There was perceptible decrease in

@. T. Duniway eworn-Am q nurse in
the county hospital and have been 80
for eight years. Do not see any material
change in the management Of the hos
pital since DR.. Brainard left. Had
charge OF thesurgical ward. Operations
are sometimes to be performed by Drs.
Kurtz, Mat Gowan and others. The
hospital is always kept very cleanly and
nobody mas complained within my hear
ing. Do not know OF any man having
fractured limbs being told by DR.. Par
sons "Shut up, what in hell are you cry
ing sbout?" Never saw rough usage by
DR.. Parsons towards man brought i'll
with broken leg. Plenty of hot water
was to be had at all occasions but think
three days in the week are enough for
the supply of water last May but the
unusual number OF men that caused the
trouble.
Mr.. Hanley-What do you know about
cat being seen in your ward with
human heart in its mouth?
II never saw anything of the sort in
my life."
Mr.. Rush--Do you cay DIR. Hagan al
ways makes daily rounds and visits
your ward each day?
"Yes sir"
"Have you rot sometimes given pa
tients no bath for several days after
arrival?'
Sometimes 1 have, but it was gen.
orally in cases where they were ex-
hausted by travel. Have been there
eight years, and my wages are $40 per
month. Never told Mrs. Landt the hos
pital WAS in bad fix and it was time
that somebody was doing something
with it."

W. M. Davis, sworn-"Am deputy
sheriff at county hospital and have
charge of the insane at that place. Have
been employed there as nurse, and
subsequently as deputy sheriff; for the
last two years. Have noticed DR.. Hagan
in his intercourse with the patients.
! He is uniformly kind and gentle to ward
, them
Ibid Mrs. Tischauser escape from the.
hospital while you were in charge of
her?"
'She did, but she was not in my charge
! at the time of her escape."
Continuing further, witness said he
was in charge of the operating room for
the lasttwo years. He knew nothing
about cat eating human heart and
saw nothing of it till he read OF it in
! the papers. He had seen dog with
human hand in his mouth, but thinks
he dug it; he knew the feeble-minded
girl called May and never saw any man
hugging her.

November 26th; was we'll cared for by

"Did you not complain to Mrs. Landt

cine?"
II told her I wanted cod liver oil,
which DIR. Parsons refueed to give me,
and that went to DR.. Hagan with a
complaint, and he ordered cod liver oil
to be given to me at once. never heard
