Anton Ruteliuk, Who Threatened to
Kill Supt. HOtchkiss ofFthe Insane

southwest of Sawyer, who was arrest
ed last week, charged with threaten
ing to kill DR.. Hotchkiss, superintend-
emit of the state hospital for the in
sane at jamestown, has been adjudg-
ed insane and will be taken to James,
town this week.
Ruteliuk's wife died at the hospital
in June, following an illness from the
flu, after she was on the road to re-
covery from her mental trouble and
the husband worried so much over the
loss of his wife that he went insane
He imagined that DR.. Hotchkiss was
responsible for his wife's death and
sent him letters threatening to kill
him unless the superintendent depos-
tied $4,000 to Ruteliuk's account in a
Sawyer bank. It is believed that with
proper treatment, Ruteliuk will sson
be normal, as he is insane only on the
one subject.
Ruteliuk was married IA years
