THE BLOOD STAINED BULLET
THAT KILLED M'KINLEY.
4 Comorn Lunatic Exhibited "a Stick
OF Candy Which He Described as
th.e Deadly oIfssiye

CONFORM, Va, Dec. 30.-iSpecial)-
Hatley Mif1eton, well known white MAJ.
of this county, was yesterday adjudged
insane by q commission composed of Drs.
NJ. w. Minor and Y. o. Caruthers and
Justice w. J.. Rogers, and the sheriff was
directed to apply for his admission at an
asylum Immediately. Young Miff1eton
was adjudged insane about six Years ago.
and after being treated in the asylum at
Williamsburg for some time, he made his
escape and walked all the way to his
home here. While eccentric and dissipat-
ed, his sanity was not questioned again
until about a month or six weeks ago,
when he became troublesome and very
disagreeable.
Fer some time past Aitf1eton has been
carrying about and exhibiting a small
piece of red candy, which he insists is
the 4blood stained bullet that killed
President Mckinley. He has been writ
ing some queer notes and postal cards to
President Mckinley for some weeks past.
Miftieton grasped Il double-barrel gun
and kept the. Sheriff and several otha..
gentlemen at safe distance. for some
time when they went to his home 10
make the arrest.
The unfortunate man has always been
accustomed to the comforts of a home.
and 1t is feared that his Incarceration in
the county jail here, awaiting place in
the asylum will greatly aggravate his
condition.
