Died i'm the Station House of Chronic In
fammation of the Brain.

CHICAGO, July 31.-A man named Jacob
Erb suddenly died in the Police Court last
Monday from the supposed effects of long
continued intoxication. An inquest was
held to-day, at which County Physician
Bluthart created a sensation and caused the
officers faces to pale when he testified that
Jacob Erb died of chronic Inflammation of
the brain, and was no drunkard, but very
sick man. 'The great mistake" he said,
that the police did not diagnose the mans
case. He was carried into the station in a
semi-unconscious condition and booked for
drunkenness, whereas he was only sick. This
goes to show the necessity of medical ex-
aminer at the police stations oguard against
the incarceration of persons under similar
circumstances" The policeman examined
/. thought they had in no wise exceeded their
prerogatives. The jury returned verdict
that Jacob Erb died of chronic meningitis,
paralysis of the heart and lungs following.
