CLOSING ARGUMENTS TO JURY
Mndo by Major Everett Warren and ex
Judco Duiley-Cluirgo Delivered by
Judgo Auhcson In Submitting tho
Cnse-Juror Green's Wife Dead.
Monday afternoon's dramatic occur
rence -at tho trial of the Dickinson
cai before JuiIk' Acheson In the
United States circuit court, attracted a.
morbid thronir to the federal building
yesterday to hear the closing argu
ments to the jury by the counsel on
both Fides. The cas was given tu tho
Jury at 3.13 p. m. and at midnight a ver
dict had not been iiKieed upon.
Major 'Warren, ut S o'clock, opened
for the defendants and concluded' his
address ut 11 o'clock. Those who list
ened to It say that for comprehensive
ness and elaborate, unexceptionable ar
gument, 1t deserves to rank unions the
foremost of pleadings to' a Jury In this
part of Pennsylvania. He paid a hinh
compllmer.t lo Miss Diekliisoti'B bril
liant life, and sitld that the m il--which
the delVndants were present In
court was made necessary In the in
terest of Immunity. He sifted the evi
dence from the time that It had any
bearhiK upon the suit until the day of
her confinement In Danville usyliim.
She ullec.es that slip was rune when
they removed her, and her unsupported
testimony stands alone against that of
her sister, her true friends and three
reputable physicians who had only the
purest and must humane motives In
seeing her removed a nil cared for nt a
place, n noble Institution of Its kind,
where the- treatment she would receive
would leinvlsorate her and mnke her
airain the Anna Dickinson of old. And
for this she has repaid them by brinir
ln;r a suit for damages against them.
She must either be an Insane being1 or
else one of the most wicked women
living. Major Warren refused to be
lieve that she was wicked and pro
ceeded then to unfold to the jury one
after the ether, the numerous actions
and events, all of which have been
brought out on trial, to establish her
mental unsoundness. Last of all was
her attack upon hint, and he denomi
nated It one of the most low-lived,
dirty and outrageous charges ever In
vented. Jiidfto Hailcy's Display.
Judge Da Hoy followed and his ad
dress diil not conclude until 1 o'clock,
when court adjourned for dinner. It
was an eloquent effort, and its equal
In word palntlnit and embellishment
would bo dillU-u't to discover. He be
pr.tn with Miss Dickinson's girlhood In
Philadelphia, her experience at a youth
ful a;-fe on the lecture platform, where
she won a, reputation th.it extended
from shore to shore, her glorious ser
vices to her country during the war,
her success upon the stage, and then he
drifted through ail the evidence re
latins to her Incarceration in an in-
no asylum at the Instance of de
signing persons whose animus was to
get possession of her property.
Precisely at Z o'clock Jud;;e Arheson
began lils charrgu to the jury. He In
formed them that the suit which they
had heard tried, was an action of tres
pass, brought by Anna E. Dickinson
against John Courtright, Dr. Gideon
I'ndorwood, Dr. John L. Heilman, -T.
Harry lJryi'.'n, fhorge I!. Thompson
and All-in Kg-i'lostun. all of West Pitts
ton borough, but Mr. Courtright, the
Hist named defendant, Is dead, ami the
action Is therefore against the others.
That two of the physicians are doctors,
onr a practitioner of forty years' ex
perience, the other considerably less
than that, but both men of considerable
experience?.
Court then explained thv.t previous
to tire removal of Misa Dickinson to
the Danville asylum she and her sister
Fusnn lived In West Pittsiton, and Miss
Susan was the lessee of the premises.
The plaintiff alleges that on Feb. 2",
1SS1, the defendants broke open her
room door and by force and against hor
will removed her to the Danville In
sane asylum, where she was confined
and remained for five weeks and one
day. The evidence, the court said,
shows that the room was burst open,
and during- the trial the plaintiff and
her witnesses have characterized and
condemned thf actions of the defend
ants on that occasion as Inhuman, etc.
Hut the jury r.hould proceed wlih only
the light guided by the evidence. The
defendants maintain that .their evi
dence has proven that nt the time of her
removal, MIsa Dickinson was not In her
proper mind.
Oticsiion for tho lury.
It Is for the jury, tl.-n, to decide
whether these allegations of the de
fendants are true. It not only appears
from the testimony adduced at the
trial, but lt Is a matter of common
knowledge that one of unsound mini)
Is said to be deranged, but that does
not necessarily imply the extinction of
tho mental faeuMics. An Insane per
son may have memory. pnd may mason
along certain lines, r.nd think and net
with remarrkable cunnlnp. The words
and actions of the individual are the
best points from which to form n con
clusion as to his snnlty; not one notice
ably glaring action, but the regular
train of apparently Insignificant events,
which In themselves are not of much
copsequence, but when masoned nn a
whole may Indicate a certain condition
of the mind.
Each one of the defendants except
Dr. Underwood aro near friends of the
Dickinson family, and what they had
to do with Anna's removal to Danville
was at the Instance and request of Miss
Susan. And there has been much evi
dence to show that Susan had been
warmly attached to the plaintiff. It
appears that on or about Thursday,
Feb. 19, IS'Jl, Susan mnnlfcrtted nn
anxiety on account of the alleged extra
ordinary actions of her sister, who be
gan to conduct herself In a strange and
unnatural manner. Three women, the
plaintiff, Miss Susan, and Martha, the
servant, were the only occupants of the
house and being In dread of any harm
that Miss Anna might commit, the as
sistance of Mr. Eggleston and Dr. Hell
man was sought, and they came end
remained In tho house during the night.
The Dickinsons being In utralghtened
pecuniary circumstances, Miss Susan
related that the poor authorities were
Invoked, and Dr. Underwood, who had
a wide range of experience with insane
patients, was called by Or. Heilman to
make an examination of Miss Anna's
mntal condition, as a preparatory step
toward removing her to the asylum for
treatment. Dr. Underwood examined
Miss Dickinson and made out a certifi
cate of lunacy. It was signed by Dr.
Underwood and Dr. Heilman, but the
latter not having been a medical prac
titioner for five years before that time,
aa required iby the act of assembly, Dr.
James Oglesby, of Danville, a physician
of wide 'practice, was called to examine
her at 'the asylum, and hu adjudged
her Insane, and a certificate of lunacy
was made, out and signed by Drs. Un
derwood and OgleHUy.
i Ills Closing KcmnrKs.
Judge Acheson explained to the Jury
that ho would not reclto the testimony
over again to them; but he mentioned
the occasions of M(ss Dickinson's com
plaint regarding the pains In her toes;
the allocations that she was subject to
the liquor habit; tho wounding of her
KlBter Susan with the scissors; chasing
the servant out on the street; her ac
tion In tearlnic up telegrams at the
Plttston depot; her conduct at the
dressmaker's, exposing her person to
show a scar where, an operation hud
been performed on her, und several oth
er minor Incidents, were brought to tho
notice of the jury by the cuurt.
If these occurrences establish any
proof of the plaintiff's unsoundness of
mind the Jury Is bound to accept them
a3 Indications of her mental condition.
Court Impressed strongly upon the
minds of the jury the uctlon of Miss
Dickinson In lot-king herself In her room
for three days und refusing to eat.
What opinion, asked the court, can be
deduced from this action? In summing
up his charge Judjre Acheson Instructed
the Jury that they must weigh well all
the circumstances, arid a safe rule to
Ko by would be to deliberate upon what
they themselves would do under the
circumstances.
Itefore Judge Acheson began bin
charge to the Jury he received a tele
gram announcing; the death of the wife
of Juror Green, of McCrav. Forest
! county. In closing his charge the judge
sum mat lie would be ready to take
the verdict up to midnight, that Juror
t liven might return to his home as
soon ns an nprieement was renehed.
The jurors had stormy sessions during
the evening und nt midnight retired to
their cots unablo to reach a conclusion.
XOXSl IT IX TOSH CASE.
Hcusons for Which Judge Archbuld
drained It.
The suit of James Welsh, executor of
Mary Welsh, against the Dwelling
House Insurance company, was re
sumed before Judge Archibald in tho
main court room yesterday morning.
At 10 o'clock the plaintiff rested and the
defense asked fur a nonsuit on the
ground that as the policy was not trans
ferred to Jumps Welsh after the death
or Mary Welsh it became void. A
lengthy arrument was m:tde In sup
port of the motion for n nonsuit by At
torney Lelscr, or Lewisburg, who held
that as, James Welsh was the sole
legatee under the will, he at once be
came the owner of the property, and
that In consequence of this change of
title the policy became void. Judge
Archbnld endorsed this position and
granted the nonsuit.
In the action of John Hum against
the city of Scranton a verdict of $130
was taken by agreement.

Before Judge Simoiiton In court room
No. 2 the action of Miss Lulu Gress
against Contractor E. D. Nicholas, of
the AA'est Side, was tried. Miss Gress'
father, Samuel tlress, was employed
by the defendant as a foreman and
nssisned to his daughter a wages claim
for $7,",.10 against Nicholas. The latter
denied that he owed that amount of
money to Gress, and placed the umount
of his Indebtedness at J3S.27. Attorney
Charles E. Olver appeared fovthe plain
tiff and Attorney C. Comegys for the
defendant. A verdict of $r.!i.73 was re
turned in favor of the plaintiff.
In the action of the Scranton Pack
ing company against H. A. Koche, no
appearance was made for the defend
ant and a verdict of f lS.ll, was taken
for the plaintiff, being the full amount
of the claim with interest.

Slowther against his father-in-law, A.

before Judge Ounster. The plaintiff
brought the action to recover a bill for
twcnty-flvo months' board at $10 u
month. The plaintiff was put on the
stand to testify nnd almost fainted
while telling his story to the Jury. He
was assisted to a window where he re
vived. He then took the stand again
and continued his story. It appeared
that Slowther wns now In the county
Jail on a charge of breaking a sewing
machine that had been taken into his
house njralnst hin wishes. When the
circumstances were made known to
Judge Gunster he ordered that Slow
ther be released from Jail on his son's
recognizance in the sum of $200. The
jury rendered a verdict In favor of
Slowther for $273.75.

RIYEIt Q. THE RAMPAGE.
Lackawanna Is Higher Than It llus llecn
for Vcurs.
Reports from all low points between
the towns of Honesdale and AVilkes
Barre are to the effect that the rivers
and streams roundabout, having been
fed by the recent rains, have overflowed
their banks and done considerable
damage.
The most serious story comes from
Jerniyn where a washout on the On
tario nnd Western, railroad was re
sponsible for a wreck that occurred to a
freight train yesterday morning at 3
o'clock, and resulted In the death of
Peter Farrell, a brakeman of the train.
A heavy volume of water swept down
Rushbrouk Creek and wushed away a
portion of the roadbed. Farrell was
riding In the cab of the engine and
jumped to save himself, but he Jumped
to his death.
In Honesdale tho rain poured down so
Incessantly Sunday and Monday that
all the streams In the vicinity over
flowed their banks. The water had
risen so high that persons living along
the Dyberry creek Jiecame fearful of
being washed out, nnd the live stock
had to be removed from stables along
the river. Cellars were flooded, out
houses washed away, roads submerged,
nnd the havoc Is widespread. Until
Sunday there had been three feet of
snow In the woods. The water damnged
the stock In the box factory of Wooden
& "Blackney, and th flood has reached
a higher mark than ever before, except
when Ice blockades occurred. The
flats above Honesdale are all flooded,
and below tho town a dam on the Lack
awanna river nnd two on the Dyberry
were carried down the stream. This
will cause a delay of two or three weeks
In the navigation on the river, before
these breaks can be repaired.
1 p In Cnrhnndalc.
Reports from Carbondale state that
the flood has caused great havoc in
many parts of the city. The supports
of tho bridges on Sixth and Eighth ave
nues have been swept from their posi
tions and the press room of tho Herald
otllce had over nine Inches of water.
Two of the local mines were reported
to be flooded.
Along the Lnckawanna river south to
this city the water has backed up on
the lowlands and submerged considera
ble territory. At Archbnld, Pcckvllle,
Olyphant and Dickson cellars of houses
contiguous to the river nro filled with
water. And In thin city the water at
Nay Aug avenue and West Market'
street Is two feet deep on the street.
The river has swollen to such an ex

Is unsafe, and at Court street-and Al

building will be built a box containing
room for seven press representatives.
The seating part of the stand will be
reached by two double flights of steps
from the lawn, and a broad Btalrway
leading up from the basement.
A new Judges' stand Is to be erected,
and new fences will enclose the track
and will be built entirely around the
park. As soon as the weather permits
the track Is to be put In first class con
dition and will -be kept so during open
weather.
The old sheds have been torn down
and replaced by forty stalls. One of
the large exhibition buildings Is now
being completely renovated and when
the work is finished will contain fifty
largo box stalls. In fact, the entire
property Is to be built anew, and when
the season opens the park will hay"e

Along Grove street the cellars are filled
with water, and the flats east of the
Base Ball park Is submerged.

The next place where any damage Is
done Is oro the South Side at the Central
Park garden. The hotel connected with
the garden Is conducted by Proprietor
Charles) S. Gelbert In the basement of
the building adjoining the park and
the water has backed Into It from the
Stafford Meadow brook and covered
the floor to the depth of two feet. The
cellar of the hotel of Mrs. Andrew Glb
lln,. situated on the bank of the brook, Is
flooded almost to the celling. The creek
Is very high and the current Is rapid.
The water has pervaded tne cellars to
the extent of from six Inches to two
feet In several of the houses along
South Wyoming avenue and the river
bank. From up the valley the reports
are that the water Is receding and
around the North End part of the city
there has been no perceptible lowering
of the water. On the South Side the
waters are abating, if anything.
From Wilkes-d3arre the statement
comes that the water In the Susque

water mark last night, the result of the
heavy rains for the past two days.
The lower flats are inundated and the
