Is Subject to Attacks.
At the police station today
O'Rourke stated that he was subject
to such attacks of insanity at meal
times. He said that at such times he
had an idea that bystanders were
laughing at him. and that he had a
wild desire to smash things.
He has Travelled all over the coun-
try, and these fits have attacked him
in many cities. The latest was at
Neche when he broke hotel window.
Not q Citizen.
O'Rourke appears to believe that
one reason for his troubles is the fact
that he is not an American citizen.
and for that reason took out his first
papers at Grafton few days ago.
A complaint charging O'Rourke
with insanity was sworn out this
morning. and he probably will be
given hearing before the county in
sanity board late today.
