“ND ANGLE Remarkable Patient in Bellevue Hospital t Who Cannot Talk and Refuses to Work. MANY TONGUES TRIED. To All He Shakes His Head, Uttering No Sound—Health is Good and Docfors Think He May Be Shamming. What to do with a man who can talk and will not. who ts strong but un- willing té work, who seeks to convey the Impression that he cannot under- stand any of the seventeen languages and dialects, is the problem ‘confronting Supt. Merwin, of the Department of Qutdeor Poor. Such a man has been in Bellevite for nearly a month, and al~ though he fs only thirty years old {t may ‘becothe necessary to send him to the almshouse. ‘The man is well born apparently. His face {s aristocratic, his manner graceful, and, despite clothes that would be re- fused by a tramp, he manages to carry himself with dignity. Altenists say he is perfectly sane. He was picked up in the street Sept. 1, suffering from malaria and starva- tion. As he seemed to be a foreigner, Uttle was thought of his silence unt!) he had recovered. Efforts were then made to get him to talk. All Languages Tried. French, Spanish, Hungarian, Italian and German were tried without avail. Chinese, Japanese and all the Yiddish dialects clicited no response. Gaelic, , Swedish, Norwegian, Lithuanian and Greek were fired at him. At times he smiled a vague, fleeting smile. He was i regular in his attendance at meals and had loafing reduced to an art. ‘The hospital authorities decided that since the stranger had become healthy, | he should be made to work. Signs were | made to him indicating tnat he was to + sweep the floor and a broom was put in his hands. i! ‘The haughty gesture of refusal he i made would have done credit to a duke, A bucket of water was given W him and he was directed to carry it. i Instead he. placed the bucket on the i round, made a profound pow, shrugged ig shoulders and walked away. It was impossible to make him do thing. He wanted the attendants to fon him as they had when he was Bick, Possessors of strange languages tried to make the man talk, but he fused to admit that he understand: ‘A pencil and w plece of paper were given him yesterday. He wrote a scrawl fhat looked like a combination of Ger- man, Latin and English. It mightybe speaks several languages saw the man of mystery to-day. He looks like a raziiian, The reporter tried the Brasil- jan patols on him without effect. When ish wae spoken the mysterious per. gon sneered, shrugged his choulders and walked away. The Helleviie doctors agree that the man's brain is normal. His vocal cords are perfect, and tests have shown.that Ais hearing ts good. e only explana- tion of his conduct is that he ts of a strange race or |s afraid if he talks he will have to work. 7) REVENGE FOR HER T BOGUS MARRIAGE i Mary Seloshinsky Moves a} } Jury to Laughter, but They i Quickly Punish the Man !
