Hyatt Fit Subject for Special Treatment. Charles F. Hyatt, fifty-six years old, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Policeman Gibson of the sixth precinct, and locked up in order that his mental condition might be determined. He had a room at No. 311 D street northwest, 2nd had told the land- ledy he was a wealthy man. The United States government, he said, was trying to deprive him of his wealth. Recently he ap- plied to the Associated Charitles for aid. A few days ago he called upon Superintend- ent Parkhurst of postal station G, in the Union building, and told him a story con- cerning two lost battle ships. He said he could locate them for the government, but not until he had been paid $5,000 for his services. Inspector Boardman last night received a letter from the chief of police of Augusta, Ga., making inquiries concerning Hyatt. It aj pears from information given in the let- ter that Hyatt, who is a native of England, married a woman named Andre near Au- gusta, Ga., several years ago. They went to New York, where Hyatt, the chief says, was put in an asylum, and his wife re- turned to Georgia. Hyatt has recently scnt a number of threatening letters to a citizen of Augusta, charging that the lat- ter was preventing his (Hyatt’s) wife from returning to him. The citizen was so greatly annoyed that he made complaint. Hyatt says he has a stepbrother and sister living at 210 31st street, New York city. The unfortunate man was examined this afternoon by Dr. Nevitt, who decided that he was a fit subject for treatment at St. Elizabeth’s Asylum. —_—_ QUESTION OF TITLE.
