Baltimore, April 22—Sought by the North Carolina authorities on charges of embezzling $7,500, H.D. Herrins of High Point, N.C., has been found here in Johns Hopkins Hospital by local detectives. Physicians today said the man is critically ill with an intestinal ailment.

Herrin does not know the authorities are on his trail, and every effort will be made to keep him in ignorance of the charges for fear the shock at this time will cause his death.

Herrin is reported to have disappeared from High Point three weeks ago. The request for his arrest was made by R.M. Gordae, clerk of the county court at High Point. The warrant charges Herrin with misappropriating funds amounting to $7,500, the property of Mrs. May Sullivan.

In their communication to the authorities here, the High Point officials requested that Herrin be held in $10,000 bail if arraigned before a magistrate.
