THE LAKELAND ASYLUM INVESTIGATION.
Victims of the Cruelty of Attendants
Testify Before Investigating COM
mfttee, But Some Fear to Tell,
Fearing Further Abuse NJ the
Result.

Louisville, KY, April 12.-As the re-
suit of an investigation into charges
OF alleged cruelty on the part of the
attendants of the Lakeland insane
asylum, situated about eleven miles
from this city, some disclosures of a
startling nature have been made. A
number of patients have testified be-
fore the investigating committee that
they have been the victims of acts of
cruelty, and some of the witnesses
stated that they feared to tell all
they knew on account of the fact
that they would suffer at the hands
OF the attendants at the close of the
examination.
According to the testimony of sew
eral witnesses, one of the ~fayorite
forms OF punishment for slight infrac-
tions of rules on the part of the pa
tients was a beating with a slungshot
formed OF a SOCK in which a potato
or some other hard vegetable had
been placed.
Some of the patients declared they
had frequently been choked. One had
been taken into a back room and tied
to a chair. an attendant following
with a leather belt. The witness who
told this story did not know what
had occurred in the back room. how
ever. Bruises on the breast and legs
of one of the patients were shown as
proof that he had been kicked by the
attendants, and it was developed that
shower baths were also used as a
means of punishment, the patients
being held while cold water was al
lowed to drip on them. Two attend
ants, after being closely questioned
admitted that they had kicked and
choked patients, but stated that they
had been forced to do so in self-de-
Tense, as they had been attacked.
The investigating committee will
continue it's labors next week and it
is expected that a report will soon be
prepared for the board of commits
sioners of the asylum under whose
supervision the investigation is being
conducted.
