Brother Wants Him.

Two witnesses were placed on the
stand. Emil Ericsson, brother, who
said that he vas financially able to
take care of his brother and had
good home to which he would like to
take him. He said that the latter had
never been insane and there had not
been any valid reason for sending
him to the institution.
DR.. Beatrice c. Opre, Victoria, one
OF the members of the medical COM
mission which committed Ericsson to
the Watertown hospital on Aug. IA,
1912 from Knox county court, eX-
planned the conditions under which
Ericsson was sent to the hospital. She
alleged that he was not insane but
that conditions in his home were such
that he could no longer remain there.
Due to his advanced age he was nat
urally nervous and troubled with in
somnia and that treatment alleged to
have been given him by relatives so
irritated him that he was quarrelsome
and hard to get along with. She said
that the aged man did suffer from de-
lusions. She said it was decided by
the commission that he could not re-
main under the domestic conditions
which prevailed and sent him to Wat
ertown where he could be properly
care for.
Judge Ramsay intimated that he
would liberate the patient at once if
Dr. Campbell would stipulate that Mr..
Ericsson was sane at the present time,
but the superintendent was unwilling
10 do this although admitting that he
was not positively insane. 1t is the
position Of DR.. Campbell, it is under
stood. that MIR Ericsson needs watch
ing and waiting on and that his men
tai and physical condition is such
that he could not be turned loose on
his own responsibility. Most men OF
76, according to the superintendent
are unable to properly take care OF
themselves and says Mr.. Ericsson is
one of them He intimated that he
favored paroling the patient TO the
brother. Mr.. Roberts Contended that
the patient could not be turned out
TO a nonresident and insisted that he

Judge Ramsay, when he learned
that notice had not been given to John

Mr.. Roberts raised the point that DR.
