WATERVILLE.
A PlTIABlE CASE.
Henry Castle in Dangerous Insane
State-Locked Up on Complaint.

A most pitiable object of humanity
was lodged in the police station. yes
terday. on complaint of the manager
Of the aims house. This man. who is
a mental wreck but otherwise able
bodied, is an old and formerly we'll
known resident of Waterville, Henry
Castle. He has lived in this city and
followed his trade as coatmaker in
different tailoring establishments in
years past, but of late years has been,
at odd periods, in a condition of in
sanity which has necessitated his con-
finement. 1t will be recalled that, a
short time ago, he was dependent on
the city Of Portland for aid and, that
the city. finding that he was in reality
Ia Waterville citizen. made known the
situation to Joseph Giroux, oyerseer
of the poor of Waterville. Castle was
soon after brought to this city and
lodged in the aims house His condi-
ton has been steadily becoming worse
and, besides being a possible menace
to the inmates Of the house he was
of such a troublesome and oftentimes
violent disposition. that it was seen
impossible to take a proper care of
him in this way. and, as the only other
place OF safe confinement which the
city possesses is the police station, he
was taken there, Tuesday morning. In
all probability. unless unexpected
legal complications arise which is not
at all probable. he will be committed
to the Insane hospital at Augusta, be-
fore the end of the day.
While employed in this city by E. y.
Small. merchant tailor, in 1894. Cas-
tie became suddenly insane and was
taken to the Augusta Insane hospital
for treatment. He was kept by the
authorities for few months. when he
was returned to this city with the I'M
derstanding that he was considered
harmless. if not exactly well balanced.
He worked at his trade in Augusta
for two or three years and afterwards
obtained employment where he has
been up to the time of coming to this
city. Since that time he has shown
a decidedly wandering mind and has
long since become a public charge. 1t
is understood that he has a wife and
two daughters who live in this COM
munity. He is about 65 years of age.
