NOVEMBER 2 ALLEN'S FORTUNE CONE, WHERE? Lawyer Once Won Him a $100,- 000 Suit, but Now Wealth Consists of $20,000 in Trust Company. } HE WILL TRY TO TRACE IT. Sanitarium Physician Still Persists that Former Clubman is Danger- ous and Hallucinations Are In- creasing. Lawyer Clarence Lexow, who Is In- vestigating into the case of Willlam & Vanderbilt Allen, at present confined In @ sanitariuns at Westport, Conn, sald to-day that he had found {t necersary his assistant, back for further invest!gation. ile that tt will not be neces- him to apply for @ writ of for habeas corpus. “Iam not In @ position to make any sary at ment.” he sald, “as ta whether Mr, Allen is sane or insane, I have not seen him for six years, but I think there Will bs no diMcalty in securing his re- lease, if such a step is necessary. 1 am making a full investigation.’ One of the first things to be investl- gated is Allen's fortune; much of which Mr. Lexow cannot account for. On one occasion the attorney won a uit for him involving $100,000, and he is known to have realized large amounts from other sources, Has Only $29,000 Now. Allen's fortune at present consists of $20,000 in cash in the farmers’ Loan and Trust Company. Mr. Lexow 1s making an effort to find where the rest of the money has gone. The income from the money in the New York bank {s $1,100 a year. It is explained that the payments made monthly for years were stopped recently when the bank officials learned that Allen was confined in a sanitarium. ‘They refused to honor his checks Mr, Deltches returned from Westport Impressed with the idea that Allen is a sane man. He talked to him for more than an hour, questioning him along many Ines to test his memory. In most every instance, he says, the pa- tlent's mind seemed remarkably clear and he clearly recalled the detalls of events before he was sent to Westport. Doctor Says He Grows Worse. While counsel for Allen is preparing to seek his release, Dr. Ruland, the proprietor of the retreat, says that the man's mental. malady is constantly be- coming’ more alarming, and 1s of such @ nature that it cannot be cured. Dr, Ruland said yesterday that Mr. Allen was plainly suffering from hal- lucinations when he was brought to the institution and that of late he has grown troublesome, making It necessary to cut off his privelcges, “Mr, Allen was confined in the second ward when brought to my institution,” said Dr. Ruland, “After a short time he was brought to the first ward and with'n a year he was patroled and dl- lowed many liberties. I gave him a plot of ground on which to cultivate flowers Allen has occupied a smail studio on | | the second floor of the barn. He led his visitors up the narrow stairs yester- day to the fmall room where the floor was covered with paint cans and bits of broken glass, There were several pictures started, but none finished. He explained to his guests that he had not been able to accomplish much while at Westport, say- ing that the environment was not’ such as to inspire the artistic temperament. Then Piersenda Drew Revolver When Placed Under Arrest. ~ Giuseppe Plersenda, a butcher at No 344 East One Hundred and Fifteenth street, was held for the Grand Jury in bonds of $1,000 this. morning by Magia- trate Deuel In the Centre Street Court on a charge of attempting to bribe an Inspector of the tenement-house department of the Building Department C Becheret, the inspector. "who was one of Jerome's fifteen detectives in his spectacular gambling raids, had filed a number of complaints for, viola tons galt the three tenement-houses leased by Plersanda at Nos, 330. 382 and 334 Bast One Hundred and Fifteenth street. The latter is said to have given Becherer $5. Piersenda resisted arrest and drew a revolver, and considerable yefirst street station and related his adventures to the sergeant. Detectives ‘Heaney and McMurrin were sent with him and after an hour’ arch the: found all six of the boys, whom the Iife boy identified as his ailants in Third avenue, and they were taken to the station-house. Later all of the boys ex- cept MaDonough were sent to the Gerry Society and he was locked up in the station. BANKER’S REST WAS DEATH.
