HEWITT APPARENTLY INSANE.

NOT A SUFFRAGIST

THE SCENE ON THE COURSE

(Received June 21, 1 a.m.). London, June 20.

■- Tho police are satisfied that Hewitt was insane, and that he was not connected with tho suffragettes. His diary shows that he had an antipathy to races, as showing all that was worst in humanity. Hewitt walked on Ix> the course so collectedly that the onlookers did not suspect mischief. The horses were already close before Hewitt raised the suffragette flag in his left hand. As Tracers approached, Hewitt dashed forward and threw both arms in the air. Ho stood immediately m the path and was struck full in the chest by Tracery's head, and flung with crreat violencp to the ground. Ho made no attempt to use tho revolver, which foil or was thrown fr,om Hewitt's hand against tho fence. It was fully loaded, the police emptying tho chambers on the turf. Whalley tumod a somersault. His escape from grievous injury was wonderful. The spot where Hewitt lay was marked by a pool of blood, which had soaked tho heavy grass and drained into the hard ground. His loss of blood was terrible.
