ESCAPES FROM HIS GUARD.
Martin coe, Demented Man, Leaps
From Train-Another Similar Incident.

Martin Coe, Demented Man, Leaps
From Train-Another Similar Incident.
Martin Coe. who 1t is said, assumed the
name Edward Relgar for the purpose of
concealing his identity, is under arrest in
Pittsburg on suspicion that he is insane.
He was arrested at the White House the
ed Of February, as an alleged crank, and
escaped from Crittenton Marriatt. agent
of the local board OF charities. at Cumber-
land Tuesday night, while again in Gus
tody. The prisoner was arrested In Pitts
burg after he called upon Attorney John
d. Watson and wanted to engage him to
act as his attorney in a claim he said he
had against the United States for $15, COO.
The claim, he said, was based on the fact
that the government allowed foreigners to
block American trade.
At the time the man was arrested at the
White House he was armed with a loaded
revolver and had a number of cart idges
in his pocket. 1t Is stated he was sent to
an asylum at Toledo several years ago, af-
ter his arrest on a charge of wife murder.
He was. declared insane by jury in this
city and committed to the asylum. Being
nonresident, Agent Wilson of the board
of charities. after an investiga ton, found
he had a brother living at Lima, Ohio.
Early this week he was started in the di-
rection of his brothers home and, when the
train reached Cumberland, stated, he
disappeared. He went to the door of the
car under the pretext of wanting water and
jumped from the moving train. He had
worked in Cumberland and was well known
there. Agent Marriatt, published in
Wednesdays Star, searched for the fugf-
tive, but failed to find him. 1t is thought
that Coe caught train that morning and
got a start on his way to Pittsburg.
When arrested in Pittsburg he explained
the absence of a weapon on him by saying
he had been disarmed when he was arrest
ed in this city.
1t has been but few weeks since the
escape of Timothy B. Mangan, another in
sane man, who was beng taken from here
by Agent Marriatt. Timothy was also a
man Of Authorizations, although he did not
have nearly so many as Coe. His m. ssfon
here last year was to see about a big
claim he had against the United States,
as well as for the purpose of giving advice
to the government. There was no question
about the condition of his mind and, after
short sojourn at St Elizabeth Hospital
for the Insane, he was started on the long
Journey west, which was to be made at
the expense of the District When Louis
vile was reached the insane man became
tired of riding and walked away from
the guard. Louisville was searched high
and low but he was not to be found. He
had no doubt taken to the woods, as his
condition indicated when he returned to
this city not long ago of his own accord
He presented the appearance of typical
tramp and admitted he had been hobo
ing" as he stated 1t.
When he returned to the city he called
at police headquarters and the officers
quickly discovered that there was some
thing wrong with him. He was promptly
recognized by the sanitary officer, who re-
turned him to the asylum.
