PREMONITION OF THE TRAGEDY IN A DREAM

The jury at the Old Bailey on April 9. found Captain Rutherford, D.S.O., guilty, but insane.
The only thing about the verdict which seemed to surprise these in court a little says a home paper, was the rapidity with which the jury They were absent from court for exactly five minutes.

His look of mental abstraction tallied with the statement which he made before the court sat the previous day to Dr. Hyslop--the famous mind doctor, formerly head) of Bethlem Hospital-that he was. unable to realize that he was thei person concerned in the murder and the trial.
་ ་
This was part of a remarkable account which Dr. Hyslop gave of a. series of talks he had with 'Captain Rutherford since his arrest, in conse quence of which he came to the con clusion that he was of unsound mind. The reason Captain Rutherford gave him for shooting Major Setor was that Major Seton exercised a bad influence over the Rutherford children -for example, he encouraged one of the boys to contemplate shooting big game in Africa:
One of the striking features of the trial was that while Mrs. Rutherford's letters to her husband were read, and while other persons spoke of the visits which Major Seton paid to the Rutherford home at Carshalton while Captain Rutherford was in France, Mrs, Rutherford did not give evidence. Sir. R. D. Muir was there all the time, watching" on her behalf, but nei ther side called her as a witness. The Crown could not, according to law, husband, and she was not called as a ask her to give evidence against her. witness for the defence. Dr. Hyslop supplied what was perhaps the ex-

the avoidance of that sentence.
The exception was Captain Ruther ford. Whatever his feelings may have been, his face showed no sign of gladness or relief. He stood he tween the two warders, who had sat with him all through his trial, with his head alightly drooping forward and an air of melancholy on his face. He was not in khaki, but wore an old and rather faded blue lounge suit..

Captain Rutherford listened without seeming to hear, and stood looking vacantly across the court, until one of the wardess tapped his shoulder and told him to go below. He turned and went without a word or a sign quickly, as if waking from a reverie, to any of his friends in court.

"DRAMATIC TOUCH.
He described, with a sense of the dramatic tragedy of the affair, the talk he had with Captain Rutherford, in which he gradually led up to the point of Mrs. Rutherford's relation ship with Major Seton, when Captain Rutherford, so far from making any complaint against her, declared, "I have always had perfect faith in my wife."
There were other dramatic touches; in Dr. Hyslop's story told though it was in a quiet, untheatrical way. He retold Captain Rutherford's story of her, in which be killed Major Seton a dream be bad in France in Decem- (the actual shooting was on January 18), and, of the horror in which Captain Rutherford awoke..
reading of the prison doctor's
It seemed impossible, after thef report, that the jury, could come at which the prison doctor arrived to any conclusion other than that that Captain Rutherford was insane at the time; but Mr. Rigby Swift, K.C., made assurance doubly sure, and called a long string of witnesses including a V.C-who piled Pelion on Ossa, and, with their many stories about Captain Rutherford, left no shadow of doubt in the jury's mind.
