Stanley testi fied that he atole the repe, took It te AndcVsen's and sold It te him, but befere the price was agreed upon he told Ander Ander eon the repe was stolen. The defense was that Andersen's son bought the repe from Stanley, in the ab sence or the defendant, and that the defen dant had no knowledgo that the property bought was stelen, and when be loarned that a Columbia Junk dealer would net buy the repe because he thought U was stelen, he compelled Stanley te take It away from his premises, and notified the ewner that Stanley had sold It te his son, and this led te Stanley's arrest.

Uacr, who was In Phila delphia. In the evening, however, all doubt was set at rest by the enterltiK or a deed or as signment iu the recorder's ofllce, made by the Koysteno Furnace company te the Reading Trust company. The doed con veys all the real estate, consisting of fifteen acres In the city, two anthracite blast fur nace, all the stock or iron, tools and fix ture?, Ter the benefit of creditors, without preferences. The secured debts aggregate 130,000 and the floating Indebtedness is said te amount te between 03,000 and 75,000. The latter Is all due te parties In Eastern Pennsyl vania for Iren ere, limestone, coal and ether supplies. The deed is signed by Henry Bushong, president, and Ooerge U.

When we re sumed control we put him en the same footing with the ethor prisoners and gave him te understand that he must behave. In my Judgment Jacobs knew the difference between being allowed te de as he pleased and being com cem com pellod te obey erders; I would say, as far as I knew, he knows the dllTorcnce bctweeu right and wrong all the time ; In a conversation I had with htm In the cell Jacobs, hi speaking of Qulgley, said he did net Intend te kill him ; that he was iu n passion and went Inte the heuse aud get the butcher knlfe and came out and killed him. Frem my conversation and contact with Jacobs, as the keoperoftho prison, I am of the opinion that most or the time he is playing off. Thcre are times when he might appear te be a lltlle efr. My expe rience as a keeper is that prisoners 'playoff llke Jacobs, for the purpese of gaining sympathy. "When Doctors Bruch and Gerhsrd wcre at the prison Jacobs' hair and beard wero long. They had been growing evor slnce I had been thore, and they gave him a kind of wild leek and nppearancn. Within six weeks past we had his hair nud beard cut, and he leeks llke a different man. He objected te hav ing his hair cut, but 1 foil that It was neces sary it should be cut. lle knewH every officer about the prison and their duties. He likes seme much better than ethor?, and is very spiteful te seme of them. His conduct at the present time is llke that of any ordinary prisoner. Jacobs saya thnt we need net watch him se closeand that he is net going te kill himself." Dr. L.F. Sleglortestltlod : "I am visiting physician at the prison; graduated at Jef Jef fereon medical coliego Iu 16S0 ; was ler two yearsasslstant te Dr. Jehn H. McCreaiy at tlie Lancaster county hospital and insane asylum; 1 have seen Jacobs nearly eveiy oilier day for the past 18 menths: I have observed very closely his mental und phy sical condition. He has net required ether or dlll'orent medical treatment A out what ether prisoners require who are confined for criminal offenses. He has eaten and slept very well. His general physical condition Is pretty lair. He cats and sleeps well and is en en Jeying geed health. 1 had noticed a change lu his conduct as his trial ap proached; at different times when his trials were approaching he became very oxclt exclt able, looked very quecr and uctcd In a very peculiar manner; 1 also observed that after the period for trial had passed and the case was net tried that he became inore rational and quiet, and talked qulte in telligently. I noticed the same thing at the time fixed for his hear ing befere the beard of iwrdens, and after the sheriff's warrant was read te him he scorned te roallze his posi tion, as he was very quiet lu IiIh demeanor nnd said he hoped It would all seen be at an end. He always could tell 1110 perfectly when he was net feeling well and what was the matter with him. He nevcr re quired active treatment. I think James H.Jacebs knew what he was doing while he was confined In the Lancaster county prison and knewa new what he Is doing. I decidedly think he knows right Aein wrong. He lias will power and the power of restraining Ids actions and conduct. I think thcrefore he Is u rational man te- day. Under his present conditions Ithlnk he would e 11 fit subject for execution." lu answorle llmquestleu "can the sanity or Insanity of an individual, iu your Judg ment, be positively asserted after 11 single examination, however thorough? Dr. Slcglcr said, "Se, net In all cabes." The reason the doctor gave was that "Ills often very difficult te dotennlne whether a person or Individual Is sane or Insane, and icquircs prolonged observation and Intelli gent acquaintance with the past and present behavior and conduct or the per son. Criminals often simulate insanity mr the purpese of escaping punishment. They ure very cunning and adroit In thelr pre tenses under such circumstances. They perform acts that would make n casual be holder think they wcre really insane." In his judgment bodily symptoms of dlsease ascertained by the state or condi tion of the pulse, the digestion, the heart, the secretions, could net be taken as proofs of mental disease " 1 examineu Jaceuv pulse a week age and round It 80 beats per minute, regular lu action. Thore was noth neth noth thero te lndicate mental disturbance. The pulse only indicates mental disturbance when it lsaccempanied by ethor symptoms mero Important. I have seen Jacobs about 300 times during the past 18 months ; at times he talked strangely and at ether times rationally. Frem my intercourse and contact with him, 1 came te the conclu sion that at the time he talked irratlonallyhe was simulating Insanity. One reason Isthat I watched him at times when he was net observing 1110, at which tlirs he con ducted hliiiseir as any ene who was or sound iiilnd. Then again when the period or his trial approached he acted very strangely and when strangers were about he would endeavor te attract their atten tion te hlmsciriiy making noise, singing, "A inansufforliigfrema terin of chronic insanity, such as testified te by Dr. Ger hard, can net sleep as well as Jacobs dees. Anether reason for my bclieving that Jacobs is simulating Insanity Is that at the time when I observed him he talked In a natural manner and followed the line of thought without interruption, without re curring suddenly te seme favorite subject llke persons de who are suffering from chronic mania. "Jacobs' health through his entire Incar ceration was never bad, and It Is as geed te-day as it was at any t i 1110 during his In carceration. Ills general appearance Is new geed, lle has become much quieter slnce the death watch was removed. "Jacobs did net glve evidence of the hallu cinations and delusions testified te by Dr. Gerhard. "The last conversation I had w ith him as regards the crime was two weeks age. He stated te me that he had no fear or being executed, as he did net think they would hang any ene In this county, saying further that It was qulte a iiumber of years slnce any was hung here. He also asked 1110 my opinion about that,te which I replied I did net knew what would be done. He said this In the presence or the llrst turner keeper. "The fact that his pulnu did net show any chauge or elevation 111 tint number of beats or in Its rhythm when told by the experts who examined him of hi mode Of death, Ac, was because he had been told that same thing many tlmes befere by different persons and it had get te be an old story te which he bocame wholly indlfforent. "On one.occasion when I had my flngcr 011 his pulse, and speaking te him about his execution, I asked him if he was crazy, that a large number of persons were saying that he was playing crazy, and he replied that he had nothing whatever te say about It, that I could draw my own conclusions, If I se wished. I have seen large numbers of persons at different times, strangers te him, go te his cell and converse freely Willi him en any subject." The examination of witnesses w as con tinued this afternoon.

The acrtage in Connecticut valley has in creased ever that of last year, but of course is nothing te what It was ten years age, while the acreage in the Housatento val val ley Is larger than ever. The crop Is large In both valleys, and the quality was never better, although the yield is, pcrliap', 200 pounds per aero less than last year. Ve low effers have yet been made for tbe m crop, for which grewers expect from 10 1 20 cents per pound. The crop will be two-i thirds harvested this week and this r r niAlnder will be put In by Seplomber. In Sew Yerk state the crop In Oi.en.daga county Is grown en mero acres than last, year, but the yield per acre Is less, nnd ten. days mero of geed wcather will be nceded te perfect the latect plants. The quality Is excellent en the uplands, but here, as elsowhcre in the, Chrmuiig valley and the Big Flats district, the crop en the lowland has been Injured by the wet.
