CONHAIM SANE,
AND is SET FREE
Suspects Case Mystities Doc
tors and Police.

Richard j. Contain, the professed
agent for a Newport cigarette firm, whose
extravagant notions of furnishing a suite
of offices in G street excited the sus-
picions of Detectives Warren and Mullin
to such degree that they questioned
his sanity, caused his arrest on a tech
nical charge and had him confined for
examination in the Washington Hospital
Asylum, was discharged from that in
st!tution yesterday afternoon.
Alienists had him under close obser-
walton for two days, and during that
time the patient displayed perfectly nor
NAL faculties. and his conduct was that
of an entirely sane man.
Conhaim regards his arrest and exam
ination as an outrage. and. while the de-
tectives have been doing their utmost
to make a case against him, their most
strenuous efforts have not unearthed any
evidence Of guilt in any act of Con-
hahn that they have so far discovered
The case has thoroughly mystified all
who are interested in Contains 8
operations in the city. Great weight Is
attached by those from whom he rented
the suite of Offices and bought the furni-
ture and fittings of his apartments to the
fact that the company he represented
asserted that he was in their employ
only two days. and was then discharged.
This is the assertion Of the detectives.
and is regarded as the justification for
his examination.
Contain claims that he can give salts
factory explanation Of his actions and
that all was perfectly correct. He is in
dignant over the treatment he has re-
ceived and asserts his innocence OF
wrongdoing.

SAVES TINY LAD

Slipping from a chair on which he

waiian boy named Kalani. yesterday
fell twenty feet from u balcony OF a
tenement house and landed on his
head. People who saw the accident
rushed to the scene and carried the
inert little figure across the road ia
the board of health laboratory, which
was nearby. Women screamed and
all made sure that he was dead. Tho
verdict was, however, that except Tor
a bruise on the forehead there was
no other injury.
The case Is one of those remark
able freak accidents that, II incor-
porated into n magazine story, no one
will believe. The little fellow was
playing on the balcony OF the tene-
ment house and curiosity led to him
to bring out chair, stand on 1t, and
hang over the railing In order to see
what was going on down In the street
below.
Underneath the spot where he was

that attracted the attention Of passers
by and looking up they saw the child
coming headfrst for the sidewalk.
