New Britain herald., 1915-04-01

officer from New York coming in on the 1850 train, suddenly made so de- termined q struggle for his liberty that Superintendent George kibbe of the New Britain Town farm, who had charge of him, was obliged to summon Officer William Ritchie of Kensington for assistance. 5..
 The disturber was Frederick Cox, middle-aged man, who came to New Britain March from New York state to visit his mother, Mrs. Lucy Rice Of Dwight street, and who, because of his peculiar actions, was sent to the Town farm by the New Britain police. He remained there until March IS. when he succeeded in escaping, but after he had been out but one day, the Hardware city police re-captured him and returned him to the home. It was he who frightened the young girls of the north section of New Britain by following them. .#
 Satisfied that it would be practically Impossible to break away again. Cox made the request last week that he be allowed to return to his uncle in Ridgewood N. Y. With the permis- sion of Assistant State Comptroller Terry and the sanction of the uncle in question, Superintendent Kibbe de- cided to grant his wish.
 Accordingly, he made arrangements whereby an officer from Ridgewood vas to meet him at the Berlin depot and take Cox back to the Empire state. He made the trip to the station in his automobile and experienced no trouble with the lunatic until he brought him into the waiting room. NJ l,a them than Cox, laboring under the delusion that he was being duped into going peacefully to the insane asylum at Middletown. began struggling for his liberty As MT. Kibpe had not handcuffed him. he was having quite d tussle to hold his prisoner when Ticket Agent Max Sugenhime, per- ceiving the trouble, telephoned for Officer Ritchie. .. <.
 Although Cox fought madly, Messrs. ,1kibbe and Ritchie, with the aid of John Soloman finally succeeded ln clapping handcuffs about his wrists. But this was not sufficient. He still struggled viciously and the authori- ties did not have him under control until they procured a rope and tied his legs. In the meantime, the New York train came in and pulled out and Superintendent Kibbe was not able to deliver his man into the GUS tody of the officer who came up for him. &r i'.
 Realizing that to struggle further was useless, the lunatic spent his wrath in swearing at passengers in the waiting room and different mem hers of a curious crowd which had congregated. He singled out one particular Kensington young man who sported a red necktie and, in plain language, told him what would be his fate if they would only let go one of his arn1s.' Said sport sprinted down the platform at mile-a- minute clip and if the whisperings of the multi tude are founded on fact, he is still running.
 MT. Kibbe brought his man to the Hartford station in the afternoon and therc met the officer from New York. He learned that Cox recently spent twelve years in Mattcawan and that about three years.
