death of William Morrow. the man
who wandered frcrn Weyerhorst's hos
pital one night last winter while in n
state Of delirium. and froze to death.
TIC suit is brought by Elizabeth Tor
row. the widow Of the deceased. ana
she asks for $4,000. In her complaint
she recites that besides herself. the de-
ceased left four children, as follows:
Maggie Ida, aged -; Eliza Ann. aged
10; Thomas, aged s. and James. aged 3.
She further complained that the de
PENDANT pretended to be a regularly
licensed and duly authorized practi-
toner of medicine and surgery, with
office and hospital in the city Of Butte.
on February 2, the plaintiff and her
husband resided in the town
of Basin, jefferson county. where
the husband took sick and need
ed the services of a competent physi
clan and surgeon. He had a brother,
Thomas Morrow, living in Butte. who
sent the defendant to Basin for the
purpose OF advising the plaintiff what
to do with her sick husband. The de-
PENDANT was not requested to take
charge of the sick man, but he then
and there falsely and fraudulently and
untruthfully represented to the plant
iff that he had been instructed by
Thomas Morrow to bring the sick man
to Butte. to which the plaintiff oh
jected. as the weather was too severe
to take him out of the house. but she
was induced to allow 1t to be done on
the positive assurance of the defend
ant that he had been so directed by
Thomas Morrow, when in truth he
had not been; and the removal of the
sick man at that time was under
fraudulent misrepresentation. He was
brought to Butte on the defendants
own responsibility. and against the
judgment and protest of the plaintiff.
Upon the arrival in Butte he was TAX
en- to the defendants hospital, and
Thomas Morrow, believing that the
sick man needed a watcher to look
after him during the night. requested
Of the defendant the privilege of re-
naming with the patient. but the de-
PENDANT refused to permit it. assuring
him that the hospital was fully equip
ped with skillful nurses, and further
stating that the patient should have
and receive the personal attention of
the defendant, and William Morrow
was left in his especial care and Gus
tody, being Vunableyt o 1careo for him
self. Thereafter, as the plaintiff is in
formed and believes. the defendant adj
ministered to said William Morrow
powerful treatment, which resulted In
his becoming unconscious of what he
was doing, and when In that state was
neglected and totally abandoned by
the defendant; and the said William
Morrow left the hospital alone and
went out doors on cold, stormy
night, and when about 800 feet from
the hospital died, to the damage of
the plaintiff and her children I'm the
sum of 10000. for which amount judg-
ment is asked against the defendant.
