Dangerous Crank Apprehended.
A man who is regarded by the secret
service officers and by the authorities Of
Oyster Bay as a dangerous crank was ap'
pretended here shortly before noon to-
day. ellis ]. E. Reeves. a medium sized
roughly attired man. about forty years OF
more Hill when he was arrested.
He told Officer Tyree, who apprehended
him. that he wanted to see the president
Oh important business. Believing from the
mans manner that he was insane Officer
Tyree took him before Justice Franklin
for examination. To the justice Reeves
said that six years ago he died in a Jersey
City hospital. and went to heaven In an
automobile
. While there he received an important
message for President Roosevelt. which he
was directed to deliver personally. He re-
fused to say what the nature of the mes
sage was, as he declared he could COM
municate 1t to nobody but the President.
He declared to the justice, however, that
he had written a book on his experiences
in heaven, which he desired to have pub.
lished, as he was satisfied millions could be
made out of it. The President he said. I'M
doubtedly would join with him in securing
! the publication of the work, and that was
one reason why he wished to have a talk
with him.
Was Resident of Baltimore.
Reeves. who talked as If he had en-
joyed some educational advantages, said
that he was a resident Of Baltimore. He
had gone from that city to Hagerstown
Md, and then to Washington to see the
President. Learning there that President
Roosevelt was in Oyster Bay, Reeves re-
turned to Baltimore and made his way to
, Philadelphia, New York, Jersey City and
from Hampstead. He had in his pockets
81 in cash and some unimportant papers
|. but no weapons.
Justice Franklin. after the examination
being convinced that the man was insane
and very likely dangerous, deputiZed one
of the secret service men to take him to
Mineola. where a formal inquiry into his
mental condition will be held.
