Brought Fawley Back From Longcliffe Asylum.

Ben Oglesby, who was deputized by Sheriff Hoover, went to the asylum near Logansport Tuesday and that evehing brought back to Rensselaer Ed Fawley, the Fair Oaks man who assaulted and almost killed John Stowers and who served a nine months’ jail sentence for having done so. After he had been in jail for several months his wife called to see him one day and he assaulted her and severely beat her at the jail. He was then pronounced insane and sent to the asylum, where he remained until Tuesday. Just after going to the asylum Fawley followed his fighting tactics and assaulted and about knocked out seven of the patients. He soon came about all right, however, and for the past two months he has been getting on so well that the authorities discharged him. Fawley claims that he is now entirely cured and that he realizes that he was insane for some time. Since he was as [at] the asylum his wife has procured a divorce, but Ed says that he hopes to adjust things with his wife and to again live with her. He says that he knows now that he can behave himself and will do so.
