A RAVING MANIAC.
Carpenter kaldenbach Becomcs IN
sane From Effects Of blood Poison.


sane From Effects of blood Poison.
James H. Kaldenbacn, carpenter, whose
Ia me is at No. 9O6 18th street northeast,
was sent to the insane asylum today by
Sanitary Officer Frank. He is raving
maniac. and his condition is due to blood
pcisoning, resulting from a cut in his hnger.
Several weeks ago, while working in
sawmill en- 14th street, Mr.. kaldenbach cut
his finger by accident. The wound did not
zeal properly, and evidences of blood pois-
or ing were noticed. The carpenters mind
became affected, and yesterday his condi-
ticn became so alarming that the police mad
to take him from his home for his own
protection, as well as for the safety OF his
wife. While locked up at the ninth precinct
station he became violent, and beat his
head against the walls with such force that
several ugly cuts were Inflicted.
Because of this violent outbreak and the
v ounds he had received, he was transferred
TO the Emergency Hospital. where his head
rec eived attention, and ne was given quar-
tiers much better than police cell.
Speaking of the case today, a policeman
said he was tired Of witnessing these sad
Incidents In the police stations. Prison
cells, he said are not ut places for sick
reople; but until better accommodations are
provided by the authorities the police can
do nothing other than put such patients in
the station quarters. Major Moore has
frequently recommended an appropriation
for a house of detention, and in such an
II stitution insane persons arrested could be
placed in padded cells. where they will not
be in danger Of inturing themselves.
