NEW YORK, Sept. 2J.-The dlscom-
fort of sleepless night in a narrow and
bedless cell which was experienced by
Paul 0. Stensland, the former president
of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank,
Chicago, who was returned from Moroc'
co last night, was followed today by ad'
ditional unpleasant details of police eX-
animation.
StensIand was lined up early today Al

fication bureau, where he was measured
in accordance with the Bertillon sys'

for the file at police headquarters.
Son Supports His Father.
The former bank president spent =
slecpless night and was in n condition
of sem-prostratiOn. He tottered from
his cell and leaned heavily on his son.
Stcnsland was during the afternoon
removed 10 the Office of the district at
t0rney. where the formalities incident TO
his removal to Chicago were carried out.
