down and roofing her around the
trough. whence Maxine finally escap-
ed. Today child's face is in bad
shape. There is one hole under the
eye, one behind the ear, one eye black

Man ARRESTED;
BECOMES DUMB
REMAINS IN THAT CONDITION
FOR FIVE MONTHS JUST AS
SUDDENLY.

Des Moines, June S.-The peculiar
case of man who became suddenly
dumb after being arrested and charg-
ed with crime and who continued In
this state for five months when he ap-
peared to come to himself just as SUD.
denly as he had lost his senses. was
discussed by DIR. G. Eaton, assistant
superintendent of the hospital at Cher
okee, at the quarterly conference OF
the heads of state institutions held
in the board Of control rooms.
The man was arrested on the charge
of embezzling the American Express
Co. He disappeared suddenly from
his place of employment and was next
heard of about 1000 miles away EN-.
barking on a new enterprise. When
he was arrested and charged with the
crime he became suddenly dumb and
appears to have had what the experts
term of Total amnesia" for about five
months. While he was in that he was
confined in hospital and the attend
ants tried number of things to
arouse him. One night while he was
sleeping huge pile of brick were al
lowed to fall near his bed with clat-
tering noice but he did not awaken.
Similar tests were made both while
he was asleep and awake but none
of them seemed to arouse him to him
self After about five months OF this
he came to all at once. But he denies
having any knowledge Of the theft OF
goods which took place two months
before his arrest.
