Disappeared on July ID.
Judge r. Clarkson, who disappeared
from his home in Kenosha, Wis, July
IA. was found working as common
laborer in a button factory at Sabu1a,
Ill, few miles from where ne
was located eighteen years ago after ne
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 eX-
istence of John Paul, cutter and whittier
Of clam shells. In place of the laborer
the world was given back the Jurlst OUT
of whose life weeks have been cut by the
assertion of the other Of a strange dual
personality. ,
Under circumstances similar to this his
last lapse into the existence OF man
with personality not his own, Judge
| Clarkson disappeared from Omaha While
! sitting on the circuit bench. For weeks
he was missing and his wanderings car
| ried him to within twenty miles OF Where
| he was found. He then was WORK,
! ing in a lumber yard as Jack Doolttle.
Employed Cutting Buttons.
| When found, Judge Clarkson was bus
| ily engaged in cutting buttons, ana ne
had been so employed since July 30. He
suddenly came to his senses when IN
| formed that he was Judge Garrison and
said that he was happy that ne nao peen
| found.
He was located by John Burns, who
was employed by q. 6. Simmons, presl
dent of the Simmons Manufacturing
company. Mr.. Burns had been trailing
the missing man through Iowa for two
weeks. and he was close behlna nun
when he was informed by L. A. Haynes,
farmer living near Sabula, that he be-
| Iieved Judge Clarkson had applied to
him for work on July &c, and had been
turned away because the laying was
| finished
Mr.. Haynes had seen the pictore 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.
Likss Manual Labor.
Perhaps the most puzzling phase of
Judge Clarksop's case is the fact as
he states it, that while suffering, from
l5cE & memory of his true identity he
had an ,incessa9t- desire to do manual
labor. It was that same unaccountable
desire that held him eighteen years ago,
I'D to the time he was found working in
a sawmill at Clinton, Ia.
Judge Clarkson will arrive at Keno
sha this morning. His wife was over.
