NUMBER OF LAW POINTS PRESENTED Tho I'lrst for tho Defendants Asked for Binding Instructions to the Jury. Itcnsons That Wore Advanced. Judgo Acheson Helmed to Comply Willi tho Request nnd ltulcil Tlint tho Jury .Must 1'nss Upou tho 1'ncts. The closing testimony In the Anna Dickinson case was) heard yesterday nnd today the arguments of counsel to the Jury will be listened to. After the evidence was all in tho Jaw points of plaintiff and defendant were presented to the court and Attorneys Dawson and Vosburg mado arguments to the court asking for binding Instruction to the Jury In favor of the defendants. Court refused to give such instruction and said ho would allow the Jurors to pass upon tho case. Mr. Vosburg will make the closing address to tho Jury this morning for tho plaintiff and Mr. Hodge for tho defense. There was a largo crowd in the court room yesterday morning when the ex amination in rebuttal of Miss Anna Dickinson, the plaintiff, was resumed. She mado a strong denial of the story told by Mrs. George Thompson while on the stand, to the effect that tho plaintiff was in tho habit of using in toxicants to excess nnd she also ex plained some of the stories Bhe told to Mrs. Thompson, which that lady said Ello considered gross exaggerations. Her relations with Howe & Hummell with reference to her suit against the uepuDiican national committee were gone Into extensively nnd the witness thn detailed what occurred immedi ately before she was removed to Dan ville. In February, 1801, she concluded to go to New York proliably to rer ..In permanently and on Feb. 19 she com menced to sort over her newspaper clip pings, letters and manuscripts. In do ing so she discovered that her papers had been tampered with and domnnded an explanation from Susan Dickinson, which she did not get. She then detail ed nil tho circumstances which led to the locking of her door on tho evening of Feb. 19. She found on that evening Martha, tho servant, going through her papers In her room, and for the security of her personal effects she then locket! tho door. ROOM WAS A BEDLAM. On the following day, by reason of her packing up for her Intended trip her room was a bedlam. Piles of pa pers and letters were scattered all over the lloor, and she worked on until even ing. Then she went down stairs and asked the servant to get her a lamp. Tho servant refused and ran out of the house. The plaintiff followed her and said "Come back, you fool." She explained her alleged assault on Susan by saying that she merely used sulllclent force to keep her out of her room. Between 1 and 2 o'clock ono night she was going to tho bath room In her house, and met Dr. Hellman coming from the bath room. Im mediately she returned to her room, and Dr. Hellman attempted to get into the room before her, but failed. He thrust his foot between the door and the door frame and attempted to force his way in. She said she slammed the door against his foot and said: "Get out, you rat." When she went to Danville tho plain tiff said that she carried with.her jew elry valued at $2,000. Several telegrams written by Miss Dickinson while she was In the asylum were read by Attor ney Hodge and after a brief cross examlrntion Miss Dickinson left the stand and Mr. Hodge announced that the evidence for the plaintiff was nil In. Mrs. March and Miss Susan Dickin son wero re-called by the defense. The latter said she never tampered with or Interfered In any wny with Anna's let ters and never wrote to anyone con cerning Anna with the latter's con sent. After she left the stand court adjourned for the noon recess. CLOSING TESTIMONY. Allen Eggleston was called to show that the plaintiff was Intoxicated on one occasion when she called at his store, but Judge Acheson would not permit the testimony. Miss Susan Dickinson was recalled and said that she hnd her sister placed In Danville because she was afraid of her and from the way she acted she thought It was the very best thing to do for her. "As a matter of fact, did you not think that If your sister was In the asylum you could then raise money for her without being prevented by her?" asked Attorney Hodge. "No, sir," replied the witness. "Did you not try to raise money on her name, without her knowledge, be fore your sister was sent to the nsy lum?" "I did not do anything of the kind, notwithstanding your beautiful Insinu ating voice. I answered that matter fully this morning, and you are now trying to make me He about It." "It will be better, Miss Dickinson, if you meiely answer his question," sug gested Judge Acheson. "I will try to, your honor, but I ought to be protected from this attor ney's Insinuations." That concluded Miss Susan's exami nation, and Attorney Vosburg present ed a letter from Dr. Seward, the pro prietor of the sanitarium at Goshen, N. Y., where Miss Dickinson was Imme diately after she left Danville asylum, setting forth that owing to business engagements he was unable to come to Scranton to testify. As the doctor is outside of the state he could not bo compelled to attend. PLAINTIFF RECALLED Miss Anna Dickinson was recnlled and testllled as to a letter received by her sister from Mrs. Elizabeth Miller, daughter of Garret Smith. She said she did not know Mrs. Miller, though sho did know her father. This closed the testimony and the Iaw points of the plaintiff and defendants wero present ed to the court. Those of the plaintiff were: First If tho Jury believe under all the evldenco thut tho plaintiff was sano on the 25th day of, February, 1831, and that the de fendants with a view of having her taken to Danville asylum as an insane person, broke open tho door of tho room and for cibly took her from the same to the dopot, and from there, against her will, by some of the number she was taken to the said asylum, then tho defendants would be lia ble to pay to the plaintiff damages, the results of their unlawful acts. Second No person Is authorized to seize and place In an Insane asylum any other person without the proper medical cer tificate, unless such person is at the tlmo In danger of inflicting bodily harm upon themselves or others by reason of exist ing insanity. Third Tho measure of damages would bo tho plaintiff's loss of tlmo from her calling ns a lecturer, her loss from Inabil ity, If caused by tho acts of tho defend nnts, from securing employment In her calling, any mental and physical pain sho has suffered, and any Insult and Indignity that has been put upon her, tho results of tho defendants' acts. The law points of the defendants wero moro lengthy, and rend as follows: First Under tho law and the evidence In this case, tho verdict of tho Jury must bo for tho defendants. Second That If the Jury believe that n medical certificate valid In every wny un der tho act of assembly, with tho excep tion that ono of tho physicians making It had not practiced medicine for tho space of llvo years, was executed on tho 25th day of February, 1S91, and that the same accompanied tho plaintiff to tho asy lum; thnt upon that day tho authorities of tho asylum noticing this defect, called In a physician of over llvo years' practice In medicine, who executed a legal certi ficate on that day, then this constitutes a valid certificate under the act, and tho plaintiff cannot recover unless tho Jury find that tho defendants acted maliciously and without reasonable .or proper cause, and this, too, even though the Jury should find that tho plaintiff was sano at tho time, A VAMD CERTIFICATE. Third That tho written certlflcato of Drs. Underwood and Oglcsby offered In evldenco by tho defendants, is a valid certtllcato under tho law; and, unless the defendants corruptly, nnd without prob able causeor by motive other than tho good of tho plaintiff at tho tlmo sho was taken to tho asylum, tho Jury must find In fa vor of tho defendants oven though the plaintiff was sane at tho time. Fourth It Is not a violation of tho law of Pennsylvania to restrain an Insano per son of her liberty without oath or alterna tion. rifth-lf the Jury bellovo that on the 25th day of February, 1891, tho door of tho plaintiff was forced open and that sho was removed by the defendants to the Dnn vlllo asylum, they using no moro forco than wns necessary; that nt the tlmo the safety of herself or of her family, or of her friends, or of her neighbors required that sho should be restrained for a tlmo In said Institution or some other of like nature; and that such restraint was nec essary for her restoration or was con ducive thereto, then tho verdict of th9 Jury should be In favor of the defendants. Sixth If the Jury find that tho defend, ants acted In good faith, conscientiously behoving that tho plaintiff, Anna E. Dick inson, was deranged on February 25, 1891, nnd thnt sho required for her recovery medical treatment under restraint, and that actunted by such belief, they en tered tho room of the plaintiff nnd took her to tho Danvlllo asylum, using no moro forco than was necessary, then the plain tiff cannot recover, nnd the verdict must be in favor of the defendants?. Seventh If tho Jury believe thnt tho de fendants noted under circumstances which would havo Induced a person of ordinary reason nnd prudenco to bellevo tho plain tiff Insane nnd requiring medical treat ment In an asylum, and their only motlvo was to restore her to health and sound ness to her family, then tho plaintiff can not recover. NO EVIDENCE OF CORRUPTION. Eighth Thero Is not evldenco in this caso that tho defendants corruptly, or oy motives other thnn tho good of tho party, restrained her of hor liberty. Ninth That, there Is not sufficient ovl dence In this case to show a conspiracy among any of tho defendants to unjustly deprive tho plaintiff of her liberty. Tenth If the Jury believe that on the 2oth day of February, 1891, the defendants wero friends of tlwplnlntlff, then they cannot be held responsible In damages for their taking the plaintiff to the Danville asylum ngalnst her will, If they acted In good faith with proper motives, without unnecessary force, and had probable cause to bellevo tho plaintiff to havo been Insano at tho tlmo and this, too, even though tho plaintiff was nt tho tlmo sane. Eleventh Tho measuro of damages in this enso can bo no moro thnn the pecu niary loss nnd tho direct mental suffering of tho plaintiff, which reasonably flows from tho act of tho defendants. On the first of the defendants' law points asking for binding instructions to the Jury, Mr. Dawson made an ex haustive argument to the court. He reviewed the manner In which the plaintiff wns committed to the asylum and said that It conformed exactly to the requirements of tho acts of assem bly on the subject, and therefore thought It the duty of the court to In struct the Jury to llnd for the defend ants. He also referred at length to the other law points nnd quoted the deci sions of Pennsylvania and other courts to show that the defendants are ex onerated by the law of Pennsylvania from any responsibility ns a result of tho commitment of tho plaintiff to tho Danville asylum. Jin. OSBURG'S ARGUMENT. Mr. Vosburg also made an argu ment. Judge Acheson was In doubt as to whether the act of assembly was broad enough to permit the amendment of the certificate of commitment after the plaintiff was in the Insane asylum. He could see that such amendment could be legally made, but that It could relieve the defendants from responsi bility for the acts done under the de fective certificate, namely, the seizing of tho plaintiff and the conveying of her to the nsylum was a point ho was not entirely clear on. Mr, Vosburg's argument was made with a view to convincing the court that a correction of a certificate of committment, suc.h as was mado In tho Dickinson easo at Danville, covers tho acts that were mado prior to the correction. "I confess that I am impressed by the argument of counsel," said Judge Acheson after Mr. Vosburg had con cluded, "but I am not convinced that tho correction of the certificate even so early as the evening of Feb. 25. ab solutely protects1' the defendants from what they did prior to that. So much time has been taken In Investigating the case that In view of all tho circum stances, I believe I will send the case to the jury to ascertain Just what the truth is in this cause. Had tho point been raised earlier In tho trial and I had time to thoroughly Investigate the point raised, I might havo been more impressed by It, but as It Is I think I will let tho Jury pass upon the facts." MAY COME UP LATER. Mr. Vosburg said that the point could come up later and be argued at great er length on a motion fpr arrest of Judgment In case the verdict Is against the defendants. At 1.20 the court adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning, when tho argu ments of counsel to tho Jury will begin, Judge Acheson told them to divide tho tlmo that ho can chnrgo tho Jury and give the caso to It during the afternoon. Tho attorneys Intimated that It would te.ko at least two hours to hear the argumonts on each side. Patent Leather Dross Shoes $3.50. Fcr men. Here's whore nobblnes3 lets Its lino touch in.

Ho Promised to (lull Once Ilcforo. Pittston's police force, the newspa permen of two counties, an nnxlous lot of relatives and any number of mys tery loving citizens of the next city be low us were put Into a lively stnte of excitement last night by the following letter left on tho doorstep of tho Pitts ton Item office: Port Griffith, April 8, 1897. Whoever will find my body will notify my menus in scranton. Martin Mon aghan, of 1G0O Prlco street. Is my uncle, also Thomas Barrett, of South Scranton, is another uncle. If they won't bury mo my body can bo used by Dr. Carroll, or Hyde Park, or his brother, Dr. Michael Carroll, of Plymouth. I am tired of liv ing. Good-byo to everybody. John Monaghan. Despite tho fact that he was letting the opposition In on a copper-riveted scoop. City Editor Morris, of the Item, notified the police and sent word to the relatives In this city, telephoning tho grim message to Dr. Carroll, of Jackson street, and having him In turn notify the llfe-wenrled letter-writer's uncle, Martin Monaghan, of 1609 Price street, and Thomas Barrett, of the South Side. INQUIRIES FRUITLESS. Inquiries wero then set afoot for Dr. Carroll's legacy. Port Griffith people knew nothing of any such Individual ns John Monaghan. No one In Plttston could be found who had any knowledge of him. His rclntivcs In this city knew that there was such a member of their family, but none of them had heard anything from him In over a year, and It was news to them that he was In Plttston. No gory corpse had been found lying around anywhere, and at midnight the mystery was still un solved. Menaghhn lived in this city about sis years ago and was employed ns a driver by Dr. Carroll. He worked for him about a year and then left to go to Archbald whero ho worked in tho mines. Ho also lived at Ashley for a tlmo and It Is supposed at many other places hereabouts ns lib was of a roving dis position and never remained in any one place for any great time. Since leaving this city, sis years ngc, It Is said that he made thrfo trips to Ire land. He was about 27 years of age and unmarried. ADVICE FROM THE DOCTOR. About a year ago. Dr. Carroll receiv ed a visit from Monaghan and was then told by his ex-hostler that he Intended to commit rulcldo and make tho doctor a present of his body. The doctor told him ho didn't want his body and advised him to keep it himself. Whether or not Moi.aghau has taken the advice will probably be determined in a day or so. FUNERAL OF MRS. THOMPSON.
