Young Man Found Dead in
State Institution Room, Which
Shows Evidences of
ManiaCaI Fury.
PATIENT TELLS OF MURDER
Gives the Alarm, but Cries, II
Didn't Do lit Is Said
Giant Later Admitted Caus-
ing Death of Attend
ant with His Hands.

Charles j. Wylie, a farmers son, en-
ployed as an attendant at the Mohansic
State Hospital for Insane, near York
Town Heights. Westchester County,
was found dead in his bed at one of the
institution cottages yesterday morn
ing. 1t is believed he was slain by one
Of the patients in a At of maniacal
hate.
The young mans skull had been
beaten to pulp with some heavy
weapon, probably woodsman's axe or
a sledgehammer, and the walls and
ceiling Of the room wherein he met his
death were splattered with blood.
Michael Nolan, an inmate Of the hos
pital. six feet tall and a giant in
strength. was closely examined by
Sheriff Doyle, Coroner Mason and DR..
Isham G.. Harris, head of the institu-
ton. Nolan found the body of the
murdered boy and informed John STAN
ley, caretaker in the hospital
Nolan made some damaging admis-
sions. He said ne did not like wylie.
because the murdered man used bad
language to the patients. He also ad-
mitted having bought a bottle Of
whiskey In Peekskill Thursday night.
Nolan's insanity is said to be due to
whiskey drinking.
II didn't do il. I didn't do it." was
the burden Of the giant maniac's state
ment, the man seeming to realize that
the Sheriff and the Coroner were
greatly interested in his story
Another Guilty, Says Or. Harris.
In spite of the part played by Nolan
In the tragedy. DR.. Harris was en-
phatic in his statement that he believes
Nolan innocent, and that some other
patient is responsible for Wylies death.
There are sixty-five patients in the
Mohansic Hospital, and all Of them at
some time have been in other institu-
tions. Mohansic is q convalescent In
sutution OF a kind where -,snts ON
the mend are taken be-,re being re-
leased. The hospital property consists
Of FIVE cottages, or farmhouses, and
more than six hundred acres OF land.
The nearest dwelling is three miles
away, with wild, unsettled country be-
tween it and the hospital buildings.
Every inmate in the hospital was
closely quizzed by the county officials
in an effort to get at the bottom of the
murder mystery. 1t proved to be
rather a fruitless task, owing TO the
mental condition OF the patients, many
OF whom could not realize the nature
Of the crime that had been committed
among them.
Sheriff Doyle suggested to DR.. Harris
that Nolan should be kept under re-
straint. The Sheriff said he was un-
able TO place the insane man under ar
rest, as the hospital is a state institu-
tion and Nolan a regularly committed
patient.

Litigation is expensive and often very
unsatisfactory. If you can possibly get
your husband to return home it would
be better for all PARTIES concerned, as
he can hardly support himself and
your family living separate and apart.
After you have made a faithful effort to
bring about a reconciliation, you should
consult your preacher and get him to
advise you whom to employ as your
counsel IN all cases where the divorce
is in favor of the wife permanent ali
mony, if properly applied for, must be
allowed. when it is shown that the hus-
band is able to provide for her. unless
it should appear that she has sufficient
means Of her own. or that some settle
ment or provision has been made for
her which will stand in lieu of it.
Pending your case for divorce, tempo

AcquittaI Seemed Certain.

Predictions were made, after Judge
Roam had allowed the greater portion
of the accused mans statement To be
considered as evidence, that acquittal
was certain. The states refusal to pat
up all its Witnesses went far TO
strengthen these predictions.
After Solicitor Dorsey asked the court
to allow him to impeach the testimony
of Irene Hart, a negress, who took the
stand for the state, the prosecution de-
