 SAD CONDITION Found Wading a Stream Near
 Louisville, Ky.
SAID HE HAD LOST HIS WIFE
He Left Birmingham About a Week Ago and Had Not Been Heard of Since Until Reported in
 Jail at Louisville <

a
 Norton D. Whitley, well-known Bir- mingham young man, is in the county jail at Louisville, Ky, awaiting the arrival of his people, who will bring him back to Birmingham MT Whitley was for some time assistant city auditor, and at one time was in the office of County Road Commissioner J. F. B. Jackson. His moth CT is Mrs. Frank Gardner of this city. Whitleys mother and family reside in this city, and his wife, formerly Miss Harris, is also in the city at present. MT. Whitley left here about a week ago, and for several days nothing was known to his wherea- bouts but it was not supposed that any thing was the matter with him.
 He is reported to be in a demented con- dition at Louisville, and it is stated that he was discovered wading a deep stream, and when questioned replied that he was look ing for his wife, whom he had lost there. The following from the Louisville Dispatch of last Friday tells the story of his condi- tion:
 Louisville police are much interested in the case of Norton D. Whitley who says he is Assistant Auditor of the city of Birmingham, Ala. Whitley is at present confined in the county jail in a demented condition and his ramblings have set the officers wondering what has become of his wife, as it is evident from his talk that he is married.
 Whitley was discovered yesterday short ly before noon by pr. Ernest Rowe Of the State Sanitarium. Dr. Rowe happened to look over Beargrass creek and observed man wadng in the stream up to his arm pits and plunging his head under at every few steps. Dr. Rowe went down-to where he was. Between plunges the man gesticu- lated and muttered.
 "Dr. Rowe asked him what he was doing and the wader of streams replied:
 q am looking for my wife. I los her from the carriage"
 "Dr. Rowe, to allure the unfortunate from the water, explained that his wife was waiting for him up at the Sanitarium. He got the man up to the Sanitarium, and after an hour or two succeededain calming him somewhat He told Dr. Rowe that his name was Norton Whitley, and that he was Assistant City Auditor of Birming ham, but any questions as to his wife ex- cited him greatly and set him to raving. Dr. Rowe called patrol wagon and had Whitley removed to the county jail The police were unable to get a coherent story out of the man, whose .dementia seemed to be the result of alcoholism. An nvesti- gaton showed that he had stopped at the Hotel Victoria Monday and Tuesday, but after that he disappeared. His wife was not with him when he stopped at the ho- tel"
