Brutal Aeylum Attendants.

CHICAGO, May 3.-Coroner Hertz and
\ jury began an investigation into the
cause Of the death of Robert Burns, a
patient in the insane asylum at jefferson.
Attendants Richardson, Cregan and
Pecha, who are charged with beating
Burns to death, were present. The dead
mans widow and her brother testified
that Burns was in good health when he
was sent to the asylum, and that the
only abrasion on his body was on one Of
his legs. which had been injured. The
most damaging testimony was that Of
Charles Beck, . reporter, who success.
fully played the insanity dodge and was
admitted TO the asylum. where he
was an eye witness to much Of
the brutal treatment which reduced Burns
in ten days from q strong man to q COM
piete physical wreck, resulting in his
death. The story was one of most revolt
ing and heartless cruelty. The witness
detailed at great length the repeated acts
of brutality which the three accused at
PENDANTS inflicted upon the unfortunate
u He declared that the patient was
not unruly, but seemed daZed and inca
pable of understanding what was wanted
of him. Beck told how, after their ar
rival at the asylum, he and Burns were
given cold baths and then left shivering
in u cold room for fifteen minutes. Then
after examination Burns was ordered to
sit IN "a bench. He seemed not to under
stand and was violently thrown upon it.
Rising in q helpless way, Attendant
Richardson kicked him violently in
the abdomen. Burns again attempted to
rice when the brutality was repeated
Richardson, Crogan and Pecha each TAX
ing part in it. kicking aud striking the
helpless lunatic III the 8 de and stomach
and buising his face with their hands.
They undertook to dress his wounded
leg, jerking him about roughly and caus-
ing him eXcruciatlng agony, meantime
continuing their blows. When the
wounds were dressed Crogan picked up
one of Burns shoes and struck the un-
offending patient over the head with the
heel of ii, cutting a great cash. BY this
time the victim was in n half unconscious
condition. That night Burns, not I'M
dressing promptly when ordered, was
kicked by Richardson in the abdomen
and knocked across the room. This is
only the record Of one days brutality
which was kept up until the mans death
The reporter came out Of the asylum at
the end of ten days. He told how, when
friends secured his release, DR.. Herman
the superintendent Of the asylum, shook
his head ~ominously and advised against
It. He declared the reporter TO be in
curably insane; that be knew this because
he watched the case very closely. Kier-
mans chief-of staff concurred in this
opinion.
A verdict was reached in short order
by the jury finding that Richardson and
Crogan caused Burns death. The two
men, and also Pecha, are already under
indictment for murder. There seems
little doubt that Drs. Herman and Schu-
bert will also have bills OF some kind re-
turned against them by the grand jury.
