HIS LIFB AND THOSE OF HIS
cHuDRFN. Escaped FROM A.
HOSPITAL
Crazed by poverty. Hiram Riggen,
"A years old, imagined he was
God. He took four young children to
the roof of his home, No. 4S7 West
Thirteenth street, and attempted TO
make them ieap on, says the New York
Herald Of yesterday.
After being taken to the Presbyter-
ian Hospital he jumped out OF a first-
story window and ran to the park, fol-
lowed by a nurse and a policeman.
He fought both, but was overpowered
and taken in a straight-jacket back
to the hospital and then to Bellevue
insane pavilion.
Mrs Riggen said yesterday that Mr..
Riggen came to this city from Laurel,
Del, seventeen years ago, and, going
into the produce business, prospered
from the start.
He soon married and the family,
which now consists of wife and four
cfldren, lived in handsome apartments
in 103d street. Riggens business be-
gan to dwindle. but he kept his head
above water until two years ago, when
clerk robbed him.
HAD TO Seek POORER QUARTERS.
He was then compelled to give up
his business ait Washington and Jay
streets. He moved to No. 1882 Gates
avenue, and tried to build a business
in the WallabOut Market, but was fin-
ally forced to do any work he could get
around the market.
His wife learned Of his struggle, and
persuaded him to seek a cheaper home.
Riggen often brOoded over his troubles
and looking about the small rooms
he would often burst into tears
His vagaries began four days ago
when he told his wife he expected to
make millions in the cigar business
Finally he thought he owned heaven
and earth. He declared to his wife
Friday that he was God and could
take the whole family to heaven.
He became very restless Friday after
noon and started out without his hat
Hatless, too, the wife followed. Fol
hours Riggen walked about, with his
head down, muttering to himself, bu
