OF HIS CONDITION
Taken to Norristown in
Auto, He Made Plans to
Continue His Business Ac-

Adolph sega1 Is now a private patient
in the State Hospital for the Insane az
Norristown. He was admitted to the
institution at o'clock yesterday after~
noon to spend the year, or less that his
physician says remains Of his life The
trip was made by automobile from st.
Joseph's Hospital, where Mr. Segal had
been virtually prisoner since his banks
ruptcy proceedings, a little more than
two months ago, furnished the climax
to the collapse Of his once brilliant mind.
segal did not know that he was being
taken to spend his last days in a haven
for the Insane. He has been feverishly
anxious to get back to business, in his
few, brief lucid intervals. He does not
know that his physician has said he cam
not live more than year and may not
live more than two months. When he
slipped from the hospital by rear door
end climbed into the waiting automobile
he thought me was being taken for ride
for no other reason than to benefit his
health.
DR.. S. F. Miller, chief resident physician
at the Norristown institution, said this
morning that Mr.. Segal had been adj
mitted The mental condition Of the
former financier he would not discuss.
He declared that Mr.. segal is a private
patient. The rules of the hospital for
bid giving out information about such
patients except to relatives or others
entitled to know.
Unless his creditors take action, Segal
will never leave the State Hospital alive.
The Federal Court has the authority to
subpoena him from the asylum in his
bankruptcy proceedings, according to the
attorney for the trustee. but 1t is not con-
stdered probable that such action will be
taken If proof of Segars insanity is ad-
duced at the meeting Of creditors to be

DOYLESTOWN MAN
KILLS OFFICER AS
HE AWAITS TRAIN
Moving Picture Show Pro-
prietor, Crazed by Western
Dramas, Murders Officer
About to Arrest Him.

A desire to emulate the adventurers In
moving pictures caused 1S-year-old VIII
liam Miller to shoot and kill Constable
Henry Kolbe this morning in the pres
ence of passengers at the Reading Rail-
way station, Doylestown.
Miller. who is known as "Broncho
Billy" on account of his ability TO
quickly draw revolver. was arrested
by Kolbe just as he was preparing TO
leave the town with a new suitcase.
The man know there was warrant
for his arrest on the charge of forging
a check in the name Of Neil steilwagon,
a coal dealer, for S75 Last night, ac-
cording to the police, he told friends he
expected to be arrested and declared that
no one would bring him to Jail. He
bought suitcase and packed It with
things that would come in handy on the
plains and the great desert, and then
went with a spirit of bravado to the
railroad station. He was neatly dressed
and chatted pleasantly with some of his
friends.
While he was talking Kobe, who knew

cordially. Then he took the man aside
and told him confidentially that he had
a warrant for his arrest.
Miller then stepped away from the con.
stable and drawing his revolver. "Broncho
Billy style, fired one shot through
Kolbe's heart. The constable fell dead
to the platform. Most of the frightened
passengers ran into the station. Two men
pounced upon Miller, but he told them to
keep cool Then he handed them his re-
volver and walked with his captors to
the police station. Miller said he drew
the revolver to frighten Kolbe.
The man who fired the shot is the pro-
prietor of a moving picture theatre in
Doyestown, but lately business has been
very poor. This is due, the residents say,
to the fact that Miller would offer moth
ing but Western dramas. The decrease
in business, it is said, made Miller des-
perate and caused him to forge the check
