AN INSANE MANS PATIENCE.
Took Him Three Years to Make n
Key, But 1t Was q Good One.
(Fron the Chicago Inter-Ocean.


During the recent visit of the Legisla-
tive EnQuiring Committee to the Eastern
Indiana Hospital for the Insane, Superln-
tendent Smith pointed out the only patti
ent in the institution who is wearing a
pair of leather gloves chained to a belt.
Such is this mans ingenuity that Il his
hands were not fastened the institution
would be in constant trouble bet lu;,e OF
his skill In picking locks. He came from
Cleveland md, and was committed be-
cause Of homicidal tendencies.
Three times he escaped, notwithstand-
ing the vigilance of the attendants. each

ne was recaptured. After his third re-
capture the riot act was read to his
attendants, but a fourth time he got
away, leaving no trace of mischief behind
him Again ne fled to Fort Wayne, and
there the hospital authorities found him.
After his return the superintendent be
gan quizzing him as TO the manner OF
escape, and the patient laughinSiy as
serted that it was by means OF pass key.
The patient was SO elated over the dis
ComftuTe of the attendants that he was
willing to describe the process Every
attendant had pass key of peculiar
make, and he ilattered the attendant that
he could make perfect picture Of his
key.

he concealed, while he surrendered the
other Some time before he had found

room. 1t was part of his duty to assist in
carrying food to the patients, and upon
entering the kitchen he always complain
ed of feeling cold, and while warming
himself behind the range he placed the
knife blade to the heated surface. 1t
took two years to heat it sufficiently to
draw the temper out, and he spent an
other year filing the knife so that it could
be used as a key.
Meanwhile the attendants had pecoine
suspicious that he contemplated an es-
cape. and nightly his clothing was taken
away and placed in two different rooms.
The guard passed his bed every half hour
during the night but he watched his op-
portunity and finally got all his cloth
ing in hand, and after the guard had
made his first round he unlocked the
doors and walked away, refastening them
as he passed.
The key is now preserved among the
curios of the institution. a peculiar fea-
ture is that the patient was unaccustom-
ed to the use of tools before admission to
the hospital, and never displayed any me-
chanical ingenuity until he began con-
niving his own escape.
