Another delusion fostered by Kal Ho was that his bedclothes were poisoned and consequently he now sleeps in his clothes.

Lippmann, who ha her taken inte. custody on a charge of insanity before a King county in sanity commission on Thursda morning. She was discharged, Lippmann claims that she rang him up many time each day and made life a burden by calls at his office. She claimed to have been hypno tized by Jews. Lippmann happened to be the object of her attacks and consequently he sought to have her sent to an asylum. She also made the statement that Lippman cast the spell upon her in a wine room several months ago. Captain F.

At one time, at Port he owned and operated one of the largest commercial houses in that city; later he lost $ 00. With his money swept away Lati- mer then entered the United States customs service, where he officiated for the remaining period of time until he was given a leave of ab sence in order that he might attempt | to regain his health in California While a member of the customs service “Stan” Latimer, as he was millarly known among the mer Forbes, | was am chants and sea-faring men along the waterfront, became acquainted with almost every one whose business ng the docks and wharves of the city’s harbor. Up to the past three years he had been apparently in good health, al- though, old-time friends say, he was never exactly the same man since his financial breakdown in Port Townsend. In performing his duties as a customs officer Latimer, during the past two years, often acted rather queerly, and his peculiarities be- came the subject of good-natured Jests on the part of his associates. ‘‘Stan,’ you're no good. Might just as well call ft off.” or “Guess ‘Stans’ all in,” some friend would jokingly say, apparently unaware of the fact that Latimer was in the vicinity, Pride in his former self and the humiliating stings brought on by the jests broke his heart. Often- times “Stan” would sit for hours at a time awaiting the entrance of some vessel, during which he never seemed to see anyone. Friends greeting him in passing, received in return nothing but a vacant stare. A short time ago Latimer's health became so bad that he asked per- mission for leave of absence. This was granted and he left for Cali- fornia. On his arrival in San Fran- eiseo, reports received by friends here say, he became Insane, and the once proud, successful businessman, government official and pioneer of Puget sound, was token away to the ylum at Napa.
