KENOSHA, Wis. Aug t. Special
Attorney James Cavanaugh ii close
personal friend of Judge Joseph X.
Clarkson, gave out a formal statement
this morning just after 10 O'Clock in re-
gard to Mr.. Ciarkson. He said: Judge
Clarkson is at my home. He arrived Ill
kenosha late Friday night and was ut
once taken to my home and will remain
there. We have no statement to make
for him with the exception of the fact
that he is well and happy. We do not
believe that he realizes that he has
caused anyone great anxiety and he Ger
tainly is in no condition to submit to an
interview or give out a statement IN re-
gard to his recent disappearance. Judge
Clarkson will not see anyone, but II
there is any statement which he wishes
to make it will be promptly furnished to
the press
Reaches Kenosha Secretly.
The fact of the arrival OF Judge
Clarkson Friday night was not known
to many people who watched lpr MN
and it is thought that he must either
have been brought TO the city III an
automobile or that the train was stopped
before it reached the station and the
judge given q chance to leave 1t and he
taken in a carriage to the taNanauEh
home The friends of the judge do not
seem to be anxious to give out the IN
formation in regard TO the case, but AT
torney Cavanaugh stated that the rea-
son for this was that they had absolutely
nothing to give. Judge Clarkson IS SAID
to have slept well during the night, but
he did not leave the Cayanaugh home
this morning and is now III deep Seclu-
sion. Mrs. Clarkson is with her huS-
band continually and it is said that they
are happy in their reunion after the
strange and long absence of the nus
band.
Disappeared on July IA.
from his home in Kenosha. Wis, July
IA. was found working as a common
laborer in button factory at Sabula,
Ill, q few miles from where he
was located eighteen years ago after he
had strayed from Omaha, Neb., and fur
nished to the world of psychic research
one of the strangest cases on record.
In the discovery of the Wisconsin
lawyer by friends was ended the eN-
istence of John Paul, cutter and whittier
of clam shells. In place OF the lAborer
the world was given back the Jur!st out
of whose life weeks have been cut 10y the
assertion of the other of strange dual
personality.
Under circumstances similar to tins ms
last lapse into the existence of man
with a personality not his own, judge
Clarkson disappeared from Omaha Wh!ie
sitting on the circuit bench. For weeks
he was missing and his WanderngS car
ried him to within twenty miles OIL where
he was found. He then was work.
ing in n lumber yard as Jack D00llte'
Employed Cutting Buttons.
When found. Judge Clarkson was hns-
ily engaged in cutting buttons, and he
had been so employed since July 30. lie
suddenly came to his senses when IN
formed that he was Judge Garrison ana
said that he was happy that he had been
found.
He was located by John Burns, who
was employed by T.. G.. Simmons, preSl-
dent of the Simmons Manufacturing
company. Mr.. Burns had been trailing
the missing man through Iowa tor two
weeks. and he was close behind nm
when he was informed by l.. \, Haynes,
n farmer living near Sabula, that he be-
lieved Judge Clarkson had applied to
him for work ON July 26, and had been
turned away because the haying was
finished.
Mr.. Haynes had seen the picture of
Judge Clarkson in a Chicago newspaper.
He remembered him as Mr.. Doolittle, a
man who had worked for him eighteen
years ago, when Judge Clarkson disap-
peared from his home in Omaha.
Likes Manual Labor.
Perhaps the most puzzling phase of
Judge Clarkson's case is the fact, as
he states it. that while suffering from
lack of memory of his true identity he
had an incessant desire to do manual
labor. It was that same unaccountable
desire that held him eighteen years ago,
M to the time he was found working in
/ sawmil at Clinton, la.
Judge Clarkson will arrive at Keno
Mia this morning. His wife was over
,oyed when informed that the judge had
been found.
