MISSING BALTIMORE
MAN in NEWARK
Young Man Found Wander
ink Here Was Subject
10 Melancholia

Much curiosity was aroused last
Sunday afternoon by the mystery
surrounding young man who en-
tered Newark from the direction of
Wilmington about / o clock, walked
up Main st. and was coming down
again when he fell unconscious in
front Of Y. A. Young's. pool room.
lie was taken to the home of Mr..
Harrlgan on Academy street, being
later removed to the Washington
House. Upon regaining conscious
ness il was found he was unable to
speak and, although able to hear
and comprehend perfectly well, was
obliged to write replies to questions
asked him. 1t was learned he was
Edmund j. Holland, % years old,
Of 22O6 Pennsylvania Ave, Balti-
more. He was unable to give
any account Of his movements since
last Wednesday, at which time he
was in Brooklyn, n. Y, the inter
vening time until his awakening in
Newark being a blank except for a
few hazy recollections. and his pre-
sence i'll this town was a complete
mystery to him.
His family were notified by tele-
gram of his presence here and later
i'll the day brother, Charles Hol-
land, accompanied by friend, ar
rived in Newark and took the
young man home to relieve the anX-
iety of the mother, who has but re-
Gently recovered from a serious i'll
ness and it was feared the effect on
her Of the excitement and worry
would cause a relapse.
Young Holland left home the
beginning of last week without tell
ing the family Of his intention, who
learned Of his departure from a
neighbor who had seen him board
ing trolley with two suit cases.
Nothing further was heard of him
until Friday when a card post
marked Philadelphia was received
by his family saying he would ar
rive home that day. Failing to do
: so the father and another brother
) went to Philadelphia. and with the
aid of the police were searching for
, him. when notified Of his arrival in
Newark.
It was learned he had been in
iured in an accident about year
ago and has since been subject to
attacks Of melancholia, and 1t Is
thought while under the influence
of one of these attacks he started
on his queer trip.
, The last time he remembers
, speaking was to tobacco dealer
: in Brooklyn. n. Y, on Wednesday
. November 14th. A ferry check
{ showed that he had crossed to
= Jersey City. after which he came
to Philadelphia, probably by way OF
the Pennsylvania railroad, as he re
calls seeing a number OF large
| stores opposite the depot in PhiIa
delphia. which was probably Broac
st. Station.
In his pockets was found bridge
check to Brandywine Summit, als'
: = trolley check of the People
l Line. Wilmington, but he had no
!, the slightest recollection OF having
i been in either place. He had prob
= ably walked quite distance as nj
u shoes were worn through com
!, pletely.
Both suit cases a gold watch tn
d broken chain of which was foun'
f in his pocket, a pair of diamond
f cuff links. and 20 dollars he claimed
4 having in New York were mlssln'
r and it is possible he had been ROB
e bed. A receipt showed, however
n that both suit cases had been eS
: pressed home. but from where coul'
not be learned.
