SICK MISSIONARY REVEALED
AT HOSPITAL AS EX-CONVICT
Shell-Shocked War Veteran Was In Prison
Instead of Orient, Police Claim;
Known as Hallucination Victim.

Cowles said, that under the name Of
Louis A. Reppelle he was in the Ohio
Penitentiary from August 10, 1927. to
March IS, 1880, on a charge of issuing
a check to defraud a Cleveland hotel.

H. Thurber served time in the San

1920, to September 3, 1921, on SIM
liar charge.
Gives Fake Addresses.
A man by the same name also was
acquitted of a robbery charge in San
Francisco in February, 1920, and in
1927 was charged with grand larceny
by Buffalo police. He was said to have
deserted from Camp Fabian, Tex, a
number of years ago.
Thurber attracted the interest OF sew
eral national authorities on tropical dis
eases when he told hospital authorities
he was suffering from distomiasis and
said he was resigned to death within
a month.
The rarenesS of the disease in this
country and the consequent lack of fa-
miliarity with it puzzled physicians. He
told many stories of missionary work in
the Orient. but an investigation was
started when his mother could rot be
located at the Philadelphia address he
gave and the church he claimed to be
affiliated with found no record of him.

Old and the New.

In Europe modernism and medieval
ism have way of living side by side
in the same city, each unconscious and
nucomprehending CT the other. This is
seen to the best advantage at Mentone
on the Riviera. The centuries have not
changed this medieval city. Time seems
to have woven it into a tapestry OF
venerable cathedralS, moSs-coVered
houses and primitive little pathways
they unknowingly or generously call
streets, and all that Old Mentone knows
Of Young Mentone is that she comes
at certain times of the year with her
manifestations of wealth and gayety to
live in the luxurious hotels and spacious
villas, a terra incognito to her neighbor.
