to-day. She told how she had worked
for two or three years prcviOus to her
release, in the sewing room. and also
in the wards and In the laundry. Dr.
Landcrs OF the Retreat stan told her
not to talk with Mr.. Jones or it might
make trouble. and she did not see the
attorney again.
The witness stated that she had sesn
patients il-trcated, and had been mis-
used herself when she first went there.
She had been put TN a straight Jacket.
tied tightly to her bed and left there al
night. She also testified that attendants
with their knees rammed the patients IN
the stomach. When pressed for further
particular instances Of abuse. the witness
at first hesitated and then refused to an
swer, very evidently from fear. She was
assured that she might testify freely, but
did not do so. Tho woman denied that
anyone from the retreat had talked with
her regarding her testimony.
Charles e. Ray OF Brandon was

He also testified that he had seen the

Frank r. Bowlscr Of St. Johnsbury. who
for a month in 1915 was a voluntary
patient ct the retreat, said that he haS
broken all the rules Of the institution ana
could always fix things 20 that he could
get in at night at whatever hour he
wished.
He was there simply for recuperation
and DR.. I.awton gave his case no atten-
ton at all. in fact he only consulted a
physician once or twice during his stay.
The biennial report Of the retreat is
sued June 70. 1916. shows deficit Of 81,
Scssi. which Is stated to be 5000 more
than the year before. The report stated
that the retreat has no endowment OF
funds but is wholly dependent upon In
come derived from support of State enc
private patients.
The steadily advancing cost OF provi-
sions and higher wages for employees are
said to he contributing causes for thu
deficit, which will probably increas,
rather than diminish.
