When asked today what his attitude

Staples said lie was thinking seriously of
becoming a candidate but had not made

him formidable candidate lin view of
his generally acknowledged ability.

money in his possession, which had been

made away with two gold watches. The
night nurse was making her rounds ON

rooms on the second floor. She. heard
him stirring around and inquired why
he was up at that hour, and he informed
her that the furnace fire needed tending.
Since coming to the hospital to take
the position of orderly which position he
had filled in other hospitals for several
years. he had done satisfactory work and
his honesty never had been questioned.
He made a visit Saturday evening to
some friends at the east village and when
he returned to the hospital that night
he was intoxicated. it is stated by the
hospital management.
The theft has been reported 10 the
chiefs of police in several nearby towns
