Religious Maniac, Says Father

NEW YORK, July Colonel Wat
terson, who is in this city. was ap-
prised of his sons outbreak at Sau-
gerties and viii look after the young
mans interests From him the circum-
stances OF the case were learned.
Ewing Watterson. his father says,
has for some years been the victim of
form OF religious mania which has
failed to yield to any treatment. In
the effort to better his sons condition
Colonel Watterson placed him for some
time on a ranch in the west, and when
this environment failed to result in i'm
provement, bought him farm in the
where it was hoped the air and quiet
surroundings would benefit him.
Ewing Watterson, according to the
reports from Saugerties, entered Mar
tins place of business yesterday and
created disturbance. After some words
with the proprietor watterson opened
fire, shooting Martin three times. None
of the bullets inflicted serious injury
watterson was locked up and word was
sent to his father in this city.
From what could be learned of Colonel
Watterson's plans it is believed an ap-
plication will be made to have the son
placed in a sanatorium or asylum. His
mania had never been manifested be-
fore in violent form.
Another son of Colonel Watterson,
Harley NJ. watterson, was killed in
this city in November, 1908. by falling
from the nineteenth floor of a Wall
street office building.

for bail was refused by Police Justice
Rhoades and the prisoner was COM

The assistant district attorney op-
posed the application for bail, because,
he said, it was too early to determine
whether complications might render
Martins condition serious. He declared
that Watterson had struggled desper-
