VIRGINIA'S ASYLUM
SHAME SHOWN UP
Hideous Stories From the Williamsburg
Hospital Developed at Investigation.
Patients Shamefully Treated.

NORFOLK. Va. May 5.-The investi-
gaticn into the management of the Will
iamsburg Insane Asylum continued to
bring forth startling developments to-
day. 1t is probable that the revelations
will lead to a legislative investigation
of all hospitals and all other eleemosy-
nary institutions of the State.
1t was testified today by Dr. Hender-
son, one of the attendants at the insti-
tuition. that a woman patient in the asy-
lum had been kept in a straitjacket for
three years, day and night She was re-
leased by order of DR.. Henderson.
Dr. Henderson made the awful an
nouncement that patients of the hos
pital thought 10 be dead were buried
without ever being examined. He re-
called a case of an inmate who was re-
ported dead. but was discovered to be
alive after the body had been shrouded
for burial. The moral relations of the
patients to each other and of the rela-
tions between the attendants and pa
tients were again brought into question,
and some unsavory information was
brought out.
