WILSON - George - demented

Source: Greencastle Herald 20 Sept 1911 p 4

George Wilson, the demented man now confined in the county jail gave Sheriff Stroube and Deputy Sheriff Kelley no little trouble on Tuesday night. Wilson repeatedly shouted for help, saying that the soldiers of the state militia were in the jail yard and that they had come to destroy him.  The man shouted and screamed during the greater part of the night.  Early Wednesday morning he called to the officers and told them that Governor Marshall had ordered the soldiers to kill them.
