Mrs. Patton’s Story Strength- ened by the Resident Phy- sician’s Testimony: Dr. Duiiey D:nies That He Wants to Become Superintendent—Too Much Like Hote!-Keeping. Another of those secret investigations on which the Board of Health always falls back when a more than usually spicy scan- dal appears in any of the institutions un- der its coarge has been begun. Nominally the conduct of anumber of nurses and internes of the City and Couaty Hospital is under scrutiny, but the real fact is that Superintendent Stahle is being investigated as %o his fitness to head the institution inasmuch as the acts com- plained of took place under his notice or are supposed to have done so. Asg in the case when it desired to rid itself of Superintendent Weaver of the Almshouse, the Hospital Committee, that is in charge of the matter, will probably make public only such ‘evidence as suits its purpose. The frolics of the nurses and internes and what preceded the ride of one of the former on the shoulder of one of the latter up and down the corridors while patients were dying for want of at- tention in some of the wards will proba- bly not be told in public print. Other matters will, however, and it is expected that Stahie’s head will fall into the basket before the investigation has been finished to the satisfaction of the medicos. John T. Dare appeared before the meet- ing of the Board of Health yesterday as | the attorney of Miss Baker, Miss Dolan and Mrs. Hutchinson, nurses, who were suspended for complicity in the revel that started the scandal at the hospital. He stated that tbey desired an open investigation and complained of the sum- mary manner in which they had been re- iieved of their duties without a chance to explain. Mr. Dare claimed that the board was working a hardship on the nurses, as they were not-able, until the matter was cleared up, to obtain work elsewhere. Dr. Hart brusqueiy informed the at- torney that the investigation was in the hands of the Hospital Committee and tuat the matt-r would be attended to. Miss Patton, the head nurse. has the corroboration of Dr. Dudley in her story of the escapade of the night of November 27, which seems to form only a climax to the free and easy conduct of internes and nurses. Miss Patton says that when she came into the corridor on the night in question she was not wearing her uniform, having hastily put on what came to hand. Dr. Gunn did not recognize her, and so kepton with his play. He was at the moment chasing a nurse down the hall. | He overtook her and a struggle ensued, he trying, as Miss Patton supvosed, to kiss the nurse. He finally picked her up and carried her, her feet in the air and her head down, nearly the full length of the corridor to where she, Miss Patton, still unrecognized, stood. There, in front of her, he dropped the unfortunate nurse. “limmeaiately took that nurse in hand and led kerup to Dr. Dudley’s room,’’ said Miss Patton. ‘‘He was ip charge, Super- in‘endent Stahle being absent. I told Dr. Dudley exactly what had taken place in presence of the nurse, and she admitted it all. “Dr. Stable then said that he would suspend the nurses, but that ‘these young doctors have to go out into the world and make their way a!ter a while and they must be protected.’ To this I indignantly reiused to asser:t. Ideclared that if any body was to be protected the nurses had asmuch claim as the doctors. So I went and reported the whole thing to the board. *Being responsible for the work done in the wards I wish to put a stop to all this social relationship that obtains between the internes and nurses. Such things would not be tolerated in any private hos- pital nor in any proper training school. It should be stopped.” ¥ Kor bLerself Miss Patton took occasion to emphatically deny that she was ever suspended on any charge of familiarity with an interne. She was suspended, she says, but it was because of aslight differ- ence between herself and €uperintendent Titus. In evidence she produced this note from Dr. Titas: December 7, 1896. Miss Mary Patton, Principai of Training-school, City and County Hospital: DEAR MADAM—You are utliberty to siate on my authority that the cause for which you was suspended by me when superintendent of that institution was not {familiarity with any of the interves, or any other person, but_something entirely dif- :erel;u,nnml cnnuerngfl yom; ofl)i_ci‘:l rlexnnlt’lom with the su ent only. Yours truly, Eered F. H. Trrus, M.D. Dr. F. W. Dudley, the resident physi- cian of the hospital, corroborates the statement of /Miss Patton in so far as her report to him in the presence of the nurse is concerned. He declares that the nurse assented to all that was said and that he believes the story as given above. **As 10 the story of my being desirous to secure the office of superintendent, as pub- lished in the Examiner of this morning,” said Dr. Dudley, “it is a silly fake, a false- hood out ot whole cloth. I have no desire for the superintendency and would not accept it if it was offered to me. “I am much better pleast with my present position, as it is a me one. [ wish to progress in my profession and therefore could nou afford to take the po- sition. Ilook upon the superintendency as more 1n the line of a hotel-keeper. 1 have no ambition to spend my time giving receipts for potatoes and milk and bread. No, there is nothing of truth in that story.” 2 Dr. John F. Morse is the one memboer of the Board of Health that has from the first been opposed to the attachment of a training school for nurses to the City and County Hospital, the system that seems to be entireiy responsibie for the current scandal. He has expressad his views be- fore not only the Board of Healtn but the Board of Supervisors and the Grand Jury, s0 they are pretty well known. He thinks this City is rich enough to pay for nurses \ that are already trained; that they should be properly paid, and, being so, that they should then be required to do their work properly. He thinks, further, that the hospital should be taken out of politics and placed under the care of what might be called a Board of Public Charities, with the Mayor at its head. Under these reforms, witn strong discipline coupled with humanita- rian methods, Dr. Morse thinks the never- lacking scandal that has flaunted over the hospital until good citizens are ashamed of the institution would be quieted for- ever. A MAID'S FATAL JUMP Cecelia Robb Makes a Wild Leap While s Insane. Cecelia Robb, a maid employed by Mrs. Mary Hort of the Richelieu Hotel on Van Ness avenue, jumped from a three-story window at midnight last night and sus- tained injuries from which she will die. The girl had been ill for some days and was suffering from religious mania. The result of the fall was broken legs and arms and a broken back. There is no possibability of her survival, ‘The unfortunate victim of mania lay unconscious for some time, after which she began to scream and some men pass- ing beard ber, notified the hotel and called for medical assistance.
