STAINED by the Reports
Mr.. Hawkins was loud in his denunci-
atlou OF the city press, but admitted
that the TELEGRAM HERALD had gwen
"A perfectly fair report OF the matter
and one with when he himself could
find no fault tie said that It was the
only newspaper Mr.. Perry had seen
and that be seemed stunned when he
read the account of himself yesterday
morning.
"Do you think Mr.. Perry's mind j.
affected, as has been sratedr'
.'Well, when q man doesn't know his
wife or his own father | should think
his mind was considerably OF its base.
| saw him this morning before he wa:
out of bed, and he didn't know me fol-
time. He seemed stupid and slug
gish, but ne reused up after n time and
he has been rapidly improving ever
since. The fact is that he has never
been rigas since Ford's death. It came
To him With such suddenness that the
shock unbalanced has mind for u time.
Mrs. Perry noticed 1t Immediately.
Unbalanced His Mind.
81 presume that the fact that he was
an endorser on some of Ford's paper
added to the worry, and aggravated his
unbalanced mental condition. He had
business to transact both in Cleveland
aud Chicago, and he went there no
doubt To transact it, but he has done
nothing. I'll warrant that he doesn't
know ne has been away from home.'
"Do you think he u all right now?'
NEARLY so.' replied Mr.. Hawkins,

Perry's return. and Mr.. Hawkins and
Thomas Nester were almost gleeful-
Mr.. Perry's position Will be a little
embarrassing for q few days, and ne
will have a great many inquiries TO re-
spond to. Mr.. Hawkins said that ne
would be pretty apt to visit the otfiee:
OF one or two newspapers and inter
view the proprietos with a big club.
"The papers should wait until ali the
facts are known and a thorough Inves-
tIgation has been made before they
publish an article IN case. like this, y
