Walter Hewitt Sent To Pontiac

Walter Hewitt, of Ypsilanti, the 18 years old lad who became violently insane Tuesday night, was taken to the Pontiac asylum yesterday, and Wednesday, Dec. 9, his hearing will come off before Probate Judge Watkins.

Young Hewitt, who is the son of Arthur Hewitt, 311 River street, Ypsilanti, had recently returned from St. Joseph's Retreat at Dearborn. He exhibited symptoms of a return of his malady, however, and Tuesday night Drfl Herdman of this city was called to investigate the case preparatory to having the young man sent to Pontiac. While the interview was taking place the patient leaped from a second story window and made his escape. After being captured by Marshal Warner of Ypsilanti he was placed in the county jail.
