Taggart, who declired ill he would like very muc'a tD 1)0 a candidate, and the only thing that ftoori in tho way was the condition o: his health which had net been good recontly. Mr. Taggart arrived in Indianapolis from the r.prings and appeared to be in very cood health. He madv no announcement of any intenti'n3 to teclc tho senatorial nomination and even the lo:n friends who he visited en hi.", arrival here would not admit that Mr. Taggirt had given them anything on which to base a statement that he would be a candidate. But it has become evident that Mr. Taggart will be. urged to enter the race and that tho urge will be a powerful one. Whether or not he enters is strictly up to Mr. Taggart and he exhibited no disposition to follow Mr. Marshall's statement with one of his own.

Freda le:-str. Th testimony was given by F. W. McCumber, formerly a prisoner with Nw in the county iail. McCumber said the iefendant frequently sat at the window of his cell and gazed into space for hours at a time, motionless and never uttering a word. ThL testimony was the outptanding feature of th-- efforts of the defenso today to show New was unsound mentally. McCumber said he had notice! other things about New which caused him to believe the accused was "not right mentally." He said New frequently rolled up his trouser legs, one at a time anil studied them seemingly with much concern. ivt Cat. New made a pet of one of th jail's cats, according to the wltr.es Rut one day when he was playing with the cat McCumber told him his pet was likely to scratch him, McCumber testified, at which New became enratred and threw the animal out of the cell. Many depositions from residents of Indianapolis, New's former home, wero read to the jury by IecomjtDavis, of counsel for the defense. Col. Robert H. Tyndall. a business man of that city, formerly the commander if th:'t unit of ariilb-ry of Indiana national guard with which New served on the Mexican border in 1C'D. in u. of these depositionexpressed opinion that the accused was not normal mentally. Capt. Gavin I Payne, captain of "A" batten. Indiana national guard, expressed the same opinion. Son of Sen. New. Capt. Payne said it was assumed among the officers and men of the battery th;.t the defem'nr.t was a son of Sen. Harry S.
