HAS HYSTERIA.
Miss Hendricks Who Was Shot
by Hummer in a Disorder
ed Nervous State.

The case of VIII o. Hummer charged
with shooting Lucinda Hendricks with
intent to kill comes up in the district
court tomorrow morning
Miss Hendricks is now able to be up
and to walk around but she is still
weak from the wound and from her
confinement and is in a nervous state
bordering on hysteria-
Every little noise even in the day
makes me jump" she said this morning
to Chief Strauss who visited her at the
Salvation Army hospital for the pur-
pose of finding out whether she was
able to appear in court tomorrow or
not. Every night 1 dream that 1 am
about to be shot and I have a, constant
dread that something is going to hap
pen. am so nervous cannot shake
off this dread"
'WilI you appear in court against
Hummer" asked Chief Strauss.
Yes" she answered with deterrnina-
ton. But do not see how 1 can live
through it. I cannot think of meeting
that brute face to face"
Can you remember any of the de-
tails of the ride the day he shot your
mo, cannot. We went north on
Kansas avenue and drove back towards
town but can remember out little else.
I am afraid that if he is sent to the
penitentiary that after he gets out he
will kill me or get some one else to. All
that day that 1 was riding with
him prayed to God that he would not
kill me and 1 think that was all that
saved me. One day at home took his
revolver and took the shells out and hid
the revolver. If I had not done that I
believe he would have shot me then.
One day when we. were in Oakland he
had two loaded revolvers with him and
I believe he meant to kill me that day.
I do not know what to do. 1 do not
want to leave the hospital. They have
been so kind to me and 1 do not Swant
to go home
The members of the Central Congre-
gational church are taking an interest
in Miss Hendricks and will probably
look out for her welfare when she
leaves the hospital

Washington. Sept. 3-Surgcon Gem
eral Sternberg sent the following letter
to New York medical publishing
house, which had made inquiries Of
him concerning the conduct of the war
with respect to the medical depart
ment and especially about the subject
or having an immediate investigation
or his bureau. He said:
Il am ready ut any moment for Il
complete investigation with respect to
my administration of the affairs of the
medical department.; but the war de-
partment is not disposed to favor any
investigation us the result of scnsa-
tlonal newspaper articles. There is at
present IN evident craze to criticise
without regard to foundation or JUS
tice. l have no doubt there will be
congressional investigation into the
conduct of the war; but l do not feel
at liberty Mt present to insist upon any
investigation for my own yindication,
because it would be contrary to the in
terests of the service. 1t would make
1t necessary for me to give ND all the
Important official work, which at Tres
ent almost overwhelms HE, for the pur-
pose of devoting myself to the presen-
tation of the facts relating to my adj
mlnlstratlon. 1t would make it neceS-
sary to take clerks away from their
daily tasks in order to look up the doc
umentary evidence on file in my Of
flee, and in the meantime important
matters would be necessarily neglected
and the sick IN all parts of the country
would suffer. 1t would make it neces-
sary to call upon the medical officers
who are now urgently needed for the
care Of the sick in our various camps
and hospitals to come to Washington
as witnesses. and all this to satisfy the
clamor of Irresponsible newspaper re-
porters. There has been no official
complaint with reference to my ad-
ministration of the medical depart
ment.
In regard to Nlontauk Point, l in
tend to send at once Lieut.. Charles
Smart, an experienced officer and the
professor of hygiene in our army med
ical school, to make Il thorough sani
tary investigation.
ITO 60 myself, much as l would like
to do so, would be to neglect impor-
tant official duties in connection with
the supply of hospitals. the movement
of my hospital trains, OF hospital ships,
