M'CARTHY'S story was tistened| to by the State Lunacy: Commission » as if that were’the only charge, evi- dence or complaint against the man- | ‘ti agerkent of the Manhattan State Hospital for the Insane on Ward's |’ island. | The Commissioners have appa-| rently overlooked the Coroner's rec- | ords. There they could find the recent case of John G. Shaw, a; 76 : feeble old man, who was committed to the Ward's Island Asylum Tast June. He is now dead. ; _ The death certificate was filed only a few days before the State!© Lunacy Commission began their investigation with the defendant's sala-| ried attorney as their special counsel. This death certificate was) ‘issued by the Ward's Island doctors, and with the sanction of its man-} agement. It says that Shaw died of ‘‘general paralysis and blood Poot ing.” ‘ : a Dr. Weston, the\ Coroner’s physician, examined Shaw's body and} fotnd that two ribs had been broken and that there was a compound frac-| ture of the lower jaw. Death had resulted from the neglect of the frac- _ture of the jaw and infection resulting from this injury. LICENSE |” REQUIRED | COME ON WITH NE, | NO QUESHONS | sole ae ASKED.

The other asylum doctor said that he heard that Shaw met with an acci- dent of some kind, but how that accident occurred he had-been unable “: c ee Wirk : The Cold Gray Empty-Pocketed Dawn of the Day After Christmas =t ; Who killed John G.

In any event they were not in the ward attending to business. ‘ | As to the attendants, there is one attendant to every ten patients. | There are several attendants supposed to be on duty in every ward con- stantly.
