HORRIBLE STORY
Comes Out In a Big Damage
Suit.
The ScaIding of Young Willing.
ham In the Western Asylum
Now in Court.

Hon. P. NJ. Willingham, former
Representative from Webster coun-
ty, has filed big damage suit
against the Western Kentucky Asy-
lum and Supt. W. w, Ray, as adj
ministrator of his deceased son,
James Y. Willingham.
1t is alleged that Jas. Y. Willing
ham, while patient in said asy-
lum, and deprived of his liberty,
destitute of mind and incapable of
protecting himself by reason of
mental and physical im6rmities,
from injury at the hands of his in
sane companions, or against the
negligence or wrongful acts of those
in charge of his person, the said
James Y. Willingham was negli-
gently, wrongfully, and with force
taken by the agents, servants and
employees of said corporation, and
of said superintendent, and under
the pretext of bathing him, he was
placed in bath tub and boiling wa
ter turned upon his. nudeperson that
while thus helpless and restrained
by force, OF his liberty, said hot
boiling water was negligently and
wrongfully permitted to flow upon
and over his body until the flesh
npon his feet and legs was scalded
and cooked to such an extent that
it decayed and stuffed off to the
bones in his feet and legs, exposing
his bones in many places; that after
such injuries were thus inflicted
upon said Willingham, he was neg
lected by the agents and servants
of said corporation and of said sup.
erintendent, and was not given
proper attention, and that his said
wounds werei negligently and care
lessly dressed, if dressed at all, by
which said Willingham's suferings
were greatly increased" He al.
leges that by reason of.this Willing
hams wounds resulted in his death
after he had lapguished and suf-
fered from August q to Sept. -.
He sues for $4,000 damages.
Breathitt 81 Sites and Downer &
Russell are the plaintiffs attorneys.
Clint Elliott, who was an atten-
dant on the ward where The trag-
edy occurred, states that he was
out of the ward at the time getting
supplies for his ward and that an
Italion fiddler named Chas. Benia-
min, who had been placed on the
pay roll, was supposed to be as
sistant attendant and was present
when two patients put Willingham
in the tub.
He says he reported the matter
to one of the physicians. who told
him to rub sweet oil on the burns,
but it was Several hours before the
oil was obtained. When the matter
became public, Elliott says he was
asked to resign and Benjamin was
kept at the asylum until about Jan.
18th.
1t Is said the scalding is admit
ted, but the defense will claim that
it was not sufficient to cause death.
The Official records, it is said, give
"paresis" as the cause of death.
The facts will be amply proven,
the plaintiff says, by witnesses
here and In Webster county, who
saw the condition of Willingham s
wounds after his death.
