Even to DR.. Honiker, however, he
could give very little information as to
his wanderings. DR.. Honiker realized
the man would have TO be detained
somewhere until he could be carried
back home and telephone message
was sent TO police headquarters. Ar
rangements were made to care for
him there until some of his relatives
can come for him. Bassett simply

after he reached the station house and
advised the authorities to hold him
until he could be turned over to rela-
