UNCONSCIOUS MAN FOUND NEAR MASSIE HOSPITAL.

Shortly after leaving his home on Mt. Airy Avenue early yesterday morning Mr. Louis Lilleston discovered a man, with clothing torn, apparently dead, lying in the street near the entrance to the Massie Memorial Hospital grounds, on Mt. Airy avenue. Investigating, he found there was life still in the man, and summoning help he had him removed to the Hospital. At the institution the "sleeper" refused to give his name, but stated that he had been robbed and thrown down the cliff on the creek near the railroad bridge.

He could give no coherent story of the robbery, and was evidently laboring under a hallucination. He was not seriously injured, and was discharged from the institution after being given first-aid treatment. The case was reported to the police, and an investigation will be made.
