The Eiansvlllo Courier says: A traveling man 'from Owensboro, Ky., almost had himself confined to the Hollinger sanitarium on Outer First avenue last Saturday by Maurice Rochester of Henderson, Ky., whom the traveling man Induced to go to tho sanitarium to take treatment for a nervous disorder. It was only by hard talking on the lart of the trav eling man accompanied by a tel ephone call to tho St. George hotel that he was not kept at the sanita rium Instead of Rochester. Rochester, Saturday morning, se cured a room at the St. George hotel and created a good deal of excite ment by his peculiar actions. He wi resented himself as an Investigator of private sanitariums. Ho began his work of Investigating by calling up several of the most prominent -doctors, explaining to them his business and demanding that they call upon him at he hotel. Harold Van Orman became sus picious after he had called up three doctors. Instructing ithe clerk to an swer all telephone i calls made- by Ro chester, the' clerk', was kept busy rep resenting hlmscLtf as a doctor and by the time Rochester was through',' he had disguised his voice 18 different times to lead Rochester to think he hotl talked with 18 different doctors. In the afternoon Rochester's broth er from Henderson'' arrived - Ro-1 Chester, guessing his mission, Invit ed him to his room where he quickly elJpiKil from the room, locking the door and keeping hU brother a pris oner. a traveling man was told ot Ithe caso. He casually suggested to Rochester "that the Hollinger sanitarium ought to bo condemned" ar.fl that. he would. show him the placo if he 'would ac company him. Tho good Samaritan's plan was to get, Rochester in the sanitarium to undergo treatment for his mental (disorder. Rochester acquiesced to the proposal providing that ho (Rochester) would be allowed to do all the talking. A taxlcab Bpcd them to the san itarium. They were ushered into the waiting room at the sanitarium where Dr. Hollinger appeared. "This man is crazy and I want him to take a -few treatments here," quickly said Rochester; to the doctor. Tho man referred to expostulafctf with tho doctor that it-was Rochester who was crazy. Rochester talked calmly and told the doctor ot the. Illusions his friend labordd under while the friend, on the contrary, talked In an excited manner with many gesticulations that caused tho doctor to think he really disorder was attempted. was mentally unbalanced.
