Cat Burglar Says He Became Unglued Mentally
Dr. John F. Riordan a $15000 a year anesthetist at San Mateo County Community Hospital says he is a cat burglar due to mental illness. Health director Dr Harold Chope says overwork stress and worry caused his troubles and Riordan will stay on the payroll. Riordan admits one burglary and says memory gaps for other cases hinder police inquiries. The arrest followed a burglary spree in Belmont where he lives near the hospital.
