Il would like to make public at
this time the facts about this case.
The brother of the Wilmington po-
lice officer was first admitted to
the Delaware State Hospital on
February 20, 1886. He was suffer-
ing from an attack of a serious
type of insanity. The patient re-
covered sufficiently in July of 1886
to be sent home.
However, he was re-admitted to
the hospital in NOvembereOf 1889,
since his condition had materially
degenerated. He escaped from the
hospital several times. He was a
disturbed violent patient, often at
temtped to attack attendants and
sometimes, as many as four at
tepdants were required to subdue
him, resulting in several instances,
in slight abrasiOns and cuts to the
patient as we'll as to the attendants
involved. The brother, the police
officer, was we'll aware of these epi-
sodes since he was generally nOti-
fed when they occurred.
''The patient died November 30,
1949 from a brain tumor. We have
on record a complete report of this
case, including the report of the
corOner's Office and the pathOlO-
gist's autopsy. Incidentally, the

self the target Of an undeserVeC
