ANOTHER INSPIRED CRANK.

pic-lIe Goes 10 ~. Elizabeth.

A shabbily-dressed man, apparently
not over forty years OF uge, about five feet nine
incheshigh, and wearing moustache and goatee,
walked into Police Headquarters yesterday after
noon and stated that he had just arrived from
Philadelphia to investigate the recent assassina-
tion of the President, with view TO ascertaining
the causes and accomplices which prompted
Guitcau to commit the act, Lieutenant Eek
loiI, in charge OF the detective oilcc, took tho
man into private room but amer short conycr
sation quickly made up his mind that the visitor
was Insane. He said his name was d. Charlie
Mcnamara, and that he was formerly in the army.
On one occasion he was confined In an insane
asylum In California, but was discharged cured
several years ngo, since which time he has resided
in Philadelphia. In Il rambling manner he pro-
cceded TO infolm the lieutenant that he was a
medium and could readily communicate with any
one in the Spirit Land. lie further said that at
one time he was inspired
TO KILL GENERAL GRANT,
but refralned on account Of having served under
him in the army. lie believed that Guiteau was
inspired to do what he did, and was under spir-
itual influences when he fired the shot. He
seemed anxious TO go into court with his views
and explain how Guitcnu was affected by the
spirits. He concluded his story by saying that he
had to interview General Sherman on the assas-
sinatlon business and started TO leave the building
when Lieutenant Ecklofr persuaded him to re-
main and meet two friends whom he was anxious
to introduce to him. A messenger was
sent for Drs, Eliot and Mciim and the visitor was
turned over to them for examination II did not
take them long to determine that Mcnamara was
insane, and commitment TO the insane asylum
was quickly prepared, The police ambulance WAS
summoned and In an hour Mcnamara was safely
lodged at 81, Elizabeth story was started that
the man had musket and pistol IN his possession,
