Another Religious Crank

Professor J. W. Shively, who calls himself the true Messiah, arrived in this city on. Thuraday, and took rooms on Sixth street. He at once addressed a letter to Fudge Cox, Judge Porter and others con-nested with the Guiteau trial to convince them of the fallacy of Guitoau's alleged inspiration. In the letter to Judge Cox he demanded to be put upon the stand to confront Guiteau and to tell the Court where and how to find this awful duty of the Republican party. The police were notified, and this morning arrested him. Ho will be sent to an insane asylum today.

December 7th.
