Hon, Miss Anna, Dickinson was In court nil
of yesterday watching with keen Inter
est the ptogress of her suit for J50.000
damages against those who were In
strumental In taking her to Danville
Insane asylum which Is on trial before
Judge Acheson In the United Stutes
circuit court. The attorneys for the de
fense stated lust evening that It will
take about two days more to get In all
of their testimony. They Intend to call
Thomas W. Harlow, usslstant district
attorney of Philadelphia, who Is ulso
attorney for the state lunacy buard
and a legal expeit with reference to in
sanity. Dr. Wetheiell, of Philadelphia,
secretary of the state board of lunacy,
will also be called to give expert testi
mony. He has been in court since Mon
day. Mrs. Stanton, the dress mnker who
made gowns for Miss Anna Dickinson
In West Plttston in lhM nnd 1891, was
the flist witness called yesterday morn
ing. . She described the visits of the
plaintiff to her house nnd the language
she used. Frequently, she said. Miss
Dickinson would use such un expres
sion as "Damn the thing" and some
times her actions were not accoidlng
to the witnesses Idea, of decency. On
the day that Allen Kggleston drove
Miss Dickinson to her house the plain
tiff laid on the iloor and kicked her
feet up against the wall pounding her
toes. While on the lloor she lay on her
stomach but did not complain of nny
pain there. Sin- said she had a pain
in her head.
THKY HEARD A SCHPAM.
Mrs. Stanton remembered one even
ing when she and her daughter, Mrs.
Marcy, were out walking, that they
had heard screams which they sup
posed came from Miss Dickinson. Judge
Acheson ruled that the latter part of
the answer be stricken out.
Witness on one occasion saw Miss
Dickinson take a large drink of whisky
without any water. The eross-exunil-natlon
was very spirited. Mrs. Stanton
contracted herself about some details
but her story in the main was un
shaken. Mrs. Marcy, daughier of the preced
ing witness, gave testimony that was
corroborative of her mother's story nnd
Conductor Haldwln who was In charge
of the train on which Miss Dickinson
was taken to the Danville asylum was
the next witness.
He saw her sitting In the last car
of the train after they left West Pltts
ton but noticed nothing particular
about her appearance with the excep
tion that her eyes were led and some
what blurred. Miss Dickinson asked
h'lm for paper and pencil, hut Dr. Hell
mun motioned his head for him not to
do so and he had passed on down the
aisle.
When the train readied Danville asy
lum It stopped to let Miss Dickinson
off. He stood In the door of 'the smok
ing car waiting for her to get off, when
she held up her hand In a threatening
attitude and said to him: "Hcmember
young man, there Is a day of reckon
ing coming for you. I want you to
send two telegrams for me, one to ex
flovernor Hobert K. Pattison and one
to Jay Gould."
TELKGHAM TO GOVERNOR.
He said that to the best of his knowl
edge the one addiesed to Mr. Pattison
read: "We must have universal suf
frage," while tho one to Jay Gould
spoke of money. While getting off the
train he did not notice any violence
used in helping Miss Dickinson.
Hrakeman Rldgeway Randall, of this
city, gave Important testimony about
the journey to Danville und Mis. Mar
tha Hrown, who before ,her marriage
was a maid in the Dickinson household,
was called. She swore that Miss Anna
was sick and about a year or two pre
vious toMrs. Dickinson's death and had
journeyed to Houesdale to be doctored.
Miss Susan accompanied her on that
occasion. The second Monday before
Miss Dickinson was taken to Danville.
when she was getting up about 4.HU a.
ii., Miss Anna called to her unci want
ed to know where her vest was, saying
that she had placed It on the balus
trade. The follow In;; Thursday Miss
Anna had sent her to Dr. Hall's six
times In one day for her bill. The
same afternoon Miss Anna chased Dr.
Hall out of the house and called him
a devil.
That evening Miss Anna went up In
the garret nnd called to her, saying',
"Martha, hi lug a lamp." She got the
lamp and was taking It upstairs when
Miss Susie took It away from her. Miss
Anna called again and asked for the
lamp, but Mrs. Hiown told her she
would not bring It, whereupon Miss
Anna chasd her out of the house and
cVnvn the street, calling after her,
'Come back here, you little devil." She
afterwnrds returned to the house.
HARRiCADED HER DOOR.
That night when she went to bed she
ban leaded her door with a collide of
large trunks, for fear of being harmed.
The Monday previous to her Incarcer
ation, Miss Anna called to she and Miss
Susan and told them to take away
some trays upon which meals had been
served. Miss Susan told witness to get
them and while she went for them Miss
Anna clutched MIsh Susan by the
throat and choked her. She ran down-
stairs and met Grant Eggleslon, who
helped Miss Susan free.
One time Miss Anna asked the wit
ness for some hiead and when It was
given her. she tore the Inside out of
the loaf und placed the crust lu the'
stove. The witness removed Miss Anna
for her wastefulness, saying that they
might see the need of it before they
.dled. Miss Dickinson answered her
with the expression: "Damn It, whut's
the odds."
Mrs. arlflltliB, of West Plttston, was
the' first witness called after the noon
recess. Bhe was In the JDIrklnson
house that day that Anna wub taken
to the Insane asylum and assisted In at
tiring her for her Journey to Danville.
She related the' conversations that took
place between Dr. Hellmnn und Dr. Un
derwood and Miss Dickinson. No un
reasonable force was used und the
skin on Miss Dickinson's wrists was
not broken nor was any blood drawn,
when an attempt was made to luke the
plaintiff down stairs she resisted with
all her strength and talked very loud.
Frequently, the witness said. Miss
Dickinson told her that she. was the
victim of a conspiracy In which her
friends and nttorneys were engaged.
She was decidedly of the opinion that
