Of the Fifth ward, and member OF a
good family, was arrested by Lieut..
Terrill and Officer Moran, and being
arraigned before Squire Gillespy, was
committed 10 jail 20 await an inquest
into his sanity.
Hoehle has long been known to be
mentally unbalanced, and several years
ago spent time in the state hospital
for the insane at Weston. He has been
considered harmless. He had a mania
for writing letters, and his insanity
seemed to have something to do with
religion.
The warrant for his arrest yesterday
was sworn out by Lieutenant Terrill,
on information from members OF st.
Matthew's congregation that he had
written threatening letter to Rev. DR..
Swope. He also, some time ago, wrote
to Chief OF Police McNicho, threaten
ing TO kill Officer Moran, who had made
him move on when he found MIN
Longing on the stone wall in front OF
the Y. NJ. G. A. building. Since writ
inc the letter to DR.. Swope he has fire.
oueutly been seen hanging around the
Teclory, and taking all the circumstau-
ces together, it was thought prudent to
nut him where he could not carry out
his threats.
10 avoid fight with him Lieutenant
Terrill told him the chief simply wanted
TO talk with him, and gave him to IN.
dcrsland that he would not be locked
up. As he was being taken into the
iai. he turned to Terrill and asked:
do YOU remember how Garfield
came to be shot%
NO" said the lieutenant; how was
that"
"He made promises and did not keep
them"
The inference was plain that he
meant TO threaten the officers lie Tor
deceiving him.
Following is the letter written to Rev.
DR.. Swope:
WHEELING, W. VA, Aug. %, 1898.
Mr. Rel. DR.. S,rope.
DEAR SIR.-If am not mistaken in
the name hope that you will excuse
me for sending you few lines in regards
towards the peoples lives in this city
and surroundings. suppose that you
are well aware OF how the people are
dieing with different fevers, where
medicine is failure and the Doctors
are ut constend study how to hold the
people from death and prolong their
lives. God has send Jesus into this
world to do good. and he has send
several Ministers OF the so-called Gospel
mail for the benefit Of THAR congrega-
lions but they have never given him an
answer, that makes them sinners against
Christ and against thar congregation,
they are not loveing Christ as he loved
them, they have violated the Gospel
themselves, which makes God angry for
not excepting Jesus, and he now COM
mands me to send you the last mail,
and il you will not make preparations
to give your congregation lecture on
how to keep we'll and assist me in doing
good, that God commands me lay away
the pen, and raise the sword ana cut
down every minister in the city who
have not given me eney right to lecture
and make reasonable liveing that have
perfect right to, as l have been used
in the past seven years it would be a
disgrace for the public to see the truth
in print, but so.called Presidents who
have never done the public aney good
are always mentioned from the pulpits
be they democrats or Republicans, they
have done the public more harm
than rood. and THAR names has
no right to be praised from
aney pulpit in this country. lhave seen
this danger coming ON in this country
in 1885 and in 1856 l whent on to see
the President but he could not be seen
| also wAent on to see Harrison he could
not be seen on Business. so the country
has gone on towards hell on earth in
place OF heaven on earth and wee are
nearing a rebellion move every day be-
cause wee have no civil statesmen in
Office to lead this country right that the
public can have trust and confidence
in they have lost all faith in both politl-
cal parties for their false predictions to-
wards the people. God in heaven knows
itas we'll as am on earth and he knows
the cursed sim which has been going
on snse the death of George Washing.
ton who was i'll those days lair minded
statesmen and not much OF Il politician
such men as he wee are in need OF badly
when country becomes endangered
and the peoples lives are unsafe. by
what is known as dam Rebel Cover
ment who leads this country into
temptation or its people and cannot de-
liver II from evil. it seems that the
Ministers would let me Otarve IN place
OF helping the needy. who can reward
the people and receive a reasonable re-
ward SO he can live that's what | receive
Tor my goodness in the past feeding the
flock and trying to put the, living goa
under THAR ieet. this shall never De
done rather than see the sword rust. |
shall make use OF it in the right hand
which demands the ungodly TO surren-
der towards Christ or they must die.
YOU are about the only one who l am
waiting on for an answer the others are
numbered for the sword
Yours Truly
A Civil Doctor

In the letter to the chief oil ponce
complaining about Officer Moran's act,
he uses language which forcibly demon
strates how wild he is. He advises
the officer 70 read the constitution, aud
says he himself was posted on it before
he was ten years old. He adds: ,
Moran did not make the first brick
that ever was made to give people a
reasonable home or did he establish
the different trades togive people work,
for he himself has not the common
sense OF hogg, for he has done more
wrong in the past than child not ten
years old, both being babtised, him
