caused by exhaustion; he might have died from

Coroner Herman briefly charged the jury, and
they retired to their room, returning In half an
hour with the following
VERDICT.
We find that the deceased, Louis 8. Samucls,
died from exhaustion, caused by improper treat
ment at the hands OF ignorant and incompetent
attendants. Further that the testimony shows o
very lax and improper administration OF the al
fairs OF the institution; that the warden and at
tendants should be persons OF temperate habits,
with proper amount of intelligence for their po-
stlOns that they should cooperate with the resi-
dent physician instead Of 0bstructing him In the
discharge of his duties; that in furtnerance OF tins
object the resident physician should be consulted
In the appointment of said warden, and physicians
should be subordinate to him.
