tails regarding their care and protection,
were very minute and exact
This letter from Mrs. Jackson was ad-
dressed to Judge William Harden, and
she asked, in behalf of the Colonial
Danes of America. who were to have
charge of the relics, that the conditions
imposed be relaxed somewhat and some
of them taken off. The writer stated that
a great deal of pains would be taken to
keep them safely, and mentioning the
fact that an attendant would sleep near
them, and that every precau-
ton for their safety would be fully ar
ranged. some discussion enSQed, the major

aged to get aboard, but having no money
and no ticket was put ashore by the COM
mittee with considerable difficulty.
This so enraged Williams that he be-
came frantic. Going back a little piece
from the wharf Williams took running
start and reaching the wharf sprang in
to the air and plunged headforemost into
the water. He went under and remained
under for some time. He came up after
about two minutes and Immediately went
down again.
The cries of the crowd attracted the at
tention of two men who were in boat a
little below where Williams jumped into
the water, and the tide carrying him
down toward the boat when he arose the
second time the men seized him and drag
ged him into the boat. Williams fought
and struggled with the men in the en-
deavor to get into the water again, and
ii was necessary to tie him with a rope in
order to bring him ashore. He was turned
over to Policeman Maher, who carried him
to the barracks. By the time he arrived
there he was a raVing maniac and Chief
McDermott judged it necessary to hand
cuff him before placing him in a cell. A
writ of lunacy was shortly afterward
sworn out before Judge Ferrill and Will
