The crazy man who was arrested and taken to Sherman said his name was J.F. Studdard and that his mother resides in Caddo parish, Louisiana.
He had in his possession a letter addressed to "J.F. Studdard, Ferrit [sic], Ellis county, Texas."  The letter was mailed at Dallas, May 9, 1884.  The poor fellow is hopelessly insane.  He is about 33 years old.
