County Council at Session,
Tuesday Visit Jail and See
for Themselves Great Need
of Insane Ward,
CONDITIONS NOW
ACCENTUATE NEED
If Council Again Refuses,
Steps to Compel Humane
Provision Will Be Insti-
tuted by Court.

The conditions surrounding Charles
Pierson, of Fountain City. recently ad.
judged insane at the county Jail, have
served to accentuate the need of an
insane ward at the Jail where persons
OF unsound mind can be properly cared
for, and on Tuesday Judge Fox an
nounced his determination to induce
the county council to make an appro-
priation for the erection of such a
ward which it refused to do some time
ago.
Judge Fox stated that if the county
council refused again to make an ap-
preparation, that steps to compel them
to do SO would probably follow and
that this might mean the filing a suit
for a writ of mandate.
ut is a shame and outrage" declar-
ed Judge Fox in discussing the con-
hnement of Pierson at the county Jail,
where it is impossible to care for him
Several times he has divest-
ed himself of all his clothing and
gone about entirely nude, and on
Monday he made a determined effort
to escape from his cell when food was
being brought to him. 1t required four
men to subdue him e,
There are approximately seventy
FIVE applications for admission to East
haven ahead of the one for Pierson.
Judge Fox summed up his opinion of
the case when he said, Something
ought to be done" He declared that he
was going to take the matter up with
the county councilmen again in an eff.
fort to, secure an appropriation for an
insane ward. All morning the mem.
bers of the county council.w which held
it's regular meeting Tuesday morning
were urged that there was immediate
necessity for such action on their part
He did not bring the matter up at the
regular session of the council, how.
ever.
Judge Fox declared that such a con
dition as that produced by the con
finement of Pierson at the county. jail
would be made impossible and an in
sane ward would now be built, had il
not been for Timothy Nicholson and
Amos Butler. secretary of the state
board of charities, who appeared be
fore the council. advised against the
erection of an insane ward upon the
county Jail grounds, and insisted that
it be constructed on the county in
firmary site.
If Timothy Nicholson and Mr.. But
Ter had not raised such opposition, the
council would have provided for an in
sane ward at the county Jail, whereas
they baked at the opposition and re
fused to make the appropriation.
According to Judge Fox, Mr.. Mich
olson and Secretary Buffers idea that
the insane ward should be erected al
the county infirmary is absolutely i'm
practical as he says that it is his in
depreciation of the law that no person
Of unsound mind could be sent to the
county farm unless he was a pauper
This means that an insane ward al
that place would be practically useless
Judge Fox was supported in this opin
ion by one of the most prominent
members Of the Wayne county bar.
