to East Albany last night, who notified
Chief Moriorl Of his strange behavior.
lie was found with his clothes all wet,
near the upper bridge. He was just
getting ready to swim out to q key
that was floating down the river.
Aztec considerable difficulty he was
got tn the station house and locked up.
lie said As they were taking him to
the station house that he would find
his fathers body If he had to search
the river all the way to New York.
The men who came down with him
were obliged to walk back, as they
had no money to pay their fare. In
with Officer Van Hise he
said that it was useless to keep him
there. and that If he had eight cents
he could paw his fare home. his wife
was home alone and that he had three
children. When asked about his
father being drowned he dropped his
head and said, II was looking or father"
When told that his father had been
found and that his body was home. he
