Mother Awakens to Find
 Huge Rat Gnawing Baby

Waterbury, Dec. 28.-Awakened by the cries of her infant son, Mrs. Sam uel Berger, of BIO North Main street rushed to the crib standing near her bed and found a large rat eating at one of her child's hands. The in fant's hands and clothes were covered with blood and the rat had eaten a hole into the index finger penetrating to the bone, and the marks of it's teeth were plainly visible.
 Mrs. Berger's screams aroused her husband and not till then did the. rat jump out of the crib and scamper across the floor. pr. George A. Leon- ard was summoned Immediately and then the full extent of the injuries was learned. The knuckle had been gnawed by the rat and there were scratches and bites all over the hand. The wounds were carefully dressed. but 1t is feared that blood poisoning may set in.
 The child was put to bed early the night before. Mrs. Berger was arous- ed by the infants sobs at 5:30 yester- day morning, she believing the child was only frightened. but when the screams grew louder she became alarmed and found the child convuls ed with pain. futilely trying to draw its hand from under the light cover inc.
 When the coverlet was withdrawn the rat was still gnawing away. It was as large as a fair sized kitten and it was streaked with blood.

Winchester Man Believes
 War Still Going On, and that Lincoln Is President

Winsted, Dec. 2S.-Held in solitary confinement for more than 40 years, or since the end of the Civil War, Cor nelius S. Dayton, n years old, was found yesterday by Dwight W. Thrall of Hartford State Humane Agent, inn prisOned in a one room building on the farm of his brother-in-law, Cor nelius Andrus, five miles northwest of Winsted. Bereft of all senses and violently insane, he was pacing from one end of the room to the other like wild tiger.
 From the mans mother, Mrs. Julia A. Dayton, who is 93 years old, MT. Thrall learned that Dayton, who was a private in Company F, 28th regi- Gnent, Connecticut Volunteers, has been hopelessly insane. and, at times. so violent that he would tear his clothes into shreds, since he suffered from a sunstroke on a battlefield. Dayton believes, his mother said, that the war still is in progress and that Ab- raham Lincoln is President.
 Investigation was made as a result of complaints made by Civil war vet erans residing in the vicinity of Win sted. Mir. Thrall was accompanied to the Andrus farm by John F. Simmons, local agent of the State Humane so- ciety. The agents found that the vet eran was treated kindly and that ev- cry possible provision for his comfort is made by his ssiter, Mrs. Andrus, who. cares for him. His cell, which is 10 by 10 feet. is as clean as that or
 we'll furnished room in an up-to-date hospital, the agents reported.
 Just inside the entrance to the small house they found a partition of lattice work iron, and only Mrs. An drus, Dayton's sister, is permitted in- side the cell. For hours at time, Mrs. Andrus said to the agents, her brother walks up and down, belfev- ing himself to be on guard duty. He uses a large wooden spoon, she said, for rife and goes through the man. ual of arms and the marchings
 For more than a third of a century Dayton has received a pension from the government. His allowance now is SIP a month, and this supports his aged mother and himself. The agents were convinced that Dayton is cared for better than he would be if in a state asylum. Even when he is most violent, the agents were told, his sis- ter has no difficulty in caring for him.
 Although he seems entirely devoid of reason,'' Mir. Simmons said, "the man seems devoted to his sister ana his mother"
 Mrs. Andrus clips her bother's hair and beard for him. He does not read books or newspapers. but at times will pass hours going through 1uven- ile picture books. His cell is heated Joy a stove which is on the outside of the iron lattice work and is kept cool by removing the entire wooden front of the small building. leaving only the iron bars. The veteran al- ways has enjoyed good health. :,
 From the report which MT. Thrall will make to the State Humane so- ciety it is not believed that any at- tenpt will be made to have Dayton taken from the custody of his rela- tiyes
