The Newark Insurance Agent Too Hi to Ex-
plain his Absence.


plain His Absence.
]. Charles Clarke. the insurance agent who
had been mysteriously absent from his homo at
81 Jay street. Newark. N. j., since Jan. 8. has
been found. He is now at home and under the
care of q physician. He is said to be suffering
with some form OF dementia.
Clarke, who had for seven years been en-
ployed by the Metropolitan Insurance Com
pany. disappeared on Jan. 8 after having col
lected about $50. His accounts with his en-
ploycrs were all right, with a balance in his
favor. On last Friday morning his wife re-
ceived n note scrubbed on n scrap OF paper In
such a way that she could hardly believe 1t was
written by her husband. 1t was dated at Balti-
more on Thursday afternoon, and read:
For Gods sake. tell me what / have done or I will
20 crazy.
Mrs. Clarke took tho earliest train for Balti-
more and returned to Newark about 8 o'clock
Saturday night. Her husband was with her.
She declined to tell where she found him, but
said that he returned willingly with her. She
has as yet been unable to learn anything as to
his doinRs while away.
Clarke Is about 40 years old, and while an
officer in the British Army In India contracted n
fever. It is thought by some Of his friends that
the malady may have reassertcd itself and
caused temporary insanity.
