HOWELL CASE
IS DROPPED
PROSECUTION ADMITS IT COULD
NOT EXPECT A VERDICT.
Three Eminent Neurologists of Phil
adelphia Who Had Carefully Ex
amined Miss Howell Declare Posi
tively That Thete Ik Not the
Slightest Trace of Insanity In Her
and Olve It as Their Firm Opinion
That She Is Fully Capable of Managing-
Her Person and Estate.
It is now leKnlly established that
Miss Jennie. Howell Is not of impound
tnlnd, and that she Is In every way
capable of managing Herself and her
estate.
The pi or peelings instituted by Iter
brother, Franklin HoivpII, to prove her
to bo mentally unbalanced and thereby
prcvpiit her fiom rnirylnfr out an al
leged design to muiry and shutc her
quarter or n million dollar estate with
lMword U. Dean, unnic to tin abrupt
termination ycstcidny afternoon.
Tluve cok'bratofl specialists In inen
tnl ninl nervous dlsnnlpis from I'hll.i
delphin, who had cntefttlly exomlnrd
JUs Howell and nm.'.e a Ihnnmeh
study of her ease, testltled positively
and without the ullKhtest equivocation
thUi hIii? Is not only of perfectly j-nnnd
mind but woman of rutnnikably
xhnrp Intellect, and not utfuvtod with
any physical disorder whlrh tnlcht
lead to n mental unb.ilnnclnt.
This teHtlinony belnp: In, Mr. Tot toy.
attorney for Franklin Howell, an
nounced that the lelnlor did not wih
to continue the rase any further.
This decision, he said, had been ar
rived nt earlier In the day, but he be
lieved It only full- to Miss Howell to
nllovv the ease to piocecd until she had
had full opportunity of presenting
what testimony she might have jrath
"reil to rebut the evidence of the tt
latof and establish us .best she could
tho contention of tho defense thut sho
Is not of unsound mind.
WOn.l) NOT ARK IT.
The testimony of the l espomlent's.
experts, coupled with Miss Howell's
own testimony, was such as to make it
unwarrantable on the part of the te
lator to ask a jury to accept the views
of the rclutor'H witnesses and declare
Miss Howell Insane. The tact that the
testimony of the respondent's oxhits
was based on examinations made sub
sequent to the obseivntlons of the re
lator's witnesses, mndo It Impractic
able to ask the Jury to accept tho lat
ter. The Jury would likely feel con
strained to sny that, with alt due def
erence to the witnesses for the relator,
Miss Howell Is now of perfectly sound
mind.
As an ovldenee that Sliss Howell's
own testimony and her memory on the
stand had much to do with the deel.
Ion to drop the ptoceedlngs was evi
denced by tin.' foot that the witnesses
who followed her, the three experts,
were not cross-examined by Mr. Tor
tey. The announcement of the withdrawal
of the proceedings caused o. deep
silence for n few moments to yettlo
over the court room, and then came
a general advance by Miss Howell's
friends to the table at which she sat
with her hand testing on Dean's knee,
her back leaning against his arm,
which was stretched along the top of
her chair on which she reclined. She
received u gentle caress from her
flnnee, and then lislnir sliooi; hands
with her fi lends uud klssi I ill the
women folks, while teats tolled down
her cheeks. Her brother hud taken his
hat and left the court mom the mo
nient Mr. Torrey finished speaking.
A MANIA COUItSK.
Former District Attorney (leoige D.
Graham, of Philadelphia, who was
consulting counsel In the case and who
came up yesterday to conduct tho ex
amination of the experts, held a mo
ment'fl conversation with his col
leagues, K. U. Newcomb and Clarence
Balentlno, and then In sincere and
feeling tones acknowledged the action
of Mr. Torrey ns being n most manly
one, adding: "It Is only in keeping
with what we know of him In Phila
delphia." "Wo want a verdict," he went on to
say, "that will completely exonerate
Mlfcs Howell fj-om this terrible allega
tion that she Is crazy. We want this
cloud lifted from her life lifted so
high that not the shadow of a vestlgo
of It shall remain. The testimony has
established her sanity, and what Is
ulfco a matter of great gratification,
that her physical ailment has ceased
its recurrence and that the words of
the dead Dl Costa, 'You will bo ulti
mately cured,' will come true. It Is
marvelous how btavely and how with
out any Ill-effects she has stood the
ordeal of this trial."
Examiner Charles It. Pitcher and tho
jurors, John J. Loftus, Hon. John E.
Itoche, 'James Merrill, Alderman Fred
Fuller, Michael ttllckeus and ex-County
Coinrnlsrioucr Samuel W. Roberts
signed n verdict that Miss Howell Is
now and always bus heeu of perfectly
sound mind, and that sho is in every
way capable to manage her pot ton
and estate.
AVAri NO DOUBT.
Thete was no doubt as to what tha
verdict would be after the testimony
of tho Philadelphia experts, Dr. Whar
ton Hlnklcr, Dr. Thomas O. Norton and
Dr. John D. Chapln, was heard.
Dr. Slnkler stated. In response to At
torney Otalmm's questions, that ho
was a graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania, class of HGS, Is now a
specialist In ueivous and mental dis
eases, and holds olllclal positions In
tin eo of tho latgest Institutions in and
about Philadelphia, where these dis
eases aro specially heated, Including
the Colony Faint for Epileptics at
Chester. Ho Is also tho author of two
text books on neurology.
Ho examined Miss Howell on four
dltfeiont o fusions, th-j first time be
ing Jan. 2!), of this year, at his office,
in Philadelphia. TliU-. wits i-oon after
the proceedings weie instituted, but
In had no knowledge of them nnd was
not Informed until after he had com
pleted his examinations of the particu
lar put peso his patient had In con
sulting him.
He found her to bu of absolutely
sound mind, good memory nnd more
than average intelligence. Everything
developed by hli examination war
ranted him In saying sho was fully
capable ot taking care of herself and
her estate.
Thete ore only two forms of cotj,
ho went on to say, which have a con
tinuing tendency to Insanity. Chorea
Insanlens causes Insanity and In a
very Bitot I tlmo results In death. Hun
1 tlngdon's choi-ea tuns n definite nnd
i absolutely constant course from bad
to wot Be and cnuscs insanity. It If,
however, never contnintcd before the
thirtieth year. No other fottn of 'chotca
has tiny tendency to Insanity. Thete
Is no symptom of corra Insanlens or
Huntingdon's chotea In Miss Howell,
and Just nt pt event sho b not ttflllcled
with nny form of cltotcu.
DR. MOltTON'S TESTIMONY.
Dr. Morton testified that ho grad
uated from tho University of Penn
sylvania In ISf.O and sines 1S37 has
len connected with tho Pennsylvania
hospltnl In Philadelphia. He Is also
a consulting physician lit Wills' Eye
hospltnl: for thirteen yeuis was medi
cal member of the istate board nt
charities, and for cloven years chair
mutt of lis committee on lunacy. Dur
ing his connection with the stale board
It was his duty to visit all the In
sane asylums In the .slate and lie
thereby came In contact with from
seven to nine thousand lunatics an
nually. Ho Is atso frequently called
In by the Philadelphia minis nt an
expert on Insanity.
Or. Mot ton went on to say he ex
amined Miss Howell Jan. l'! lat, and
on two subsequent occasions and had
familiarized himself with tho pending
case by reading over (hi testimony,
"I have been ttn.lbl"." ho declined,
"to find nny evidence of Insanity In
Ml Howell. On the contiury, she I
quite tematknble for .uuiPitess of In
tellect, and possesses a rather gtvater
average of business eaputity than tlio
women 1 nm uncustomed to meet,'
Di. Clinpln, In tetlltp- of his quail
tlcntlonp as an exvert. idaled that
he graduated ft out the .lenVi'iou M-dl-cal
college In IS"S nnd hit" ever since
been connected with hopltnls for th
Insane, being at ptesent In chaute of
the Pennsylvania Ho.-ipll.il for the In
sane, In Philadelphia, en ItWItutlon
with VjO patients.
MADE A STUDY OF CASK
He made a study of the case of Miss
Howell when she presented herself at
the hospital Jan. '2' last, and has seen
her several times since. He believes
she Is perfectly sound In mind, nnd
presents tint the slightest symptom o
Insanity. He gave it as Ills Mint opin
ion that she Is fully competent to cuio
for herself and her propetty.
MIsh Howell was on tho stand nt
the opening of th nfternoon session
d r over an hour nnd did not seem to
be the least wearied or Wjinel by
the otdeal. tier ool manner, qtiicl. t'J
spouses and general display of vigorous
intellect would havo won th'i case for
her, very likely, even without the testi
mony of tho pliyslelans.
She went over In detail her deallngi
with her brother and, then, coming
down to the events of the early part
of tho present vcar, said she did not
know why har relations Willi Mr. Daun
should have entered Into the pte.sent
proceedings. She knew that an allega
tion had been made that she propose'
to turn over half her property to Mr,
Dean, but such a thing was never con
sidered by lir. She denied that she
went to consult Jtid.'re Edwards about
this matter. She visited J'tdg.i Ed
wards and dtiiiitf their coavsutlon
tho Judge asked her If It was true she
Intended to marry Mr. Dunn and make
htm hnlf-sharer In her propetty. She
told the Judge there was nothing In
the report.
Mr. Dean cunie back here Jan. .s. she
went on to say. Her brother was pre
paring to bring these proceedings, and
us soon as she heard of It she deter
mined to give Mr. Dean power of at
torney to look after her property. Sha
and Mr. Dean went to Attorney Price's
olllee and she told Mr, Pi ice what she
wanted. Mr. Price drew up thn form
conferring power of uttorii'y and she
went over it carefully and amended
It by striking out the clauses con
ferring power to tinnsfer stock, make
notes and draw checks. This left only
sin h power as would be required to
look after the collection of rents, roy
alties and the like.
NOT TO HE USED.
It was undet stood between liei and
Mr. Dean that the paper was not to
be used until after they were married.
Tho paper was never delivered to Mr.
Dean. She kept It In her desk until
about two weeks ago and then toie :t
up. "I didn't ses nny use in keeping
It, so I tore It up," Miss Howell ex
plained. They had expected to be mar
ried tho following week.
"Did the power of attorney confer
tlu right lo transfer stocks?" Mr, Tor
rey asked on ciops-examlnation.
"No," Miss Howell answered.
"Do you know of Dean having at
tempted to exerclso the power of at
torney to transfer stocks the day after
the power of attorney paper was drawn
up?"
"I do not know of Ills having done
this, and do. not believe that he tlld
It," declared Miss Howell In emphatliv
deliberate tones.
At the morning session the tespou
dent put In the testimony of Dr. w.
G. Fulton. Dr. lteed Burns, Dr. Mid
wig Wehlatl and Dr. S. P. Txmgstieet,
alt of whom floriated positively that
there was no Indication of Insanity In
Miss Howell.
Franklin Howell was called for fur
ther cross-examination by Mr. Torrey,
and upon taking the stand told that
his sister was wont to come to his
room In the morning and sny: "I
hope you'll come homo In an Ice box,"
and "Why don't you gel a revolver
and shoot youtself."
Mo further sold that IiIh concepiinu
of his sister's Insanity was partly
founded on her contemplated marriage.

A LITERARY COMPETITION
NECESSARY IN ORDER TO WIN.
III view of the fact that coiiMriurul-k- time h;i elapsed since
there has been any public competition through tlic local prws
for the purpose of .stiinulatinp the literary ability latent among
the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania, The Tribune has de
cided to offer a series of prizes as a stimulus in this direction.
It is desirous of securing for ipse in its columns a number of
short stories treating of local themes. In order lo furm-di an
incentive it proposes to pa
$.'." for the best story of not to exceed ''..IHMI words in length;
$10 fur the second best story, and
$." for the third best story.
Manuscripts not successful in seeming one of these prize
will be published and duly credited if the authors so desire.
Stories tending to bring out the romance and legendary
lore of the anthracite mining industry will have preference. In
connection with every mine in the valley there is a mass of tra
dition, including hair-breadth escape-, narratives of spooky hap
penings and other details bordering on the weird or supernatural
which has never been gathered together in literary form. This
opens a field which is practically inexhaustible and which should
supply the material for some exceedingly interesting fiction.
The task of passing upon the merits of the manuscripts sub
mitted will be assigned to a disinterested judge, whose name
will soon be announced, and who will read the manuscripts but
have no knowledge of the identity of the authors. The envelopes
containing the real names of the authors will be preserved un
opened until after the awards have been made.
Should this initial competition prove encouraging, it iiia
be followed by other prize offers of similar lenor.
CONDITIONS OK THE CONTEST.
11 manuscripts must be submitted not later than March '!.
All manuscripts must be signed by n fictitious name and ac
companied by a scaled envelope containing the fictitious name
and also the writer's real name and post office address.
The scene of each story must be laid in Northeastern Penn
sylvania, but the names of real persons must not be used.
One further condition must be understood. Contributions
intended for this contest will be accepted only from present sub
scribers to The Tribune or from those who may, during the con
test, bqcome subscribers by payment of at leat one month's sub
scription in advance.
