EMORY p. CLOSE INSANE.
The United states District Attorney at Buff

BUFFALO Oct 15-Emory p. Close. United
States Attorney OF the Northern District OF
New York, was taken to the Buffalo State
Hospital for the Insane yesterday. a victim OF
paresis Mr. Closes friends have known for
some time that he was losing his mind. Last
summer his mental condition was I'M
settled that he had to leave the trial
of important cases to his office associates and
seek rest at the seashore. He came back some-
what improved. but quickly declined again.
On Saturday morning he spent two hours in
his paror shaving himself. Then he decorated
his coat with n lot OF old badges and election
buttons and went downtown He told friends
who inquired after his health that he was now
seven and half feet high and next week would
be worth 100000. His conduct became
so irrational that his friends took him to the
asylum.
Worry over financial troubles and official
duties is believed to have caused Mr. Closes
insanity. Just as he was entering upon most
successful career at the bar he became ilnan-
cially EN- barrassed through real estate specu-
lation and endorseme nts m ade for his brother,
Charles ]. Close. q builder He lost his
handsome home on Delaware avenue and was
compelled to file petition In bankruptcy.
Mr.. Close was ono OF the original Mckinley
men OF western New York. and although OPP
posed by the organization for the appointment
as District Attorney. he was held in such
high regard by President Mckinley that he
won easily. He is not yet 40 years of age. In
ten years he had made his way from court
stsnographer to man ership in n leading law
firm. and the achievement OF his higher ambi-
tions seemed in sight. District Attorney
George Il. Quinby OF Erie county was afflicted
in the same way.
