REFUGE IN CAPITOL
ECCENTRIC CONCRESSMAN AN UNUSUAL SIECE Pr«M Association —By Telegraph—Copyright WASHINGTON, June 29. Somehow-eluding the police, .Representative Zioncheck, who escaped from a mental hospital where he was held under a lunacy warrant, reached the Capitol to-day and retired to his office, where the Capitol police protected him from arrest under the Congressional immunity law. After a siege throughout the day there, Congressional officials reached an agreement with the police to allow him to return to his home in Seattle. Thus the charge of assault on his landlady and the contemplated lunacy charge will be dropped unless he again returns to Wauington.
