THE CHICAGO DAILY 'RIBUN TUESDAY, MARCH 3 s e e e —— ¥. F. STOREY AND DR. JOHNSON. Mr, Storoy’s Attacks on Dr. Johnson's Frionds and the Relicf and Aid Socioty. Mr. Btorejr’s Threatening Let- ters. b A Card from Dr. Johnson. . I. Slorey, tho cditor and propriotor of tho Ohicago Times, hns ropeatedly, duriug tho Isst year, both in Lis journsl oaund in private lottors, given oxpression to n bitter hostility to myself, Undor the protoxt of & zonlfor tho public good, he has rocontly ro- nowod theso attncks with groat viculence. On account of his porsonal froling ngawst mo, ho s ncousod the Roliof and Ald Socioty of erime, for no other roason, as I boliove, than that X have boon conncated with it. He has without renson judgod unjustly othor persons whom Lo know or bolioved to bo my frionds. I desiva therefore to ptaco bofore tho public facts, and oxtracts from his lottors, which may aid ins truo intorprotation of what Lo has gaid, or may sny, of my frionds, or of tho work of Reliof, Tho ronson for his hostility towards mo was tho suddon and unoxpectod denth of tho late Mra. Storoy while under my professiounl care. Mr. Storoy's friends boliovo that this ovont pro- duced in bim o morbid foeling, rondoring him incapable of carcfully considering ovidence, but foreing bim, before ho know of the facts, to & conclusion for which thore was no just roason, and for which Lo had not oven attomptod, by any rational method, to find » reason, It isalso thought by thoso who know somothing of s lifo during tho post yeur, that this samo morbid feoling hins go far aifeoted bis previous hnbic of roasoning ns to account for his recout couversion to Bpirituallem. 'hat ho formed his opinion of my trostment of his late wifo without knowledge or fhdgmont, is abundsntly ovident from tho faots, and, having reached thia opiulon without reason, it is quite consistont that ho should Lold it in spito of reason. In otber words, upon that snbjoct he is montally and emotfonally dornnged, These proswmptlons, I thiuk, are charitablo, 1f thoy aro not true, hoia cortainly the groatest moral monster of tho ago. 4 Iknow that I did my duty in tho mattor, It 18 obvious that X could bave boon actuated by no wmotive but & desire to do alt I could for ber re- covery. Sho died of rheumatic inflammation of tho heart, and tho eudden and fatal tormination, Rough unexpocted, way perfectly in accordanco with the aceasional experionca of the profession, wud with facts found in the medieal litora- ture of thosubject. That I did not foresce kor denth is truo. There were no facts within my knowlodgo upon which I could bage such & prog= posis. My trentmont dld not produco or haston ber death, nor could I by any mosus heve pro- vented it. ! 3ir. Storey’s friondn nn[igustud that, as a_mat- tor of bumanity, I might lielp bim in his distress by submitting the history and troatmont of tho caso to a fow physicians of approved charncter and standing, for their opinion. It was thought that such an opinion, ‘whother favorable or ad- orse to mo,would furnish o rensanable bogis for » just jndgment, and that Mr. Storoy ought to mecopt’ it; aud that it might not only reliove him of much euffering, but possibly gave him from pormnuent mental derangement. In nccordauce with this suggestion, I propared from my notes & statemant of tho symptoms and troatment of Mrg, Storey whilo under my caro. Yhis statement was subsequontly published in the medical journals_of this city. To Mr. Bto- ry's life-long friend, Dr. E. 8. Fowler, of Bpring- fiold, T proposed that bo, with any two physiclans of Chicago, of roputablo charactor and standing, whom he might seloct, should carofully oxaming tho cnso togothor, with such additional In- formation, If any, 88 Mr. Storoy might desiro to give them. Dr, Fowler informed mo that Mr. Storoy did not desire such .reforence ; but that ho did dosiro his (Dr, Fowler's, uploion upon tho facts. Baliovivg thon, sy gtill do, Dr. Fowler to Lo a man of honor and o plysician of intolligenco, I placed tho manu- goript in his hands. Although I have no writton statomont to that offect, I do not understond “that ho belicvas that Mru, Storoy’s doath was in any way causod or bastened by my treatmont or noglect, or that I could_bave provented it. In Jjustice to Dr. Fowler, I ought to say that Br, Btorcy sdmits, in ono of lus lotters, that Dr. Fowlor thinks that the profession would indorse my treatment, and that she died from tho die- engo etatad. Mr. Storey's alleged reason for doclining the reforenco of the caso was, that doctors woro all leagued to- fi)lhur. and would always sustain each othor. ad M. Storey desired to roach tho truth, I am quito sure two or throo honest and capable plysicians could have beon found in Chicago %10 would have candidly oxpressed tholr judg- wment without fear or favor, From all tho information I-have roceived, and from his lottors, I believe that upon this subject ho is mentally and emotionelly morbid. I foar thut ho will naver recover from it. Bacause of this beliof, I feol no moro royentment towards bim personally thau I wonld towards a mad man who might raiso bis hand to strike mo. His latters aro made up for tho moat part of the eamg urguments that ho publishad last sum. wmerin bis newspupor, oxpressed, however, in the most violent and indecorous lsnguage. I bave nevor replied to theaa, bacause Lis languago didnot admit of argument, and I was satistied that be was not amenable to roason. Ho hus ocon- strued wy silence as cowardice, and myroticonco, In my publlshed atntomeut, o8 to tho facts ~iu tho provious® hlatory, habits, and character of bis lato wife, which might buve influonced the_ cnso, 88 an evasion —a want of candor, My considoration for his mental and moral malady ho has intorproted as 8 confession on my part of guilt, And, a8 he owns & nowspaper,and can print overy day in the your, if he likew, sny chargo which Lo mny thoose tomake, and a8 ho has declared hia in- tention to crush me, and as ho claims to be actunted sololy by a desiro to protect tha public from tho injury that mnust, in hie opiuion, bo nused by mv recklessness and carclessnoss in my treaument of my patients, aud as he proposes io atnilio auy of wy friends who may chanco to atund in tho way of o blow aimed at mo, I ex-~ tract from a few of his letters such portions ns ghow tho feoling with which lLe pursues mo. beliove theso aro only porsoual exproseions of a bittorncss of gontimant againet hocioly at large, Tho grosa porsonali- ties of his nowspapor, tho venom of Lis unpro- volied attacky upon Individuals, bis poverly of futh in anything good, and his abound- Ing faith in all ovil,—both rosulting, no dount, (romnfirnround introspoction,—all thoso jus- sify, X think, the boliof that, while he may bo to the community, from bis accldental relation to tlie press, a dangerous mon, ho it not & morally tesponsible man. An ingulry into the causes of this montal and moral pervorsity is not porbaps ggrhuom, but may bo found probably in part in iy inherent toudencles, and in part, 1 think, may be duo to accidont. His soclal odtracism, his potorions character 88 su Ishmaclits whose haud ia sgainet overy man, aund agaiuat whom tho band of every man would bo raisod i he were not considored powerless, his physioal ‘mpotenoy, his advanclug age, and his porsonul vices,—all theso have, no deubt, had much to do ¥ith ' tho production of this ued omuit. In o lotter datod Fab, 28, 1878, acknowledging my roceiptod bill for services, ho says: T havo now pasd you to tho last cont for, 53 1 belleve, Kiling or, and. for coming 0 500 Lor dead; sud T Bow owe you nothing but abborrence.
