Mur- ray was arrested after complaints had reached the officer that he was acting strangely in the neighborhood of the place of arrest, He imagined that he was playing golf and was , swinging a stick at an imaginary ball. Each time, he thought that he hit the sphere and it would enter 1 someone's house and Murray would | walk right in in search of 1t. He was forcibly elected from several houses, but each time he took an- other spiritual golf ball from his pocket. made very carefully a well moulded tee and would start over again. His actions wre so persistent that the owners of the houses com plained and he was arrested. He stated that he remembered nothing when in court.
