MISS HOWELL'S
SIDE OP CASE
WILL BE PRESENTED TO
JURORS TODAY.
THE
Closing Evidence on the Part of the
Petitioners Was Offered Yesterday
And Mr. Newcomb Opened the
Case for Miss Howell He Said
They Would Prove That She Is of
Sound Mind nnd That Her Brother
Is Prompted by Mercennry Mo
tlvos in the Proceedings.
There was another hearing yester
day In tho preceding" brought by
Franklin Howell with n view to hav
ing his sister. Miss Jennie Howell de
clared Insane. Miss Howell was pres
ent, and beside her snt K. 15. Dean, tho
man she proposes to marry. Hho was
represented by Attorneys K. O. New
comb and C. lialonttnc and Mr. Howell
by Attorney James 11. Torrey.
The hearing was held In the arbi
tration room before Commissioner C.
It. Pitcher und the following jurors:
Hon. John K. Roche, P. W. Roberta,
Samuel Hllckens, James Merrill, John
J. Loftus and Frederick Fuller.
Miss Mary Hooker, of Philadelphia,
a professional nurse, was the llrst
ness. She attended Miss Howell In
thu spilng of lSi? at Hotel Walton,
that city. She said thnt later the
went to Atlantic City, where sho was
also iho attendant upon Miss Howsll
at Brighton Hotel. Or. DeCostni was
the physician who had chaige of Miss
Howell's case, and kIio was sent to
her as nuisn by the doctor. Miss
Howell had a nervous ailment, Buf
feting1 much from prostration, nnd ap
peared much emaciated In the four
weeks she was her attendant. Ml.w
Howell was quite, nervous and when
alone talked to herself u great deal.
On many occasions medicine offered
her was rejected. Miss Booker said
Miss Howell hud a very poor memory.
At that time tho patient was unable
to manage her own affairs. T)r. Tin
Costa told her. Miss Booker J-ald, that
.Miss Howell should tecelve rest treat
ment, else she would hnve to be sent
to a sanltailum, wheie she would be
subjected to regularity and discipline.
Unless this was done, her case was
hopeless. On cross examination she
said that Franklin Howell stated to
her this niotnlng that ho wished his
sister to be saved marrying, and had
consequently brought tne proceedings
to have her declaied n lunatic.
BOWLING'S? STORY.
Thomas Dowllng was then u.ille.l.
He was formerly employed by Mlsj
Howell as chore boy, and was given
woik about the barn to do. Ho was
discharged from her employ Jan. 19
last. He testified that Miss Howell
drovo out about two or three times
a day. Often times she would talk
incoherently to herself. Other times
she would have him drive her to a
store, and then it-fuse to enter, but
on the return home she would order
tho driver to again s back to the
same store. Mr. Bowling said Mini
Howell was easily led. ns ladles In
her company could get her to buy
tickets for operas anil other enlei
tainmenls. On cross examination, Dowllng was
asked if he Old not offer Frank Itai
; ,icu jt.000 It he would get H. B. Bean.
to whom Miss Howell Is engaged to
be married, out In company with
lewd women, where the matter would
attract attention, and if ho did not
way that he would get the $1,(00 from
Miss Howell's telatlves for Itnrrlck.
Dowllng admitted that he nslted
Rarrick to get Dean out with dis
reputable women, but did not say any
thing about getting $1,000 from Miss
Howell's relatives for doing so. He
said that he hud heard Rnrrlck say
that Dean frequented houses of 111
lepute, and It occurred to him that it
would b, n good thing to show him
up. No one suggested the plan to him.
It was his own creation.
Miss Sue Stevens, who has been MIsm
Howell's maid for a number of years,
said that Miss Howell was irrltnhlu
and impatient when not feeling well,
but thnt sho wns fond of music, card
playing, the theater, driving and trav
el. She did not read much, because
her eyes were not good, but witness
rend to her a good deal and they
discussed the books. Miss Howell's
comments were thoughtful and Intel
ligent. One book witness read to her
was "The Clnlftlan," and when the
play was presented here recently she
formed n party to go and see It nnd
during the play pointed out where
parts of the book had been omitted
in making the, stage vendon.
HOWELL SIGNED CHECKS.
Tho witness said that Franklin How
ell signed all the checks for his sister
until about a year ago, when they had
a disagreement about his failure to
Invest some of her money as sho told
him to. She gave him permission to
sell some stock sho had In the Scran
ton Savings bank with tho understand
ing that It was to be invested In gov
ernment bonds. Instead ho Invested it
in a coal deal and lost tho money. Miss
now en salt! slie would rather see
Franklin dead than have him do what
he did. When tho proceedings were
brought against her sho said she
wished slut had died before such a
thing enmo to pass. On cross-exnmln-ntlon

mat tors. This wns Introduced for tho
purpose of showing her mental capa
city. Superintendent of Schools George
Howell, who Is Miss Howell's next
friend, was called and testified to the
value of Miss Howell's property and
Franklin Howell was then sworn. Ho
Identified a letter from Dr. Be Costa to
him, which said that MIbh Howell
should be placed In a sanitarium If
anything Is to bo accomplijhed for her
good, nnd another teller written by
his sister to him In which she said she
would prefer to see him dead rath
er than have done what he did with
reference to n business matter bitwecn
them. i
Mr. Newcomb then 'dc9lred to cross
examine Mr. Howell generally about
the case, but this course was objected
to and the objection sustained. With
this testimony the petitioner rested
and Mr. Newcomb asked that the pro
ceeding be dismissed for tho reason
thnt there was no evidence adduced to
show that Miss Howell wan of unsound
mind or was squandering her estate.
This request was refund and Mr.
Newcomb then opened the case for
Miss Howell. He nrralgned her broth
er savetely, saying he had not only
made n bankrupt of himself, but had
wasted thousands of dollars of his sis
ter's money because she had confided
to him In a great extent because lie
was her brother.
TO CALL SPECIALISTS.
'Plicy would show by some of the
most eminent specialists in thu conn
tiy. he said, that MUs Howell Is not
iii3ane and that they would also show
that Franklin ItowMl's Interest In
bringing the proceedings was entirely
mercenary. He saw In the marriage
of his sister the cutting off of hl
menus of subslstance.
