Doctor Under Arrest as Prowler;
Felt Himself 'Becoming Unglued'
Belmont, Lauf. U.R; A
S15,000-a-year doctor arrested as
the "cat burglar" of this subur
ban community said today he
"became unglued" because of
overwork.
Dr. John Francis Riordan. 35,
anesthetist at San Mateo's Com
munity hospital, was arrested
Tuesday as he stepped out of
surgery. Police gave no details
of the burglary with which he
was charged.
However, Riordan admitted he
had entered one home in his
neighborhood, jimmying a rear
door with a metal rod. After he
got inside, he said, he heard the
radio playing, realized someone
was at home and fled.
Belmont police refused to say
if they believe Riordan is the
prowler who has entered a dozen
or more Belmont homes in re
cent months. Some articles dis-j
appeared after the prowler's
visits.
Announced Own Arrest
Riordan himself announced his
arrest at an extraordinary press
conference Wednesday. Present
were San Mateo Country au
thorities and Dr. Harold Chope,
San Mateo County health direc
tor and Riordan's superior.
Riordan is married and the
father of a seven-year-old daugh
ter. After discussing at some length
an "obsessive compulsion neuro
si." Riordan astonished news
men by disclosing he had been
arrested as a burglary suspect.
"I feel very bad," he said.
"I'm now seeking psychiatric
treatment."
"I. am not under any continu
ous compulsion to do irrational
things. I can't remember taking
anything. Under the stress of the
moment. I acted without reason
and I still can't give any reason
for it."

"This man is not a criminal,"
Chope said. "He has a mental

resulted from an emotional

Chope said Riordan has been

St. Helens School
I
District Denied
Support Money
Salem (U.P.) The state, for
the second successive time, has
withheld payment of basic school
fund money to the St. Helens
school district because of fail
ure to meet minimum standards.
The situation apparently has
resulted from the inability of
the school board and the voters
to reach agreement on the type
of improvements the district
needs to qualify for state school
support funds.
D. A. Ermerson. deputy su
perintendent of public instruc
tion, said sometimes the pay
ment to a few schools is delayed
until they bring standards up to
minimum requirements but he
believed this to be the first case
where funds have been withheld
on two successive distributions.
Lack of Spues Listed
Principal basis for holding up
the funds was listed as a lack of
classroom space in the district.
The district did not receive a
scheduled payment of S72.310
last August and the December
payment of S50.098 is also being
held up.
Officials said the school board
has twice presented bond issues
to the voters for new school con
struction and they have both
been turned down.
School Superintendent Elwood
Egleston said the problem lies in
a difference of opinion on what
construction should be under
taken. He said the school board
has urged construction of a new
high school while some citizens
want additions to the present
building constructed.
Salem (U.R) Licenses of
751 Oregon drivers were sus
pended last month.
