DANGEROUS CRANK CAUGHT.
Wants to Be President and Threatens
to KIN Senator Mitchell.

PORTLAND. Ore, Nov. IA rather
dangerous sort of crank, who has for
some time been sending letters OF ad-
vice to Gov. Pennoyer and to The
Government of Portland and Oregon"
was captured shortly after noon Mon
day.
He is Charles Lundegger. a German,
forty years of age, and Il gardener by
occupation. The letter. which fell into
the hands of Mayor Mason, and which
led to his apprehension, is voluminous
affair.
Its writer alleges that he is n reform
er who has been delegated by God to
run on an Independent ticket for the
Presidency of the United States; that
it has been revealed to him that he Is
the only man living who can safely
guide the Government through the pres
ent crisis.
He thinks 1t will be necessary to kill
Senator Mitchell. who, he says. is
working against the interests of the
great Northwest.
He then goes into n lengthy discussion
concerning the wrong-doing OF num-
Der of people, saying that they. too,
must die II the country is to be saved.
He was sent to the insane asylum.

THREATENED THE CAPTAIN.
Brooks Thought He Was Meant and
Had the Crank Arrested.

John O'Donnell. who says he lives at
oyster Bay l.. l., was a prisoner in the
Harlem Police Court this morning He
was thought to be a crank, and Capt.
Brooks, of the Twenty-ninth Precinct
Police Station. had passed part OF the
night congratulating himself on his
escaNe from death.
O'Donnell was found on Harlem
Bridge last night brandishing revolver
and muttering that he wanted to kill
the captain. AS he was pointing the
gun at steamboat near by he probably
meant the commander OF that craft. but
Capt. Brooks happened to be near by.
and when he saw O'Donnell and heard
his call for the Captain cold shiyers
ran up and down his back.
He put n lot of space between him
self and the supposed crank and then
notified Policeman Boyle. Boyle took
O,Donnell to the police station.
In court this morning O'Donnell denied
that he was n crank. but pleaded guilty
to being drunk. only one cartridge was
found in his revolver. He was fined s.,
which he paid, and then left for his
/ home.

him, besides the knife.
In the Delaney street station early
this morning he became violent. and
scratched and kicked down the plaster

Kelly was a bank.
IN court he wanted $500 from Court

JENKINS WAS SHORT $1,000.
Cause of the Removal of Sing
Sings Postmaster.
No Criminal Intent shown, There
fore No Arrest.

John Jenkins Is no longer Postmaster
of Sing Sing, which fact has caused
much gossip in that locality. His re-
moval Is due to an unexpected visit
from Post-Oflce Inspector Shopp, who
called during Mr.. JCnkins's absence.
An investigation of the Office showed a
shortage of sl,20O. The Postmaster s
bondsmen were called on, but declined
to make the amount good.
George jenkins, brother of the Post
master and Treasurer Of Che town of
Ossining. which includes Sing Sing, came
forward with the sum. teleSraphlC
report from the Inspector resulted in
the immediate removal of the Postmas-
ter.
Mr.. Jenkins Is about thirty years Of
age, and has resided In Sing Sing nearly
all his life. He was deputy to Col. Nc
Alpine, and about two years ago was
appointed Postmaster by President
Harrison.
He was interested in the affairs of the
Seventy first Regiment, and spent con-
siderable time In this city at the
armory.
His friends claim that while he was
peculiarly, careless in his management
of the Office there was no criminal in
tent shown, which accounts for the
fact that no arrest was made.
John H. DunScOmb, one of Mr.. Jen.
kins's former bondsmen, Is now acting
as temporary Postmaster.
Mr.. jenkins was in the city to-day
and to friends cofessed that he was a
had he been at home when the lnspec.
tor visited his Office his bondsmen ant
relatives would not have been called
upon to make good the shortage.

animation as to her sanity in the Tombs
Police Court this morning. Her brother

tions was told exclusively in The
Evening World' yesterday. After his
interview with an Evening World" re-
porter, the physician went to the Torhs

woman's arrest.
After her husband had left her, she
looked in the directory for the name and
address of DR.. Radway." her hus-

Could Leave Court Unseen.
He Had Thought Her Sane. but She
Opened His Eyes.

Justice Martin, in the Tombs Police
Court this morning. had hard time
trying to decide whether or not nineteen
year Old Sadie Weinberg was Of un-
sound mind. The girl at first showed
no evidence of insanity, although her
brother insisted that she was a terror
to the rest of the family, and that all
were afraid OF her. Later she created
quite a scene in the court room. and her
commitment promptly followed.
Sadie. who is pretty, was stylishly
dressed. She studied hard all her life,
and to this is attributed her present
trouble. Her brother told the Justice
that she had recently got into the habit
of staying away from her home. 253
West Houston street. and while the fam
ily knew where she was stopping. they
were afraid she was growing violent.

She tried to get through, but he drove
her back Then she tried the otler gate,
with like result.
Five different attempts she made to es-
cape from the courtroom, and at last,
when she was finally committed. she
was almost raving.
The girl. before being taken down
stairs, said she had never attended a
