Officers from Three Stations Out on
Futile Chase-NIan Held for
an Examination.

Il have Just seen a man and a young
woman stabbed. and then slashed 10
pieces on a street corner by two foot
pads" exclaimed a young man as he
rushed into police headquarters about
II O'Clock last night and asked to see
Lieut. Peck Of the detective force. 'T
was standing on the corner near the
couple" he continued. when the two
men rushed from a dark doorway with
knives in their hands and commenced
slashing at them before my very eyes.
The more they cried for mercy. the more
vicious the men became. An officer should
be sent TO their assistance before they are
killed"
This report caused much excitement at
police headquarters. and Immediately
telephone wires were burning with mes
sages. The young man. however. failed
to tell exactly where the horrible attack
was being made, and In hopes OF getting
more information on the subject. Lieut.
Peck began to question him more closely
about the matter
It was then that the truth of the situa-
ton was made known, and the intense
excitement in police circles subdued.
L am a clairvoyant" continued the
young man, ''and can see these things I
was near the corner of Tenth and G.
streets, when I had this sudden vision
and thought it my duty to notify the
police"
Finding that the young man was suf-
IerlhS from some mental disturbance.
Lieut. Peck telephoned for the patroi
wagon, and in few minutes the man
was IN the First precinct station To
await an examination made by the police
surgeons. He said that his name was
Lawrence =. Holman. and that he lived
AT 1910 Ninth street When questioned
about the young mans condition last
night, Mrs Holman told the police that
her son had fallen from a bicycle re-
