the attention OF the management to
the fact that he was again wander
ing about in a half-clad condition and
had been out on the veranda. Jack

found that he was under the delusion
that someone had stolen his shoes and
outer clothing. 1t was supposed thai

again taken to his room and shown
that his clothes were all safe. lie
was not seen alive again.
This forenoon, cnamDermaid who

peeped through a crack in the door
and saw Mr. Harris in a crouchine
position at the head of the bed, be-
tween the bed and the wall. with one
arm thrown about a bar of the bed
head. The maids summoned Jack
Martin who entered the room and
found that the man was dead. He
then called the police department and
Lieut.. Sineath responded and recog-
nized Mr.. Harris as a former ac-
quaintance of his.

examination and determined that
death was from natural causes the
only outer sign. aside from his pre-
vious deranged conduct, being an in
famed spot over the appendix. An
autopsy will not be held unless the
