Looks Like An Outrage.

John Hamilton, an employee ofthe Mor>
ris Plains Asylum, was some days ago
committed to Jail in default of bail. on the
charge of one ofthe Asylum physicians for
assulting and maltreating patient of the
institution. There was at the time great
deal OF apparent righteous wrath manifest
ed by the Asylum management over the
alleged cruel treatment of the patient at the
hands of Hamilton.
The callow young doctor who swore aut
the complaint against Hamilton was filled
to over-fowing with virtuous indignation
at the i'll treatment he had witnessed, and
paraded in the role of majestic avenger Of
helpless innocence The Asylum manage
ment broke out in new place, and with
great flourish of trumpets posed before
the world % Il new light. But they overs
did the posing act Hamilton was tried
in Special Sessions on Thursday, anil it was
clearly proven that he used no undue force,
but simply defended himself against the
sudden attack of one of the most dangerous
patients in the institution. and that said pa
tient was not bruised and maltreated as the
management would have the public believe.
but was simply subdued and brought to
terms under The rules and regulations nec>
essary to the proper control and manages
ment of unfortunates such as he Six fel~
low attendants testified that no undue force
was used, and that the alleged bruises did
not appear on the patients person. They
also testified that Hamilton was one of
the best and most experienced attendants
in the institution, and it also appears that
he came to Morris Plains with the best 0.
recommendations from similar institii>
tons, and was man peculiarly fitted or
such position by reason of his unusual
experience with insane paients.
Senator Werts defended Hamilton and
pretty thoroughly sfled and exposed the
Interior motives prompting the manifestly
unjust and unwarranted charge. Judge
Child in rendering his decision severely
criticised the Asylum management. and
then discharged the prisoner. A collec
ton was taken up among fellow attend
ants TO employ counsel, and the head Of
the movement was discharged by the
management for thus helping friend
Another investigation would perhaps be in
order

made step towards the door.
Martin had no thought of letting him
go, but he didn't mind playing with him
a moment.
"Your name Is not Dennis Costello.
you say9'
mo, sir, my name Is not Dennis Cos

take my leave" As he advanced towards
the door Rush made movement as
though to stop him, but Martin winked
at him and at the door, the knob Of
which Costello hastily turned. As the
door opened the giant form Of johnson
appeared in the hall
'At lastl" exclaimed johnson, whose
face was almost black with rage. "At

Martin sprang forward and released
Costello's throat from Johnson's grasp,
for he didn't want justice to be out
witted in this way. Costello saw that
there was no use in denying his identity
any longer. johnson knew him and he
knew johnson. Hestepped back out of his
assailant's reach and gently touched his
throat with his fingers as though to see
il any harm had been done.

Don't you talk about brutes, Dennis

pated an early denouement. They were
assured of one thing. which was that the
apartment of Mime. Fanny, Countess de
Paris. was the place where they would
be most likely to capture Costello. Mar
tin had worked up number Of clews,
and he was thoroughly satisfied that
Costello would be caught under Nine
Fanny's roof. He learned that he had
been lover of Nine. Fanny. and that,
although he had lost his taste for her,
she was still enamored Of him, and for
the sake Of seeing him occasionally and
being in his confidence she was even
willing to help him in his affairs with
other women.
What most surprised Rush about this
establishment Of Nine. Fanny's was
that apparently respectable women Wis.,
tied it. They usually came closely
yelled. and there was one whom he had
seen as she passed his door whose figure
haunted him. He certainly had met
that woman somewhere, but where he
could not tell He thought of putting
himself in her way some day, to see IT
she recognized him. but then he remem-
bered that he did not want to be recog-
nized. no he avoided meeting her,
though his curiosity was aroused to the
highest pitch. This mysterious lady was
dressed in mourning and wore long
thick crepe veil, and he noticed that she
came in hired coupe which waited for
her few doors away.
While awaiting developments in the
Costello case Rush had plenty Of time to
think. He would have had time to read,
too, If he had wanted to. but he couldn't
bring his mind to 1t. As usual thing
he could find diversion in "Henry Es-
mond." but somehow or other he could
not keep his mind on the page. Hecould
read no name but that Of Helen Knowl-
ton in the lines before him, so he set the
book aside and thought. He thought OF
