SANITY QUESTIONED
BECAUSE
Fred w. Pleuler So Asserts in Testi-
mony Before Board of Insanity
Commissioners.
WOULD REFORM THE CITY HALL

Fred w. Pleuler testified before
the Douglas County Insanity board
yesterday he had been charged with
insanity and arrested as a. result Of
his attempt to secure a nomination
for city commissioner at the an
preaching election.
my aunt, Mrs. Henrietta Rrandes,
who filed the complaint, was op-
posed to my making campaign, be-
lieving l had no chance to win, and
objected to my spending money for
expenses" he asserted. Testimony
of witnesses indicated that Pleuler 8
attempt to withdraw money from a
fund belonging to him in Mrs.
Brandes' charge to pay expenses was
the direct cause of the filing of the
complaint.
Pfeuler at the close of tho hearing was
released by the insanity board He agreed
to withdraw from the rsee for a city COM
missionership.
Ray Beselin, Pleulers former employer
appeared TO assist him.
Although Robert Smith member OF the
insanity board. declared the board did
not consider that desire to obtain pub
lie office was evidence of insanity
Pleuler was questioned at length concern
ing his political aspirations. He testified
that he had ordered 100000 cards and
other advertising devices to be printed
and that he had attempted to withdraw
a portion of his money TO pay for them.
Many Candidates Mistaken.
How this evidence should be considered
seemed to puzzle the insanity board
since 1t is certain that approximately 100
other candidates are going to be mis-
taken in their opinion that they have a
chance to be city commissioners. Should
such a notion be considered an insane
delusion. the commissioners wondered.
Put all defeated candidates for office
in ssylums," was one rational sugges-
tion.
Pleuler testified he had been told there
was crookedness in the city hall and that
there was a political gang in Omaha. II
elected he intended to reform conditions,
he said.
MI. Smith questioned Pleuler at some
length concerning his proposed reforms,
but Pleuler declined to confide his plans,
understanding that Mr.. Smith himself is
politician who knows the vote getting
value OF reform schemes.
Henry Kcssler an uncle OF Pleuler,
testified in his behalf Pleuler admitted
that ne was subject 10 attacks of melan-
choly but asserted his belief that he
was sane.
