SLAYER OF BOYS INSANE.
Head of Hospital Talks of Herbert
j. DennisOn.

New York. Jan 5.-Dr. Reeve Turner
had Herbert Jerome Dennlson. the man
who is charged with shooting Robert Lo-
mas and Arthur SHIRLEY, under his care
at the Middletown State Hospital for
three years. He says that Denn!son was
one of the most dangerous patients that
they had. and that he cannot imagine how
he got free. DIT. Turner left the hospital
in February, 1905. and Dennison was an
inmate then.
For a year or so after he left, the doc
tor said, Dennisons mother kept pleading
with him TO recommend to the authorities
of the asylum that her son be discharged
on condition that she place him in a pri-
vate sanatorium in Connecticut He al
ways refused, as he thought that the man
should be confined in State institution,
where the discipline was more severe
than in private ones.
Dennison. he said was suffering from
dementia parecox, a form Of paranoia.
He had various decisions, among them a
hatred for children.
Inspector McCafferty spent the entire
day working on Dennison's case. He
said that he was not shaken in his belief
taht the man was the one they wanted
Dennison, in his cell, was kept under
close watch to-day.
