COURT AND COUNSEL SPAR Variety of Incidents Introduced Testimony and by General Con sent Public Will Ke Denied Admission Hereafter. in The public insanity hearing of Mrs. Marcella Clark, divorced wife of A. K. Clark, ended yesterday after a day of sensational developments and testimony before County Judge Cleeton and a board of examining physicians. Dr. K. Nelson .Neulen and Dr. J. Allen Gilbert, who were allowed to sit with the board at the request of Mrs. Clark's attorneys, were told by Judge Cleeton that they were not members of the board and rould act only In an advisory capacity. Dr. Xeulen immediately left the courtroom. Dr. Gilbert remained only long enough to give his testimony. lf ietterB testified that she was coerced or that she signed the paper under duress. She was. persuaded to, sign it," Some Knowledge Withheld. "Your honor, the-testimony was that she was told that she must sign the papers or go to the asylum. Now, isn't that just the same as holding a gun to a man's head and telling him to sign a paper or have his head blown off T' "Not at all." declared the court. "As I understand the situation. Mrs. Clark had written certain letters which had been made the basis of an insanity complaint. She' was told that if she did not sign the papers the lette would be used against her at an In sanity hearing. She had the choice. She signed the papers." .Mr. McCusker then explained that he dtd not accuse the court of entering into any conspiracy. Dr. Gilbert then continued with h testimony, some of which, he said, had been learned in his professional ca parity. This information, he said would giye to the board at a private hearing. "In the first place." said Dr. Gilbert. "Mr. and Mrs. Clarke were married under circumstances where no man and woman should ever marry.. In the face of this I feel like saying that she is sane, though maybe stubborn. .She is, perhaps, impolitic, belligerent and in Judicious as to means or gaining ne ends. But she has courage, which in sane pe&ple do not have. She has been fighter from the word go. Phystclnn Gives IP Case. Dr. Gilbert said he had severed hi professional connections with Mrs. Clark when he learned that she 1 paying a great deal of money to law vers.

"Nearly all women in the movement write letters like that. I've often written to Bryan and to President Wil son myself, and I have always been considered a logical, quiet woman."

This opinion is held by Mrs. Zillah Cowan, of 5104 Fifty-second avenue Southeast, and J. I Conley, Mr. Bax myer's attorney. This belief was strengthened upon the receipt of a letter by Mrs. Cowan from Baxmyer yesterday afternon. The letter evidently had been written only a few hours before his death was dis covered. It contained the information Reports that negotiations are in prog ress between the Austro-Hungarian government and the Vatican looking toward the co-operation of the Holy See in urging a continuance of Italian neutrality are denied flatly by the Os servatore Romano.

Letter la Ontlmtstlc Inasmuch as the letter was optimistic In tone, both Mrs. Cowan and Mr. con ley are convinced that Baxmyer did not commit suicide. Mr. conley nao known him the Dast seven years. He says that Baxmyer was a-man of high character, a devout Christian ana oi noa refill and nuiet disposition. As his attorney Mr. Conley was familiar with Baxmyer's business affairs ana ne is firm in his belief that there was no cause for suicide. Mr. Baxmyer carried about $9000 in surance in old-line companies and two $7500 policies in accident insurance. Mr. Conlev points out that if the mur der theory is substantiated, the bene ficiaries will be entitled to recover double the indemnity, as Baxmyer was on the train when he met his death The accident insurance in that case would amount to $30,000.

You even accused this court, all courts. rounsel and the newspapers of this. If there is a conspiracy the public should know about It. "We have not made charges of that kind." said Mr. McCusker.

He told me to sign the papers or some thing more terrible than ever would happen. Finally I signed something, but I don't know yet what I signed.. I didn't know of the divorce until two days after I was released from custody. During all this time this man Yungeberg had been staying at my house, watching me. Even my bed room was invaded by this fellow. He would take the newspapers and cut out of them everything about my husband's divorce, and because of this I didn t know anything about it until I was released. 'One day I stepped from the house and spoke to the gardener. I told mm was being held a prisoner and couldn t communicate with anybody. Yunge berg saw Us talking and I changed the subject.

Did you accuse this court of being a conspiracy?" "No. I didn't, and I don't now. . It was A. E. Clark who put it into my mind that he could control this court's decisions. He said he could do that since the trial of a bridge case some time ago, I don't know what it was." Oh, I see." said Judge Cleeton. "That must be the time he defended this shall receive $2000.

According to the will. $100 of this was paid and the executors are directed to pay the remainder or Mauii to Mrs. Baxmyer. All his personal ef fects and $1000 were given to his neDhew. W. F.

Princess von Bueloir Is Italian. Princess von Buelow is a member of a well-known Italian family. She and her husband have been giving a series of receptions and dinners, to which Senators and Deputies, and even mem bers of the Cabinet, have been invited. To this campaign the diplomatic rep resentatives of the allies are opposing a policy radically different in its outer manifestations. They are not endeav oring to exert pressure on Italy to in duce her to change her attitude. They leave her to Judge how her interests will best be served. They do. how ever, call attention to the way in which the situation has changed since last October. The picture today, as they are constantly presenting it. i that Great Britain has 1,000,000 men on the Continent; France has organized her reserves: the Turco-German attack on Egypt evident has come to failure; the blockade against Great Britain has been of questionable success and the forcing of the Dardanelles, with the consequent occupation of Constan tinople, is proceeding satisfactorily. Constnntlnople's Fall Expected. The Messagero concludes an article concerning Italy s delay in making a decision as follows: "England. France and Russia have planned a military expedition sufficient to take Constantinople. Does the agree ment between these three powers ex clude Italy entirely or almost from the partition of the Ottoman Empire, which will be the base of a new arrangement in the Eastern Mediterranean? An old proverb says: " 'He who arrives late is sadly lodged.' This is the grave danger of Italy, whose policy lacks the prompt ness necessary for great decisions." The Corriere d' I tali a, the mouthpiece of that section of the public unfavor able to war at any cost, says that the mobilization .when ordered was in tended to defend all Italian interests. not only against Austria, but against any attempt to prevent Italy maintain ing the position to which she is en titled ln the seas surrounding her.
