Alleged Cruelty I'm an Insane Asylnm
Buffalo, Feb. ll.-F. B. Churchill, an at
tendant of the new state insane asylum al
Buffalo, who resigned last December, has
made statement inculpating two keepers
with using terrible brutality TO number of
the patients. Churchill says they we're con
tinually Dragging about the manner in which
they abused the patients at Utica. One of
their victims here was John Tursey, who on
one occasios they choke1 with towels so that
they had to blow in his mouth to bring
him TO. Another time they ismmed him
into tub, holding his head under wator
until he was almost drowned, and then
pounded him in the stomach. Once after
pounding him they sat him in chair with
such force the wall was broken. They ex-
planned to DR.. Andrews that the patient had
caused the damage, and when the doctor left
they exclaimed to one another: " got out
of that pretty sick, didn't [! The doctor
took it all in" Three other patients, named
Abraham Vedder, Archibald Farmer, and a
conductor named White, were also treated
in similar manner. Churchill says that
when he threatened to report matters he WAS
told with an oath to report, as the doctor
would not believe him. He therefore re-
signed sooner than witness any more of their
brutality.

Department.


Department.
To the Editor of the Ledder:
The election for a chief of the fire
department will be held on tomorrow
evening at city hall. Mr.. George A.
Coffman, the present efficient assis-
tant chief, is a candidate for chief.
Mr.. Coffman was, during the past
year, acting chief for an extended PEE
riod, and during that time he demon
ttrated the possession of the requisite
qualities for the position. Several i'm
portant events occurred during that
time, and Mr.. Coffman was equal to
the emergency. When the water main
broke at the corner of Eddy and Seven
teenth streets, Mr.. Coffman superin-
tended the work of reoair night and
day and stood by until it was COM
pleted. His faithfulness and energy on
this occasion were highly commended
at the time by the press, the people and
the liremen. As to the management of
fires, Mr.. Coffman lacks neither skill
nor experience. He is gentleman of
intelligence and probity. and if elected
as chief would be an honor to the de-
partment. Those firemen who appre-
ciate the qualities spoken of should turn
out te.mcrrcw nigh. end vote FOR Mr..
