again arrested and sent to the insane asylum
on Wards island. About year ago he es-

tLveS.
Last Friday Mr.. Astor called at the Jeffer-
son Market Police Court and asked for war
rant for Busch'S arrest, stating that the man
had renewed bis obnoxious attentions; that
he logged his daughters footsteps, loitered
about the church which she attended, haunted
the sidewalk day and night in front Of his
residence on Fifth Avenue, and wrote the
young lady scores Of anonymous notes.
Early this morning Busch was arrested as
he was sitting on Mr.. AstOr's doorstep. He
was asked what he was doing there, and he
answered: Talking with the air" Busch
was summoned this afternoon before the court
to answer the charges against him. He is a
man Of medium height, slightly inclined to

which, like his hair, was somewhat thin and
and we'll sprinkled with gray. His eyes were
deep blue. His face was common and frank
one, not handsome or otherwise noticeable.
He wore dark suit, of better than ordinary
quality, and silk hat that was beginning to
be shabby.
He talked in good English, with q slight
German accent, and said. II have long tried
to make the acquaintance of Mr.. AstOrS
daughter-I an not sure about her name
but never have been able to do SO. -Four years
ago this month | was passing Mr.. AstOrs
house at twilight. Miss AstOr sat Mt the
window, and our eyes met, and as could not
have an opportunity for personal meeting
there was q fascination TO me in lingering
about tho house, and In seeing her rs she
came in and out Of the house. About three
years ago Mr.. Astor complained OF me
and | was sent to Wards island for year,
but | was satisfied that the young lady

from her. Last February | followed her
to church. As she was going home !

her, AMI thought she returned my salutn-
ton. Shortly after this, last Easter, ] again
followed her to church It was the Church Of

her AS sat behind her did not rise on one
occasion when all the rest OF the congregation
arose She noticed this, and mOtiOned to me
again. Then | rose with the rest. ] have
written short notes to her. not, however, I'D
dressed to her by name nor signed with my
name. I dropped them in Mr.. AstOrs yard. |
left out all names because dlun know VINO

In answer to other formal questions Busch
said he kept books for his brother Edward,
manufacturer Of chemical thermometers at
Nos 60 and 60 Chatham street, and that he
was musician and n teacher on the piano.
