HOPELESSLY INSANE.
Denver's Would-bc Suicide Goes From
Delirimm Into Insanity.

DENVER, Colo, May g. Especial Telegram
to the BEE. Hon. Ben. Robbins, the Ken
lucky statesman and lawyer, who was ap-
pointed assistant United States district at
torney under Mr.. Hobson, and who attempted
to commit suicide few days since by cutting
his own throat, is thought to be hopelessly
insane. His friends had him removed to st.
Luke's hospital the other day upon the ad-
vice of physicians who are undecided as to
the extent of his injuries, believing that
thorough course of treatment would be
necessary to restore his former mental
ability. He has entirely recovered from the
delirium occasioned by drink, but his mind
wanders more than ever before. He i'm
agines that Mr.. Hobson performed the sur
gical operation from which he suffers, and
believes that his chef is still after him with
murdcrous intentions. So completely is he
imbued with these thoughts that he has made
several Intellectual efforts to escape To in
tensify the sad condition of Mr.. Robbins, his
Denver friends recently received letter
from his father stating that it would be i'm
possible for him TO leave Kentucky at pres
ent, as one of Ben's brothers is on his death
bed, and his demise is looked for almost any
hour. The doctors have reached the con-
Clusion that the knife used by Mr.. Robbins
must have severed or damaged nerve lead
ing to the brain, and in consequence he will
never recover his once bright intellect.
