QUEER DISPENSARY CASE
YOUNG MAN LOSES POWER OF
SPEECH AS RESULT OF BLOW.
struck in the Head with Beer Glass
at Iron MoIders' Picnic at
Hammond's Grove.

Drs. Young and Devaney, OF the City
Dispensary, last night had one of the
strangest and most interesting cases that
has ever come into the Dispensary for
treatment Earnest Claypool. twenty
three years old. living at 210 West Pratt
street. was the subject. He had been
struck on the head with a beer glass and
rendered speeches.. although he retained
all of his mental faculties and did not lose
consciousness as a result of the blow The
fingers of his right hand were also be-
numbed so that he had no feeling in them.
When Claypool came into the Dispensary
he was accompanied by several OF his
friends. He could not speak and wrote on
prescription blanks the symptoms and
cause OF his ailmont. He said he had been
to the iron moldess' picnic at Hammond's
grove and that an unknown man struck
him twice the left side of the head
above the ear with beer glass. He SAID
he had never before seen the man who did
it and believed that he was mistaken for
some one else He was standing near the
bar at the time and the blow Frustrated
him over the edge of II. However, he did
not lose consciousness. but as soon as he
recovered from dazed feeling and tried
to speak his voice failed him. He tried
to converse but 10 no purpose. Realizing
his predcament he and his friends at once
started for the City Dispensary for treat
ment.
The case was explained to the physicians
at the Dispensary by Claypoors friends
and he himself wrote TO the doctors con-
corning his trouble. One OF his notes said:
Il saw the man and tried to tell the police
but couldn't talk The police know him,
or at least they saw him." After he had
been treated for some time he wrote 10
the doctors: IT am better now than at
first. ! couldn't speak at first. ! have no
feeling in my fingers" This note was writ
ten after sedatives had been administered,
and Claypool improved so that he could
pronounce few words but not carry on
a conversation.
Claypool did not seem to be suffering
from any pain and remembered all the de-
tails of the attack with distinctness. He
said an officer was near by when the man
struck him and took hold OF the stranger
but afterward let him go His friends also
say that Claypool was not in trouble and
that the stranger struck him without cause.
