clear that she regarded the role of q
screen actor the most worthwhile in
the world, and ended naively by telling
her companion that he was the first
follower of that calling that she had
ever seen at close range.
"You couldn't be Morgan Hunter I"

"How wonderful !" the girl breathed,

VAUGHN DEt,IlA RED uNsSS is fss
OF Mind Still--Improved,i but Not
Recovered, Declares PhysiciRn.
(The State, May 18.)


Dr.. j. f. Muinerlyn, medical d.
rector Of the state Hospital for the
Insane, yesterday made report to
Governor Cooper as to the mental
status Of T. U. Vaughn, under sell-
tence at the Hospital for the Insane
for criminally assaulting five little
girls while Vaughn was superintend-
ent. OF the Odd Felows' Orphan
Home in Greenville. The medical di-
rector says the patient claims to hear
imaginary voices. "These symptoms
would seem to justify the diagnosis
OF dementia praecox as made by Dir.
Sandy during the observation Of the
case In 1916" DR.. Munnerlyn con-
tinues.
In making his report to the Gov
ernor. DR.. Munnerlyn says:
"ln making a report of the present
condition Of u. U. Vaughn, would say
that from many standpoints the pa
tient has shown rather decided i'm
provement. This may be clearly
shown by making comparison be-
tween the patients present condition
and his condition at the time of his
admission to the hospital. as will
be recalled, when the patient came to
the hospital on March 2S, 1916, he
seemed to be entirely out Of content
with his surroundings, refused to
talk or cooperate with us in any
way, was usually found lying Quietly
IN bed, and would remain in any po-
sition he might be placed in In ad-
dition to this, the patient was filthy
and untidy-made no attempt to an
swer calls of nature, and at no time
did he ask the attendants for any
thing that would add to his personal
comfort. Several attempts were made
to break through this mutism, but at
no time did the patient show any in
clinatiOn or any reaction to the test.
This condition continued practically
unchanged for Il period of one year,
at which time the patient began to
show signs Of Improvement This
Improvement was gradual, but after
Il period Of six weeks the pat tent
was talking freely and in a coherent
manner, cooperating willingly, and
WAS tidy as to his personal appear
ance
"l!e Says 4 Ga not know where !
was until an attendant told me-
Everything seems hazy, and the past
seems like a dream. IN which | can
not recall the details to anything."
Upon further questioning the pa
tient admitted hearing imaginary
voices. Says These voices seemed to
come from spirits. and at times they
disturbed me very much He was
evasive and showed no insight into
his condition.
During the past year the patients
condition has been practically the
same as described above. He has
been allowed to work in the white
male dining room. The character Of
his work is good. He Is very obedi-
cnt and courteous. but continues to
hallucinate, often stating that the
spirit voices keep him awake at
night. He also shows defective judg-
ment and absolutely no insight into
his condition. These symptoms would
seem to Justify the diagnosis Of de-
mentia praecox as made by DR.. Sandy
during his observation of the case in
1916. Very truly yours
-. T.. Munnerlyn.
