OF Drugged Man Found
Near Death I'm Salem

Unable to mentally fight throuxu
his apparently g-befogged brain
to remember the events Immediate.
y Dteceu4ng the time when he was
found near death in the Baker
apartments here Yesterday evening,
a man who says his name is c. T.
Allen of Suver, Or, is incapable of
furnishing police with an informa-
ton which might aid in solving the
strange mystery which surrounds
his case.
That he ate dinner in Salem re-
Gently. that he has a brother, o. NJ.
Allen of Suver. that he is farmer,
and that he had taken some pepsin
tablets, were the only things which
Allen could tell Dr. j. II. Garn-
jobst, the attending physician.
Door Broken Down.
Groaning and pitching about on
his bed in the Baker apartment
house, GAS Ferry street. Allen was
discovered by Officer Rawson
about about o'clock yesterday
evening after a hurrv-up call had
been received at the police station.
Breaking down the door. Rawson
found Allen in a semi-cOnscious
condition and unable to talk.
Allen, man of 48 years, is
about six feet in height and weighs
more than 200 pounds. He is gray
haired and sparsely built. This
morning he said he had never been
married.
The theory originally advanced
by police that Allen had attempted
suicide is given little credence by
DR.. Garnjobst. whether or not he
was the victim of foul play investi-
eators are unable to say. Indica-
tions are that he swallowed some
kind of drug.
