ERIE, Pa, July "A strange crank

fessed to be on divine mission to

fesses to be u distant relative He
said he had never taken mulch stock in
Guiteau until the night before he was
hanged, when God appeared to him in
vision and commanded him to 60 to
Washington to avenge Guiteau's muir
der. As to the manner in which it is
to be done, he is in doubt, as God
promised to reveal to him on his arriv-
al in Washington. He refused to tell
his name, or where he came from, but
he had ticket from Chicago to New
York. He uttered terrible threats
against Arthur and others.
