For Dr Karl Enright head of the North Bay psychiatric hospital the obituary was the clincher to his suspicions He and three other people talked to the stranger in North Bay the day he was supposedly killed in Toledo at least sixhour drive away Enright had been dealing with the man since September when he showed up claiming to be child psychiatrist ready to settle down in North Bay He felt that some aspects of the strangers plan to set up the much needed psychiatry prac tice didnt ring true Enright said he found it strange that the man who ap peared to have some knowledge of child psychiatry knew nothing about Canadian im migration or medical licersing procedures He told the man how to comp ly with regulations adding he probably couldnt be licensed until next July But one month later
