40 YEARS IN
A ROOM.

Chester. Feb. 5.-The authorities
OF this city are very much perplex-
ed over the case of an insane man,
who is kept Gagged in one room at
the home of his mother, who refuses
to p, ace him IN an insane asylum.
The ma tier has become so gravs
hat the District Attorney has taken
up the complaints Of the neighbors,
and it is expected he will apply the
law.
The crazy man is Abrah am Buck,
now 40 years of age. who has been
cared Tor by his mothe', oow VERY
aged, since he was babe. II. Q
the son Of the late Robert Rus,
onte prominent grocer Of c G, err.
He is confined in the home of Edgar
Coprock. at 35l Parker street.
When Abraham was a babe \

iclne for the treatment of an all.
ment, 1t SO affected his brain that
specialists declare him to be a hope.
less idiot.
In a small room barred by heavy
gratin.s Buck sits all day long and
utters unintelligbie sounds. He is
fed through a smali aperture in the
door, and no one is permitted to 20
INTO his room.
When the weather Is favorable
Buck is led out for exercise. His
legs are shrunken and his face
wears hunted look.
The room in which Buck ia con.
fined is about u feet square, Tho
door is barred on the outside and
the windows have heavy gratings.
Once Mrs. Buck consented to have
her son placed in All asylum, but
after a short time he was returned
and placed III his cell.

radical increases in the taxes i'm

The governor found that peace
prevailed and that it was, in his
opinion, perfectly safe to leave the
maintenance of the law In the
hands of the local officers. But,
as soon as the martial law regime
ended, there was a sudden change,
and excitement and anxiety have
taken the place of the apparently
peaceful aspect of affairs witnessed
by the governor on the occasion of
his visit.
Why is this? It is because there
is an element in that section that
hates the law and all its agencies.
This element chafed under the
restraint or martial law and re.
solved to wreak vengeance on
those most prominently identified
with its enforcement. So long as
martial law continued they feared
to raise their hands against their
intended victims, but, when the 10.
cal officers were left alone to pro-
tect the community against vio-
lence, the midnight assassin
stalked forth and precipitated the
conditions that are now witnessed.
