DR.. Herman Will be ae
New superintendent.

CHICAGO, May IS.-The hearing of the
application for the release of Dora Viii
lard, sn inmate of the Cook county in-
sane asylum, vas begun III the county
court this morning. Mrs Shedd, of the
Woman's Protection association, testified
that the asylum was overcruwded; that
there was not enough seats for the pa
tients, who were therefore com PEELED to
sit on the floor; shat the county was
paying nine cents a pound for hog
snou 5, which were being fed to patients
there was much drunkenness il the in
stitUtioE and there have been some cases
of scurvy, Dr. kiernsn, the prominent
sup Nrintendeut, had improved the CON
dition of affairs. DR.. Hunt, of the
asylum medical staff, testified that there
were 1000 patients in the restitution
whica is calculated 10 accommodate 600
at the outside, and the number OF attend
ants is much TOO limited.
Evidence was introduced to
the effect that patients were fed
on pigs heads for an entire year, with
potatoes for vegetables once q week
There wa no servics and patients fought
for possession of the potatoes with the
result that the weak got none aud thai
over fifty of the inmates became afflicted
with scurvy. One of the medical! staff
testified that in one ward there
are tsenty-elght violent patients with
only nine rooms, or an average of three
in q room. 1t Was absolutely necessary to
have only one or two IN some of the
rooms, so that four persons were crowd
ed into others. These rooms were ,
by 10 feet in size, and the beds are ,
feet wide, but III many cases the patients
forced to sleep in them.
Under such circumstances with
insufficient attendants, the patients
would climb over the cots and fight and
the medical attendance was frequently
called six or eight times in single night
to go To patients who were attempting
to commits murder or suicide. This state
of affairs was reported to the members
Of the county board again and again, but
nothing WAS done to remedy it
Much other revolving testimony was
brought in.

this afternoon passed Il resolution nam
ing a committee of prominent citizens
to recommend a suitable person to sue
