of the Deadhouse - Some Evil

The investigation of the charges
against DIR. Hsgan, superintendent OF
the county hospital, was continued by
the board of supervisors yesterday.
The board assembled in the morning
at $3.50 o'clock and after spending about
lthree.quarters of an hour disposing OF
routine matters, the examination of the
various witnesses was begun.
Deputy Sheriff j. ]. Henry testified
that man named Ed. johnson who
had been confined in the Jail had died.
In reply to further questioning he said
that he knew nothing OF the cause OF
the mans death beyond hearsay. -
He was asked whether there was gen.
eraI complaint among the prisoners
against the method of treatment received
from the county hospital officials.
This was objected to by Mr.. York and
after an animated discussion, it WAS
sgreed to so modify the question as to ask
the witness whether he could recall any
caees OF neglect upon the part OF the
hospital physicians. The witness re-
Piled that he had thought on several oc-
fhsluue tlhJ llle1o nau Deen an uHn6C-
essarily long time in replying to calls
for a physician. He did not know
whether they were really neglected or

Ex.Deputy Sheriff J. 9. Wray said
that there had been some occasions
when he thought the county hospital
officials had been unnecessarily long in
Responding to calls from the county Jail.
y, Deputy Sheriff Macy, the jsilor at the
county Jail, testified that DR.. Hagan
would sometimes respond to the calls,
and occasionally DR.. Parsons would
come to treGt the prisoners. He thought
the physicians had been unnecessarily
long in responding on certain occasions.
The reply to the telephone calls was
generally that the physician would come
In the afternoon, or as soon as possible.
4. Mr.. Dillon asked the witness whether
or not he. had stated, before going on
the stand, that there had been a general
reluctance on the part OF prisoners to be
treated by DR.. Hagan and his assist
ants.
sf Mr.. York objected to the question,
and spirited talk between the two at
,torneys resulted.
= Mr.. Dillon said that the public off
Gers had shown great reluctance in tes-
tifyiDg in regard to the matter.
Supervisor Hay declared that. as the
investigation had been etarted. he
wanted it to be conducted thoroughly.
ii DIR. Hagan had been neglecting his
duty he wanted to know it. The re-
marks OF the county officials made else

spoke to her, and that his voice was
about her only objection to him.
Walter Duncan was next examined.
He stated that when he left the hospital
he was much weaker and weighed five
pounds less than when he entered it..
Since he had been away from the hos
pital he had improved and gained some
flesh.
While in the hospital he was exam
ined but once, and that by DR.. Hagan.
The physician passed through the ward
several times, but never took any par
ticular notice of him. While there he
had received nothing but little cough
medicine and some wine. He was not
satisfied with the food or else he would
have stayed in the hospital longer. DR..
Murphy, one of the hospital physicians,
had said he thought there was no medi-
cine that would relieve him. The wit
ness thought that they either did not
understand his case or else did not care.
On the whole, the food was fair enough
but it was not the kind that he could
eat with relish because his stomach was
in very weak condition.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
g. H. Holmes, sworn, resides in Los
hhEOlObs LILO WlbhOeh Whu q hOhb lOOh-
ing man, well dressed and intelligent
looking. He said he entered the county
hospital as patient last October. He
at first went to Or. Hagan's office, where
he was treated for three or four days
was afterwards admitted regularly as
patient in the hospital, by order OF the
supervisors. Entered the hospital in
the evening, and was not examined till
next day noon by one OF the physicians.
be was sick then, and vomiting freely
and frequently. He said that the en-
ployees treated him roughly, calling him
a hobo and other bad names. DR.. Hagan
called him hobo himself.
He saw the inside portion of the dead
house when the floor Was covered with
clotted blood and what looked like
pieces of meat on the floor. He saw a
cat there eating some such meat. Dur
ing the latter part of the time he was in
the hospital, witness was called up at 5
a. m. and obliged to work till at night.
Oross-examined by Judge York, wit
ness said he had not been hired to go
around the city to work up testimony
against DR.. Hagan. Had conferred with
Mr.. Clark about this case, out had not
received any money to work up testi-
mony against DR.. Hagsn or any other
physician.
"How much money did you have
when you reached Los Angeles ?" he was
asked.
Cannot say think l had about 500 /;
not much more nor less"
The witness was then asked how long
he was in the hospital before any medi-
cine was given.
From Monday night to Thursday
noon, and two days before Dr. Parsons
made any examination.
He staid in the ward all the time, and
did not go down to the table before the
18th OF November, having been there a
month.
WAS there not consultation held in
the hospital over your case ?"
Think there was something of the
sort. Some students got in there one
day and stood around my bedside, talk
ing about my caae."
How did you know they were stu

'Did DR.. Hagan ever tell you that you
need not work any more?"
mo. SIR"
"Did he ever speak to DR.. Parsons
about you?"
"Yes, he said I must be taken out of
the dining room, as the work was break
ing me down faster than they could
build me up"
"Did you leave there shen?'
''No, sir. l did not leave there till
left for good"
"Who told you to work there at all ?"
"The man in charge of the dining
room. His name was Dan McCul-
lough."
''Did he call you hobo and a
tramp?"
"He did call me go because 1 could
not get around fast enough with the
dishes."
''Did DR.. Hagan call you one, and if
go where?"
"He did, in his office. I told him I
was sick with diarrhea and wanted to
be treated. He said l had better 60 to
some cheap lodging house and get
treated. He said this was no hotel and
no place for hobos, and the quicker got
away from there the BETTER"
"When did you leave South Dakota ?"
"Could not say positively; arrived in
Seattle last week in September"
"Were you ever arrested and tried
for any criminal offense while in Da-
kota ?"
mo, sir; never"
The counsel questioned the witness
closely as to his whole career and as to
where he had lived and where he had
worked. The witness said he had
worked at Malibu ranch, above Santa
Monica, for Fred Raynes; had also
worked at Santa Ana and at San Fran
cisco; went thence to Bakersfield, thence
to Tulare and came back to Los Angeles
about the 4th OF July; after that went
to Chicago.
In reference to his life, witness said
he had been married but was not now
living with his wife. He had no fault
to find with the food at the hospital,
save that it was always cold when served
ont to him.
When asked how much money he had
said he had S3 when he went into the
hospital and $24 when he came out,
Part Of this money was sent MIN from
relatives in Chicago and part was given
him by friend whom he met on the
train coming across the country.
In reply to Mr.. Hay witness said he
had hid away eggs and milk at the re-
quest of Dan Mccullough; and in reply
to question by Mr.. Forester witness
eaid the milk was frequently watered.
When nurses came suddenly into the
dining room, sometimes they got pure
milk before Mr.. Mccullough had time
to water the milk
Mrs. Johanna Graham, who was an
inmate of the county hospital, WAS the
next witness sworn. She went there
on the third day of July and got no
medicine for three days. Witness had
resided in Alhambra where DR.. Lane
had attended her. In reply TO questions
as TO how DR.. Hagan had examined her !:
There were other patients in the same
ward and woman in the next cot to
her who was always complaining. She
was there three months and DIR. Ha0an
was not near her for the last two weeks

Intelligent physicians are regarding with

to afford greatly needed temporary relief,

basis of its healthful quietude. This is one
