HENRY GRADY FOUND.
Young Man Was Walking About in
DaZed Condition

Henry w. Grady of Atlanta Ga who dis
appeared five days ago from Norfolk. Va
where he was visiting with his wife, and for
whom an alarm had been sent out all oyer
the country, was discovered in New York
city yesterday by a friend.
Mr.. Grady was in an enfeebled condition
of mind and body. He was dazed, unable
TO account for his presence here and only
with extreme effort could recall his own
name. The sufferer Is being cared for in O.
private sanitarium.
With his wife Mr. Grady was in New York
last week visiting rela tives and friends. He
was then in the best Of spirits, and so far as
was known, his health was perfect. They
left fo- Atlanta last Thursday, and were to
have stopped few days in Norfolk, Va. On
Friday Mr.. Grady told his wife that he
would go across the river to Portsmouth to
have their tickets extended and failed to re-
turn.
From the first his friends asserted that he
had either met foul play or had wandered
away while under a temporary alteration
Of mind. His habits had always been
temperate and regular. and no good reason
could be given for his absenting himself Of
his own volition.
Mr. Grady Is the son of the late Henry w.
Grady. and from him he inherited a gener-
Gus fortune. He is part owner Of the Allan
ia Constitution, and he has other large in
terests in Georgia. His wife before her
marriage was Miss Grace Gould Of ST.
Louis. 1Hey nave son ABOUT 1Our years
Of age.
Late in the afternoon old friend of Mr.
Grady, while passing through City Hall
Park came face to face with the man The
friend Immediately recognized and spoke to
Mr.. Grady, but was unable to obtain from
him any sign that the recognition was NUT
ual. 1t was apparent that he was unable to
care for himself.
Others who have long known Mr.. Grady
were sent for, but no one was able to arouse
him from his heavy lethargy. To inquiries
he said that his name was Grady and he
mumbled something about Boston, indicat-
ing that he thought that he was In that
city. He also spoke of trying to find boat
to take him home. Mention of his wife and
baby had no effect upon him.
From his appearance Mr. Grady must
have been wandering ever since he left his
wife last Friday. His face was covered
with a five days growth OF beard, and,
though he is - nature most scrupulous In
his personal appearance, he was when found
yesterday unkempt in the extreme. He
was emaciated, and, though he refused
FOOD, he had the physical appearance of one
who had tasted for q week.
The physicians who examined him last
night said that 1t was impossible to tell un-
t,l after observation that would last several
days what chance he has Of recovery They
admitted that he 10 in a serious state. and
