New York, May pa fire at the New

among the $500 patients. The guards
were only able to restrain them by the
most vigorous efforts.
When the fire was first discovered III

brought together in the yard and sur
rounded by a Gordon of guards and at

they made a dash for freedom.

None Of the violently insane or criun-

but the alarm of fire caused even those
whose minds were but slightly unbal =
anced to become frantic with terror.
Nearly all the patients were in the
lOrmitOries, which made the task OF
getting them out of the building much
easier, as they could be marshaled as al
the regular fire drill.
In some of the wards furthest from
the fire few patients who could be
trusted were left. The others were
marched from the building. Although
they were greatly frightened, a few
soothing words from the guards paci-
ned them and there was little trouble
until all We're assembled in the yard.
There they again became panic strick-

line of guards. The women seemed
more frightened than the men and sew

Had there been any concerted move
ment the whole $500 would have escap-
ed. Groups Of 20 or 80 would make a
sudden run toward the guards and the
latter would have hard work getting
them back in the crowd with the others.
This would work the others up to a
frenzy and another group would charge
towards another portion of the line.
