WANTED
LOCKED UP
in BASTILE
Wichita Man Thinks He
is Pursued Believed
to Be Unbalanced

To hear Of a man breaking out Of
jail or trying to break out of Jail is
not uncommon, but to hear of man
doing his very level best to break
into jail is another matter, quite in
frequent and to be Investigated.
Imagine the astonishment Of the
sheriff's force this morning when they
arrived at the office to find man
already in possession there and max
ing immediate and urgent demands
that he be locked in the county bas.
tile at the earliest possibrl moment
Such was the case, however and
when Bose Ramsey refused to comply
with his request, he waxed very wroth
and said, q demand that you lock me
in jail, sir for my protection This
brought on more talk and after some
time ne following story was learned.
The mans name is Ed. T. Wiley
and his home is in Wichita, Kan He
says he is a Socialist and that in
some way he became involved in a
row and now thinks someone is on
! his trail seeking his destruction. He
appears uneasy and his eyes are con.
tinually rowing about restless and ap-
prehensiye.
That the man is mentally unbal-
anced is the belief Of the county offic
ials AT first they refused to comply
with his request that he be locked UP
and telephoned to the chief Of polio,
at Wichita, receiving from that offic
ial the informtion that he knew Vile,
and that he was not wanted there fol
any crime. He has two brothers there
with whom the police will get in toucl
and inform them Of his whereabouts
and condition. As Wiley refused Il
leave the place and repeated his de
mand, It was decided to lock him u
and await developments. Before h
was placed in Jail he cast suspicion
eyes upon Deputy John Phillips, fiji
