SUNBATHS FOR PRISONER
MILLIONAIRE’S GAOL PSYCHOSIS.
By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright.
Los Angeles, Dee. 29.
The authorities intend giving Alexander Pantages sunbaths in the nude to cure him of his prison psychosis. The multi-millionaire showman, after six weeks in gaol, pleaded that he was dying from heart disease. Six physicians confirmed the diagnosis Pantages made of himself, but the judge declined to release him on bail, because of the physicians’ assurance that all that ailed him was worry at oeing locked up. something that troubles many miscreants ' during their first months of prison life. Gaol is preying on his mind, so he will get sun and diet treatment, the same as was recently given to Keyes, former districtattorney, who is Pantages' cellmate.
