! pointed by the house to investigate

was heard.
T. w. Belt, Of Leesburg, Va, who
was an attendant from December IL,

charged because he complained Of the
| way in which the chief attendant,
Clark w. Teats, treated patients. In
the case of the pitent named Rekles,
from Pennsylvania, who had been fed
on liquid diet for several months, Belt
and Teats knocked Renkles down
many times. After one such occur
renee Rekles died within week.
In the case of an old soldier with
broken leg, Teats, the witness said,
delighted In lifting up this leg and let
ting it drop just to hear the old man
yell and curse. This patient died also.
Teats, he said, is still holding his po-
sition.
Mrs. Alice Carraher, whose husband
Is an inmate, said he had been given
black eyes seven times, although he
was bed-ridden.
Joseph A. Kensy, tailor, who had
been twice an inmate, but is now dis
charged, as cured, said he was told
that choking was the surest remedy
for insanity. 1t was administered to
him repeatedly, although he said, he
was not violent. He had his ribs brok-
en- by patient, who, he said, had
since been cured, and who had said an
attendant told him to do so.
