Patient, Wrapped i'm Blanket, Walk
ed Blocks Through Rain.
Walter Meyler a patient who has been
some days in st. Joseph's Infirmary, es-
capped from that institution about O'Clock
last night While laboring under some
hallucination, he left his bed and sailed
forth into the night. His only protec-
ton from the pouring rain were under
clothing, and a blanket that he caught
up from the bed. He was hatless, and
the exposure was such as even a well
man would have been glad to avoid.
What his destination was did not de-
velop, but the patient started off to the
southwark on leaving the infirmary, from
which he effected his escape while none
OF the attendants was looking. He was
gone but a few moments, however, be-
fore his absence was discovered, and away
some of them started in pursuit. He was
overtaken near Park avenue, after hav-
ing walked all the distance through the
rain. His captors conducted him back
to the infirmary.
