PHYSICIANS ARE PUZZLED BY MAN DUAL MENTALITY Was Kind Father, But Is Charged With Atrocious Crimes New York, April 17.--If ever a man of warped soul lived a double life, Henry Colin Campbell, of 471 Madison avenue, Elizabeth, N. J, was that man. His personality and mentality astound even the physi- cians who have examined him, and they are familiar with queer phe- nomena in the human cosmos, This middle-aged engineer, author of engineering guide books and real estate operator, married to a sweet and motherly woman, the father of four children, looked up to and re- spected in his home and his com- munity and adored by his real wite for his gentleness, politeness, and unfailing consideration, is the mun who married a gullible widow to possess her savings of $1,000, put a pistol to the head of the sleeping woman, killed her with as little compunction as if she had been a rat, threw her in the road, soaked her clothes with gasoline and them made a bonfire out of the body. Loved Teddy Bears The search of Campbell's house revealed other evidences of a pe- culiar mentality, The man wis a lover of dolls. In his room dons were everywhere. It was strewn with dolls and teddy bears. A strong box he owned was forced open and it was crammed with-- dolls. The physicians in Elizabeth say that these eccentricities have a meaning, and the discoveries have tended to increase the belief of the police and prospectors that Camp- bell is abnormal and unnatural. Trap For Women In their search of Campbell's apartment the police discovered that he had been making a regu- lar business of writing to matrie monial agencies and to the 'Lone- ly Heart" columns of newspapers.

He first married in the West twenty years ago. That wife died shortly afterward. He married again in Omaha in 1910, deserting that wife in 1913, because he found she had a husband living when he married. her. Campbell started annulment proceedings in Chicago, but before they were over married Rosalie McReady, his present wife. After he got the annulment he remarried her to make certain the ceremony was legal, The fifth marriage was to Mrs. Mowry, in Elkton, Md., on August 28, 1928. The clue that | led to Campbell's arrest was founa by tracing a pair of shoes, found at the scene of the crime in New Jersey, first to St. Louis, then to Greenville, Pa., where they had heen bought by the widow, who had been supporting herself by nursing and who, friends said, had gone to marry a Dr, Richard Camp- bell, of Baltimore: When Camp- bell was arrested he had a bundle of evening papers telling of the dead woman's identification.
