Friends Fear
Aphasia Attack.

pA4oo4o E1OVOGhs
That the contractor, broken under
the strain OF his several large under
takings, is mentally unbalanced and
wandering among strangers, Is a theory
advanced by several of his friends II
may be that he has been attacked by
aphasia. a mental shock which leaves
one without memory, without knovi-
edge of ones own name or residence.
But this is hardly likely, when it is
remembered that DeLeon carried ample
means of identification. He had a num-
Der of Masonic emblems always car
ried a quantity of papers bearing his
name, and should easily be identified in
case Of accident.
The court house was the only piece
of actual contract work Mr.. DeLeon
has under way. HIS men are at work
on a number of other buildings, but
these are being done for the owners on
q percentage basis, and the owners will
be permitted to complete them, rsliev-
ing the DeLeon office of this RESPONSE
biity. AS to the court house work, Mr..
DeLeon Is under bond for 3244, 900,
twice the amount OF his contract In
case the court decides not to permit the
receivers to complete the work. the
county commissioners will announce
the default Of the contract and the
bonding company win then either COM
plete the work or pay an indemnity.
DISPATCHES rAs---1Nhicago state that
p. A. DeLeon, a ll.p- who lives in
New York, has arrived to assist in the
search for the lost contractor. Young
DeLeon visited the Chicago morgue to
views the remains Of man killed by
an automobile, but was positive that
the victim was not his uncle. He stated
that Noise DeLeon had about $4,000 in
cash. several Masonic emblems and an
expensive watch when he disappeared.
The Chicago police are continuing the
search, but have no real ciew to lead
them.
