good deal of comment here. At the time Hughes received his injuries Dr. Gray was away from the asylum attending 8 private patient, of which he has many. An autopsy was made on the body of the deceased at his home in Madison county, and it was found that every rib in his body was broken and that one rib forced clear into one lung. The doctors say such injuries could, only have been produced by jumping on his pfostrrte body. The story goes that Hughes was put in the suicidal ward and then changed into the homicidal ward He became violent and an attendant fearing his inability to control him called to his aid some of the Iunatics, who thought it good fun to overpower Hughes. There is considerable feeling in the matter and an effort will be made to have thorough investigation.
