HAGOOD IMAGINED HE
POSSESSED MILLIONS
Dementia of Pellagra Victim Assumes Very Unusual Form,
it Develops, Causing Him to Give Away Fortune
to Those Accepting of His Generosity
Imagining that he possessed the for*
' tune of a Rockefeller or Morgan, Jos
eph O. Hagood, the I.«< rosse undertak
\ er. who died of pellagra at Virginia
hospital Wednesday morning, gave
sway million* during hi* period* of
hallucination. It develops
Ever since the disease f1r*t showed
itself seven years ago. Mr. Hagood ts
said to have been afflicted at intervals
with a peculiar form ot mania that
I cauped him to believe thai he had un
limited mentis at hi* dtsposat and it ts
said that when possessed of this idea
I he never lost an oportunlty to lavish
his Imaginary fortune on any one will
ing to accept of his generosity. A year
| or two ago. while he was on a visit
to relatives itl Brunswick county, which
adjoin* Mecklenburg In which La
Crosse is located, the mania of the
pellagra victim assumed a particularly
acute form and It Is estimated that
he gave away as high as ten million
dollars on that trip alone. The money
was distributed In exceedingly Urge
sums through checks drawn on imag
inary hanks and some times on real
banks
The few days that he spent at v lr
ginia hospital. Mr Hagood'* dementis
assumed a more violent stage, causing
him to forget the fortune he imagined
v.1.. his mental con
tdltlon trai aggravated by the fact that
i he lust the sight of both eyes some
days before death and also suffered
much from severe gastritis and Intestl
i nul pains.
| Debtors say that some form of de
mentia or Insanity 'almost Invariably
accompanies pellagra symptoms, al
though It Is rare for a patient to pos
sess Imaginary riches, as was the case
with Mr. Hagood.
The first case of this strange disease
believed to have been discovered In
Virginia developed at the “Central’
Slate hospital near Petersburg two
1 years ago, according to a report which
Superintendent Drewry. of that insti
tution read at the national confer
ence on pellagra held last November
nt Columbia, 3. C„ under the auspices
of the South Carolina State Board of
Health. Since the first case, Dr.
Drewry reported that twenty others
had been observed and studied at th#
hospital. In addition to these, about s
! dozen cases have been seen and ob
served by physicians In various sec
tions of Virginia.
Physicians are divided In opinion ae
to the cause of pellagra. It Is gen
erally accepted, however, that the dts- ;
ease la essentially a blood trouble j
■rather than a cutaneous affection, ,
although the symptoms first appear on (
' exposed surfaces of the skin. .

In This Wav Only Could Flames
That Enveloped Her Be
Put Out.
While no ininjediate serious conse
quences are anticipated, doctors at
the Virginia hospital fear that Mrs.
Lillian Childress. 24 years old, can
not recover from the effects of burns
she sustained Wednesday afternoon
while washing clothes on her premises
on Darbytown Road.
Mrs. Childress, It appears, was in the
act of handling a kettle of water over
an open tire In the yard when her
apron suddenly caught lire. Screaming
In terror, she rushed to her mother
nearby and while the latter was eu- !
deavorlng to put out the flames she
ran off in another direction toward
her brother-in-law who finally suc
ceeded In relieving her terror by ac
tually tearing the clothes from her
body.
On examination, physicians found '
that Mrs. Childress, who is the mother
of several small children, had been
tearfully burned about the arms, body j
and chest. Mr. Earnest Childress, her
husband, was not at home at the time.
Mrs. Childress was hurried into the
city In a spring wagon to Virginia
hospital where It was stated Thursday
morning that, although she appeared
to have recovered somewhat from
shock Incident to the burns, she was
suffering irreatly. It was feared that
she had Inhaled some of the flames
but examination proved that theie
fears were ungrounded, it Is said.
Tha doctors eav that had Mrs.

ALL MUST BLOW
THE SAME TUNE
Ordinance Proposed Requiring
Use of Automobile Owners of
Uniform Signals.
I If an ordinance which will be In
troduced on the floor of the city coun
cil be enacted all automobile owners
I will, under penalty of law, be ro
'quired to equip their machines with;
uniform signal* or horn*—a law now
1 In force in several of the largei ,
; cities.
At present there is considerable i
I rivalry among automobile owners1
jover the loudnes* and unique fea
tures of their horns. One machine [
'will toot, another emits honks like a'
mastodon gander, another shrills and
shrieks while a fourth gives vent to
unearthly yells sufficient to make a
dead horse rise up out of his grave
and run away. • |
Members of the council recognise
| that horses tn Richmond would soon
become accustomed to a uniform
signal, and that In a very short time j
but little danger would result. Tt
Is shown, however, that town horees
1 would never cease to be frightened
by the constant multiplicity and
i variety of noises that now assail hts
: ears, and to remedy this and make
! trall’c saner and safer within the city
limits a determined light will be made
by the more conservative councilman
for the passage of the ordinance.
