GLADWYN PATIENT SAYS HE
WAS ILL-TREATED, ASKS $50. 900
Sanitarium Head Denies Georgian's
Charge That Watchman Hit Him

Suit to recover $4,000 damages was
brought today at Norristown by Graham
j. Taggart, wealthy coal dealer OF
Savannah, Ga. against DIR. S. u. w.
lIudlum, owner of the Gladwyn Colony,
sanitarium at Lower Merton, where
TaEgart was patient for more than Il
year.
Rough treatment, forcible detention,
and the contraction of n disease because
of the alleged unsanitary quarters are the
allegations made by Taggart In his state
ment of claim filed in the prothonotary's
office.
"Taggart's charges are the result of the
hyperaesthetic imagination of an insane
man." said DIR. Charles McCauley, super
intendent of the institution, today 1--WE
are prepared to prove that he Is and was
at the time insane, and that for Is or 20
years he has been treated at various in
stitutions. He was detained because of
his insanity, and was released when his
wife came to take charge of him. At the
proper time we shall reply in detail to
the charges. which are the product of his
disordered mind"
In his statement Taggart says he be-
came a bOarder at the institution De-
cember 2S, 1918. paying $50 n week. He
chose the place because of its nearness to
Philadelphia and the air of quiet which
pervaded 1t. Two days after he entered.

man, handled him roughly, striking him.
The statement then describes how he told
Doctor McCauley that he wished to leave,
but was persuaded to change his quar-
ters. which, he asserts, he found to be
unsanitary and without heat.
His incoming and outgoing mail was in
tercepted. the statement alleges, and he
was unable to secure his release until he
notified Samuel Kurt2, an attorney, of
