SOUGHT MAYORS AID
Man Made Insane by Blow,
Dodged Imaginary Foes.

While temporarily insane as result of
an injury to his head, caused by the fall
ing of a large piece of wood on him,
last Tuesday, John Rehben, forty-four
years old, of New York City, a laborer
employed ON the lighter Kingston, lying
at the foot of Essex street, rushed into
Mayor Hoos's office yesterday shortly af-
ter noon and demanded the arrest of
several imaginary persons, who, he said,
had assaulted him, and who, he thought,
were still chasing him. He was headed
off by the Mayors Clerk, Dennis Ryan,
before he got into the private office His
story was heard
Mr.. Ryan telephoned to Police Head
irresponsible. Chanceman Byrnes of the
First Precinct police station was sent to
the City Hall and he arrested Rehben.
The man was sent to the City Hospital
to have a wound on his head dressed.
He was then returned to the police sta
ton and this morning arraigned before
Police Justice Hoos in the First Criminal
Court. He was held to await examina-
tion as to his sanity by County Physician
Converse.
1t appears that while Rehben was at
work last Tuesday large block of wood
fell on his head, causing severe wound.
He dressed it as best he could himself
and paid no more attention to it. Yes
terday morning he lost his reason and
went about dodglng imaginary foes. With
the idea of causing the arrest of his tor
mentors, he started for the Mayors office.

The attendants and the warden had
rough time of t with the lunatic last
night. He became so vIoletn that the war
den feared to lock him in padded cell
as he might batter his head to pieces. In

could be watched all night. Several times
the attendants had to subdue him. Twice
he ripped the bed clothing to pieces and
fought fercely. Hsi hands were finally
tied.
He is a bad case said the Warden
today. 1--WE questioned him several
times and all he said was that his name
was sGilhooley.' Nothing more can be
elected. His clothes are bad and dirty.
1t is my opinion that he has either es-
capped from some asylum or been will
a strange case"
The lunatic wore a shabby grey suit,
black Derby and black shoes. His COM
plexion is light and he has a reddish
board and mustache. The Warden says
