(From Friday's Daily.)
Emmons was adjudged a person of unsound mind in Squire Smart's court at Manilla, on the 4th inst. Doctors Barnam and E. D. Jewett were the examining physicians. Five years ago Emmons lost a leg as the result of a fall under a train. He then began to use morphine to ease the pain and he finally became a morphine fiend, taking as much as 12 grains per dose. He labors under no particular hallucination, but is inclined to be morose and uncommunicative.
