There is considerable police in terest in Lindsay who was named in' a signed statement by John Miles Avery. Salem, as an alleged accomplice in an early morning burglary attempt at the Bishop Building. Avery has since been bound over to the Marion County grand jury on a charge of burg lary not in a dwelling and is cur- rently being held in the county jail in lieu of $2,500 baiL There is no charge against Lindsay. Lindsay was picked up in the street by Willamette Ambulance Service about a half block from the Bishop Building and about two hours before discovery of the burglar)' Sunday morning. He told ambulancemen that he had been struck by a hit and run driver. Avery said Lindsay was hurt in a 25-foot drop through a skylight atop the Bishop Build ing and apparently dragged him sK out and into the street. Both Avery and Lindsay had been sharing the same room in a local hotel. Dr. Charles E. Bates, superin tendent of the State Hospital, ex plained Thursday evening that confinement of Lindsay was "something of a courtesy to the city police" in exchange for past help to the hospital in return of escapees, etc. He said it was his understanding that police had been somewhat concerned over Lindsay's whereabouts and if the city had charged him directly "they would have had to put a 24-hour guard on the man his entire stay at Salem Memorial," he said. Dr. Bates said he presumed that the State Hospital, in tak ing Lindsay to their charge, as sumed full physical and financial responsibility for the man. He said Lindsay voluntarily commit ted himself as an alcoholic and, though confined to a bed with his ankle injury, would be given the regular alcoholic treatment This, he explained, would first consist of "filling him full of vita mins." The doctor explained that about 40 per cent of alcoholics in their charge are voluntary. He said that self-commitment was possi ble for a 30-day period upon ap proval of hospital officials. City Police Capt. Glen Bowman mad no mention of the alcoholic tendencies of Lindsay, but pointed out that the man had "simply committed himself."
