was u revolt az the Matteawsn state
hospital for the criminal insane last
evening, when six or eight keepers
were assaulted and oyerpowercd by
shout twenty insane patients. Some
Of the patients escaped. and seven are
stil al large. One or two Of the keep
ers ARE badly bruised.
After she patients had been givcn
their supper they were taken back 10
their apartments 10y their keepers.
Among the number were fifteen or
twenty who slept In one of the iarg.
corridors, where there were ak or
eight keepers.
There were no suspicious move
meuts ON the part of the patients un-
til suddenly and without warning each
keeper was attacked simultaneously
by two or three patients. and heavy
hlowA fell on the heads Of the sur.
priKrd attendants. The keys held by
the keepers were soon taken from
them, and = rush was made for the
door.
As the patients passed through the
dining room each Que of them picked
from the table heavy plate ar cup
or bowl. From the dining room they
went through the adjoining rooms,
the dnorA OF which were unlocked,
and then into the long ball leading 20
the rear exit.
Through the yard they ran like deer
snd crowded around the big gate In
the wall. while one Of their number
was turning the key in the lock. Wheu
the gate was thrownope they rushed
out Of the yard. fairly tumbiing over
each other In their anxiety TO be free
again.
In the meantime The keepers rccov-
cred from the surprise given them by
their assailants, and gave su alarm
Chase was given across the hospital
farm, and nll but seven of the pa
/ ticnts were captured. The keep
crs then took the rccaptured pa
tieuts back to the institution and had
them securely locked up In other
parts of the building. by this time
The keepers had formed several
ocarching parties, and they all start
ed out 10 ncour the woods In the vi.
einity of the hospital. The keepers
who were assaulted were given medi.
cal attention. aud joined In the search
for the fuRiiiycs.
The revolt. 1t In thought. was
caused directly by the cramped quar-.
