WORE CHAIN GANG SUIT.
Lewis ]. Marshall Sent to the Insane
Asylum.


Lewis J. Marshall has been sent to the
insane asylum. He paraded the streets in
striped suit similar to the garments
worn by the chain gang. Marshall visited
the Criminal Court in that costume and
came near interrupting the trial OF the
post office cases. Then he strolled along
Louisiana avenue to the Central Union
Mission, where he attended the noon pray
or meeting. People in the mission shook
hands with him and welcomed him to the
meeting. Yesterday when he appeared on
Pennsylvania avenue he attracted the at
tentton of a policeman, who promptly
reached the conclusion that q man who
would wear such clothing on the street
needed attention, and later the police sur
geons told him he had made no mistake.
They said that Marshall was suffering
from insanity. He imagines that he IL be-
ing prosecuted Marshall had what pur-
ported to be copy of an address he de-
livered in New England. He says he was
arrested there on suspicion of being insane
and was released because his wife threat
ened habeas corpus proceedings.
After he had been pronounced insane By
the police surgeons he was taken to the
asylum to be held for hearing in court.
The Boston police have been asked to To-
