INSANE PATIENT

MADMAN GETS HIS CUSTODIAN
INTOXICATED
Crazy Man shrewd Enough to Per-
suade Keepers to Lock In Man
Who Brought Him to
the Asylum

Special Cable to The Herald
PARIS. Aug. 13.-The Figaro pub
fishes the following story Of the acci-
dental removal Of a sane man to a
madhouse.
A gamekeeper and baker we're, at
the mayors request, escortlng to the
asylum at Anjers a certain Legrand, a
member of the town council of Cholet,
who had lost his reason.
on the road Legrand's escort, finding
II difficult to persuade him to accom-
pany them, decided. in order to render
him more docile, to ply him with liquor.
They took him into a cafe, and the
three indulged in such copious libations
that not only the madman but his Keep
ers also were soon very much intoxi-
Gated.
When they arrived In this condition
at the asylum, the director found 1t
impossible to gather from the incoher-
ent speech of the men which one of
them was the lunatic.
He thereupon telegraphed to the
mayor Of Cholet asking which of the
three men was mad.
"Legrand," the mayor wired in reply.
The telegraph operator, however,
transmitted the words, lie grand" (the
tall one.)
The director, in order to be sure of
his man, had the trio duly measured,
and finding the gamekeeper to be the
tallest of the three, he forthwith had
him placed in a straightjacket, de-
spite the mans vehement cries that it
was not he but the councillor who was
the mailman, his violence only having
the effect of convincing the director
that he was dealing with the right man.
The whole Iudicrous affair was then
brought to light and the gamekeeper,
whose reason during his forcible con-
finement has now really become un-
hinged, was professionally released. but
placed under strict medical surveil-
lance, while the lunatic, Legrand, has
been declared not sufficiently insane to
be placed in the asylum.
