Striking Stranger in Batavia Brings Wreck of Plans
A well dressed stranger, William Joyce, visited Batavia about ten days ago. He claimed to invent an air controlling device and handed out cash to a crowd of urchins. He left for Pine Bluff Arkansas, where he supervises a machine shop, later becoming violent on a Memphis train, drawing his revolver and being wounded. He had $1400 on him and was to marry a Pine Bluff woman next Sunday. The episode is blamed on influenza.
