Dr Htall, of New | York, 4 Crazy Man, New Youn, v. 30.—As Dr. John Hail, pastor of the Fitth Avenue Pres- byterian church, was passing from the church to the parsonage adjoining, just after the close of the morning service Sunday, John G. Rath, a German, 45 years o!d, stepped from behind a wag- on on the opp: site of the avenue and fired three ts in qui the reverend < Succession at gentleman as he was about to ascend the steps of his resi- dence The t shot str of the ductors hou < the stone stoop , the second per- forated one of the glass panels of the front door and the third flattened itself against the side of the house, The man was pronp:ly arrested. The prisoner was evidently not in his right mind. He muttered about a con- spiracy which he imagined existed against him and papers tound on his person showed the bias of his imagin- ings. There were two of these docu- ments, one ia manuseript and the other | printed, but both substantially the |same. The printed paper was more | circumstantia! in the history of the al- leged conspiracy to drive the writer to suicide or crime. It stated that agents | in the hands of wealthy and influen- tial peopie were doing ali in their power to prevent him from rising in business, were watching all of his steps and making it impossible for him to obtain justice. His tormentors, too, he said, mix his food with obnoxious stuff, thereby causing him intense dis- tress. The conspiracy,.he declares, was inaugurated in 1889, and has no equal in human histo The state- ment goes on in this style at great length and clearly shows that the author was a man of unbalanced mind. The document intimates that Dr. Hall, Dr. Potter, and Jndge Hilton were the chief conspirators, while Mrs. A. T. Stewart was, itintimated, a good friend of his. THE STRIP “SOLD.
