Insane Patient Found Dead.
stanly Enterprise. March 2lst.

Morganton, March 21.-On the
night of the 28d of February
male patient of the State Hospital
here escaped in returning from
the amusement hall to the wards.
Immediately some men we're sent
out to look for him, but it being
late at night, the chance of find
ing him was remote. Two men
spent the entire next day out
looking for him and they also
failed to find him or any trace of
him. Nothing was heard from
him until yesterday when his
dead body was found about three
miles flom the Hospital in the
direction of the South mountains.
His remains were viewed by the
county coroner and, there being
no evidence of foul play or sui
eide, his judgment was that he
died from cold or natural causes.
