from the smoke created Ho was taken out revived and set adrift again Not long after he was again arrested and placed in jail This time ho tore up his clothes and atiempted to set another fire Afterwards ho claimed tho whole procedure to be a blank to him The same afternoon he was rearrested nn old man giving the name of CollinswaB found in a box car in an unconscious condition from having been assaulted Curtis is under suspicion ns having committed the assault but the old man cannot identify him absolutely and as there is absence of other testimony no results can be expected from this charge At first the old man claimed to have been robbed of 15 That amount after wards was in his mind reduced to 87 Only one fact appears to be certain in this connection namely that the old man was
