PLEAD INSANITY Angered Brother Killed Sister Because of Her Objection to Home Plan
Jtockville, Md., Dec. 1. After repeated delays and postponements, it
now appears certain that the trial of Richard W. Allnutt, accused of murder will be taken up in the Montgomery county district court here early next week. Numerous features in connection with the case combine to give promise of one of the most notable murder trials that has taken place in this section in many years. The crime with which Allnutt is charged is the murder of his sister, who was slain at her mother's home near Dawsonville, this county, on March 14 last. Several months before the tragedy Allnutt had married and after his marriage had boarded at the home of his brother, Lawrence Allout, at Dawsonville. Richard Allnutt was desirous of taking his wife to his mother's home to live, but there had been objection on the part of members of the family, and Allnutt went to his old home on the morning of the murder to talk the matter over. The refusal of his family to consent to the proposed arrangement is said to have angered Allnutt, who Is alleged to have grabbed the handle of a pitchfork and viciously attaked his sister, Mrs. Viers; his aged mother; and the latter' s old friend and companion, Miss Jane Rawlings. Mrs. Viers skull was crushed ajid she died a few hours after the attack. Mrs. Alnutt and Miss Rawlings recovered, though for a time their condition was critical. During the long period of his confinement In jail awaiting trial the wife and aged mother of Allnutt have been steadfast in their loyalty to him. Three noted criminal lawyers, VV. Outerbridge, Spates of Rockville, Arthur : Peter of Washington and Marshall Mccormick of Berryville, Va., have been engaged for the defense. Several eminent alienists will be put on the stand In an effort to prove that Allnutt was insane at the time he is alleged to have murdered his sister.

Parents of Lost Deaf and Dumb Boy Distracted. CANNELTOX. Ind., Dec. 1 A mysterious disappearance having in it the element of probable tragedy is the case of young Willie Doughty , the eighteen-year-old mute son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Doughty, who has been missing since 9 o'clock last Saturday morning. His departure from the bouse was unobserved. His long absence did
not alarm the family until late at night as it was believed he was with relatives in town. No trace of him, however, has been found. The boy was well educated, having been graduated from the state deaf and dumb institution at Indianapolis, and had numerous friends, some of them mutes, in neighboring cities. Telephone messages to these points failed to bring any message from the missing boy. The Doughty home is two miles from the city. It is situated among rugged hills, whose rocky sides aro seamed in many places with abandoned coal mines and air shafts. It is feared that the boy may have fallen into some unseen opening while taking a short cut to town, and, unable to utter a sound, is lying, perhaps fatally injured, if not already dead, at the bottom of some
pit. A relief party was organized to give the entire countryside a thorough search on Thanksgiving day. Several hundred volunteers trailed the woods in a search for the unfortunate youth.

(.National News Association) CARLSTODT, N. J., Dec. 1 Twenty-two persons were injured, eight of them seriously, when a passenger train on the New York & New Jersey branch of the Erie railroad, which left Jersey City at midnight, crashed into a crowded trolley car on a grade crossing here early today. The passenger train was nearing the Carlstadt station but despite its reduced speed it turned the trolley car completely over. The most seriously injured are: Thomas Bergen, of Hoboken. Charles Lynn. Charles Schlyff. Anton Waller, of Jersey City. There were fifty persons on the street car. Following an investigation by rail
road officials in which the blame for the accident was placed upon the motorman and conductor of the trolley car, each of these men were placed
