Adolph Segal la now a private patient
In the Stnte Hospital for the Insane at
Norristown. He was admitted to the
Institution at 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon to spend the year, or less, that his
physician says remains of his life. The
trip was made by automobile from St.
Joseph's Hospital, where Mr. Segal had
been virtually a prisoner since his bank
ruptcy proceedings, a little more than
two months ago, furnished the climax
to the collnpse of his once brilliant mind.
Segal did not know that he was being
taken to spend his last days in a haven
for tho Insane. He has been feverishly
anxious to get back to business, in his
few, brief lucid Intervals. He does not
know that his physician has said he can
not live more than a year and may not
live more than two months. When he
slipped from the hospital by a rear door
and climbed into the waiting automobile
he thought he was being taken for a ride
for no other reason than to beneltt his
health.
Dr. 8. F. Miller, chief resident physician
at the Norristown institution, said this
morning that Mr. Segal had been ad
mitted. The mental conditlton of the
former financier he would not discuss.
He declared that Mr. Segal Is a private
patient. The rules of the hospital for
bid giving out Information about such
patients except to relatives or . others
entitled to know.
Unless his creditors lake action, Segal
will never leave the Slate Hospital alive.
The Federal Court has the authority to
subpoena him from the asylum in his
bankruptcy proceedings, according to the
attorney for the trustee, but It Is not cuu
sidered probable that such action will be
taken If proof of Segal's Insanity Is ad
duced at the meeting of creditors to be
held Thursday In the ofllce of Joseph
Mellors, the referee In bankruptcy.

A desire to emulate the adventurers In
moving pictures caused 18-year-old Wil
liam Miller to shoot and kill Constable
Henry Kolbc this morning In the pres
ence of passengers at the Reading Hall
way station, Doylostown.
Miller, who Is known as "Broncho
Billy," on account of his ability to
quickly draw a revolver, wns arrested
by Kalbe Just as he was preparing to
leave the town with a new suitcase.
The man know there was a warrant
for his arrest on the charge of forging
a check in the name of Neil Steilwagon,
a coal dealer, for $75. Iast night, ac
cording to the police, he told friends he
expected to be arrested and declared that
no one would bring him to Jail. He
bought a suitcase and packed it with
things that would come In handy on the
plains and the grat desert, and then
went with a spirit of bravado to the
railroad station. He was neatly dressed
and chatted pleasantly with some of his
friends.
While he was ta'king Kolbe, who knew
Miller personally, arrived and greeted him

cordially. Then he took the man asld
and told him confidentially that ho had
a warrant for his arrest.
Miller then stepped away from the con
stable and drawing his revolver, "Broncho
Billy" style, fired one shot through
Kolbe's heart. The constable fell dead
to the platform. Most of the frightened
passengers ran Into tho station. Two men
pounced upon Miller, but he told them to
keep cool. Then he handed them hla re

the police station. Miller said he drew
the revolver to frighten' Kolbe.
The man who fired the shot Is the pro
prietor of n moving picture theatre In
Doylestown, but lately business has been
very poor. This Is due, the residents say,
to the fact that Miller would offer noth
ing but Western dramas. The decrease
In business, it is said, made Miller des
perate and caused him to forge the check
on the coal dealer.
