Smith, counsel for Charlton, said that he believed the findings of his alienists would prove the accused man incapable of answering to a charge of murder in court. The defense, through its alienists, has set up the claim that Charlton is suffering from adolescent Insanity and that he cannot be held responsible for his crime. It was said today before court opened that a searching Investigation had been made of Charlton's past life to determine whether his" actions In dicated mental weakness.

It was about midnight that the men went to the place, where an eighteen foot ring had been set up In the mid die of the room. The "stage" had beep well advertised in the curb market yesterday, and as only fifty or so men could be jammed into the room outsidi of the ring, tickets were at a premium With the policeman on post strolling by the door unsuspectingly, the first bount was put on. The contestants were "Terry" McGraw, a lightweight from Baltimore, who has been seen here In preliminary bouts, and "Tom my" Nelson, a pugilist from Brook lyn. McGraw was outclassed and went down for the count In- the 4th round The brutality of the fight aroused the crowd, and all stood on their chairs yelling to throw sliver into the ring for the winner. The second fight was tamer and un satisfactory to the curb men In that It did not end with a knockout. The third and fourth were even tamer. The soml-final bout was between two heavyweights, a negro longshoreman named Marshall and a truck, driver called "Shrimp." For five rounds they slugged each other until neither could do much more than staggeij. to the centre of the ring in the slxtS round. Both of them-' were' nearly blind 'as their eyes -had swollen vt", 4bey--w.ere closed. ' , - "Go on, you, ,r Shrimp' yelled the brokers, "murder him, get him go ng, this aint Reno."

The lynching-was evi dently the result .of. a well laid plot and so quietly were the men taken from the 'deputy 'sheriffs and so smoothly was the execution carried out that the authorities today ex pressed little hope of arresting the lynchers.

Not Support the " Democratic Xominec For Governor of Ne braska. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 21 In a state ment in Which he declares that the crusade which he feels Impelled'to wage against the liquor interests of the state and nation overshadows a personal and political friendship of 20 years, William J. Bryan this even ing announced he had bolted the head of the democratic state ticket in Ne braska and would not support James G. Dahlman for governor. Mr. Bryan says he regrets that he is compelled to take the stand . lie does his first departure from politi cal regularity but says he feels It his duty to do so because of the posi tion taken by the democratic nomi nee on the liquor . question. The statement does not indicate that Mr. Bryan will support the candidate of any other party, but announces that he is a pronounced advocate' of coun ty option and the early saloon clos ing law, both of which he insists are menaced by Mr. Dahlman's candi dacy . . ' After declaring that, it would af ford him great pleasure to speak for Dahlman If he could endorse the policy for which the latter stands, "but", Mr. Bryan says. "Dahlman has chosen to make the liquor question the paramount Issue and makes his appeal on that issue." Continuing, Mr. Bryan says: "Possibly it is just as well to have the issue clearly presented, so that it may be settled this year instead of two years hence. Troublesome as the question Is now, it would be even more embarrassing If presented in 1912, when a presidential election is on hand. If Mr. Dahlman Is elected it, will be a declaration by the voters of the state against county option and against the 8 o'clock closing law. If he is defeated it will be a declara tion in favor of county option and the 8 o'clock closing law. In other words the voters now have an opportunity to decide whether the state shall go backward or forward on the liquor question. The present arguments in favor of going backward would not only contradict what I have already said on he' subject, but would em barrass me In the fight that t expect to make from the odium of being tho representative of the liquor inter ests.. ..
