ASSAILED BY LUNATlCs.
An Attendant in an Asylum
Nearly Killed.
WORK or AN INSANE MURDERER.

The Unfortunate Man Throttied and
Beaten Almost Into Insensiblllty, But
Ills Life Is saved by the Timely Arrival
of Assistance.
ELorN, Ills, March. 25.-An extraordinary
occurrence took place at the insane hospital
in this city yesterday. Attendant Mahoney
was alone on duty during the patient' exer-
else hour. He is not very popular with the
patients, and is generally the target Of black
rs from eyes that ordinarily are unob-
servant or dulled by the same cloud that
hangs over their intelleets Among the
hnatics in the ward is a man named McCabe,
who, in a moment Of maniacal passion, conn
mitted an atrocious murder several months
ago
McCabe's Is not a hopeless case and it has
even been said that he is not quite as crazy
as his friends make out. The events Of the
day seem to bear out this statement. At
tendant Mahoney was walking up and down
the corridor wheu the patients among them
murderer McCahe were recreating them
Ives, when suddenly his throat was clutched
from behind and a voice Kissed into his ear.
"It's your turn now It was McCabe who
spoke At the same instant the unfortunate
man was struck on the head by mop handles
in the grip of six other lunatcs, who had APP
parently been melted 70 the attack by
McCabe
The blows rained down mercilessly upon
Mahoney's head. McCabe's grip upon his
throat did not relax until his intended victim
had almost ceased TO breathe. At that mo-
ment assistance arrived in the persons Of other
attendants, who had been attracted 10 the
spot by the huhbuh When McCabe saw that
help was near he lei 90 of Mahoney and boted
toward his CELL the door Of which he quickly
closed The other lunatics who had struck
Alahoney kept on belaboring him until they
were driven Off by the other attendants Some
Of them chuckled and others whimpered, buh
all of them were 50 clearly irresponsible
agcn Of McCabe's plot that no punishment
will hs meted out to them.
McCabes conduct after the assault showed
that he realized fully the enormity Of his
infraction OF hospital discipline Before he
would consent 10 open his cell door he par
leyed with the superintendent and endeavored
TO make terms His cell was finally forced
open and McCabe was put IN a straight jacket
and locked up in CELL the walls Of which
are padded TO prevent a successful attempt at
suicide.
An investigation into his mental condition
has been ordered.
An examination Of Attendant Mahoney's
injuries show that help reached him just in
time. His throat where McCabes fingers
grasped IL shows many contusions. His scalp
and face are cut in a score Of places where he
was struck by the other lunaties
Hereafter attendants viii not be exposed to
similar accidents; in future they viii walk
the wards in couples.
