Not Been Injured.
Said DR.. Henderson


Or. 7. NJ Henderson. first assistant ply
sician, was put on 70 testify as 10 the
alleged maltreatment Of patients He
said ne had made a note on his report
OF a case OF which he had heard in Octo-
Der 1906. He made an examination and
found the patient had not been injured,
though she said she had been mistreated.
He understood that Or. Foster had exam
ined into the case for himself with the
same result. DIT. P. T. Southall second
physician. was put on to testify as to the
bathing OF more than one patient IN the
same water Witness wished 10 know II
the testimony given by him was 10 be
used against him. He was told that he
was not on trial. He declared that he
had seen only one case OF such bathing.
r. in his former testimony. he had said
this was the custom at the hospital. he
wished 10 modify 1t. He had never seen
but one such case.
Witness was going on to say that Mt
Ouid had taken him aside during the
legislative investigation and told him.
There IS nothing against you we are
not after you" Mt. Hunton did not think
this vas evidence. but witness paid lit
tie attention to the lawyers. declaring
amid laughter that he would tell what
he pleased.
On the straight jacket charge. DR.. Hen
dersOn declared that in 1903 when he
came TO the hospital. he found the
straight-Jacket used 70 considerable eX-
tent
he had asked Dr. Foster about
abandoning the custom. and the latter
said he would be very glad II II could
be done. It was done gradually, ex-
cept IN extreme cases. They were used
now only in such cass. No straight
jackets had been used in the wards in
the last several years. There was one
case in the hospital now. and
straight Jacket was used. but this was
necessary. owing 10 the lack Of at
tendants.
Answering Mr.. Gillian. witness gave
il as his opinion that this treatment
did not tend 20 improve a PATIENTS
mental condition. but on the other
hand 10 aggravate II. He had never
known DR. Foster to order the use OF
a straisht-jacket as ii means OF pun
ishment
He said ne thought the situation az
20 the use or stTaight-jackets could
be relieved n two additional attend
ants were named.
