W. L. Sellars - Insane

Mr. W. L. Sellars, of Worthville, became insane on Friday and becoming boistrious and violent had to be brought to Jackson and placed in jail for safe keeping, both for himself and the public.  On yesterday a jury was empanelled and he was tried and adjudged a lunatic.  His mental condition is such that he will be sent to the asylum as soon as he can be admitted.  We sympathize with this unfortunate man and trust he will soon recover.

W. L. Sellars

Mr. W. L. Sellars, who was adjudged a lunatic one day last week, was carried to Milledgeville on Friday by Sheriff Beauchamp and Mr. W. F. Stodghill and placed in the asylum.  While being confined here he would, at times, become a raving maniac and no one would venture into his cell, but on the day he was carried away he had become quiet and gave his guards no trouble while on the road.  We trust that under the skillful treatment of the physicians under whose care he has been placed he will soon recover.
