How Insane Men Are Treated in

THE MURDER OF ROBERT BURNS.
An Awful List of AtrOcities-Fiends For At
tendants-The Disclosures of a Plucky
RepOrter-His Experiences.

No more narrowing story of heartlesS bru-
tality has ever been told than that of the in
human treatment, eliminating in the murder,
Of Robert Burns, an insane man, by the
iendiSh attendants at the jefferson Insane
asylum in Chicago. The public is not infre-
quently startled by tales of the unnatural out
RACES perpetrated upon the insane, but it is
not often that the details are so revolving, so
heart sickening and so calculated to make
men marvel at such fearful cruelty as in this
case. Insomuch that the case is attracting a
vast deal of attention throughout the United
States just now, it may be well to state how
this particular case first reached the public.

Tho Tramps' Code.

"Tho tramps' signal code" has attracted
some attention, but if there is one, it is prob
ably understood only by those of the imme-
date neighborhood. 1t is said to consist of
rude drawings on gate posts, fences, etc, in
dicating "bad dogs" danger" ''safe," ETC.,
but many country people declare they have
looked long and carefully for such signs with,
out finding any. There is stronger proof
that such a system is seldom used, in the fact
that families who persistently refuse to feed
tramps are still called on by the fraternity
and, as far as one can judge, quite as often
as the charitable. Occasionally, however,
an incident occurs Of such horror and wide
spread notoriety that all the tramps in the
country near of it and govern themselves &C,

lar patient named Phillips held one Of his
hands and beat him about the shoulders
The Billy referred to is an overgrown boy of
10 who has been an inmate of the asylum for
five years. He is simpleton, but is permit
ted by the attendants to beat the patients
In order to dress the sore on Burns leg it
was thought necessary to remove his heavy
shoe. This was done, and the poor fellow,
not knowing what was coZning, began to
moan Croghan used the vilest language
Imaginable, and finally jumped on the bench
beside Burns and kicked him in the side until
it seemed the mans ribs would surely be
broken While Croghan kicked him in the
side Richardson kicked him in the stomach
A powder was put on the mans leg and he
WINGED Ike one in pain. Croghan then
picked up his heavy shoe and struck Burns
on the head with the heel. One blow cut a
CASH nearly two inches long, from which the
blood poured freely. Croghan then ordered
Simpleton Billy to bring bucket and large
sponge. The settee was covered with blood
and even the floor was stained with the fluid
that had spouted from Burns head. A few
moments afterward chair was placed in the
center of the hall and Burns was forced into
it. Croghan then cut the hair Immediately
around the wound on the head and dressed 1t
with salve and cloth.
Burns had no desire for food and had to be
led into the dining room when the meals were
ready. The dining room was furnished with
rude benches, and the inmates were obliged
to sit wedged so close together that they
could hardly move. The strong patients
would rush in first, and by the time Burns
came the seats would lie full It became nee
essary for him to mount bench and crowd
his way in. This would cause him to hurt
his leg, and he would hesitate. The hesita-
ton was always sufficient provocation for
blows.
The simpleton Billy struc!: Burns nearly
every day. After the first dressing the mans
leg was neglected for nearly week. One
day some thirty-ive of the patients were
taken out walking under the charge of At
tendant Richardson. The reporter was with
them. When he returned he found Burns
on the cot in their little room and
Croghan was dressing his leg. The reporter

could only appreciate the general effect, but
could not analyze the details Is it any Won
der that Burns was also confused!
At all times the mans mind seemed to be
blank Perhaps it would be better to say
that he always seemed dazed. He never vol
unfairly said a single word and rarely an
swered even when spoken to. 1t was rather
difficult to gain his attention, but when he
understood he obeyed readily enough.
Immediately after the three new patients
had entered the ward Burns was ordered to
sit down He stared blankly at the attend
ant and started to walk along the hall.
He was pushed violently upon one of the
se,tees by Attendant Croghan, who said:
I'D damn you, sit down" After looking
around in a vague and helpless way for mo-
ment he arose again, but had only taken few
stems when Attendant Richardson seized him

1t is quite certain that Burns did not com

not know what he was expected to do. ais
only sensation at that time was rear: he
started to walk again when Attendant Klcn-
ardson ran after him, caught him by the col

and kicked him as he lay on the floor. When
Burns got up Richardson kicked him In the
stomach, knocking him backward upon one
of the settees Attendants Croghan, Rich

Charles Beck, a reporter on the staff of The
Chicago Times some time ago determined tc
feign insanity in order to gain admittance tC
the detention hospital and the jefferson In
sane asylum. Stories of the brutal treat
mont Of the inmates of these institutions had
impelled him TO the determination to investi,
gate the facts for his paper. How he gained
admittance to the detention hospital and the
asylum, and how he was treated at these
places, he has recited at considerable length
in daily articles in The Times. The main
facts of his story will be here presented. But
Et may not be amiss to first give that part of
his story which relates to the murder of
Burns of which he was an accidental wit
aleSs.
THE TORTURE OF DURNs
Burns was a good looking healthy Irish
imam whose mind had become temporarily up
set He was brought to the detention hospital
Tuesday night, April g. The reporter for
The Times who investigated the detention
hospital and Jefferson asylum was at the
former institution under the name of Charles
