Of the peace Being In n bad way he
was sent to TIE comfy hospital whence
he escaped and wandered about the
country until he was taken into custody
on Thusrday night. When he was
brought into court he was found to be
laboring under the frequent hallucina-
ton that his life was being plotted

sentenced to be hanged and that his
execution was to take place yesterday
morning Everything was ready but
the crowd did not come; there were not
more than a dozen people there and the
gloomy function was postponed. He

statements tended to strengthen the
suspicion that he was not of perfectly
sound mind and he was committed.
