Is Accomplistihed but Insane.

St. Louis. Mo., May 13—J. B. Leoni, who converses fi'iont.ly in French, German, Spanish. Italian, Russian and Latin as well as English, occupies a cot in the city hospital, where he is under observation for supposed insanity. Monday night he was picked up on the streets while talking to an imaginary audience. Dr. Sutter found that the left side of his skull had been crushed in, the broken fragments had been removed* and the scalp sewed back into place, leaving a soft spot of perhaps two inches in diameter. That was evidently the cause of his dementia. Leoni has a brother and father in Milwaukee, who have been notified of his condition.
