A blurb in the St. Paul Daily Globe in May of 1891 seems to indicate that a bank robbery led to his confinement at the hospital. It reads:
"William E. Adams has been declared insane. Had he got away with that money from the Citizens bank, he would have been called a smart thief."
Another article, dated August 30, 1891, reads:
"William Adams in Town
Rumor has it that William Adams, the bank robber, is abroad in the land again. He is the man who attempted to rob the Citizens' bank in broad day, was caught, was adjudged insane on trial and was sent to the Rochester asylum for the insane. Whether Adams has recovered and been released, or whether he has escaped, is not known. He has been seen by several person who know him. Some of his former acquaintances who have met him and conversed with him since his return say that he still gives utterance to expressions that seem to come from a mind not in perfect balance."
Cause of death: Exhaustion in general paresis
