u a Third Time.
Just before II o'clock the man returned
a third time and demanded Of the Of
ficer that he should be permitted to see
the president at once. The officers re-
Spouse was to take the nan from his
buggy and put him in the stables, where
he was placed under the guard of two
stablemen. A revolver wa found in the
buggy. Later Weilbrenner was brought
to the village and locked up. He is five
feet eight inches high, % years old, has a
medium sized dark mustache, black
eyes, and evidently Is of German de-
scent. He resides in Syosset, about
five miles inland from Oyster Bay. He
was we'll dressed in a suit of dark ma
terial and wore an old-fashioned derby
hat. It is thought by the officers that
Weilbrenner was accompanied by two
other men, as their footprints were
found in the mud alongside of the buggy
tracks. In view Of this fact, the Off
Ger on duty telephoned to the village
for assistance. and was soon Joined by
two other secret service men.
Thought to BE Insane.
While Weilbrenner talked nationally
to the officers Tuesday night, it seemed
evident from his conversation Wednes-
day that he is demented. He said he
had received a Geographic communica-
ton from the president directing him to
call at Sycamore Hill. Weilbrenner's
buggy was taken to a local livery barn.
When asked what had become of the rig,
Weilbrenner replied: ooh, the president
has taken care of it. That's all right"
Weilbrenner is regarded by those who
have seen him to be a dangerous lu-
natic.
At Syosset it is learned that the man
is the son of a truck farmer, and is one
of three brothers. He has two sisters.
The family is respectable and is held in
general esteem.
Weilbrenner several years ago had a
nervous attack, which rendered him
mentally helpless for a day or two, but
his family supposed that he had been
quite restored by the medical treatment
he received at that time. Since then
he has manifested no symptoms of men
tai alteration. He had no socialistic
or anarchistic tendencies, as far as
known, never having been interested in
any questions of that kind. He was en-
.ployed daily on his fathers farm.
Prisoner Questioned.
Weilbrenner was arraigned Wednes-
day before Justice Franklin on COM
plant of the secret service operatives
who placed him under arrest. We'll
brenner's brother William was present
at the examination. Justice Franklin
questioned the prisoner about his move;
,ments Tuesday night. His replies were
made in a quiet tone of voice, but they
indicated apparently beyond a doubt
that the man is crazy. Asked why he
went to Sycamore Hill, he replied:

Justice Franklin after the examination
concluded he would hold Weilbrenne

upon his case. The examination the1
