WITNESSES ARE MANY.
Lindsay Hospital Case Progressing
Slowly in District Court.

The hearing of the injunction case
against DR.. w S. Lindsay, which is
on trial in district court. is progress
ing slowly, on account of the number
of witnesses to be heard. When the
case was adjourned at noon, about
twenty witnesses were still to be
heard, and it is not probable that the
case. will be closed today.
The principal witness for the de-
Tense today was Miss Alberta Her
man. nurse at Christ hospital, who
was last year a nurse at the cottages
where DIR. Lindsay is in charge. She
was asked concerning a long list OF
patients who had been in the in
stitution during her stay there She
said that the only patients who gave
any trouble were drug tiends" who
we're being treated. She said that on
some occasions they tried to leave
the place without sufficient clothing.
She did not remember of seeing any
iron bars across the windows of any
of the rooms. and said that heavy
screen of wire was the only restraint
to patients.
Monday afternoon. Mrs. L. NJ.
Couchman, who lives near the SAN
itarium was the principal witness for
the prosecution.
She had taken notes on disturb
ances at the cottag es. and had the
ginning on July 5, 1908. she cited
several instances, giving the dates
She saw a man dive through
screen, and run, pursued by nurses,
who captured and returned him. On
July 2S. 1903. said Mrs. Couchman,
an insane woman jumped from the
top of one of the cottages and was
killed.
On September Is, so the witness
testified. she was invited to go
through the sanitarium by DIR. Lind
say. On this tour of inspection she
saws she saw a straight jacket
hanging on a wall and also a woman
living on her back and screaming.
The same incident of the woman
Jumping from the top of the building
and being killed. was testified to by Dr.
H H. Keith, county coroner who tes-
tilted that last summer he was APP
preached by people who represented
themselves to be relatives of a woman
who had committed suicide at Or.
Iindsays hospital. They stated that
the patient woman who came from
Baldwin, Kan, and whose name DIT,
Keith did not remember, had
jumped from the top. of one OF the
buildings and died as a result. Or.
Keith testified that the case mao
never been reported to him, and that
the woman had been dead and buried
about three weeks before he knew
ANYTHING about it. The relatives. he
said. censured him for not holding an
inquest He understood that they
were here for the purpose of trying
to collect damages from DR.. Lindsay
but doesn't know what success they
had.
