RETURN MARIETTA
TO THE ASYLUM
Escaped Patient Became vi
Olently Insane YesteP-
day.

Frank Marietta was arrested yes
terday by the sheriff on the charge
of insanity and taken to Rathdrum.
He will be sent back again to Orotlno
asylum for treatment for his malady.
Marietta was arrested on similar
charge during the winter and sent
to the asylum. He was at that time
insane on religious subjects and was
possessed of the delusion that he was
God, and that 1t was his mission to
save mankind, and he labored under
the delusion that he had the power
to do so. After being confined in
the asylum for a month or so he
made his escape and returned to his
home here on foot. He travelled the
entire distance hardly pausing to rest
and had but little to east during the
journey and when he arrived was
in fatigued and famished condi-
ton. He appeared rational and no
steps were taken to return him, and
since then he has been employed at
odd jobs about the city, and 1t was
believed that he had recovered, but
lately he has shown symptoms of the
return of his malady. Yesterday he
grew violent again and the sheriff's
Office was notified to take him into
ncustody and return him to the
ASYLUM.
Marietta has a wife and several
children. During his stay in the
asylum they were in destitute circum-
stances and were dependent on the
county, and they will again it is said,
become a county charge.

FITZGERALD Ar
RESTED FOR THEFT
Government Claims he is the
Man Who Stole $175,-
90 From Treasury

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-George Fitz-
gerald, the former asserting teller
in the United States subtreasury, who
was arrested at an early hour this
morning on suspicion of having
stolen $175,OOO from the treasury
about year ago, appeared before
Judge George Chettlains to answer
to the charge today. When the case
came up for hearing, counsel for
Fitzgerald asked that the court tx
bail SO that the prisoner might
be released, and also that that the
case be postponed. The court fixed
the bond at $4,000 and this the
prisoner succeeded in giving and the
case was postponed until Monday.
The crime which Fitzgerald is ac-
cused of committing occurred about
a year ago, and though the govern
ment has had secret service men at
work on the case ever since they
we're unable to secure a clew that
would seem to lead to the identity
of the thief until now. Fitzgerald
was suspected at the time but his
story was so PLAUSIBLE and reson-
able that no further attention was
paid to him than to discharge him
for culpable negligence in permitting
the money to be stolen. The money
was all in packages and of large
denominations, the least being $500
and the highest bills being $4,000.
Lately it is alleged. although neither
Fitzgerald nor his wife have lived
lavishly, they have INDUCED in specu-
lation that was beyond their means
and also acquired considerable prop
eTty which made IL necessary for
them to be in possession Of con
siderable capital. These were some
Of the clues that have lately been
followed by detectives on the case
but the real fact that brought the ar
rest Of Fitzgerald was the statement
Of Col. Harry c. Gano. wealthy
business man. that Fitzgerald had
come to him and requested him Il
pass several bills Of large denomi
nations. and hna offered him $500
provided he would DO 80.

pie in the passenger cars from death
These cars were hurled from the
track and ditehed and badly wrecked
but none Of the passengers received
what Is thought to be fatal injuries
and the greater number escaped en-.
tirely, save from the shock received
from the sudden stopping OF this
cars. Efforts were being made thii
forenoon to rescue the bodies OF ths
two dead tramps. but nothing much
will be done toward clearing up the
wreck until the arrival OF the wreck
ing train. The damage to the com
pany Is estimated as heavy.
The bodies OF the two men who
were supposed to be tramps were
identified this afternoon as Ra,
swartz OF Junction City, and Georg.

this place. The injured are as fol
lows: Verne Apperson, Eugene
