ESCAPES INSANE ASYLUM
BY CEASING DRUGS USE
Charles w. Johnson Gives Kit Of
Hypodermlc instruments to His
Wife In Court Room

Handing a complete set Of cocaine
and morphine hypodermic syringes to
his wife, Charles w. Johnson,
Southern Pacific conductor, won his
release yesterday from charge Of In
sanity by promising Judge Bordwell
henceforth to abstain from all use of
the drug.
The trial Of Johnson brought a score
of his friends and relatives to the
court room and the examination nearly
resulted in a fight between Mrs. john
son, wife Of the accused man, and Mrs.
Rachael Miller his sister.
johnson was injured several months
ago in railroad accident To secure
relief from pain caused by his injuries
he resorted to the use of the drugs and
the habit grew on him until he injected
as much as eighty grains a day into
his system.
Several weeks ago, according to the
allegation of Mrs. Miller, the sister
who swore to the complaint Of insan-
ity, Johnson told her that he believed
his wife was keeping company with
another man and that he intended kill
ing them both Johnson explained to
the court that the man he suspected
was his wifes brother.
Upon hearing the threat, the sister
swore to the complaint of insanity and
caused her brothers. arrest.
Mrs. Johnson so ably defended her
husband that he was given chance
TO escape the asylum and after prom
ising the court to quit the habit, he
turned all his instruments over to his
wife who started to throw them into a
cuspidor, but changed her mind and
showed the syrinage into handbag.
The wife and sister met outside the
railing and war of words immedi-
ately started, the wife accusing Mrs.
Miller of being unsisterly in her actions
toward Johnson. The reply was sharp
and Under Sheriff Yonkin ordered both
parties from the court room.

COUNTY PLANS TO
ERECT INFIRMARY
HARMLESS LUNATICS TO BE
CARED FOR
SUPERVISORS CONSIDER IDEA
Recent Law Regarding Insane Patients
Causes officials to Seek Means
Of Properly Attending
Them Locally

AS result Of the law passed by the
last legislature that all harmless in
mates of state insane asylums be dis
charged, several unfortunates from
Patton have been turned out of house
and home to wander about the coun-
try, a menace to themselves and all
with whom they come in contact and
movement to remedy this condition
was started yesterday when the county
board of supervisors took UP for con-
sideration the proposition Of erecting
an inhrmary for the care Of these peo-
pie.
According to information received by
the supervisors, the new law has
created remarkable conditions. Patton
asylum at the present time has several
scores of inmates who while unable to
take care of themselves, are not Vio-
lent and are therefore subject to the
new law.
Following law, physicians have
started the removal of these imbeciles
from the asylum and ten have already
been sent back. In the majority of
cases, however, the patients are ar
rested within a few hours after regain
ing their liberty and are again carted
off to the county hospital, to await ex-
aminatons on insanity charges.
Held at Hospital
Four Of these released are now occu
pying cells in the county hospital await
ing some disposition of their cases.
They are not permitted to leave their
cells except for the short rest hour,
when they are allowed to walk about
the verandas. They cannot be trusted
farther, as they wander away and be-
come bewildered and lost when within
fifty feet of the hospital building.
Some Of the least affected are now
sleeping in wards at the county hos
pital and are allowed the freedom of
the country roads during the day, re-
turning to the hospital at night.
1t was at first proposed to send them
to the poor farm. but this plan was re-
jected because of the fear that the in
sane might attack the aged and feeble
wards at that institution.
According to the proposition dis
cussed by the supervisors yesterday, II
is planned to erect several buildings
on county property and arrange fol
the care Of these imbeciles Attendants
will be employed and high wall built
around the premises, allowing the in
mates ample exercise and fresh air and
yet preventing them from wandering
away.
The following report was received
from the superintendent of Patton
asylum regarding the number of re-
leases for the past week: w. Stamp
and Judson w. Collins, released as
harmless, and Charles A. Lewis, Lucy
Woodward, G. P. Mccain, Peter Ko-
kas, Lizzie Marie Burge, Robert White
and Edwin Inther, released as cured.
