When Put in Confinement.

Peter ]. Delaney, telegraph operator

the Washington Asylum Hospital Satur

cinct because it was believed his mind
was affected, became troublesome after he
reached the hospital and was put in re-
straining sheet.
Inspector Boardman, chief Of detectives,
explained today that the local police
know nothing about the patient. They
have not communicated with the Detroit
police, and are not Informed regarding a
report that Delaney is wanted in Detroit
as a fugitive from an asylum or that he
Is the man who shot another telegraph
operator in that city five months ago.
When Delaney called at the first pre-
cinct police station Saturday night there
was nothing about his appearance to in
dictate that he was Of unsound mind. and
it was not until after the police had con-
versed with him that they thought he
was In need Of treatment.
Want to see somebody" Policeman
Ward asked the stranger.
That's what I came in here for" he
responded, 'and I guess you can attend
to me. 1 know you won't believe what
tell you, for it seems SO unreasonable"
Delaney then said he was an expert
telegraph operator in Chicago a number
Of years ago. He was employed on a
press wire. he. said, and sent reports OF
proceedings in a divorce case in which a
prominent banker was involved. After
they were printed the banker began to
prosecute him.
Il have been followed from city to
city," he said, "and the detectives have
sitions or to stop very long at hotels.
They have told hotel clerks that was
murderer and said other villainous things
about me- and when they got no salts
faction they occupied rooms near mine
and annoyed me. 1 know this all seems
unreasonable to you. but It's true
Delaney said he had complained to
District Attorney Jerome In New York.
That official directed him to procure war
rants for those who were ANNOYING him,
but he added, he could not do SO be-
cause he did not know who they were.

Riding from the first precinct station
to the Washington Asylum Hospital. De-
laney discussed his affairs with Police
man Simpson without showing any signs
OF violence. There was a decided change
In his condition az soon as he realized
where he was, however, and he de-
nounced the policemen for having taken
him to the asylum.
IT called on the police for protection"
he shouted. "and they have brought me
to a bughouse.''
Policeman Simpson and the attendants
told him he was in a hospital and not
an insane asylum. He was not easily
convinced, however. and shortly after the
departure Of the policeman his conduct
became such that 1t was necessary to
| resort to the use Of the restraining sheet.
This morning he was quiet. and the at
tendants removed the sheet.
The police will communicate with the
Detroit authorities In an effort to asoer-
| tain something ABOUT him.

ment and Controller Tracewell In declin-
ing to reopen and allow claims for army
longevity pay, based on cadet service.
said to involve between 100000 and
5000, 900.
A test case was instituted by Capt. AL
bert Todd, who sought by mandamus to
compel the allowances of a claim for
pay between July 1, 1878, and February
"a, 1881, under the decision Of the
United States Supreme Court in the Wat
son case.
Barred by Statute.
Through Assistant United States At
torney Huidekoper. the auditor and con-
troller in their answer set UP that re-
spondent held within their lawful juris-
diction that the Watson decision did not
apply to the case of Capt. Todd, be-
cause his claim is barred by the statute
of limitations and that the petitioner
had failed 10 enforce his cause Of action
in the Court Of Claims within the stat
utory period.
The respondents also pointed out that
the suit was in reality against the United
counting officers. and that the United
States had not consented to be sued else
where than in the Court OF Claims. To
this answer. Capt. Todd. through Attor-
neys X ind & King led demurrer.
Demurrer Overruled.
In overruling the demurrer. Justice An
derson declares the relief sought Is not
the doing Of ministerial act. but the
reversal Of the Judgment Of the account
ing officers. The only remedy Of petit
toner, the court said, was suit In the
Court OF Claims. which had been lost by
the expiration Of the statute Of limita-
lions. Az the United States had not con-
scented to be sued elsewhere. Justice An
derson concludes the District Supreme
Court is without Jurisdiction to grant the
relief asked by the officer.
Counsel for the officer will appeal the
case, which is expected to go to the
United States Supreme Court.
