SENT TO BELLEVUE
FOR THREATS TO
BLOW UP BANKERS
E. N. Breitung Plays Detective
and Aids in Nabbing Anony-
nous Letter Writer.

John ". Faedmon, No. $50 Riverside
Drive, who admits having written
threatening letters TO New York
bankers, was committed to Bellevue
Hospital for examination in the psy-
chopathic ward to-day. An afidavit
OF insanity was presented in the
Yorlville Court by Detective Mccoy
OF Deputy Police Commissioner
Lahey's stan.
Letters threatening violence and
death have been received by the
banking house of Knauth, Nachod q
Kuhne, No. 100 broadway, and by Ed
ward N. Breitung. No. IL Pine Street,
whose home is at No. 1S East 7sth
Street.
They were anonymous and no at
tenuon was paid to them until Mr..
Breitung got one threatening to blow
up his house. Then he did some de-
tective work on his own account. He
learned that the letters were all n
one handwriting and mailed at the
General Post ONCE He figured that
the work was that of an unbalanced
person, especially since most of the
letters said the writer would be rich
but for a conspiracy OF bankers
against him.
Mr.. Preitung conJured up an Image
Of the sort Of man he suspected, and
watched for such a person. He saw
Redmon lurking near his home, he
said. and decided that he was the
man. He gave a description TO the
police and Redmon was caught the
next time he approached the post
office. 1t is said that he had In his
pocket another of the threatening
letters ready to NAH.
AT his apartment the police say
they found a revolver, a blackjack
and brass knuckles. After the sanity
test, IL Redmon ib found sane, other
proceedings will be taken against
him. When questioned by Magis-
trate Frothingh0m the prisoner ad-
mitted sending the letters and said
he had known Mr.. Breitung for ten
years. He repeated the charge that
his poverty was due to a conspiracy
OF hankers."
