TELLS MARVELLOUS TALE.
Young Man Attracts Unusual Atten'
ton in Baltimore Hotel.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, September "A youth
arrayed in blue overalls descended upon
the Hotel Rennert last night and told
everv one who would listen to him a mar
yelous tale Of his escape from St. Eliza
beth's Insane Asylum. IN Washington, the
night before. He said his name was James
Holden, and for several hours he tried to
get into telephone communication with
some one in Washington. Then. waving
goodbye he faded into the distance
"That was the third time I got away
from a lunatic asylum" he said MY rela-
tives want to get rid of me and some TIME
ago had me arrested on charge OF belng
a lunatic I was sent to st. Elizabeths TO
await examination, but soon escaped But
l was caught and 1t was some time peIote
7 made off again. That time l was again
reca injured This time they'll never get me
"A few days ago 1 jostled one of the Sis,
tiers of Charity at the asylum ana she leil
through a glass door. Then they put me
in the criminal ward. Last night CIhurs-
day) there was a dance at the asylum ana
| arrsyed myself in a tuxedo coat TO at
tend It, During the festivities tackled
guard and knocked him out Ihat ieIt me
free with a tuxedo coat on, and hurried
to Washington and I sold my suit for y 90
With the money bought this overall outht
and a ticket to Baltimore. AND mere ! am
now" Several guests at the hotel onereo
to give Holden money, but he refused IL;
He said he had been hunting for work all
day and happened to get good job To-Day.
When the attention Of the officials or the
Government Hospital for the Insane was
called TO the foregoing special dispatch by
a Star reporter last night the statement
was made that James Holden had been an
inmate OF that institution. and had, as he
stated. escaped once from the asylum. his
absence at this time, 1t was further ex-
blamed was not because of his escape
hut because he was released from custody
by action Of the District courts on writ OF
habeas corpus.
After one Of the physicians had heard
the statement made by Holden In Balti-
more hotel he said he was more than ever
convinced that the young man was in need
of medical treatment. His statement about
iostlinR a Sister of Charity at st. Eliza
beth's was pronounced to be mental de-
fusion. as none of the sisters of that order
are engaged in any capacity at the asylum.

to examine all of the men whose terms had

the thermometers used might have been
defective. the health officer sent DR.. W. c.
Fowler, the chief Inspector, to the Jail yes
terday afternoon with a new set of instru-

previous report that each of the score and
Done awaiting liberty had temperatures
above the normal.
Under the law, which states that "ail
cases which resemble smallpox and cannot
be distinguished from that disease are sub
