browns ON RETREAT FARM.
Patient Makes Break When Out with
Attendant and Runs Into Water
Dead When Body Is Recovered.

Seized with sudden impulse to
throw himself into the water, Patrick
O 'Bricn, patient at the Brattleboro
Retreat, ran away from his attendant
on the Retreat farm yesterday and
dashed into the overflow from the Con-
nccticut and West rivers on the Re-
treat meadow and lost his life by
drowning.
O'Brien was resident of North
Walpole, n. H., and came to the Re-
treat about two weeks ago, suffering
from melancholia with suicidal ten
denotes. He had not been at all vio-
lent since coming here and had been
past the meadow several times with an
attendant.
Yesterday forenoon he had smoke
and asked to take walk, so he and
an attendant and two other patients
went north on Linden street. On reach
ing the farm O'Brien suddenly made a
break for the water, followed by the
attendant. The latter could not swim,
but he followed the patient as far out
in the water as he could. He was un-
able to ovcrtake O 'Brien, who began
swimming under water.
Numerous people gathered around
and tried to locate O'Brien in the
weeds and underground. They used q
boat, but were unable to find him for
some time When taken out of the
water he apparently was dead, but the
institution secured a pulmotor from
the Twin State Gas & Electric Co. and
tried artificial respiration, but without
success.
'Brien was 80 years old. He leaves
