Was Prominent Physician
DR.. Samuel Clagett Busey, who mar
ried a Miss Posey in 1847, was, as before
stated by himself, the son of John
Busey and grandson of John Busey and
Rachel Clagett, the daughter of Thomas
Clagett, seventh in line of descent from
Thomas Clagett to whom a tract of
land known as Weston, in Prince
Georges County, Md, was patented by
Lord Baltimore.
DR.. Busey was born on a farm one
and one-half miles east of Cabin John
Bridge, on July 23 1928, and died Febru-
ary 2, 1901. After finishing his pre-
liminary education at an early age, he
removed to Georgetown, and began the
study OF medicine under DR.. Hezekiah
Magruder. prominent practitioner.
Later he was a private pupil of DR..
George B. Wood of Philadelphia.
He began the practice of medicine in
Washington, which soon became an ex-
tensive one, and was elected member
of the Common Council of George
town. He assisted in the reorganiza-
ton of the Medical Society, and was
one of the founders of hospital for

it, we can now do in four weeks what
would have taken us four months or
more"
The drug isn't used in every case
only about 40 per cent of the time-and
it takes a skilled psychiatrist to decide
when 1t should be used
The test Of pentothal and of the psy-
chiatrists who have made use of it is in
the score of "cured" men-men at least
as sound as they were before they went
to war and sometimes a lot sounder
According to Col. Hastings, SO per cent
of the officers and 10 per cent of the
enlisted men go back to duty.
Here's how it actually works:
The psychiatrist interviews the man
two or three times. He suspects there
are memories the patient can't reach
emotions the man doesn't even know he
has. He may remember an incident and
he certainly knows that he's depressed
but his mind has played trick on him.
He doesn't know there may be a con-
nection between the incident and the
way he feels now. He doesn't realize that
jiC . oAi iCO III llIo uilSOlLSCIOuS lliiIlO
whole pack of trouble.
After several interviews. the psychi-
artist explains generally what he's going
to do. There's no mystery about it
particularly since the chances are the
flyer has already heard about flax
juice from his fellow patients.
Counting Backward
Then the patient lies down and the
doctor injects in his arm 212 per cent
solution of sodium pentothal in sterile
water. He gives the injection so slowly
that you can barely see the syringe
move. AS he injects the narcotic in the
crook of the patients arm, he asks the
man to start counting backward from
100.
The patient starts counting readily
enough but by the time he reaches so
Evening star., 1945-06-03

rife, he started outside to see what he
had done. AS he was turning the corner,
he heard gutteral German and saw
another paratrooper trying to help the
first one. The sergeant leveled his rife
and fired again, getting the second
paratrooper in the face.
At gunpoint, the sergeant swore to
secrecy a prisoner of war who had
watched the whole thing. The sergeant
never reported killing the two para
troopers. If he had, he probably would
have gotten decoration because the
supply room was hear the ammunition
dump and if the paratroopers had
reached there they could have blown
up the whole camp.
He was so ashamed of what he had
done that he cleaned his rife carefully
and for awhile lived in fear that some
one would suspect he had done the
Germans in, By his code he had killed
two defenseless men-defenseless be-
cause they hadn't seen him before he
shot them.
Actually the drug that lets men
talk isn't the end but the very be-
ginning of the treatment. Now the
psychiatrist is no longer trying to fight
shadows. He and his patient are now
talking about realities.
Here's how Col. Grinker brought one
pilot out of his deep depression:
A P-40 pilot finished 81 fighter sweeps
over North Africa and Italy and came
home. Eight months later he reported
sick. He couldn't sleep and when he
did manage to fall asleep, he suffered
terrible nightmares. The present and
the future were clouded in gloom.
He said he had no idea why he felt
that way. Under pentothal he started
talking about the pilot who had been
his terminate all through the North Al
rican campaign.
Flying in groups of three, the tent
mate always flew on his left wing and
always crowded him. He would shift
to keep the proper distance and some
times that threw them miles off target
This went on until about the 50th
mission. He and his two wingmen we're
briefed to strafe trucks down an Ital-
ian road. The pilot was supposed to
shoot at the trucks and his two wing
men were supposed to strafe the occu-
pants of the trucks as they leaped for
the bitches.
AS they dipped for their target the
wingman crowded him again. This
time he refused to move over. AS he
stayed on his course the wingman was
forced to go over or under him to avoid
collision. The wingman chose to go
under him, hit a tree All the pilot
saw was ball of flame dropping to
the earth.
L caused his DEATH" cried the pilot,
as he reached that point in i>is story.
If I hadn't been so stubborn, if Id
only moved over, he would be alive to-
day"
There Was Something Else
More interviews and another session
under pentothal-because Col. Grinker
suspected something else was botherlng
him-brought to light that the pilot
had father who always wanted his
son to be perfect, to succeed where
others failed.
Along with the guilt that he had
caused his friends death was the feel
ing that he had failed and his father
was condemning him for it.
Once all that was on the surface,

The uniqueneSs consists more in the
manner of construction than of interior
arrangement. 1t is built of fiintstone
collected from the farm and laid in the
walls in the shapeless condition as
found in the stone fencing dividing the
fields, the crevices and irregularities
being filled in with mortar, roughly
marking the outlines and shapes of the
separate stones lying upon one another.
The walls are firm and substantial The
masonry and material were crude.
Stone-cutting was unknown to the
builders. The interior woodwork, SASH
frames and glass seem to be the same,
and, apparently, in the same condition
as when the house was finished, rough
but strong.
THE Old Stone Tavern, near Be-
thesda, on the Tennallytown and Rock
vile turnpike, seems to have been con-
structed somewhat in like manner with
undressed stone. There is no record of
the date of building of the OLD Farm
House. but it must have been before
the use. of the old River roadway, be-
cause. though very near to the road,
it fronts away from it.
For several miles farther along the
old road, which has worn its way into
gulches, over powders and through
quicksands, following irregular lines, as
if to separate the taken up lands of
different proprietors, there are num-
her of estates which uere no tepfed tn

in Georgetown, part then of Mont
gomery County, Md, and had, besides
his wife, one son over 16, one son under
16, two daughters and five slaves.
He was a soldier of the American
Revolution, was wounded in the Bat
tie of Brandywine and lost leg in the
Battle of Germantown. and resigned
from the service February %, 1881, when
the State of Maryland advanced him a
sum of money equal to seven years half
pay of a lieutenant. He served as a
Delegate to the Continental Congress
from Maryland, and later served from
that State in the Third United States
Congress, taking his seat March 4,
1893, and resigning therefrom Novem-
ber 8, 1894, and as Thomas jefferson
was the only President the disfran-
chised people of the District of Columbia
ever voted for, it is quite likely that
Gen. Forrest was its only Representative
in Congress, since, although the Dis
trict of Columbia was then Federal ter
ritory, 1t was at that time still operating
under the laws and privileges of Mary
land.
The highest rank that Gen. Forrest
received during the Revolutionary War
was that of lieutenant colonel, the title
of general being derived from his ap-
pointment as major general of Mary
land In 1875.
After the close of the American
Revolution, Gen. Forrest engaged in
the commission business Inc George
