INSANE PATIENT INJURED
Was Attempting TO Escape and Thrown
by Two Attendants-Au I1vestiga-
ton Exonerates the Latter.

Waterbury, May GA sensa tional story
started this morning concerning an al
legged case of rough treatment that had
just occurred at the Vermont State hos
pital in which one Flanders. who had
been taken to the hospital the night be-
fore suffered the fracture of three ribs
on the right side. An investigation was
promptly instituted by Superintendent
Dr. Hutchinson and complaint made to
Grand Juror IL. {. Moody, who caused
the arrest of NJ. G. Gillens, the attendant
i'm charge on the ward where Flanders
was placed.
1t appeared at the investigation before
the justice that Flanders was determined
to get out Of the institution. Mr.. Gillens
the attendant being called by telephone
to the supervisors office. left Mr.. Lyon
another attendant, in charge of the pa
ticnt, while he answered the call and
when part way down the corridor he
turned and saw the patent coming and
Mr.. Lyon following in pursuit of him. As
Mr.. Lyon came up to the patient the
latter turned and struck him blow and
Lyon reeled against the wall. Mr.. Gillens
locked the exit door and ran to the assist
ance of Mr.. Lyon when the patient turned
and attempted to strike Gllens.
They both then grappled with the pa
tent and they all went to the floor in
mixed bunch. This al happened In a
hdlt minute or n minute ana Wnen they
got up the patient promised to go back
and keep quiet. The affair was at once
reported to Dr Andrews and DR.. Berry
and a little later the doctors discoveries
that the patient had suffered a fracture
Of three ribs. One attendant who saw
the fall testified that when they went
down Gillenss knee struck upon the pa,
tents body. This might have caused the
| fracture if it was done at that time.
