Adolph Segal Is now a private patient
in the State Hospital for the Insane at
Norristown. Ho was admitted to tho

two months ago, furnished the climax
to tho collapso of his onco brilliant mind.
Se'gal did not know that he was being
taken to spend his last days in a haven
for tho insane. Ho has been feverishly
anxious to get back to business, In his
few, brief lucid intervals. Ho does not
know that ills physician has said ho can
not live moie than a year and may not
live moro than two months. When hu

pud climbed into tho waiting automobile
he thought he was being taken for a rido

Tho Federal Court has the authority to
