NEW lOhh, august AOs
The journals have the following details
room he said, s'Oh, it is terrible, terrible p
Walking excitedly up and down the corri-
dor, he said How SO many men, with
decent faces, can keep me away from the
the only man who can save me-" referring,
apparently to Tilden. There's an honest
mar somewhere ; / know there is, but l
can't find him." said Leet, weeping. He
was put into the cell formerly occupied by
Tweed. He will neither eat nor drink any,
thing that is offered to him, unless it is in
some very public place. This is necessary,
he thinks, because only in q public place
can his enemies be prevented from poison
ing his food. Leet's brother-in-law, Lopez,
said to q Times reporter that he believed
Leet was insane during the whole of the
time he was giving his testimony before the
Potter Investigating Committee. He has
thought, talked and dreamed about moth
ing else since he first came to the city. His
physicians have no doubt that his insanity
has been brought on by the excitement at
tending his examination before the Potter
committee. When the doctors first saw
him, Leet asked that q Catholic priest
should be sent for Immediately. Are you
a Catholic ?" asked DR.. Hardy. NO." was
the reply, "but I want to make a confess
sion." Leet told a World reporter: q
was decoyed into coming North ; l was dis
appointed l thought the investigation was
designed to unseat him (; when they said it
was not for that purpose, l did not want to
come. Gibson knows that / never went
to him and offered to testify /; he sent a
man who compelled me to come" Then
he raved. Warden Finn says. unless his
friends take charge of him, he will be sent
to Blackwell's Island in q day or two.
