Near Battle Swamp.

A man of small stature, with black hair
streaked with gray, for number of days

the neighborhood of Battle Swamp, because
Of his eccentricity. He climbed trees and
was wont to remain up in the branches and
there sit and watch passers by ouranatang-
like, Friday Of .ast week, he climbed II large
tree near the reservoir on the suburbs of Port
Deposit, but from which he came down on
Saturday, and made off in the direction Of
Battle Swamp. At what is known as Abra-
hams gate, on the public road, he took up a
tree and in the branches built nest of leaves
which almost hid him from view. That even
ing early. he hailed young Wilfred Shaw,
son OF Rev. W. W. Shaw. The boy was
frightened and upon reaching his home told
his father. On sunday, Rev. Mr.. Shaw went
to the place and called to the man to come
down. He answered thar he was afraid Of
the dogs. No dog was near however. it being
his hallucnation. On Monday, Constable
Cummings, OF Port Deposit, induced the man
to come down out of the tree and gave him
food. The man gave his name AS James
Conwel' and that he had escaped from Il
Philadelphia Hospital, on September Sth.
Since that time he said he had subsisted on
corn, apples, tomatoes and such other field
crops as he could secure by foraging. The
man was brought to Ekton Jail and the case
is now being Investigated.
