Former Attendant at Insane
Asylum TeStifies.
INMATES ROUGHLY USED.
But Witness Said 1t Was Question
in One Case of Attendants OF Pa
tients Being Knocked Out,
and Former Did Knocking.

Waterbury March 1S.-The investi-
CATION into the management of the state
hospital for the insane at this place
was adjourned yesterday owing to the
receipt of news Of the serious illness
Of Attorney General Fits mother. No
definite date has been fixed for meeting
again. Attorney General Fits announc-
ed that the management of the hospital
has evidence to refute in every instance
the damaging testimony Of +. A. Morse,
taken at Montpelier Thursday.
The witnesses heard yesterday were
Orrice Ballard, former trustee and
g6ohn G. Murphy former attendant
Mr.. Ballard said he had no definite
knowledge in regard to the coal ques-
ton. He had, however, called the at
tention of the other trustees to the
fact that the institution was paying
the same amount per ton for coal that
he could purchase it for by the single
ton in st. Adams. He said that the
cost for coal at the institution was
about 81 900 month
Mr.. Ballard considered the staff of
physicians at the hospital to be efficient
and faithful in the discharge of its
duties. Mr., Ballard said that his du-
ties had mostly been connected with
the farm work. When asked if he con-
sidered it advisable from an economic
standpoint to run the state farm in
connection with the institution he said
he did not. He belivede the provisions
would cost the state more than they
could be purchased for from private
sources. He believed an excess Of help
was employed for the carrying out Of
the farm work
Mr.. Ballard considered that Mr. Ship
man. the superintendent, was thorough
III competent for the position, and no
reflection WAS cast upon his manage
ment
In regard to the relations between
Superintendent Hutchinson and Doctor
~. ID. Berry il was evident there had
been considerable friction between them
and that the unpleasantness increased
as long as Doctor Berry remained at
the institution Mr. Ballard said he
had often dined at the institution and
did not consider the living extravaganza.
He said that while he was serving az
trustee he had paid several visits to
the institution when Superintendent
Hutchinson knew nothing OF his con
tempIated visit, and that he had always
made thorough investigation Of the
wards and found them in first class
condition.
John G. Murphy, who was employed
at the institution at three different
times and is now senior in the med
ical department Of the University Of
Vermont, Burlington, testified that dur
ing his stay which covered a period Of
several months, Doctor Hutchinson had
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1905-03-18

never visited the wards to his know
ledge more than nine times. He said
he had been commented upon lmfavor-
ably for this by the help. He had
worked at Brattleboro and other state
institutions, and in his opinion, the
management Of this Institution COM
pared favorably with others. When
asked If he considered the care of the
state patients at Waterbury better than
at the Brattleboro retreat he said he
did. He was asked concerning the cream
and milk at the institution and said he
understood the supply came from herd
Of Holstein cows which were more not
ed for their number than for the quail
ity Of their milk, and that this probably
explained the blue milk. Concerning
the i'll treatment of patients, he re-
called two instances, one being when q
new patient arrived and one of the
attendants was having good deal Of
trouble with him; the attendant took
out his key chain and dashed the pa
tient about the legs The attending
physician was notifid and the attendant
was discharged within twenty minutes.
Another patient, named John Chandler,
was badly beaten and bruised and be
understood that it was a question of
two attendants being knocked out or
the patient. The attendants won. Soon
after the beating the patient died Mr..
Murphy was asked If The cause of death
was the beating and replied that he
did not know.

wallingford Farmer Gets Five Calves
from Two Cows in One Day.

from Two Cows in One Day.
President Roosevelts agitation in re-
gard to race suicide has brought to light
during the last year many cases where
quite large families Of children were
brought into existence simultaneously.
In fact there has been created kind OF
rivalry in this respect and more than
one lite town heretofore unheard Of
has acquired widespread fame from the
fact that citizen Of that place had been
blessed three, four or five fold, while
the nation rejoinced at the thought Of
triplets or quads. There have been some
Vermont towns included in this honor
list, but it has remained for the little
hamlet of Wallingford to acquire pres
tige in way which has them all van
pushed for originality.
Riley Baker, who conducts farm
on West Hill, in that town, has couple
of medium sized COWS among his stock
A visitor to his farm last week might
have seen two members Of this COW fam
lily one day, and a few hours later seven
members. The two cows mentioned
gave birth to five calves few days
ago, much to the surprise of the owner.
One COW, the smaller Of the two, had
three calves, and the other two, all five
making their appearance on the same
day, and within short time of one
another 1t is the best record of this
kind in this section for some years.
