New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-07-01
DID HIS LOSS DRIVE HIM INSANE?
Carl schwaderer, Robbed in Mime
apoIis Some Months Ago, is
now in an Asylum.

What had become of Carl SchWade-
rer? That was a question that had
been bothering the police of Mime,
apolis and New Ulm for more than
two months. Now they know.
Schwaderer is the carpenter, who
after working about New Ulm for
number of years and accommodating a.
small fortune which he had invested
in certificates of deposit in a New Ulm
bank, went to Minneapolis on a visit.
There he was robbed, and instead of
reporting his case to the police as he
should have done, he returned to New
Olm and was picked up on the streets
one night in an intoxicated condition
that made it impossible for him to
tell where he had been or what had
happened to him.
Later he tried to collect his money
from the bank, but the bank refused
payment without the certificates. Then
he disappeared and nothing was heard
from him or his case until in April
the Minneapolis police reported that
they were in possession of certificates
of deposit issued in favor of Carl
Schwaderer by the State Bank of New
Ulm. The certificates had been found
under a sidewalk in Minneapolis,
where they had evidently been con-
cealed by the robbers who feared to
attempt to cash them.
Inquiry was then made for SchWad-
erer but without success until last
week when it was ascertained that he
was an inmate of the hospital for in
sane at ST. Peter.
The failure of the police to find the
man before this is attributed to the
fact that there is no general system by
which officials of one public institu-
ton can know of the doings of the
others. Neither police nor county Off
Gals are furnished with lists of in
mates of state institutions, and several
times persons sought by city Or coun-
ty officials have been found too late
in some state institution.
Had the authorities in Minneapolis
been able to locate him in April per-
haps his mental troubles might have
been averted.
AS it is, it will be necessary to ap-
point guardian for the unfortunate
man before his money can be with
drawn from the banks.
The Springfield Advance kindly
dishes out this measure of praise to
Judge of Probate Ross: SEVER since
his incumbency the Office has been in
most competent hands and if his con-
stitutents have regard for thor
oughly able and painstaking county
officer he will be reelected without OPP
position.
