mittee: DR.. Chronquest and Irwin l.
Rackoff, representing Commander
Deegan Of the American Legion. and
Representative Rossdale of The Bronx,
who brought the original charges against
the institution.
When the committee met. following
an executive session. Representative
Rossdale objected to the presence Of M.
p. McInerney. a special investigator
from Washington. and Judge J. G.
Bostel. both OF whom took places at the
table with the committee. He said the
committee had grown with surprising
suddenness' from the original three that
had been selected, and he had not been
informed of the decision to have five
men pass upon the charges
Mr.. Littleton explained that the two
added members were only associate
members" but they withdrew their
chairs from the table and the Congress
man was satisfied.
A question from Mr.. Rackoff drew
an admission from DIR. Chronquest that
who had been arrested for beating
Samson, had been a coal miner before
being employed at the hospital. and had
had no previous experience with the
insane. Although there are more than
forty patients In the actively insane
ward, DR.. Chronquest declared he did
not think the situation demanded that
a doctor be stationed In the building
at night.
Questioned ON Beating.
One doctor is on night duty for the
entire hospital, the superintendent ex-
planned, and there are eight doctors on
post who could be called In case OF
emergency. The detention ward is stu
ated some distance from the main build
ing. There followed these questions
Representative Rossdale: Did these
two men have the reputation Of being
strong arm men?
DR.. Chronquest: hadn't heard OF It..
Representative Rossdale: Should there
not be doctor regularly assigned to
night duty In that building?
DR.. Chronquest: believe IL the hos
pital authorities felt that continuous
duty st night were necessary they would
have a doctor put there.
There ensued a long argument be-
tween Representative Rossdale and DIT.
Chronquest over the possibility OF q
man being struck between the eyes with
such force that both his eyes would be
blackened. DR.. Chronquest contended
that such a condition was possible. but
finally declared that In his opinion Sam
son had been struck on both eyes and
that his injuries were not the result OF
a fall against a radiator guard as con-
tended by the attendants.
The hearings are 10 be resumed at II
