"Insice" was the verdict pro- nounced by the New York Sheriff's Court in the case of Mr. John. W. O'Bannon, an immaculately dressed man with broad shoulders, stern blue eyes, and a square jaw, who during the last six weeks, while con fined'in a lunatic asylum, has added, by clever financial manipulations, £500,000 to his self-made fortune,
"estimated conservatively £3,000,000,

I invented a substitute for leather and organised the O'Bannon Corporation, whose assets at present are worth more than £1,000,000. My next enterprise was the International Rubber Company, of which I am president and general manager, and after that I organised the Maxim Munitions Company and sold £12,000,000 of gun-cotten to the Czarist Government.
"I have not had a holiday for five years I have been too busy, and here I am detained Nice a borse thief"
The millionaire exhibited a scarred knuckle to the judge and informed him that he got the scar hitting a nurse in a sanatorium because she bad given him an everdose of sleep- ing powders and then refused to allow him to take a bath.
Physicians said that Mr. O'Bannon possessed an extraordinary memory and undoubted business genius, but none the less he was insane. While in the asylum he displayed great and at- powers tempted to persuade them to per mit him to reorganise the institution and incorporate it with a capital of $300,000.
