exploits and actions have since been the
talk OF society in France England and
America, ana have created considerable
public interest was on saturday COM
mitted to tho Mclean Hospital at MaYcr-
10y.
Mr.. Deacon came to Boston on Thurs
day last from Narragansett Pier. ac-
companied by his trusted valet and nurse,
MIR. Il. IL. Peck. They registered at the
Hotel Bellevue, on Beacon street, which
place Mr.. Deacon has made his homo for
several years when in this city. lie act
ed very peculiarly soon after registering,
and seemed far from being IN his right
mind; but, being noted for eccentricities,
nothing was thought at first OF the man
ner in which he acted.
On Thursday night, however, he grew
violent, and the nurse and valet who
accompanied him, began 20 realize that
Mr.. Deacon was demented.
Ali day Friday he annoyed tho other
guests in the hotel, and on Friday night
his condition was so bad that DIR. Jelly
decided IL was advisable To move him TO
the Massachusetts, General Hospital.
He was cared for in private room in
the hospital over night and was given
all the attention possible. His condition
was such that opiates had 10 bo frequent
ly given him in order TO produce rest and
quiet, but at times no became very yio'
lent.
His actions were such. and his vehement
Dleadings for releaselwere so loud at the
hospital that his trustee was forced to
MAKE "a change and accordingly on the
advice of Dr. jelly ana another physician,
10 was decided to have him removed TO
the Mclean asylum at Wayerley. A car.
riage was called, and the unfortunate
man was driven TO that institution,
where he now is.
A consultation of physicians connect
| ed with the institution was soon called,
and the seriousness of the patients case
was discussed, but no definite conclusion
as To the probable result Of his case was
reached,
Inc experts, however, regard the case
as one of tho most serious that has ever
been brought 10 the hospital for treat
ment; and. while they did no. cOmu TO
the conclusion that recovery was hope
less. they seemed 10 agree that his cure
was improbable.

been visited by robbers, and they had succeed
ed in getting $40, which was loft for the con

of them and then with short cord made the
doors fast so that the police would not find
