who escap d after securing $3,000.
Tbree of the nv-n who were shot were
working In the cashier'a office and the

The robbers took no chances, but
ilisposed of all the opposition of the

THEY ARREST A LUNATIC
MAN WITH REVOLVER 41 -f STER
BAY TAKEN IN CHAhuE.
Oyster Bay, L. I. Sept. 3. A man
giving his name as Henry Weilbreuer
was arrested at Pagamore Hill late
Monday night while making a per
sistant demand to see President
Uoos-velt. The man was armed with
a rev lver, fully loaded. He was taken
to the village and placed in the town
prison.
Shortly 'after 10 o'clock Monday
niht Welbrenner drove to Sagamote
.Hill -in a chiton buggy. He was
s'opped by the secret mrvice opera
tive on duty. VVeilbrenner sa d be had
a per.ion tl engagement with the pres
ident and desired to see him. As it
was long after the. Ik urs when vis
itors were received, the officer de
clined to permit him to go to the
hou e, the man insisted, but the
o 'icer turned him away.
Sixm afterward VVeilbrenner re
turned, and again: insisted that he be
allowed to see t he president, if only
lor a minute. This time he was or
dered away and warned not to return.
Just before 11 o'clx:k the man re
turned a third time and demanded of
the officer that h should be permitted
to see the president at once. The
officer's teaponse was to take the man
from h s buggy and put him in the
stablis, where he was placed under
the guard of two stablemen. A re
volver was found in the buggy. Later
Wellbrenner was brought to the vil
lage and locked up. He is five feet,
eight inches high, twenty-eight years
of age, has a medium sized dark mus
tache, o ack eyes and evidently is of
German descent. He resides in Sy
osset, about five ml:es In'and from
Oyster Bay. lie was well dressed In
a suit of dark material and wLre an
old-fas ioned derby hat. It Is thought
by the officers that Wellbrenner was
accompanied by two other men, as
their footprints were found In the
mud alongside of the buggy tracks.
In view of this fact the officer on duty
telephoned to the village fur assistance
and was soon joined by two other sec
ret service men.
While Weilbrenner talked ration
ally to the officers Monday night it
seems evident from his conversaiion
today that. he is demented. He said
that he had received telegraphic com
munication from the pnsidcut di
recting him lo call at Sagamore Hill.
His buggy was taken to the local liv
ery barn
When asked what had become of
the riu, Weildbrenner replied;
'Oh, the president h s taken care of
it; h it's till ri'ht"
Weildbrenner Is regarded by those
who had seen him to be a dangtrous
lunatic.
At Sjosset it Is learned that the
man is the son of a truck farmer, and
is one of three brothers, He has two
sisters. The family is respectable
and Is I eld it) general esteem.
Weildorenncr, several years ago, had
a ni rvi i s a 'tick which rendered him
mentaiiy helps n r a day or two, but
his family supposed that he had been

he received at that time. Since then
he had manifested no symptoms of
mental abberatlon. He had no social
istic or anarciiislic tendenci, so far
as known, r.e er having been Interest-d
In any ques fon of the kind. He
was employed daily on his father s
farm.
Wei brenner was arraigned today
before Justice Franklin on comp alnt
of the secret e vice operatives who
paced him under arrest. Weilbren.
net's brother William was present at
the examination.
Justice Franklin questioned the
prisoner about his movements last
nlgbt. His r plies were made In a
quiet tone of voice, but they indicated,
apparently beyond a doubt, that the
nmn is crazy
When ask- d why he went to Saga
