where he comes from, is being retain.
ed by the police here as he Is thought
TO be insane. Last night he came to
the police headquarters to look for

tons led the police to believe he is

The police were at first unable to
call Rockdale so call was sent in
through Joliet and Captain Fox of the
local police department got in connec-
ton with the mayor Of Rockdale who
stated that he knew Of no one of that
name and that he asked several 9th.
Ter people and none of them knew
Of him.
After he had asked for lodging last
night and had been placed in cell In
the city Jail he raved and tried to
break out of the housegOw. His condi.
ton was much worse this afternoon
and he crouches in one side of his cell
like a wild animal when he is ap
1 preached. Chief Ford stated that he
will remove him to the county Jail this
afternoon and place him In the padded
cell as he might harm himself il left
in the cell any longer.
The police will continue to try tC
4 find out more about his whereabouts
] If possible to see If he is an escaped
half-wit or not. II no more can be
learned of him he will be arranged
before Judge Reck and given sanity
