Died From Exposure.

BERsARD CASSIDY is dead. Who BERNARD
CASSIDY Is but . very few know. But thAt.be
ID dead and died from neglect the city believes
this morning. He was poor young man, sE
dictsd with epileetic fits, and he dragged out
. wretched existence In shanty, where the
sanitary police found him and attempted to
bring him relief. Owing to certain rules In
force at Providence Hospital, the doors Of
that benevolent institution were shut against
him. The ambulance driver then hurried him
OF over the hill 10 the aims house, In hopes OF
finding shelter there. But again he found the
doors shut, and could not gain admittance.
So BERNARD CASSIDY was taken out Of the
ambulance. and in 4 NEST helpless condition
was left uneared for at the threshold Of the
slms-houss. He was nothing but psuper,
as II were, ragged, diseased, homeless and
forsaken. Therefore he WAS left on the
ground to die under the very shadows Of the
poor house-left there because there was no
one In the institution authorized to receive
him; LEFT there to die because Of Official ne
glect, TO die In the most heartless and cruel
manner. The authorities Of Washington can
not afford such inhumAn scenes as this. The
blame lies somewhere, and the people wAdt to
know who Is responsible for this outrage.
