FORGER HUGULEY ESCAPES.
Has Wealthy Friends Who Have Him
Declared Insane.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
GREENCASTLE, Ind, Oct HAIRY ].
Huguley, who is wanted at several points in
the country, was here again yesterday and
papers are being made out to-day to COM
NIT him to the insane asylum at Indian
apolis. Huguley first visited this city last
week and under the name Of Henry A. Todd
of Chicago, attempted to pass check on
the First National Bank purported to be
signed by f.. Shipley, a local merchant He
was unsuccessful and disappeared i'm
mediately. Huguley was accompanied to-
day by Judge D. N. Taylor, of Terre Haute,
his attorney, who appeared before special
session of court presided over by d. E. Will
hanson, at which 1t was alleged that
Huguley was insane on the point of for
gerry and could not help his actions. The
charge of forgery was dismissed and a
lunacy commission instituted which declared
Huguley to be Of unsound mind. Physicians
from Indianapolis were here and testified
for Huguiey as to his mental troubles.
Among the claims made for Huguley is
one that he had been injured in his earlier
life while playing football at college and
that the injury to his brain produces the
mania for forgery. Other stories are to the
effect that he was struck over the head
while fencing with a broadswOrd and an
other is that he was kicked by a horse.
Huguley is wanted at several places over
the country for forgeries A mysterious
message received to-day from Indianapolis
which was unsigned, was directed to the
sheriff and it asked if Harry ]. Huguley
was here, and Sheriff Bunten replied that
he was and in his hands. The insanity pro-
ceedings taken here. it is thought. will pre-
vent any further prosecution on the forgery
charges. Huguley is addicted to the ex-
cessive use of cigarettes, consuming as high
a hundred day. some days. His father
is wealthy importer of wines. liquors and
cigars of Boston. and there seems to be
plenty of money at the young mans back.
The Marion county sheriff and two gen.
element from Texas were here this afternoon
for Huguley who remains here pending the
arrival of papers admitting him to the In
sane HOSPITAL.

favor which they enjoy at the hands OF the
public are sufficient evidence that they
meet a deeply felt want and offer remedy
for a grievous evil. Giving bond for faith
