Several days ago he entered an office in a downtown block and began calling each of the eight women stenographers in the room "sister," and attempting to embrace them in succession. He was arrested and the discovery was made that his mind was almost gone. MacLeod (sic) was well connected, his father having been an Episcopalian army chaplain. He practiced law in Clearfield county and 10 years ago came to Altoona, serving a term as United States Commissioner. He was elected justice of the peace of Coalport. The body will be brought home.
