Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 7 ? His mind unbalanced by work and heat Norman C. Bassett, aged fifty, manager of a department of the Allis-Chalmers plant, wandered for several hours about town until a patrolman took him to the police station. He carried a sachel which was found to contain $50,000 in money, bonds and other negotiable papers, when opened at the emergency hospital.
When taken into custody Bassett talked incoherently, was unable to tell the officers anything about himself, even his name, and imagined he was in a strange foreign city pursued by thieves. Bassett is a bachelor, and enthusiastic golfer, being a member of the Blue Mound and Country clubs, and a man of means.
