K. Z. Bell. aged about 20 years, from
Amelia county, was found dead with
his throat cut. in his room st the East
eru State Hospital at an early hour

on. a case knife, with which the deed was
committed. was found near the side ct
the body and the door was covered with
blood.
Coroner G. A. Hankins ummoncd
Jury and held an inquest. IL was de-
cided that Bell came to his death BY
suicide. The verdict was in the nature
OF a ceusure OF the hospital authorities
n not being more careful with suicidal
mania
The verdict in part says: From the
facts it appears TO the jury that a grave
| oversight has been committed by the
| authorities of the hospital IN not giving
such information and instructions Us
would better protect patient COM
mitted as one OF marked suicidal ten
dency."
The iurv summoned Or. 2. r Southall,

Of the male department OILY a short
time. lie stated that he did not know
the dead man had tendency towards
suicide. The three attendants on the
ward all of whom arc old and efficient
attendants. did not know the patient
was suffering from suicidal mania. II
npoears Bell wat admitted July 2Su
last and his papers stated he was Of
suicidal tendency.
e. The term grave oversight was used
