The San Francisco call., 1909-03-03


I showed any inclination of pulling my
self together, and while was in a more
or less intoxicated condition he brought
Dandy around to me.
Was Taken to Hotel
"As understand, Dandy was then
stopping at the Hotel Lansdale and
o'Loane and his wife had house keeping
rooms in Pine street. While I was in
toxicated I was taken to Danby's rooms
at the Hotel LansdaIe and short time
later o'Loane and hfs wife had joined
Us
Since then have a very hazy recol-
lection OF what occurred. was kept in
q back room and given whisky all the
time"
What took place during those days is
told BY DR.. John S. Potts. who is stop
ping at the Cadillac hotel.
on February 10" said DR.. Potts. Il
received a telephone message asking
me to go to the Hotel LansdaIe to at
tend to a wealthy. miner. on going
down there I found two men whom
learned to be Dandy and o'Loane. Civ
ing Goodwin whiskey by the tumbler-
fuI Goodwin was then in horrible
condition OF intoxication, but instead
Of keeping the liquor away from. him
the two seemed TO be insistent in their
EFFORTS to keep him drunk. Mrs.
o'Loane was. there at. that time and
was then sober. She as 1 understood.
was nursing Goodwin, and during my
presence objected to her husband and
Dandy giving the INTOXICATED man any
more whisky. Goodwin was very far
gone then. but after working over him
five hoars I managed to bring him
around.
''On leaving gave strict orders that
he was not to be. allowed any more
whisky. but on. paying my second
visit the day following found him as
drunk as ever. again told Dandy
and O'IsoaHe that no more whisky was
TO be given Goodwin and that 1 strictly
prohibited Il To make sure repeated
my orders to the landlady of the hotel,
saying that the mans condition was
extremely serious My decided stand
evidently had the desired effect, for on
calling again I found Goodwin much
better. I called on. him daily for the
next SIX OF seven days. and toward the
close succeeded fn finding him alone.
Told Private Affairs
'son my previous visits either DANNY
or OLoane, had been present, but this
time the men and Mrs. o'Loane hap
pened to pc out Goodwin. who was
thoroughly sober at this time, began
talking 10 me about his private affairs.
I believe opened the subject by
asking him why ne did not inform his
relatives or friends in Nevada. so. that
they could have him removed to a
suitable sanatarium. HIS answer was
that he aid not care to let his partner
IN Winnemucca know OF his condition.
as the latter was greatly opposed TO
fntemperance. Then, to my surprise.
he told me that be was being robbed.
He said that several OF his checks had
been raised. According to him, one
check FOR $40. whichs he had given to
OLoane, Had been raised TO 500. and
another for 500 TO $500. 1 again told
him to inform his relatives or friends
and left him, saying that I would call
on the following day. Ny words
seemed to have made a deep impress
sion on him. bat that same night 1 re-
ceived telephone message from q
woman. saying she was Mrs. OLoane
and telling me that there was no need
to continue my visits. She said that
Goodwin had quite recovered and did
not want TO add to his doctors bills by
any more visits. or course, 1 dropped
the case then and heard nothing more
about II until I read an account OF the
proceedings in The Call"
The presumption is that Dandy and
o'Loane, fearing that with sobriety
Goodwin would recover his common
sense and leave them. had started to
get him intoxicated once more. The
next time anything was heard OF them
was when DR.. Joseph L Howard was
asked to visit Mrs. OLoane. who
seemed TO have succdmbed to Good
