vary question asked by the prose
cution.
Witness aaid that a parson acting
as defendant woujd, naturally ex
press grief at this act; a person
cannot be sane, then insane so as to
commit homicide, then sane again,
previously not having manifested
Insane symptoms; witness bss
never before found a physician In
town wbo believed in omntlonai In
sanity till to-day; witness testified
that physicians are by no means
agreed concerning Impulsive In
sanity; some believe lv it, others
do not.
Cross-examined by 001, Godfrey:
Insanity is a disease nf the mind,
produced by disease of the brain; a
person in apparent health may
lose consciousness, becoming in
sane, ami on recovering have no
recollection of what has occurred
nd interim; emotional Insanity Is
due to various causes, such as dis
appointment, grief, and tbe line,
lasting a few hours, days, or weeks,
or being incurable; continued loss
of sleep is such cause; so is sudden
nervous shock; witness would in
vestigate euch aud every case aud
judge each on its merits; dou't
tbiuk a person firing a seoond shot
In such a case as this supposed one,
could bo insane; the person of tbe
hypothetical case so firing, or at
tempting to fire, might be insane;
an insane person may have a mo
tive in committing a homicidal
act, again he may uot; the motive
alone would not influence the
opinion of the witness; witness
never examined defendaut; be was
then asked as to what tests are in
use for determining Insanity, and
mentioned several; cannot tell
whether thore be two great divis
ions of methods of test; grief,
shame, disappointment in love are
common onuses of insanity; there
is a disease known as moutal de
pression; hysteria is a mental dis
ease, as is insanity, ami general
moral mauia; so of transitory
mania, which cannot be limited, or
measured by time; irresistible im
pulse is a disease of the mind;
there is a distinction between men
tal and moral insanity; does uot
think tbe tlefendaut was insane or
suffering from dementia of any
kiud; was capable ot judging
of right and wrong; has
never treated a patient stiffl-ring
as in the hypothetical case
so often referred to; a hardened
criminal remembers all things, our
young in crime do not; hysteria Is
not insanity. Witness cannot
draw tlio live between them, and
so hold all authors; if It were uot
proven that the person of tile hypo
thetical c tsu had shot twice, or at
tempted to do so, witness would
not reverse his opinion; persons
wbo talk of suicide rarely kill
themselves; uo save person com
mits suicide.
Dr. Jos. Hanuon *as called and
testified as follows: Is County Phy
siolsni as sticli, during the last
four years, has examined some one
hundred persons charged witb In
sanity; previous to tbis time he
has uot paid much attention to in
sanity. Wituoss defined inauulty;
divisions uf insanity are arbitrary;
mania, In so use of its forms, is thu<
most common; homicidal mauia
was deli tied as iv the bonk*; uo
Class of disease is more likely thau
another to cau-u Insanity; author
ities divided as to emotloual Insan
ity; wituess never knew personal
ly of a cast; fear or aoger cause
acts seemingly irrational; such
acts are uot insanity, for the mind
is uot diseased; iusauity lv womeu
does not generally depend on sex
ual diseases; bus seeu a, few oases
of iusauity due to uterine trouble,
ulmusl all uocurring at tbe uhauge
of life; Uever saw insanity arising
from uismeuoirlita; delirium Is said
authoritatively to result thu- de
lirium is uot insanity, altbotigii so
called by some authors; lias treat
ed many casus of dismenorrhcea,
but uever knew delirium or iusau
ity to eusue; no shooting ujuue

that rises to remark: We do not
know what the roster of tbe 421
Ohio (President Garfield's regi
ment) showed tbe full strength nf
tbe rank and file to be, but we do
know tbat enough field and line of
ficers have turned up since last No
vember, to have captured Rich
mond tbe first year of the war, If
they could have been got together.
Tbe common soldiers of the 42d, In
common with most of tbe prlvste
soldiers In the Union army, were
all killed during tbe war. But tbe
officers survived like grasshoppers.
As a lonesome private of the 47th
Illinois once said at a reunion
banquet: "Boys, I can't make
much of a speech, but I will say
this for you. There's a darned sight
more of you here than I ever saw in
a fight."
One of the slgnlflcantsigns of tbe
times is that the New York hotels
are discarding set bowls witb run
ning water aud are golog back to
the old-fashioned bowls and pitch
ers. This Is a glorious obange.
Now a mau csn take tbe pitcher
and hurl water on the bead of tbe
man who sings beneath bis win
dow.
Cats have not been employed to
reform young people so muoh as
otber animals, but they-ought to
be. You can rise witb the larK, be
as strong as a bull, wise as a ser
pent, harmless as a dove, busy as a
bee, and preserving as ao tint, but
you can't be first-class boys and
girls unless you are as faithful to a
good home as a cat.
