CAUSES INSANITY
FAIRFIELD MAN BROODS OVER
ALLEGED CONNECTION WITH
SUPPOSED CRIME. T.

supposed crime Of which he believed
himself suspected, caused Arthur Bry-
an, aged 80, years and caretaker OF the
fire departments team, to lose his
mind last evening and attempt suicide.
lie drank posion which, however, his
stomach refused TO keep down, thereby
saving his life. This morning he made
another effort to take posion and when
frustrated, became violent and was in
curcerated and later taken to Mt.
Pleasant. ~
A practical joke is the cause of the
unfortunate affair and the perpetrators
thereof are being hunted for by the
postal authorities. Bryan was ap-
prised by some young fellows that a
man had been murdered and the body
hidden in an ash pile behind the fire
station where he (Bryan) worked.
Theyintimated that Bryan was under
suspicion and followed up their state
ment to him with numerous post cards
sent through the mail and calculated
to still further brighten him. He
brooded over the matter until he be-
came insane.
Last night he went to the home of
ar uncle east Of Fairfield and there he
first tried to end his life. This morn
ing he returned to Fairfield, went to
the hospital where he endeavored to
induce cousin to purchase him more
poison. When his request was refused
he went stark mad.
j. B. Ashmead was also committed
to the hospital at Mt. Pleasant today.
He is suffering from the delusion that
he has cancer Of the stomach. Yes
terday he visited clinic at the Jeffer-
son county hospital and endeavored to
have the physicians there operate on
him. He was rural mall carrier
working out of Fairfield.
