ing his statement" Acting Supervisor
Butler, who discharged Berg, also came
in for his share of the criticism for
the manner in which the case was
handled without any effort being made
to learn of what happened.
The board passed nothing over and
DR.. Wilson was again placed in an un-
certain light when called on to explain
why he signed the death certificate,
omitting the fact that Grassmee had
ribs broken. even though three ef the
physicians still swear under oath were
the total number fractured. The doc
tor admitted that he was at fault for
not including the injuries as a contrib
utory cause of the death.
He was forced to face the question as
to why he had not notified the coroner
of the county at the time that Grassmee
was found dead. DIR. Wilson stated that
one of the motives which prompted him
to neglect to call the coroner was that
he knew the relatives of the dead man
would not appreciate the publicity
which would have followed the inquest
This is an explanation which until to-
day he has never brought forth. There
Is little doubt, however, that the rela-
tives of the dead patient would have
welcomed an inquest over the remains
of their terribly uisused husband and
brother

Insists on Three Ribs Broken

He further stated. as reiteration of
his former declaration, that there was
no doubt in his mind nor of the other
members of the medical staff as to
what has caused the death of Grass
NEE. He stated that had there been
any doubt the coroner would certainly
have been notified. Under the ques-
tioning of state superintendent Hatch
and President Clark he forcibly dis
puted the accuracy of the autopsy held
at Los Angeles, and stated emphatical
ly that there were but three ribs brok-
en- when the body was examined at the
hospital prior to shipment to Los An
geles. He stated emphatically that the
brain showed numerous symptoms that
the deceased was in the last stages Of
general paresis, statement denied by
the physicians attending the coroner's
inquest at Los Angeles.
He again offered as an explanation
that the additional ten ribs could have
been broken in transportation. He
stated it would have been possible for
any of the other patients confined in
the ward or corridor to have inflicted
the injuries upon Grassmee. He stated
that the ribs which he found to be
broken could have been fractured by
pressure alone.

was killed.
DR.. Hatch took exceptions to the
statement that the conditions were so
crowded that the attendants could not
give proper care to the patients, and
stated he believed that one attendant
to each fifty patients, the ratio at the
Patton hospital, was sufficient. and
that in this respect the institution was
better off than the other state hospitals.
