CLAPP, WITH GUN,
STOOD THEM OFF
WEALTHY MAN ARRESTED
prcAUsE HE TERRoRIzED THE
CREW OF HIS YACHT.

EriIIorfn of Savannah, a Com
pauion of II. Mason ClRpp, Swore
ont a Lunacy Warrant Against
utm-This Was a Ruse to Get Him
OF the Yacht, Where He Flour
tsbed a Gun-CIapp Well known
IN savannah and Townsville.
Norfolk, Va, April 12.-H. Mason
clam. a wealthy lawyer who has
baen living at Savannah and Thomas
vile Ca, was taken from his yacht,
the Adrienne, in the harbor to-day by
the police on a warrant sworn out by
l. Killorin of Savannah, the COM
nsnion Of Clapp. which charged lun-
acy. Clapp was sent to St. Vincent
Hospital.
It later developed that the warrant
was a ruse to get Clapp off the yacht
in order that he might be sent to
the hospital for the morphine and
whisky habit. Clapp is 80 years old.
He is divorced and has three chill
they are.
Clapp has been spending money
recklessly. The young man claims to
be the grandson OF Mason the famous
baking powder man. Mr.. Killorin, the
complainant, told a thrilling story of
how Clapp terrorized him and the
crew at sea. He said that Clapp had
for long time been i'll, and that a
physician had prescribed morphine.
Clapp seemed to be victim of the
drug, and it was decided to take him
to sea. The complainant stated that
for days and nights Clapp would walk
the decks of the yacht with a shotgun
in his hand and threatened to commit
wholesale murder.
One of the actions Of the young law
YER said the complainant, was to stick
a $40 bill in the muzzle of a shotgun
and challenge any one of the crew to
move.
Clapp appeared in court attired in
a yachtman's flannel suit. He ad-
mtted that he had become addicted
to the use of morphine because he
could not sleep. He admitted that
he had drank liquor excessively.
Clapp said that it was an outrage
to arrest him and confine him in a
hospital. He denounced his friend and
said that people were plotting against
him.
Clapp was placed in charge of Dr.
White and is at the hospital. The
yacht is tied up at the dock.
