COLLINS, DISCHARGED
 FROM HOSPITAL, DISAPPEARS.
Man Who Claimed He Was Beaten and Robbed is Missing.

James Collins, who was found lying unconscious with several severe wounds on his head on Montauk ave- nue, near Gardiner avenue New Lon don, about a week ago, and who sent the police on wild goose chase with a story of having been assaulted by two sailors who beat him over the head with a stone and robbed him of over $70 that he claimed to have had on his person at the time of the as- sault, was released from the Lawrence hospital late Tuesday afternoon, aLA he has since not been seen or heard of.
 Two days after Collins was found and taken to the hospital Detective Charles P Hammond discovered that Collins had been panhandling on Bank street with another companion, and therefore probably did not possib [ have had any large sum of money on his person at the time the assault took place.
 It is the idea of the police that Col lins engaged in drunken brawl with this companion and came off second best. and that in order that he shoul: not appear guilty of breach of the peace he faked up the story of the as sault. Efforts on the part of the au thorities to locate the person who had been with Collins on Bank street were of no avail.
