MURDER AT HOSPITAL.
Elmer Arnold, Violently Insane, Beats
VIM. George With Piece Of Iron,
lnflictng Terrible Injuries from Which He
Dies. Thursday Morning.

Elmer Arnold, one of the inmates of
the insane hospital, Wednesday morn
ing, while in violent fit of insanity,
Wrenched the end from Il settee and hit
William George, another inmate,
several times. George as a result Of
the injuries died, Thursday morning at
1870.
Arnold has been considered one of
the harmless patients, and has fire.
quently been allowed to sleep with
other patients. He has never showed
the least sign of violence and his act is
unexplainable. He has been at the hos
ptal for the past four years and has
been model patient. The Journal
was unable to learn his home.
George had been in the hospital a
number\ of times. He belonged in
Rockiand and is survived by a wife
with whom he has not lived for a
number of years.
The deed was committed just after
the patients had been released from
CIlelf sleeping looiilo oAiu "SiS IA 'A'N
corridors When the day nurse come
on, about $50 the patients are allowed
to go out into the halls and spend the
day in roaming around or reading as
they see fit.
Arnold did not seem any different
from usual when he was allowed to go
into the hall He had only been out
a few moments when he suddenly
rushed to settee and wrenched off the
arm which was a heavy piece of iron
He flourished it in the air and struck
two patients before he encountered
George, whom he hit on the front OF
the head, telling him to the floor.
Not satisfied with that he hit him
twice again. The attendants rushed to
the scene and overpowered Arnold. He
was led away and placed in confine-
ment and will not be allowed any liber-
ties in the future
George was picked up and carried
to a bed. Medical aid was promptly
summoned and everything done to save
his life. but the shock was too great,
however. and he did not rally.
Arnold is now rational, and when ne
talks to the attendants he says he has
no knowledge of committing the deed.
His memory on the whole occurrence
is a perfect blank and it was several
hours after he had committed the deed
before he returned to his usual cOndi-
tiOn
