The insane Hospital investigation


The Augusta Journal says that the visiting
committee to the Insane Hospital, to whom
were referred the communication of the trus-
tees of the Maine Insane Hospital, have at
tended to the duty assigned them, and report
that the charges made in the Bangor CONNER
cial, of alleged abuses of Norris M. Tukesbury
of Bangor, late patient of the Insane Hos
pital. are but the vagaries of disordered
mind. The committee visited Mr.. Tewksbury,
and he made no charges against any one ex-
cept attendant E. j. Williams. Mr.. Tewks-
bury says he was as sane as ever he was when
taken to the hospital, though admitting that
he had, a few days before, been a little wild.
All the material facts stated by Mr.. Tewks-
bury are unequlvocally denied by the united
testimony of the officers from Bangor, the at
tendants and officers of the Hospital Messrs.
Nickerson and Farnham, who took Tewksbury
from Bangor to the Insane Hospital, refute his
statement that he was "as sane as he ever
was, = and state that he was violent, raving
maniac, and was with difficulty restrained
from doing personal violence to himself.
Three resident physicians testified that he
was received into the Hospital, and an exam
nation of the written history of the case as it
appears in the hospital record book of cases,
shows that he was very violent, noisy, using
meaningless words and sentences. He tore of
his clothes and was in a naked condition, con-
-S6SbiCulatluS anu uiluooI WIN
his fist, and doing many strange things.
The Superintendent and resident physicians
testify that he was not in condition to judge
correctly of what transpired during the three
days that he was in a raving condition; that he
was a fit subject to strange Authorizations and
wrong impressions. The several attendants
who were with him also bear witness to his
continual noisy and violent rawlings during the
period of three days referred to. A very par
ticular and careful examination disclosed moth
ing in the treatment of Mr.. Tewksbury, from
the time he entered the hospital until he left.
it that should subject any of the officers or at
tendants of that institution to censure or criti-
cism. atsH ~ g5nza
( The only time that Mr.. Tewksbury alleges
that he was the subject of cruel treatment was
during the "a hours he was confined in the
"lodge." He exonerates every officer and at
tendant except Williams. Tewksbury says he
was in the ''lodge'' two days. He is evidently
mistaken. All the officers and attendants OF
the hospital testify that Williams is one of the
best and most humane attendants in the hos
pital. He has been an attendant for five years
without any previous complaint against him,
and his character stands unimpeached. The
testimony clearly refutes what has been said
by Mr.. Tewksbury.
