ACCOUNTANT WITH
LAPSE OF MEMORY
FOUND IN HOSPITAL
A strange lapse of memory was rec
orded today in the case of Henry W.
Voss. an expert accountant of New
Tork city, who came to this city in the
interest of the Blrdsey-Somers Com
pany and disappeared almost immedi
ately after writing a very despondent
and alarming letter to his wife.
Through the agency of the local po
lice to which both the factory man
agement and his . fear-stricken wife
appealed, Voss was found in the Stam
ford hospital, where he had oeen tak
en, last night when found wandering
about the streets there in an appar
ently amnesic condition.
Voss, who resides at 952 Firtysec-
ond street, was employed to conduct
an examination into some books of the
local concern. He arrived here a few
days ago and engaged rooms at the
Arcade Hotel. ' He again came to this
city night before last and was to re
port for work yesterday but had en
deavored to secure other accommoda
tions ln East Bridgeport. On Wed
nesday night he wrote a very peculiar
letter to his family in New York
which was so alarming that she In
stantly came here yesterday morning.
Voss had left the hotel at 6 o'clock
and was not again seen. Constant
search here failed to reveal his wliere
abouts and It was believed an unto
ward end might have been prompted
by nervous breakdown from over
work. The entire police force, including
one of the commissioners went to
work with the result that a quick lo
cation of the missing man was made
when the Stamford hospital was com
municated with. " -
