MILLS GREATLY AGITATED I V The two In Judge Powers ofllce were soon Joined by their father and all were much agitated by the Incident Mrs Mllla was no overcome that She V could not speak Their object In going into the olllcc was apparently to prevent pre-vent Mrs OMolveney from locating V their abode or clue It was because Mrtf Mills had become KO much perturbed that she wan unable to continue to her home which la north of the Eagle block C on West Temple None of the party would talk about the matter last night but that they feared Mrs OMclveney burdened us she must bo with Borrow might make some attempt to injure I V I Mrs Mills wan evident from their manner FIRST TIME SINCE TRAGEDY Yesterday WU the first limo Mrs 0Mthauy had accn Mis 1nll Ifll the tragedy and that fact also added to tho fears of those who oro followed Mrs OMelveneys calmness during the trial has excited the wonder of all who have V observed her and many have stated that they t would not surprised to learn of her doing something desperate despe-rate PRECAUTIONS BY OFFICERS That the ofllcers feared an attempt of some kind was indicated during the afternoon session of the court Capt Mills who has occupied a seat only a few feet from Mrs OMelveney during I tho entire trial was moved quite a dis tance away toward the west side of I V V ¼ 1r V V V t 4ii 7 < V I I H 1 1 l j Mrs OMelveney Following Mrs Mills and the Messrs Hopf Scene at V Fourth South and West Temple Street where the Party Turned North the room and his sister with her husband hus-band Rev Jacob Mills and Sheriff Jlowells were sealed between the Captain Cap-tain und Mrs OMelvcney Mrs OMel veney was not four feet distant from an olllcer during the entire afternoon Deputy Perry seated himself directly behind her when court opened lie left his seat once and Deputy Cummock Immediately occupied it and remained there until Mr Perry returned Mrs Mills was not In the building during the afternoon and the Captain was carefully guarded until Mrs OMel venoy left the building MRS OMELVENEYS MOTIVES Mrs OMelveney may have been Impelled Im-pelled only by motives of curiosity In following the three people yesterday Perhaps she was desirous of merely seeing the woman who is said to have stolen her husband away from her but as she was well acquainted with Mrs Mills prior to the tragedy this theory seems hardly probable INSANITY EVIDENCE The proceedings J In the trial ester day were largely composed of Insanity The two Insanity experts Drs GIvlns and Pike who testlikd for the defense Ing his replies readily and fully maintained main-tained perfect selfpossession and was proof agalnft being confused by Mr J Putnam long and thorough crossex amination whlrh consumed a good part of the afternoon The testimony of the two experts did not differ materially In its bearing on the rase exicpt In tile mailer of tci ms the hypnthelical question being submitted sub-mitted I to both of them Dr nivins I did nut believe CopL Mills l was able to distinguish between right and wrong when he did the shooting while Dr Pike thought the defendant might have been able to distinguish but was unable to control his action Judge Powers brought in a new proposition In his examination of Dr Pike by l asking the doctor to locate the eat of speech In the human brain Dr Pike placed it on the left side Just above the ear Judge Powers then t described de-scribed the position of tile 511015 that killed OMelveney and asked tlm t doctor If he believed that a man could speak after rccciing the wounds described DI Pike said it would be possible but scarcely probable Mr Putnam closed one of his ques tions staling some of Mlllss doings by saying and after ling I taken to the police station he sent for Judge lowers low-ers Is there anything In that which would indicate insanity Dr Pike re fused to tmbrace the opportunity and answered that there was not Dr Pike was on the stand until 4 I10 1 The rrov d which had been heavy as usual thinned out perceptibly during Dr Pikes crossexamination the tech nical remarks about mania hallucina tion melancholia dementia transitory Insanity lunacy straight crazy etc evidently proving too thrilling to some of the SPectators and when Lm Hall was cnlled at the conclusion of Dr Pikes crossexamination Mr Hall al d314 C V 7V V 2 V 7 I V I iJ i iiI l ii-I K I V 1 V V Mrs OMelveney and Deputy Party in tho Courtroom occupied nearly the entire day and their conclusion was that Cnpt Mllla was Insane when ho shot OMelveney Dr GIvlns was Instructed by the court to reply to the queries at tho end of the hypothetical question rod by Judge Powers the evening before Judge Nor rell holding that the objections mado were Immaterial Dr Givins replied In the afllrmatlve to all the queries and questioned further by Judge Powers gave a practical demonstration of what he meant by some of the ailments which he said allllcted Capt Mills by calling the defendant to the front and illustrating by tests made on the Cap tain a person Dr GIvlns also took Capt Mllla temperature In court and found It to be S3 25 Ho pronounced him a far from well man In his crossexamination of Dr Giv Ins Mr Putnam referred to a work on Insanity by Dr Clevenger of Chicago Dr Clevenger was an expert against Judge Powers when the latter defended the Irvine cose In Lincoln Nob and the Judge has kept track of tho expert When Mr Putnam asked the question referring to Dr Clevenger yesterday Judge Powers Interjected And do you know Dr GIvlns that aa a result of writing that book Dr Clevenger died Insane The audience set up a shout and was with dltllculty called to order THE UTAH EXPERT The crossexamination of Dr GIvlns failed to weaken his direct examination examina-tion materially and shortly before noon Dr Pike tin other expert was taller l1i Plk > n uU > a wnUiilnl ulinrsa Kfv though l he Is far from ethereal was hailed us an angel of light DEMEANOR OF MILLS Mr Hall testified that he saw Mills the Sunday before the shooting and was struck by I the apparent change In the Captains health Mr Hall was very clear In his recollection and gave his testimony in a very effective way Ho was followed by his son Joseph Hall a stalwart athleticlooking young man who was a member of Capt Mlllss company at Honolulu Joseph I Hall testified that he mot Capt Mills on the street going toward the Short Line building a very few minutes before be-fore the shooting occurred Although he know the Captain well and they were excellent friends the latter did not reply to his salutation but kept his eyes fixed straight In front of him not turning his head either the right or left WHY SHE WAS THERE Mrs Mills spent the forenoon In he I Sheriffs ofllce to be ready In case she should be called as a witness for the prosecution I Judge Powers having In behalf of Capt Mllla waived the statutory statu-tory objection to a WIfe appearing against her husband and giving the prosecution permission to call Mrs Mills Mr Putnam said the defense would need her to prove that defilement defile-ment had occurred but the ruling oC Judge Norrell on thli 1 point holding that being told so that be were con vine d was all that was nccfsary to establish lln bilfef of the husband that the IrWrmrnr ml l krn plnee will probably be considered suniclcnL The prosecution staled that it did not desire to cull Mrs MIllH and the
