DR.. Fl. L. Getz, city physician OF
Marshalltown. and well known thru
out Iowa and the United States among
the medical profession attempted sui
eide this morning at o'clock at West
Liberty. Standing on the platform at
the Rock Island passenger station, APP
was acting strangely, brandishing an
open surgeons scalpel and striking
threatening attitudes toward passen-
gers. Many people were frightened at
the stranger, fearing that he would
harm them Marshal r. J. Wiley was
summoned, to take the doctor in
charge and before he could approach
him Getz stabbed himself in the left
breast.
Four.inch Blade Under Heart.
The blade was four inches long, and
1t was buried to the handle in the fifth
intercostal space between the fifth
and sixth ribs, ranging downward SO
that 1t lis believed it just missed the
apex Of the heart. While DR. Getz did
not come near hurting anyone in his
.promiscuous use of his scalpel. he was
wild in his actions and would APP
proach some passenger and make
lunge at him with the open knife.
VARIED Marshal to Keep Away.
When Marshal Wiley arrived at the
station he approached the doctor. who
warned him to keep away. I'll never
go back to the asylum" the doctor
cried Il told them wouldn't, and l
WON'T" The marshal attempted to
take a jovial view OF the matter, and
informed the doctor that he wanted to
talk to him. Marshal Wiley APP

Asylum His Hailucination.
That DR.. Getz was suffering from q
severe mental disorder there is no
doubt His hallucination was that
some one was trying to get him back
to independence, Wheer he spent sew
eral months. His release on parole
followed year ago this summer, and
later a discharge was secured. He kept
insisting that he would not go back to
the hospital under any conditions.
Tells Of a Vision.
In his disordere0 state of mind Dr..
Getz told of vision that he had had
only this morning, when he first aWoke.
He said that he saw his wife and that
she was dressed all in white, and that
he told her he would never go back to
the asylum.
Hurried to Iowa City.
The, train that the numerous pas
sengers at the West Liberty station
was awaiting was the limited from the
east. 1t pulled into the station just
about the time DR.. Getz stabbed him
self. Realizing that there was no good
place in West Liberty where man
in the patients condition could be Civ
en- proper treatment, a preliminary
dressing was made to the wound, and
the train was held ten minutes that
the doctor could be placed on board.
Marshal Wiley took him to Iowa City,
to the state university hospital where
DR.. l.. w. Bierring, who occupies. the
chair Of internal medicine in the uni
yersity, cared for him.
