VISITED THE PRESIDENT.
Insane Man From Berlin Who Claimed To Be
TrsnOr ". Parks Heir.

The following is a dispatch from
Washington to the New York Sun
dated Nov. II:
"a man who gave his name as
George Harvey Statson, 81 years old,
was arrested by Policeman Boswell
this morning while asking his way tn
the White House. The man told Bos-
well that he wanted to see President
Roosevelt to ask him to put a stop to
a number of persons who we're perse-
cutting him. His actions indicated
that his mind was unbalanced, and he
was escorted TO the police station,
where he is held pending an exami-
nation by the Board of Police Sur
geons.
"The man said that his home was
in Garfield, N. j., but that recently he
had been living 10 Bennington, VT,
from which place he arrived here late
last night. He said that his right
name was Parks, and that he was an
heir to Trenor Parks, who endowed
the Soldiers Home at Bennington.
Parks left me $500, 600, 600 in rail-
road stocks and bonds, " he said, "but
the people at Bennington will not let
me have it, and for fifteen years they
have kept me confined in a dungeon
and only lately shot me in the head.
| escaped from the dungeon the other
day, and here l am, and 1 want to see
President Roosevelt to talk the matter
over with him.
"The man had return ticket to
Bennington but no money"
Investigation Of the matter develops
that the man is. named Stetson and
lives near Berlin. The man is said to
be weak minded and has been in Ben
nington several times to see Deputy
Sheriff Nash in regard to the legacy
At sGch times be has declared that he
owned the Chatham division of the
Rutland railroad and the rolling stock,
or, as he expressed it, the whole

TERRIBLE CASE IN WESTFIELD.
Emaciatsd Town Charge Died in Filth with
Body Covered with Bruises.

The people of the town of Westfeld
are greatly disturbed over the condit-
ion under which Almeda Hoyt an un-
der-witted lifelong town charge died.
The town authorities had engaged Mrs
Rose Ducharme Ostrout to care for her.
Mrs Ostrout objected to having the
body examined by Representative
John Brown and Mrs Brown, but they
insisted on doing so.
The unfortunate creature was clothed
only in filthy rags, lying on a straw
tick, and only a ragged quilt for
sheets, pillow and covering. The bed
was reeking in filth and dampness and
when the body had been removed and
Mr. Brown attempted to lift the tick, it
was so rotten the little straw in it
dropped out. The body was so
emaciated and bruised that Mr. Brown,
Elmer Edmunds, and John Watkins,
all reliable substantial men, had an
autopsy performed by the resident
physician, who requested the assistance
OF prominent out-of-town physician.
They found nothing but blood in the
stomach and bowels and indications Of
starvation.
The body was bruised, there being
bruises on the head, none of which
could have been self-inilicted. One on
the forehead produced a clot OF blood
on the BRAIN and another on the base
OF the brain produced a clot, either of
which was sufficient to cause death.
A portion of the body was removed
and the report Of its condition is not
madeNpublic.
States Attorney A. w. Farman
after investigating the circumstances
of Mrs Almeda Hoyt, ordered that
Rose Ostrout be placed under sl,O10
bonds to appear at a preliminary hear
ing.
