Insane Prisoners.

In a recent issue we called ntten-
ton to the necessity for a new build
ing for the incarceration OF the
criminal insane in the prison grounds.
The necessity for such building is
again made clear by a tragedy which
occurred in that institution on Mon
day. Two insane convicts-Jacob
Rosenmeyer and John Brady--were
confined in a cell together in the
hospital. Without cause or pro-
vocation, Brady struck Rosenmeyer
over the head and killed him: His
Jaw was broken and his skull frac
tured and he regal ned con-
seriousness. An inquest was held,
and DR.. Thorpe aud the jury returned
a verdict in accordance with the facts
Rosenmeyer came to the p%enitentiary
in April 81, 1894. Brady was sent
from Buchanan county in November
10, 1891, under sentence Of five
years. There had been no trouble
whatever between the two men, and
, the act was q freak Of an insane
man.
