MAY HAVE DISLOCATEO NECK
DR.. j. P. Long Of Chicago Thinks It
Possible That Man May Be Brother
Long Missing From Birmingham, Ala.
Answers to the Description.

Jonn r. Kennedy, the kenosha man
who has lost himself had a great dis
appointment on Monday afternoon
when representative of the Mil
waukee Athletic Club, came to Keno
sha certain that he could solve the
mystery attending the identity of the
man without a memory. Kennedy as
he has come to be known in Kenosha
had been informed of the coming of
the man and he was eager TO see him.
The Milwaukee man after seeing a
photograph of Kennedy had declared
that it was a picture Of John HAITI,
formerly a chef at the Milwaukee
Athletic Club. Ten minutes after the
man reached Kenosha late Monday
afternoon he was introduced to Ken
nedy and he shattered the hopes of
the man without a memory by declar-
ing that he was not HAITI although he
had a remarkable resemblance to the
missing Milwaukee man.
At the time of the interview Ken
nedy was doing some painting at the
home Of Il. G.. King on Ashland ave-
nue..
J. w. Klema, chiropractor in the
Public Service building took hold Of
Kennedy's case on Monday evening
and he is hopeful that he will be able
to restore his memory to him. Physi-
clans Of several schools have tried and
failed and Klema made thorough
examination of the mysterious visitor
on Monday evening and declared to
him that he had found several small
bones in his neck dislocated. It is
possible that the righting of these
bones will result in the memory of
Kennedy being restored. After his
first visit to the Chiropractor on Mon
day night Kennedy declared that he
had great hopes.
On Monday night Kennedy was put
through long list of questions oy
which it was thought possible that his
identity could be established as one
of the missing men named in letters
received by the Chief of Police on
Monday. He was told of the pathetic
appeal of Mrs. John P. Cough of Ell
gin, and he declared that so far as
he knew he was never in Elgin and
that he had never known any one by
the name of John P. Cough. He made
the same statements in regard to Man
Illus, ILL.,, and declared that to the best
of his knowledge he had never been
a member of the Masonic order. Signs
of the order were given in his pres
ence but they failed to arouse any
vibrant chord and he evidently took
no notice of them.
incidentally it has been learned that
there is a possibility that John P.
Cough, the missing Elgin man, was at
one time in Kenosha. Facts were
brought out on Monday night which
showed that Cough had at one time
written letter to Kenosha man in
which he declared that he was close
to death in a hospital in Elgin. Writ
ten on the envelope In which the let
ter was mailed was message pur-
porting to have been written by a
nurse in the hospital which declared
that Cough had died just after writing
the letter. The friends Of Cough in
Kenosha do not care to have any pub
licity in connection with the case but
declare that after the letter was re-
ceived here Cough was seen walking
on the streets at Peoria, I'll. These
facts are to be communicated to Mrs.
Cough in order to serve as az aid to
her In the search for her hushaud.
Another interesting feature of the
story was added this morning when
DR.. George F. Adams received a letter
from DR.. J. P. Long, No. zoos Jackson
Boulevard, Chicago, in which DR.. Long
declared that he thought it possible
that Kennedy might be his brother
Crawford J. Long, who disappeared
from Birmingham, Ala, four years ago.
Crawford j. Long was graduate of
the law department of the University
Of Virginia and a member of the class
of 1909. He would be twenty-nine
years of age and his description close
" tallies with that of the man in Ke-
nosha. DR.. Long has been sent photo
graph of the Kenosha man and has
been asked to come to Kenosha and
make an effort to identify him.
