Mimi, Aug. 20.-A revolving
case of cruelty came to light this evening
10 the suburbs of this city. Detective
Thomas Hayden, accompanied by several
police officers and the reporter, acting on
information received, proceeded to the
house of James Lindberg. demanded adj
mittance and asked for the "old man."
Unwilliugly Lindberg led the way through
a lanentably filthy house and in one cor
ner in a room SKI feet, the door to which
was heavily barred and locked, they found
Andrew S~pansberg, said to be 81 years
old. literally reeking with vermin and foul
with his own excrenent. On a bard
bed. not two feet wide, he tossed
and chartered incoherently aud his almost
sightless eyes told OF abitct fear at the
sound of voices. He was wrapped in
quilts and removed oone of the hospitals.
Inquiry developed the fact that he had
been a comparative prisoner in the loom
Tor years, his reason slowly ebbing away.
lie came to America, leaving his wife in
sweden twenty years ago, He acquired
considerable property, and when decrepi.
tude came on he willed it to the children
OF Lindberg, and it is believed that a de-
lberate attempt has been made 10 hasten
the old mans death by i'll treatment,
coupled with frequent beatIngs and other
abuse.
