INSANITY THE PLEA
Defense Has Inning in DePal
cb Murder Trial.
WITNESS SAYS HE ACTED SILLY
Prisoner Seems Indifferent to Testi
mony Introdnced on His Behalf
"Wliicn Tended to Prove HI
Mental Degeneracy.
Attorneys for the defense endeavored
to demonstrate to the Jury that Fran
cesco Ie Falco was- Insane -when he
killed his wife. They showed by Insanity
experts that .the roan was a degenerate;:
they proved by his daughter that he was
accustomed to "act lag silly" and quar
reled with' her mother frequently: they
Introduced evidence " to show that De
Falco was a heavy drinker, accustomed
to do away with a gallon or more of
liquor at a sitting, and" tried to convince
the court that Jie was a .degenerate.
The "brutal .look" of the prisoner fig
ured In the testimony, and he wis de
clared to be In a condition of semi-coma,
John Slartello; -an Italian grocer, insist
ed that De Falco talked' too much and
acted "crazy-like" and NIcolal Casclati,
who accommodated De Falco in the mat
ter of wines. Insisted he behaved like a
demented person. Casclati created a di
version by explaining he was a friend of
De Falco, but .he told the District At
torney that he "did not care"what the
state did with him."
Dr. "W. O. Manlon, an Eastern Insanity
expert, declared De Falco was a man of
a low order of intelligence and held that
he had nev.er been a perfect man men
tally. "The lower brute nature predomi
nates," Dr. Manlon explained. Dr. Manl
on distinguished between an Intellectual
and an organic consciousness of the ac
tion of De Falco when he killed his wife,
holding that a person of De Falco's
character would not be responsible for his
deed. In defining alcoholic insanity. Dr.
Manlon testified:
""The commission of crime without a
motive is one of the predominant features
of alcoholic insanity. Jealousy -without
cause Is one of the peculiarities of al
coholic Insanity; also an Irritable temper,
not so much quarrelsome, but to take of
fense at things an ordinary man would
pay no attention to. Alcoholic insanity is
both homicidal and suicidal."
In answer to two final questions by Mr.
DItchburn. he said that De Falco is now
insane and judging from the evidence he
had heard, was doubuess insane when
he killed his wife.
Dr. Manlon was called by the defense
as a man who had been connected with
an Eastern insane asylum Cor eight years
and had been for four years In charge of
Insane convicts in Illinois. He examined
De Falco three' times" and testified from
the knowledge gained by such examina
tion and the statement of facts made to
him.
The fact that De Falco had twice suf
fered from delirium tremens was brought
out by the defense. In connection with
his drinking, Pasqua De Fales, the pris
oner's daughter testified her father was
brutal, became angry quickly and was de
termined to prevail. She said he "acted
silly." He -would abuse his wife and
daughter, then pet them, and the next
moment would become angry again. Af
terwards he would cry and say he couldn't
control himself. He drank more recently
and once a month became so bad ho
could not see. On New Year's and the
day following, he was so drunk he could
not talk. A fellow workman struck him
on the head with the sharp edge of a
shovel three years ago and she noticed a
change after that. He gradually got
worse. The witness said one of the
neighbors remarked, that her father was
insane, and the children sometimes called
him "Crazy Frank."
Dr. Candlanl testified to having treated
Do Falco twice for delirium tremens, the
last time the beginning of December,
1902. He treated the wound caused by the
blow with the shovel. It was a scalp
wound, and he put three stitches in It.
The witness said he never considered 3e
Falco very bright, he was more of an
idiot than anything else and he told Mrs.
De Falco if her husband did not stop
drinking he would become crazy. The
doctor said alcoholic poison caused con
gestion and the permanent effect was
to cause loss of memory, paresis, soften
ing of the brain and destruction of the
nerve force.
For the prosecution witnesses -wore
called to prove the killing, and also to
testify that De FaJco admitted the cause
to have been Jealous', and" that he drank
freely, but was not crazy when the deed
was committed.
The prisoner sat throughout the day in
a listless attitude and appeared to pay
no attention to the testimony. He even
listened to the statements of his daugh
ter in his behalf with utter indifference.
H. J. Scharner, who prevented Do Falco
from leaping off the Fourth-6treet bridge,
told of his rescue and a conversation
lie once had with the prisoner wherein the
latter showed his jealousy of an Italian
designated as "Pete." Other witnesses
showed that De Falco was Jealous of the
same man.
Albert Genelll, who acted as an Inter
preter when Do Falco was arrested told
of his first Interview with the murderer.
Genelll told of Do Falco's story that he
had once found his wife seated besidb the
fire with an Italian named Gabriel and
had declared his Jealousy, then con
tinued: "I asked him a good many questions,
and he refused to answer some of them.
He talked rationally. I asked him if his
wife had been in the habit of drinking,
and he said: 'Yes, once in a while. I
asked If there was anyone In the house
when he killed his wife. He first said:
No, and then said a man named Pete
was -there. He first said he was in the
kitchen, and then upstairs. Ho got mixed
up on that. Mr. Ferrera knocked on the
door to get in, and when I came out
Ferrera asked me -what questions were
asked De Falco. and said If he had got
Inside he would have told him to shut
tip."
The defense will continue its case to
day. EnjfiBe Cnl Afire.

ERECTING BUILDINGS.
Portland Canning Company Building
PInnt on the Southern Pacific Line.
The Portland Cannlnir Commnr h
commenced the erection of a plant at
tne old smelter works, on the Southern
Pacific Railroad, between East Eighth
and East Ninth streets. The removal of
some of the old dilapidated structures
will bo necessary, and this Is now being
done. However, the main building, 150
feet long, will be raised and moved back
from the track four feet to rive mom for
a sidetrack. On the south side of this
building the new portion of the cannery
will be built, and it will extend outward
over the slough. On the west side It
will connect with the East .Elchth-street
elevated roadway, "so that teams may
reacn tne cannery.
This location for a cannery Is consld-
AT THE DE FALCO MURDER TRIAL
ered an Ideal one, as there will be a
sidetrack on one side, providing direct
dell-ery to and from cars, and reducing
cost of cartage, or. rather, doing away
with It entirely. It is understood that
the plant wjll be a Iirge one and will
handle several hundred thousand pounds
of berries. Agents have been -securing
contracts to deliver berries to the can
nery for some time. There promises to
bo a large yield this year, but as both
East Side canneries are preparing to
handle a large output, there will prob
ably be no surplus. The Portland Can
ning Company formerly occupied the
two-story building on Grand avenue and
East Taylor street.

NEW YORK, March 20. At a banquet
given by four lodges of the Society B'rith
to Dr. Frledrich Mueller. Dr. Singer, re
plying to the toast, "The.. President,"
said the Jews had more motive than the
ordinary American patriotism for doing
homage to the President. He continued:
"It was Roosevelt who inspired the Rou
manian note of Secretary Hay of August
11, 1S02, a political and historic act the
ultimate effects of wrHich upon the ame
lioration of the condition of the Jews in
Western Europe can not be fully realized
at the present time." Dr. Mueller spoke
briefly, calling America a nation of ideal
ists, not materialists, because of their
magnificent philanthropic institutions.

'VIEWED the route
State Board on. Line of The
- Dalles-Portage Road.
AN INFORMAL EXAMINATION
Representative People, Went Along
and Gave Information and Looked
at the Scenery Estimates of
- the Cost of the Enterprise.
Governor Chamberlain. Secretary of
State Dunbar and "State Treasurer C.
S. Moore yesterday made an Informal
Inspection of the route for the proposed
state porta 2 e railroad from a point
above Celllo Falls to the Big Eddy, five
miles above the City of The .Dalles.
This would make the road 8Vi miles
long-. No official action can be taken,
however, before May 21, when the law
will become effective, unless there shall
be a referendum.
As was announced, the state , board
which Is to have charge of the portage
railway at the dalles of the Columbia
went up Thursday night to make a pre
liminary examination of the ground. Aft
er the train had pulled out, a passenger
who wanted to see the members of the
board went back Into the standard sleeper
to look for them. They were not to be
found there, and the man appealed to the
conductor.
"Oh. yes, they're aboard," he replied,
"but they're 'way up front in the chair
car." And there they were found. Secretary of
State Dunbar and Treasurer Moore were
In the smoking-room with their cigars and
a drummer from Louisville, who was en
tertaining them with stories. It is neces
sary to say he was entertaining them
with stories. In order to avoid possible'
reflection upon the record of decorous
temperance men. for everybody knows
what kind of drummers go out from
Louisville. Away In the opposite end of
the car was Governor Chamberlain.
There was neither cigar nor grinning
joker for him. but by his side sat Sam
White, chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee, and he was weaving
for the Governor the most wondrous fairy
tales of political rainbows springing
from pots of ballots just out of sight over
the hill, of a Prince Charming, who was
to win a Congressional bride In the First
District on a fair June day; of a certain
Occidental potentate whose wisdom and
benevolence should make him so beloved
by his people that they would give him
at least . a second term. Sam's voice
melted Into the Governor's ear and-comforted
him very greatly. Peace at that
,end of the car was so solemn and sacred
that nobody dared Invade It until an un
holy newspaper man came along.
"Ah. ha!" exclaimed the state chair
man, breaking from his rhapsody with
true Democratic agility. "Ah, ha! !
thought you said we would have a Gov
ernor who couldn't say 'No.' You find
It's different, don't, you? He has put
some very effective 'noes' where they will
do the most good to the people. And he's
got more of 'em, too. I tell you, the
Democrats will redeem the country."
It was plain that the state board had
divided on political lines, on Issues as
opposite as the two ends of the car. But
on arrival at The Dalles the names of the
three state officials were juxtaposed on the
register of the Umatilla House In the
most neighborly manner possible, and all
reposed under the same roof after their
nightcaps had been properly adjusted. It
Is a decent and happy family. If it does
represent contrary political faiths.
Yesterday morning a special train, con
sisting of a locomotive and a caboose,
provided by the Joint courtesy of the cit
izens of The Dalles and the O. R. & N.
Co., was drawn up In front of the hotel
and placed at the disposal of the state
board, the newspaper men and such oth
ers as cared to view the route of the pro
posed state portage railway, and could
crowd on the train, from footboard to
roof. The train ran up to Seufert's, and
there took on T. J. Seufert, who gave
much valuable Information concerning
the route. Among the others present
were the following:
Ex-Governor Z. F. Moody. Mayor F.
Gunning, County Judge George C. Blake
ly, Sheriff F. C. Sexton. Councilman J. T.
Peters, ex-Representative N. Whealdon,
Dr. William Shackelford. W. H. H. Du
fur, E. O. McCoy. James Falk. F. W.
Wilson, Frank French and G. J. Farley.
At Celllo the special stopped and every
body got off and walked along the .track
and looked at the wet water and the
pebbly beach and the stretch of Inter
vening white sand. The river was at low
stage, so the character of the shores
could be seen. Above Celllo the slope Is
gentle and the soil not. too shifty. Below
the falls abrupt basalt walls reach up
from the water many feet, leaving barely
room enough for the present O. R. & N.
track. There engineering skill will be re
quired to provide a resting place for the
state portage. Then rocks and sand alter
nate all the way down to the Big Eddy,
which will be the Western terminus of the
road. That Is five miles above the City of
The Dalles. At two or three places the
train stopped, and the people got off and
looked around. The members of the state
board were in the cupola most of the
time, and had an unobstructed view of
the route as the train passed along.
At 11:30 o'clock the special returned to.
The Dalles, having taken two hours for
the trip.
G. J. Farley, who built and put In oper
ation the state portage road at the Cas
cades before-' the opening of the canal
there, and who has placed his services at
the disposal of the state in connection
with the present project, gave the board
the benefit of his estimates. He Is of the
opinion that the 8U miles of main line and
two miles of siding can be built and put
In operation with the state appropriation
of $165,000. He thinks one locomotive and
18 freight cars will be sufficient rolling
stock. Mr. Farley's figures were yet In
the rough, so he gave himself $5000 of
latitude, placing his estimate at 5160.000
to $165,000.
There was a general understanding that
the O. R. & N. Co. -was preparing to
change Its track In several places along
this route, and It was generally assumed
that correction of the O. R. & N. curv
ature would leave more room for the por
tage road at Important points. At other
points It seemed necessary that the O. R.
& N. should agree with" the state author
ities upon an equitable division of the
space available for tracks, or that the
state would be obliged to exercise the
right given In the- statute to condemn
present railroad property. It Is pre
Both
Earning Money
sumed, however, that this matter will be
amicably adjusted.
Mr. Farley's estimates do not contem
plate warehouses or wharfboats at either
end of the route. He says they are not
necessary. And then there Is no money;
for them.
Governor Chamberlain. -Secretary of
State Dunbar and Treasurer Moore re
turned to Portland on the train, arriving
at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. Mr. Farley
accompanying them. The members of the
board said the purpose of the trip was to
get In mind the general situation, the lay,
of the land, etc., so as to be able to han
dle the matter intelligently when It
should come up for consideration. The
law authorizing the construction of the
portage railroad will not go Into effect
until May 21, so no official action under
It can be taken before that time. In any,
event, before the portage railway can be
made of service the Government will be
required to spend something: like $30,000
In blowing out a point of rocks that in
terferes with the navigation of the chan
nel out of the Big Eddy. That Is In
cluded In the Hart project for improve
ment at the dalles, and there Is no doubt
that It will be done before the portage
road could possibly be put In operation.
It Is said that construction of the ' road
would take at least six months.

The statement of a Portland citizen.
G. H. Springmeyer, expressman, resid
ing at 1016 First street, says: "Exposure
to rough weather and the constant Jarring
of the wagon while I was riding brought
on kidney trouble. My back ached almost
constantly, and the muscles controlling
the bladder appeared weak, and their ac
tion far too frequent. Doan's Kidney
Pills came to my notice and I got a box
at the Laue-Dayls Drug Co.'s store, cor
ner of Yamhill and Third streets. The
pain In my back was relieved, and the
kidney secretions became normal. Two
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills brought
about this result, and It is with pleasure
that I recommend this effective prepara
tion to others."

The prosress in the study of chrome
contracted disorders during the last
years has completely modified the
treatment of these very frequent dis

features universally known. More than
five years ago we described the method
of dilatation which we have always since
employed, and which has been gradu
ally adopted by the profession. "We
have added few modifications since that
time, but the method has proven its
own worth in the hands of others, and
its results are Inccntestible. Dilata
