STATE HOSPITAL
ETOOCROWDED
Supt Leak Revealed That
Fact in an Address
Last Night

New Haven, Conn, April 81
CUP)-The states hospitals for
mental diseases are so crowded that
patients "have to walk sidewise to
get into bed, DIR r. L. Leak, sup.
erintendent OF Connecticut State
hospital at Middletown said in an
address at Connecticut Society
for Mental Hygiene meeting last
night.
Except for one brief period in
the nineties Connecticut state hos
pital always has been overcrowd-
ed" he said. ut now carried 800
patients in excess of its normal
capacity, That means over
crowding by at least 80 per cent.
Twenty per cent of all patients
admitted are 60 years of age. Be-
tween IA and 15 per cent are SO
i'll they die within the first month.
Another IL per cent die within the
first three months.
1.-THE hospital has only one
building constructed since 1895. All
other buildings were put up with
the idea of restraint and seclu-
sion. The long corridors, lighted
only by window at one end, are
almost the only places available
for recreation and sitting rooms.
The building was evidently put UP,
also, with the idea that no patient
would ever suffer from any physi-
cal ailment. But the fact Is that
to-day we have over 900 patients
who need daily nursing care on
account of physical ailments"

Trotzky's impending ex-

-(UP)-A Dillinger gangster, be-
lieved to be George (Baby Facet
Nelson, identified as the machine
gunner who killed a government
agent near here Monday, eluded
pursuers today after forcing an In
dian to conceal him.
The desperate, armed with three
guns, appeared afoot Monday af-
ternoon at the home of Ole Catfish,
Chippewa Indian, onl va few hours
after the Dillinger gang shot its
way through an ambush laid by
federal agents at Little Bohemia
lodge on Spider lake.
For three days the gangster held
Catfish and his family prisoners
in their own home, rfusing to al
low anyone to go outside even to
replenish the dwindling food
supply.
He fled last night, taking Cat.
fish with him, in a Plymouth sedan
stolen from Adolph Goethe a few
miles north Of here.
Federal agents traced the car to
a filling station on highway No. 20
between Fifield and Minocqua
where the gangster threw his In.
dian companion from the car and
continued west.
Sheriffs Of two counties threw
blockades across all highway
across the region as soon as Cat
fish reported his story. Five car
loads of department of justice
agents were rushed to the densely
forested region of Squaw Lake, In
which they believed the desperate
trapped.
