PHYSICIAN ESCAPES
KNIFE OF PARANOIAC
DR.. Stephen Jewett Attacked
in Bellevue's Psychopathic
Building.

DIR. stephen p. Jewett of 1900 Madi-
son avenue attending psychiatrist at
Bellevue Hospital, was sitting in an
Office on the second floor of the hospi-
tails psychopathic building yesterday af-
ternoon when man entered, leaned
across the table and shouted:
I've got you now! You tried to take
my liberty away from me, and now
I'm going to kill you"
The man then drew long knife and
lunged across the table. DR.. Jewett
lodged. but not before the handle of
the knife had struck him near his left
eye. and jumped behind another table,
overturning chair as he did so.
DR.. NJ. ]. Thornton. a resident physi-
clan, heard the noise and ran into the
room, seizing the mans arms from be-
hind as he tried to reach DR.. Jewett.
While DR.. Thornton was struggling with
the intruder, DR.. Monroe Meyer entered
the room and struck the man over rne
head with a ledger weighing twenty
pounds. This dazed him. and a few
moments later he was taken to the
psychopathic ward In the straitjacket.
There he said his name was John Kohler
of $50 East Sixty-flrst street, and the
hospital records showed that he was ad-
mitted to the hospital two years ago as
a paranolac and had been treated by DR..
Jewett.
Later Kohler was discharged in the
custody of relatives, and so far as the
hospital authorities know, no effort was
made to commit him to an institution.
