SEATTLE OFFICIALS
BRING HOLLAND HERE
Local Asylum Head Brings Washington
to Time in Case of Patient Spirited
Away.

Lawrence Holland, who was spirited
away from the asylum for the insane
early in June is back again, having
been returned Sunday, He was located
in Seattle soon after his escape, and,
under instructions from the asylum an.
thorities, was held there until he could
be sent for, The authorities there
wired DR.. Steiner TO send a man over
after him, which was done. When the
man reached Seattle, however, the law
yers got busy, just as they did in the
Thaw case, only not so much so be.
cause the boy did not have as much
money as Thaw, but they stopped Hol-
lands removal from the state. The
person sent after him had no wad to
spend fighting to get him, and re-
porting conditions to DR.. Steiner, was
told to come home.
1t was shown that the man was dan.
gerous to be at large, and when the
lawyers got through, or got what mon.
ey was in sight, the authorities wired
DR., Steiner again to send over and get
him, He replied that the state of Ore.
gon had done all that was required of
her, and that If Washington wanted to
keep Holland, it was welcome to him.
"Does this mean that you will not
send for him3" wired an official, and
he was told that it meant exactly that.
The result was that the Seattle Off
cials brought the man to Portland, and
turned him over to the sheriff, and he
was brought here Sunday.
