We are not in favor of coddling con-

been carried too far. Prisoners should
not be made to feel that they are mar

of them have much of it-should be
encouraged and strengthened. 1t is
probable that large proportion of

BRRRY'S MIND A BLANK
STRANGE ACTIONS OF 4 PRoVI-
 DENCE YOUNG MAN.

Insisted That He Was fin Providence and That Yesterday Was the Fourth or JuIy-His Conversation With ser- geant Cook at Police Headquarters- Taken Home Yesterday.
 Rainey G. Berry, the twenty-four- year-old son of Gordon Berry, of Prov idence, strolled into police headquarters at f o'clock yesterday morning and told Sergeant Cook that an officer had sent him in there, the officer telling him that lie was lost and that he had better go to police headquarters and explain things.
 The young man had not been drinking and was of neat and gentlemanly ap- pearance. Sergeant Cook questioned him at length, and before many min utes he discovered that young Berrys mind was blank, apparently, and that he could not tell anything about his ac- tions since he left for work on Thurs day morning in Providence. Berry said that his father had been connected with the Rumford Chemical company, of Providence, for the past twenty-five years, and that he was employed by the Metropolitan Insurance company He stopped a policeman on the street yesterday morning and asked him to direct him to a car that would take him to Governor street. This is a street in Providence. The policeman said there was no such street in New Haven. Young Berry spoke up and said that he was not in New Haven. but in Provi- dence, and the two had quite an argu- ment on the corner. By this time the patrolman saw Berry's condition and he took him to headquarters.
 Berry tried to explain things there, and insisted that yesterday was the Fourth of July and that he had just come from his home.
 s'.Why, this is the ninth of July. my young man." said Sergeant Cook. "You're a little mixed in your dates"
 .Well, isn't this Providence?" Berry said.
 No, sir; you're now in New Haven, Conn" replied the sergeant.
 This was a sticker for Berry and he Ilndliy Salu that ne ulu not knOW now he got here or when he left home. He said that when he left home on July 3 he carried a gold watch and $7 0in mon- ey, and yesterday he said he was 'broke." The watch was still on his person, and there were no signs that the young man had been the victim of Knockout drops or anything of the sort Sergeant Cook telephoned to the Prov idence police, telling all he knew of the man. and yesterday afternoon two of Berrys relatives came to New Haven and to police headquarters and took him with them. They were thankful for all the local police had done for Der. ry, and seemed very happy to find him The two, who were women, got out as soon as possible and left for Providence on an early train last night
