Supposed to BE Hiram ID. Wilson, an Es-
capped Lunatic-Not His First OGense.
ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. 4.-The dynamite
crank is thought to be Hiram ID. Wilson.
aged forty an escaped lunatic, and
native of Glens Falls. Warren county.
Wilson had previously escaped from the
Middletown and Utica asylums He was
a very strong man and of light complexion.
The first signs of insanity were developed
about fourteen years ago, when he kept
the Bolton House. on Lake George. Then
he led horses into the hotel and. mounting
a table, delivered an address to them. OF
late years he has talked of making horses
90 faster than any have gone and of patent
rights. At one time he took the shoes off O
horses feet and put them on his own feet
and then he led the horse over the mount
ainOus country of the Adirondacks.
Wilson, after short terms In insane asy-
lums, has been discharged as cured or has
escaped. He has generally celebrated his
freedom by threatening to kill some one
who refused to meet his demands for mon
ey. Several years ago he attempted to kill
q man whom he had asked for money to set
him up in business. On another OCCASION
when w. j. Arkell was in Albany, Wilson
made q demand on him. Upon being re-
fused Wilson threatened to kill Mr.. Arkell
and even attempted to assault him in his
office. He has also threatened the life of
commissioners. 1t was the loss of money
that made Wilson crazy. He was arrested
here about year ago for threatening to
Kill some one.

tion of the body of Mrs Solomon
Neideffer. who was foully and mysteriously
murdered on the 25th of last March, IN her
house, few miles from Bono. The matter
was kept quiet. so that no large crowd
would assemble at the place where Mrs.
Neideffer was buried. but when the body
was taken from the grave to-day
quite O number of neighbors were
on the grounds. deeply interested in the
result of the examination. The principal
purpose of this was to ascertain the size of
the bullets which killed Mrs. Neidetfer
One bullet was taken from the head
and one from the pericardium of
the heart both of which were
thirty calibre. At the time OF
the coroner's inquiry. last March. it was
thought that only one ball had struck the
head, but it was found that. instead of the
ball going through the head, two had en-
tered the skull.
About the middle of last October. Joseph

and several things of recent occurrence
seemed 20 substantiate the suspicion.
Finley has O 30-calibre revolver. which
is the only one known anywhere in the
vicinity. It's reported that he has been
selling off his property with the intention
of moving away.

nation was made known the earnest man.

there was q strong feeling of excitement.
which might easily result in a
mob in case the evidence should
point sufficiently certain To Finley
as the man who committed the deed.
Mrs. Neideifer was found dead at dusk on
March p, by her husband, Solomon Neidef-
fer, who had been away from home all day.
The murder has remained a deep mystery
ever since, though every effort was
made at the time to find the guilty
man. Although detectives have been
working on the case since that time. at the
the court of inquiry held April every man
of the country round about was examined
and compelled to give an ac-
count of himself. However, no proof
could be obtained sufficient to convict.
All concerned are in good circumstances
and have been considered good citizens.
No one can tell to-day what the result
will be. At late hour this afternoon mob
violence was feared.
