EDWARD NJ FIELD REFUSES TO EAT AND CYRUS
w. CANNOT.

EDWARD NJ. FIELD REFUSES TO EAT AND CYRUS
W. CANNOT
Edward NJ Field has refused all solid food with
the exception OF piece OF toas.. since he left Mount
Vernon Asylum, and if he does not soon take some
nonshment he certainly will starve himself TO death
On the day of his arrival at Ludlow Street Jail he ate
one piece OF Toast and drank little tea Since that
time not a particle Of solid food has he TASTED. He
positively refused 10 eat anything the jail officials
placed before him. The only thing that has passed
his Hps during the las. two days is little sweet
milk "And what he has taken Of that would not
keen cat alive said the doorkeeper at the Jail last
night
The attendants at the prison say Mr.. Field has
become emacated since he has been in confinement
there and his condition plainly shows that he is In
serious condition.
The only callers he had yesterday were Drs. Field
Cosby and Douglas. The three physicians were with
him some time. The attendants say that the prisoner
talked to the physicians freely, but that he las
refused since he has been an Inmate there to have
ANYTHING 10 say to anybody except his friends
and the medical men.
When Drs Douglas and Cosby left him they de
clined to make any statement regarding Mr. Fields
condition, as they said they desired to continue the
examination OF his today. DR.. Field, however
said that the patient in his opinion, suffering from
what he called financial MANIA" lie does not seem
TO be able to talk about anything but stocks and
bonds" said the doctor to one OF the attendants.
The condition OF Cyrus W. Field, too Is most serious
and in many respects resembles the condition OF his
SON. For two days he has refused all food and for
that length Of time has not taken as much nourshment
as Edwin NJ Field The sight OF food is nauseatng 10
him. and the only thing that his stomach will retain
is water II his present condition continues much
longer he too will starve 10 DEATH as he is becoming
much emac.ated and grows weaker and weaker every
hour Dr. Fuller said yesterday that his patients
nervous system is In little better CONDITION tiah II
