C_app (second letter is unreadable), sent from Denver in January, 1887, was dying in the institution. He has two daughters living in Denver, the names of whom are unknown to the authorities.

Cabassi, John
Ouray Herald 4-26-1907 Hard Nut To Crack District Attorney Selig has a hard problem to unravel. He had a murder case last week at Gunnison, and after the jury was impaneled and the testimony begun, the counsel for the defendant stated that they believed a lunacy commission should be appointed to enquire into the accused's sanity. Judge Shackleford thereupon appointed the three Gunnison physicians, who reported the next day that the fellow was insane. The jury was then dismissed and the lunatic turned over to the county court to be tried for lunacy. Wednesday Mr. Selig received a telegram from Gunnison to the effect that the murderer, John Cabassi, has been found to be sane by a jury, although the three physicians had testified that he was insane. So far the district attorney is aware there is no case similar on record and he is wondering what is the next step to take. Montrose Press.

Caine, John
Routt County Sentinel 5-12-1916 Wandering Stranger Found Insane John Caine, a stranger in the country who recently appeared in the vicinity of Hayden and who had been employed for a few days at a time at several of the ranches southeast of that town, was taken in charge and brought to Steamboat Springs by Undersheriff E. E. Clark last week, various citizens having reached the conclusion that he was insane. His case was referred to the lunacy commission by Judge Morning of the County court and the report of the commission was that Caine was so deranged that he was incapable of taking care of himself. He was therefore ordered committed to the state insane asylum, but as that institution reported that it had no room for him, he will be taken care of for the present at Woodcroft hospital. Caine stated that his father, Mike Caine, resided at Midland, Mich., and was well to do, but telegrams sent to him by Judge Morning brought no reply. Mrs. W. H. Bennett, Mrs. William Zeigler and Henry F. Brenton came from Hayden to appear as witnesses at the insanity inquisition.

Steamboat Pilot 5-10-1916 Stranger Found Insane; His Father is Notified Last week Under Sheriff Emery Clark was called to Hayden to take into custody John Caine, a laboring man who had been in the country only a short time. He worked for ranchmen south of Hayden for a few days but none of them wanted him around as he was manifestly demented. For a few days Caine had been living in the open and sleeping in barns. Caine was given a hearing last week by the lunacy commission, Drs. Dodge and Willett. The witnesses were Mrs. W. H. Bennett, Mrs. William Zeigler and H. F. Brenton. The commission found Caine not to be in his right mind, but at the same time thought he was not so demented as to be dangerous to himself or to the person or property of others. Caine talks rationally at times. He says his father lives at Midland, Mich., and Judge Morning has telegraphed there for instructions. Receiving no response from relatives Sheriff Chivington this morning took Caine to the asylum at Pueblo.

Denver Evening Post 9-13-1899 Says Soapy Smith Robbed Him Paul Calabrese, aged 19, was taken to jail last night hopelessly insane. Calabrese lives with his parents at 1819 Platte street. Yesterday at the city stock yards he acted queerly and was sent to jail. In the afternoon his father and sister came for him and as he seemed rational he was released. Last night, however, he got a club and a butcher knife and said he was going to kill his father, but a policeman arrived in time to prevent the tragedy. All night long Calabrese raved in his cell and his ravings kept all the other prisoners from sleeping. Calabrese has been working on a ranch near Fort Lupton. He came home a week ago without any money, and said the man for whom he had been working refused to pay him. Since he has been in jail he blames Soapy Smith and Gus Chase of buncoing him, and calls up Smith's spirit to argue with it at the top of his voice. He will be sent to the county hospital.
Caldwell, James
Akron Weekly Pioneer Press 5-29-1914 Found to be Insane James Caldwell, aged 34 years, was brought into the county court Wednesday morning charged with being mentally deranged. Judge More presided and Messrs. Myers, Brandt Wenig, Wm. Meredeth, E. E. Ball, Glasser and Wm. Clarey composed the jury. Dr. Smith was the first witness to be examined. He testified that James Caldwell was brought to him Saturday last and that he kept talking about being possessed with an evil spirit, which he was trying to drive out, and that he was afraid that he might harm someone when he had these spells. The doctor said I do not consider him a safe person to be at large. I have given him all the medicine I dare, to quiet him. Mrs. James Caldwell testified that her husband had not acted like himself for weeks. At first it was caused over religion; was constantly talking; did not sleep well; thought he was possessed of an evil spirit. He had been taken to another doctor who said I can do nothing for him. She said he has to be watched all the time. James Caldwell was sworn and made a rambling statement as follows: One night I was bothered. I believe in God and religion. I prayed and something came into me. I forgot. Next morning I went out to do my chores. Had a spell of laughing. I came in and told my wife I believed I had religion. I went to the field to work. I thought I saw the evil spirit. He seized me. I knelt down and prayed. I went another round and when I got to the same place the evil spirit got hold of me again. It went to my head and took me over to my parents' home and I commenced to preach. Whatever this is that gets inside of me is here inside of me in my breast, but when it goes to my head I am not accountable. It made me feel as though I wanted to hit somebody, and that seemed to be my father. In answer to a question he said Yes, I think something ought to be done for me. J. E. Strong testified that he saw James Campbell last Saturday; that he did not act like himself. Monday I saw him when he had one of his spells. He told me to mind my own business, and to another man he said 'What do you know about it?' We got one on each side of him and he threw John down. We were not expecting him to do anything of this kind. I can manage him when we are alone, but when others are present he gets excited. The other night he said 'Ed, hold me; watch me, so I can't hurt anybody.' Mr. Caldwell afterwards said A man in Haxtum and one in Kansas City have hypnotized me. No other business being called Judge More instructed the jury. Attorney Isaac Pelton addressed them and the sheriff was ordered to take the jury out. In less than a half hour they returned, each juror having signed a statement that James Caldwell is insane. He will be taken to Pueblo.

Clark, June 14, but Dr. Thombs' record does not show that they were ever received there. In checking the bills it was found that few of the dates agreed with the prison records as to date of removal of patients, in some cases the difference being as great as two weeks. No bills were in the possession of the committee for transferring Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. Walin. Hart and Clarke appear in the bill as escaped lunatics.

Campbell, Edgar W.W.
Eagle County Blade 7-23-1903 Unfortunate Young Man Adjudged To Be Insane Edgar W. W. Campbell, the young man spoken of in our issue of last week as being under arrest in Leadville on an insanity charge, and who went from Minturn to Leadville, was discharged by the Leadville authorities on Monday, as he was plainly not a charge of that county. Campbell returned at once to Minturn and upon his arrival there complaint was made to Sheriff Farnum who brought him to Red Cliff Tuesday morning. A lunacy charge was filed against him in the County court and yesterday morning he had a hearing. A jury promptly convicted the unfortunate young man of insanity, largely upon his own testimony, and Sheriff Farnum has conveyed the prisoner to Pueblo. Campbell is a prepossessing young man 34 years of age, and is apparently sane enough and of more than ordinary intelligence when conversing casually. But he is under the delusion that he has been ostracised through the intrigues of the Catholic church, which organization he claims is persecuting him. He declares he is the victim of a Catholic inquisition and has suffered much mental and physical anguish from it. He exhibits deep scars upon his throat and left wrist and admits that the wounds were self-inflicted, the act being caused by the suffering to which he was subjected and in fulfillment of prophesy. The officers got him to admit that he had twice been confined in an asylum, the open proceeding in court being apparently regular, when in fact they were inspired and conducted by his tormenters. He attributes his arrest here and detention to the machinations of secret agents of the Catholic church, from whom he cannot escape, but is resigned to his fate as he avows it is in accordance with prophesy and that he will not be detained long. The following extracts from a letter to the sheriff written by the young man's sister, Miss Viola D. Campbell, of Tacoma, Washington, will vindicate the local officers and also the jury that heard the case, if any vindication of their course is necessary: In reply to yours of the 13th will say that my brother, E. W. Campbell, while with the law firm of Dorn & Dorn, San Francisco, overworked and suffered a collapse. Later he come to Tacoma and entered the law firm of Bates & Murray, and overtaxing himself again was compelled to give up the practice of law. Mourning over his trouble he attempted to take his life, as you will see by the scars on his throat and wrist. After recovering another brother sent him to a private sanitarium at Portland, Oregon, when it was thought he was cured, but on witnessing a frightful street car accident, with a great loss of life, he again became violent and was sent to the state asylum of Washington, where he remained almost two years, when he was released as recovered. He then went east to Peoria, Illinois, where he formerly lived. He soon left there and went to New Orleans and other southern cities. No doubt the death of our father has again unsettled him. He gave his age correctly, but has never been married. He never had trouble with the Catholic church, or anyone else that I know of. I suppose the only thing to do is to commit him to an asylum until he again recovers, as we are now unable to send him to a private sanitarium, or to pay the expense of bringing him here and we would be unable to do more for him if he was here.

Carbonate Chronicle 3-25-1889 Insane Joe Campbell, the man who was taken off the Denver and Rio Grande east-bound train Friday evening, and placed in jail for being of unsound mind, carried on in a frightful manner the whole night. He got an idea into his head that his sister-in-law had followed him from Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania, and had caught him in Leadville. Wishing to provide for her comfort, he said that he had all the money that anyone needed, ten cents, and that he would see that she was properly taken care of. At last he succeeded in getting the woman on a street car, which took her to the depot. After this he was comparatively peaceable. Jailer Cameron gave him a soothing sedative which quieted him considerably. On Saturday morning he was seen by a reporter, and asked why he left Wilkesbarre. He said he was compelled to, as a gang of men wished to kill him because he had exposed some nefarious scheme against the commonwealth in which they were engaged. They had followed him from there out to the far west; every train that he boarded, some of the gang were sure to be present. They wished to take him off the train, carry him to the mountains and kill him. He had kept his eye on them all, and had managed to elude them. Campbell is respectably dressed, and it is sad to see a strong, powerful man like him suffering from such a malady. It is understood that his two brothers are in the city, who, no doubt, when they learn of the sad plight in which their brother is placed, will do everything in their power to assist him.

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 1-5-1888 The County's Insane. Marshall Phelps, who was recently summoned to Pueblo on an official errand, and at which time Campbell, who was several days ago adjudged insane, was committed to the walls of the grim asylum, accepted an invitation to inspect the institution to which this locality has contributed so many. He describes the experience as one of the most thrilling that has ever marked his voyages through the institutions of the state, while his reference' to the inmates who were dispatched from this city will be read with interest by those who know them. The first greeting I got from the unfortunate guests of the place, remarked Mr. Phelps, a shade of pathos appearing on his face, was from young Robert, who presents a healthy appearance, and who youth makes his prospect for recovery exceedingly encouraging. His insane love for alms, however, still manifests itself, and surveying his visitor for a second he lifted his hands to my shoulders and asked for a nickel. Other than that he makes no demonstration, and his keepers entertain strong hopes that his reason will be eventually restored. At times he enjoys a rational period; I was told, when he expresses a pitiful desire to return to his friends and relatives in Leadville. We were going through the meanderings of the institution, however, when a shrunken, emaciated figure darted before us and grasped my hand with all the fervor of a prodigal returned. Only a feeble, wasted shadow of its former self, I had no difficulty in identifying the figure with its hump-back as that of poor Oakley, better known as Obey, who for years resided in this city. He was as looney as ever, poor fellow, and began to chatter like a magpie, his face all the time beaming with delight at seeing us. You've no idea how he has wasted! His thigh is no bigger than my wrist, and yet he is rarely confined to his bed. In referring to his health he said he had lost his left lung and ear but if I would write to his grandfather-heaven claimed him long ago-he would replace them with a diamond lung and gold ear. Obey very reluctantly permitted us to continue the journey through the building but finally releasing ourselves we were admitted to the women's ward. There we were confronted by the most heartrending spectacle that appeared during the expedition. The keepers were just putting a straight jacket upon a woman-her name I forget-who was sent from Leadville last year. Well sir, it made my heart tremble with pity to see her writhe and twist in her insane frenzy. She is the most violent inmate of the asylum and heaven help her husband who is living in this city-the keeper informed me that she cannot live longer than a month. We had seen enough of the fierce place at this and retracing our steps sought the reception room in the meantime passing John Peterson, who killed a man on Iron Hill, in '84, and who was adjudged insane. Peterson has but very little to say, is of a shrinking disposition and appears in constant fear of an imaginary enemy. "But it's time to change shifts, and the marshal darted into the falling snow. It was on just such a night as that which has just passed that Peterson committed the crime for which he is now paying fierce penalty. The winds were howling in mad fury, snow drifts were heaping themselves about the head of the hill and dancing in riotous glee when a bullet from Peterson's six shooter swept along with the blasts, and pierced the heart of a man named O'Brien. They had been rival applicants for the hand of a young girl on the hill, and while one surrendered his suit in the sepulcher, the other disappeared in the grim vaults of despair. Peterson landed in the jail at a time when it was crowded with characters who had killed their men, and to lift the monotony of prison life, they determined to subject the assassin to a mock trial for his life. This was administered with hideous effect and predicament in which Peterson had placed himself became more horrible. He was found guilty of murder and shut in a cell by the inmates of the jail, was condemned to hang by the neck until dead, in just ten minutes after sentence was pronounced by a prisoner who was himself held for murder. Those proceedings are said to have been carried out with such realistic effect that Peterson thought them genuine. The shock was so severe that he emerged from the cell a maniac and was a few days later so adjudged. There were a number of other cases in the asylum from this locality, the names of who escaped the memory of the marshal.

John Campbell, who completed the personnel of the departing quartette was apprehended some weeks ago while fleeing from an imaginary mob, whom he declared were after him. Prostrated by his awful hallucinations, he was taken before Judge Phelps and a jury of six adjudged him insane. He has no relatives in the city, and but a few personal friends, so that but little interest was shown in the case of the unfortunate fellow.

Steamboat Pilot 1-13-1904 A sad case is that of Mrs. Susanna Campbell of Dunkley who has become insane. Mrs. Campbell's mind has not been strong for some time and last Tuesday she became a raving maniac. She was brought to Yampa Saturday, supposing that a permit could be obtained to take her to the asylum. Judge Burnham was consulted over the phone and that official refused to act in the case unless the woman was brought to Hahns Peak, which appears to us to be considerable red tape considering all the circumstances of the case. We think as an act of humanity the Judge might have moved his court to Yampa for this case. The parties in charge of the afflicted woman left on their long cold trip for Hahns Peak Sunday morning.
Campbell, Theodore
Rocky Mountain News 7-19-1890 Found Them Insane Two Unfortunates Brought Before Judge Miller For Final Examination
At this hour two lunacy cases were brought before his honor for trial. The first of the alleged lunatics to be tried was Theodore Campbell. Theodore was brought to the county hospital on Sunday last. According to the physicians in charge he was at once pronounced to be slightly demented. Campbell, except for his fixed stare and halting walk, looked like any ordinary man. When placed on the stand on his own behalf he answered nearly every question rationally except those pertaining to events which occurred during the past two months. He said he came originally from New York city and went to Idaho and engaged in mining. Not long ago he was an inmate of a hospital in that state, but for what reason he was placed there he could not tell. Recently he said he had made up his mind to go back to see his mother in New York. He said he purchased a through ticket, but stopped off at this city. He could give no reason for this action, and said he left Idaho on July 3 and got here on July 4. He could not remember where he slept or stopped while in this city, nor could he explain how he lost $196, which he claimed to have had with him. The county physician said that there was no doubt but that with care he could be cured. The jury found him to be insane, but a few months' treatment will undoubtedly make him well again
Both men were taken to the state asylum last night by Deputy Sheriff Casey.

Rocky Mountain News 5-24-1890 Adjudged Insane Three alleged lunatics were officially declared insane yesterday by sheriff's juries in the county court before Judge Miller. They were John Camplin, William Clinton and a boy named Walter G. Harrison. The latter's case was the saddest of all. The little fellow was only 7 years old and it was claimed that the whooping cough was responsible for his condition. He was an idiot and also was otherwise afflicted. William Clinton imagined that he had been sent from above to revolutionize the world. His sorrowing wife sat beside him in court while he gazed vacantly about him. Camplin was also possessed of strange hallucinations. The three unfortunates will be taken to the insane asylum at Pueblo by Deputy Sheriff Golder to-morrow.

Cann, Mary Ann Hopkins
Record Journal of Douglas County 8-15-1913 Robert Cann Robert Cann, son of Richard and Sarah Cann, was born in Devonshire, England, in 1837. He was married to Mary Ann Hopkins about 1867. Mr. and Mrs. Cann cames to the States in 1870, coming direct to Denver, where they stopped only a short time and then removed to Douglas county. Here they took up a homestead ranch of one hundred and sixty acres on Indian Creek. By his natural frugality he added to the homestead ranch until he had acquired about six hundred acres, the present ranch property. They lived on this ranch until about 1894 when they removed to Sedalia where they have since resided. They were obliged to leave the ranch owing to the affliction of Mrs. Cann, who was stricken with blindness, a malady from which she has never found relief to this day. Mr. Cann was a communicant of the Church of England and Mrs. Cann was confirmed in the Episcopal church in May of last year in Manhart hall, Sedalia. Mr. Cann's illness dates from a slight fall in his house some month's ago, which, however, resulted seriously for him. His right leg was severely sprained and he declined in health from that time till the day of his death, Saturday evening, August 9th, 1913. Mr. Cann was a good man and neighbor; a hard worker, and though rather reticent, was shrewd and successful in business affairs. He leaves Mrs. Cann, a sister, Mrs. Bailey, living in Devonshire, England, and her son, living at Rawlins, Wyoming, to mourn his loss. He left a competence for the maintenance of Mrs. Cann. Funeral services were held at the Bear Canon church on Monday, Rev. James MacLaughlin officiating, assisted by Rev. V. O. Penley. Burial was made in the Bear Canon cemetery.

Colorado Weekly Chieftan 10-23-1879 The new insane asylum at Pueblo is to be ready for reception of patients on the 20th., next Monday,. Arapahoe county,says the Times, will immediately transfer its seven patients from Oak Lawn Retreat, and two E. T. Mauff and Dennis Haggarty- from the county jail to the new institution. Several men will be sent to Jacksonville to guard the patients while on their way here. They will probabably leave for their unwelcome task on Saturday morning, and if they succeed in transfering their charges without incident or accident, we shall be mistaken. Not to speak of the well known lunatic Robert Burke,who refuses to eat or drink from the hands of another, and Cosmo Cannales, the vindictive foreigner, a new obstacle will be presented in the unwieldy person of Lizzie Halpin, the woman who was sent east last fall, and who was before her departure so well known herebouts. Lizzie has become so large and fat that she cannot move without assistance. Superintendent McFarland has awakened to find a white elephant on his hands, and is sorely perplexed therby. In a letter to Mr. Crocker, just received, he says: She (Halpin) is enormously corpulent, and is at the same time entirely paralyzed in her lower extremities. She is a mere mountain of flesh, and so helpless as to be unable to get from the floor to the low bedstead except by a dead lift by several persons. I am getting concerned for her fate in the event of a fire, as all of my patients are above the first story. In such event everything would be in ashes before all my available force would get her to the ground. McFarland was considering the advisability of building a separate house for this woman's sole occupation. If so much trouble is experienced in taking care of her while at the asylum, and surrounded by trained guards and all the special conveniences of that institution, what will be the experience of the man to whom her body is intrusted for removal to Pueblo? We pause to tremble. It is suggested that the county officers might purchase a tent upon her arrival, and meet a portion of the expenses by a judiciously managed side-show exhibition. Arapahoe county has seven patients to go to the insane asylum at Pueblo from Oak Lawn Retreat in Jacksonville, Illinois. The commissioners have just issued an order to Mr. James Duggan to transport these patients from Oak Lawn to the institution at Pueblo. The names of the insane ones are Robert Burke, Eliza Hopkins, Mary Greer, Cosmo Gonsales, David Kline, and Moses Millsap. These are almost all incurables, Mr. Duggan will leave for Illinois on Satuday with a guard.

Daily Rocky Mountain News 1-10, 1879 - Session of the Commissioners - The county commissioners were in session yesterday with all the members of the board present... The quarterly report of Dr. Andrew McFarland, of the Oak Lawn Insane Retreat, was submitted and read. The report gives a diagnosis of the condition of Robert Burke, Joseph Klein, Moses M. Millsap, Cosmo Cannelis, Walter Patterson and Mary Greer, patients from this county. None of these, according to the physicians' report, are improving, and some of them are growing worse.

Carbonate Chronicle 2-2-1920 Insane Men Prisoners Governor Shoup's Lunacy Commission Finds 26 Inmates of Canon Crazy Ten of Them Serving Terms for Murder Denver, Jan. 31. Twenty-six inmates of the Colorado penitentiary were today declared insane in a report submitted to Governor Shoup by a special lunacy commission recently appointed by him. All but ten of the inmates adjudged insane are serving terms for murder. Among the twenty-eight adjudged insane are James Bulger, Denver soldier of fortune, who on the night of May 6, 1914, killed L. F. Nicodemus, then one of the proprietors of a local hotel, and Oren Slinde, a youth of 20 years, who slew his father and a hired man in a double murder on a farm seventeen miles northwest of Boulder on September 11, 1919. Besides Bulger and Slinde, those convicted of murder who were adjudged insane are: Robert Buchanan, Frank Cantania, John Deitz, Felix Belfino, Lauro Garcia, Robert Hunt, M. Milobar, George Novac, Arthur Norman, James Oldham, J. C. Stewart, Louis Seeley, Al Scott and P. C. Talbot. The others and the crimes for which they were sentenced are: B. A. Comstock, burglary; R. C. Davis, assault to kill; S. H. Shrader, burglary and larceny; G. Schneider, assault to rob; John East, burglary and larceny; J. Smelkert, obstruction of railroad property; Rose Chali, statutory offense; S. Gonzales, indecent liberties; and J. C. Messing, statutory offense. Forty-three inmates were examined by the commission. A competent medical determination of the mental condition of persons committed to the state prison whose sanity appeared doubtful was asked some weeks ago by Warden Thomas J. Tynan. The commission appointed consisted of Dr. Edward Delehanty of Denver; Dr. Howell T. Pershing, of Denver, and Dr. C. W. Thompson, of Pueblo. Governor Shoup recently wrote to all district attorneys in Colorado requesting that great care be exercised in determining whether persons convicted of high crimes were mentally sound. The persons adjudged insane will be at once removed to the state hospital for the insane, according to the authorities.

Rocky Mountain News 5-28-1886 Carey Crazy A Former Denver Criminal Goes Mad and is Declared Insane in the County Court The case of James Carey, one of the convicts who came up from Canon City on habeas corpus proceedings and who was afterwards indicted by the grand jury and held for trial in the Criminal court, was yesterday before the County court, Carey being examined on the charge of lunacy. It appeared from the evidence that Carey had been made crazy by his own vices, and was clearly insane. The jury returned a verdict of insanity and Carey will be sent to the asylum at Pueblo. Carey was sent to the penitentiary last fall on his conviction of charges of robbery, burglary and receiving stolen goods. He was a good looking young fellow with blue eyes, light curling hair and a rather intelligent face when sent to the penitentiary last fall, and his insanity, which seems to be genuine, has developed since that time. One form of his mania is exhibited in donning woman's attire, and is evidently founded on the delusion that he has in some way changed his sex. His former companion in crime, Buck Mann, is sane enough, and was recently convicted in the Criminal court on several charges of receiving stolen goods.

For the past sixteen years his name has appeared almost daily in the Denver papers chronicling some criminal case he has brought to a finish. Sam Howe is a member of the city detective department, and during the past decade almost he has handled thousands of cases. He is reckoned as one of the shrewdest detectives in the country and has the reputation of never having worked more than forty-eight hours on any one case of which he had charge
He has collected, since he has been on the force, thirteen volumes of newspaper literature, which he clips daily and pastes in scrap books, and the record is complete. Mention to him a name in the rogues' gallery, and he will find the photograph immediately and tell the man's history
There is a higher class of crooks known as night hawks, who perform their work Sunday evenings. James Carey and William M. Mann alias Burke came under that name. They would watch a block, for instance, and when the family left for church these two worthies would sail in and carry off everything they could lay their hand on. Carey was sentenced to six years and nine months and Mann to four years, December 29, 1885. Carey became insane and was transferred to the Pueblo Insane asylum, where he is now. Mann was granted a new trial and his term was reduced to three years May 28, 1886. Both were gamblers and opium fiends.

Rocky Mountain News 5-7-1886 Is Carey Crazy? The Sanity of a Convict - From Canon City to be Tested in the County Court The Carey and Mann Trials Postponed There seems to be so much doubt as to the sanity of James Carey, who, together with William (better known as Buck) Mann, was sent to the pentitentiary by Judge Platt Rogers for a long term of years last fall, but who has recently been released on habeas corpus, that his trial in the Criminal court has been postponed. Carey's insanity is to be tested in the County court, and the trial of Carey and Mann for larceny and receiving stolen goods has been continued till May 24. Carey is said to act very strangely at the County jail, and to persist in wearing a woman's skirt most of the time. He is a rather good looking young man, with brown curling hair and blue eyes, but was considered an accomplished crook when arrested. At the first trial, when Carey and Mann were charged with burglary, Carey claimed that he had simply been Mann's roommate, and knew nothing about the robberies. Mann, on the other hand, claimed that he was the victim, and Carey the robber. As Mann had hitherto borne a good reputation he received a much shorter sentence than Carey after the trial. Mann had been an opium eater and a gambler but had never been charged with crime. The opinion of the prosecution at the first trial was that he was less guilty in the transactions, which were said to largely consist in daylight robberies and sneak thieving, with some housebreaking after dark, than Carey was. The prosecution have been disposed to seriously doubt the claim that Carey was insane.

Rocky Mountain News 5-25-1886 The Carey and Mann Cases Buck Mann on Trial Yesterday for Burglary Carey to be Tried on Thursday for Lunacy William Mann was on trial on eight different charges of burglary, larceny and receiving stolen goods in the Criminal court yesterday. Mann was formerly a gambler in Denver, and was familiarly known as Buck Mann. He had borne a pretty fair reputation for honesty before his arrest, but was connected with a man named James Carey. A series of night and daylight robberies of private residences, whose occupants were down town or at the theatre when the robberies were committed, were charged against them and both Carey and Mann were sent to the penitentiary last fall, Carey getting the longer term of the two. Both men were released from the penitentiary this spring on habeas corpus proceedings, and were re-arrested and re-indicted. Mann's trial was not completed yesterday, but his case will probably go to the jury to-day. Carey, since he was brought from the penitentiary to the county jail in this city, has acted strangely and it has been asserted that he was insane. He appears to have been too sick to appear before the County court last week, but his trial for lunacy will take place in the County court on Tuesday next. At the trial of the case last fall Carey claimed that he had been led into trouble by rooming with Mann, while Mann claimed that he got into trouble by rooming with Carey. Carey will not be brought before the Criminal court till his sanity or insanity has been passed upon in the County court.

Leadville Daily Herald 1-8-1882 A Mad Woman She Fires Into a Crowd and Nearly Shoots a Little Boy The entire neighborhood of East Chestnut and Hemlock streets was thrown into a state of terrible excitement about nine o'clock yesterday morning in consequence of the appearance of one of the neighbors in a state of mind that could be classified only as madness. The woman's name is Christine Carlson, who, it will be remembered, shot at a miner some two months ago for trying to enter her house in mistake, inflicting a slight wound on the neck. For this she was sent to the county jail, but Judge McDowall discharged her on her preliminary examination. By occupation she is a laundress, but owing to the little use of linen in the neighborhood, her living has been precarious ever since she started here. Early in the morning strange noises were said to emanate from the washerwoman's cabin, and soon the rumor was spread broadcast that the woman had gone crazy. A crowd assembled at a respectful distance around the door, and in the course of half an hour she made her appearance, armed with a revolver. For an instant she surveyed the crowd, who shrank back in affright, and then thrusting a pistol out she suddenly fired. The shot was at random, but the bullet whistled within a few inches of the head of a little boy who was standing near by. The child shrieked in fright and rushed away, when the crowd lost no time in getting out of range. Meanwhile a messenger had been sent for a police officer, and in the course of a few moments after the shooting Officer Leon Polland put in appearance. The situation was explained to him, and he deliberated for an instant what to do. After knocking at the door and receiving no answer he opened the aperture only to find a pistol pointed at him in the hands of the crazy woman. He was ordered to leave and he complied without question, hurrying into the city for assistance and advice. On Harrison avenue he was joined by Officers Ed. Bradbury and Charlie Hines, and returned to the scene of the trouble. The whole neighborhood was by this time aroused, and stood about a hundred yards away from the place, fearing to go any nearer. Officer Hines entered first and finding the woman with a knife in her hands, he commanded her in cool but imperative terms to put down that knife. The effect of the command was what was desired and the officer soon had her in his possession. The knife was taken from her and was led to the jail almost a raving maniac. At the county institution she created quite a stir, spitting in people's faces and behaving so unruly that it was finally necessary to handcuff her. The poor woman speaks but little English, being a Swede by birth, but when a Herald reporter called last evening she was articulating some Latin prayers and prayed to the scribe to give her liberty. Ever since she was arrested before, her mind seems to have been losing its balance.

Rocky Mountain News 1-18-1891 Courts and Clients Her Mind Affected Sophia Carlson, who resides at 1444 Glenarm street, was arrested by Officer Casey of the sheriff's office on charge on being a lunatic. Her case was tried in the county court yesterday and she was convicted of lunacy. She claims that she has a telephone in her head and people are continually calling her. On her way to the county hospital she claimed that some one had telephoned her that there was $400 down at police headquarters, and she wanted to be released so she could go and get it. It is thought by the physicians who examined her that there is a chance for her recovery if kept quiet and properly fed. One of the most remarkable features of the case is that, though she lived at 1444 Glenarm, there was no one present at the trial who knew her or could tell anything about her. Officer Casey made some examination of her case, and says that she collected the money due from the roomers at that number. An investigation of this case should be made, as it is possible that she may own the furniture and kept the rooms there for rent. She will be taken to Pueblo in the morning.
Carlson, Sophia
Rocky Mountain News 1-21-1891 Sophia Carlson's Case In the matter of Sophia Carlson, who was brought before the county court on Saturday last and was tried and convicted of lunacy, it was stated by this paper on Sunday morning last that one of the most remarkable features of the case is that, though she lived at 1444 Glenarm street, and there was no one present at the trial who knew her or could tell anything about her, and that an investigation of this case should be made, etc., it seems that the item has born fruit, and has started the investigation suggested and has developed the fact that she has friends who were totally without knowledge of her being tried for lunacy, and had they known it would have interested themselves on her behalf. As to Sophia Carlson's insanity there is no doubt; it was so found by the jury, and she was taken the next day to Pueblo. It is claimed by her friends who reside at the house with her that she was arrested, tried and railroaded through to the asylum in four days, against the express provisions of the statute requiring at least ten days' notice to be given before inquest can be held. The statute provides that the lunatic may waive such ten days' notice and elect that the inquest shall be sooner held, and that the court may appoint a guardian ad litem. In this case, when Sophia Carlson was arraigned the guardian ad litem may have expressly waived this ten days' notice, and this may account for the shortness of time in which she was tried, convicted and sent to the asylum.

Boulder County Herald Weekly 3-1-1899 James Carr who had been prospecting in Gregory canyon, started to walk to town 22 Feb 1899. Suffered severely from the cold and becoming confused, lost his way and wandered aimlessly until morning.

Carrin, Thomas
Ouray Herald 2-5-1909 Thomas Carrin Last week Marshal Chelders picked up an old man, about 65 years of age and finally landed him in the city jail because he did not seem to know anything about what he wanted to do, where he was going or where he came from. When asked who he was he stated that his name is Tom Carrin. He says he is just thirty one years of age, came from the north, about ten thousand miles and has walked all the way. When asked why he came up to Ouray, he said he had a barrel of grease and could not get over the mountain the other way. He stated that he wanted to go to California, but could not get there now because there is grease all over the road. He didn't have any money and seemed to be ravenously hungry, though he would not ask for anything, but ate everything that was placed before him. When he saw the marshal smoking a cigar he asked for one, but refused to take a drink of whisky. Monday he was transferred to the county jail. Wednesday morning he was tried before a jury in the county court and found to be insane. Sheriff McKnight left with him for the insane hospital at Pueblo that morning and landed him safely there.

Carbonate Chronicle 4-22-1889 Taken To The Asylum How the Mother of Richard Orth Left On the Train That Carried Her Son's Dead Body to This City Mrs. L. E. Carroll, a lady nearly 60 years of age, sat in the county court yesterday afternoon, and went through various tests to determine her sanity. She was found to be insane, and the court directed that she be sent to the state insane asylum at Pueblo. The woman is considered harmless, but is undeniably out of her head. She has, on several occasions, been found wandering aimlessly about the streets and, last week, was taken to the county jail. When placed on the witness stand yesterday to testify in her own behalf, she protested strongly against the allegation that she was insane, but finally launched out in a disconnected, rambling talk that fully proved she was so unfortunately afflicted. The case is a very sad one. It is understood she has relatives, but they can do nothing with her, and this course is undoubtedly the best. Mrs. Carroll is the mother of Richard Orth, who died in Glenwood Springs yesterday. The unfortunate woman was taken to Pueblo by Under Sheriff Loomis last evening. The news of her son's death was not told her, and by the same train which brought the dead body of Richard Orth from Glenwood at 1 o'clock this morning, his mother departed for the asylum, to remain, in all probability, for the remainder of her days.

Rocky Mountain News 4-22-1897 William Cathay's Whim For Twenty Years He Masqueraded as a Woman Pueblo, Colo., April 21 Fifteen or twenty years ago Cathy Williams was a well known and highly respected negro servant woman in Pueblo. She was employed by many of the most prominent families as a laundress. Thoroughly deferential in every way she was a typical servant of the South during the antebellum days. Some years ago she left Pueblo and went to Trinidad, where she worked for many prominent people, especially in the capacity of laundress. Some months ago Cathy Williams gave evidences of insanity and was adjudged insane by the county court at Trinidad. There being no room in the woman's department at the insane asylum here, she was brought to a private asylum then maintained at the Mount Pleasant house on Tenderfoot hill. No Place For Her Arriving there the supposed woman immediately told the attending physician that that was no place for her as she was a man. The fact discovered, it was deemed best, however, not to make a change in the patient's style of dress, which had been worn for twenty years, on account of its possible effect on the disease from which the patient was suffering. Arrangements were made to keep the patient and she was put in charge of the laundry. Antipathy to Women As in previous years, Cathy Williams displayed great antipathy to women, and had nothing to do with them except to give instructions in his department. Some time last week it was decided that owing to the lack of room at the private asylum it would be necessary to send the patient back to Trinidad, and accordingly last week Cathy Williams left here. On Monday the same individual appeared in the county court at Trinidad as William Cathay and was adjudged insane and was returned here to-day and committed to the asylum as a man. Cathay's Malady The malady from which Cathay is suffering is a belief that an Italian with a bear is constantly following him and calling to him to make him dance with the bear for the amusement of the public. Except for this one thing Cathay is entirely rational. He says that he served through the war as a body servant to Generals Sherman and Grant and that he donned woman's clothes in a moment of whim and continued to wear them. Cathy Williams is well remembered by a large number of people here and the fact that she was a man will be a great surprise to many here and in Trinidad also, where Cathy Williams was one of the most respected servants in the city. He is about 50 years of age, medium size and fairly stout.

Rocky Mountain News 8-21-1890 Infamy is Charged Startling Letter Received by The News from a Convict in the State Prison It Is Alleged that Brutal Cruelty and Semi-Poisonous Food Are the Lot of the Prisoners Accusations Which Demand the Attention of Governor Cooper and the Commissioners The News received the following letter several days ago. It has satisfied itself that the letter is what it purports to be that of a convict within the walls of the penitentiary. The letter is published because of the gravity of the charges. If they are true the truth should be known at once, and whether they are true or not can only be satisfactorily known after an investigation. The News assumes the responsibility of publishing the letter, the only object being to induce Governor Cooper to act and act promptly. If the charges are unfounded Warden Lamping should be foremost in urging the governor to institute the investigation. It is not possible to learn the facts through the facilities offered to private persons. No one can enter the penitentiary without the consent of the warden and no one can talk with the prisoners except under the surveillance of the guards. For these reasons the ordinary channels of investigation are closed the only possible channel being an official one, which the governor alone can open. He also is the only person who can give immunity from punishment to the prisoners should they by their testimony maintain the charges. The News publishes the letter prompted solely by feelings of humanity; and it will be as prompt to set forth the truth as shown by an investigation should it exonerate the warden from all or any part of the inhumanity charged against him. The Letter To The Rocky Mountain News: The Penitentiary, Canon City, Colo., Aug. Sir: By mutual request of my fellow-prisoners I, the undersigned, respectfully submit to you the following statement and fervently pray that your philanthropy will prompt you to give the matter to the public: It is generally supposed by the citizens of Colorado that the state penitentiary at Canon City is governed by men who are actuated by honest motives, and who will do all in their power that is conducive to the reformation and welfare of the criminal. How far the public are deceived and how far the warden falls short of a faithful compliance with his oath of office, will be seen in the complaint that we are obliged to make. Since the induction of Mr. Lamping into office we have been treated with the utmost cruelty. The nefarious instruments of punishment that were condemned by Governor Adams are again in vogue, and any evening after sun-down the passersby can hear the desperate cry of some unfortunate convict as he prays for mercy while he is being tortured by the brutes who dare to call themselves men. This punishment is reserved for the prisoner until the day's work is done so that all the guards will have a chance to witness the brutal treatment. After supper the unhappy victim is led forth from his cell to the vicinity of the stable and compelled to stand with his back to a post erected for such occasions. Two officers are generally ordered to tie the prisoner's hands behind his back; a strap is then drawn around him, lashing his body to the post. Holds His Ears An officer attired in waterproof clothes now steps behind the post and holds the prisoner's ears while another stands off about six feet and throws a stream of water in the prisoner's face. There is generally a sixty-pound pressure on the pump and the water is thrown with so much force that it tears the flesh from the prisoner's face. The force of the water compels the prisoner to open his mouth and the stream is thrown down his throat until he is almost strangled. He is then granted a respite till he has thrown up the water he swallowed and regained his breath. This operation is repeated three or four times. Finally, when the guards have had sufficient fun, the water is thrown in the victim's face until he is knocked out. About four months ago Maurice Cavanagh, a prisoner serving a two year's sentence, was punished in this manner for a very trifling offense. The warden was drunk on the occasion and ordered his men to hose Cavanagh till he became insensible. The prisoner previous to his punishment was a stout, hearty fellow. In one week after his punishment he was a lunatic. The doctors imputed his insanity to self-abuse and the unhappy man was removed to the insane asylum at Pueblo. A few weeks later he died and 500 of us now within these walls believe that the warden is responsible for his death. Stringing Up Another engine of torture is what is known as the stringing-up machine. It consists of a pair of handcuffs and a rope. The prisoner is taken to the warehouse and obliged to ascend a platform that is stationed in one corner of it. Before adjusting the handcuffs the ropes are twisted so that when the offender is swung from the platform he is whirled in the air at the rate of 100 revolutions a minute. He is wound off the platform by means of a windlass. When the whirling motion has ceased, the officers propound all kinds of taunting questions to their victim, and if he shows more fortitude than they like to see in an unfortunate man one of them will jump up and swing himself from the prisoner's shoulder in order to increase the pain. The victim is left hanging until non-circulation causes insensibility. It is a frequent occurrence to throw a bucket of water in the man's face and ask him how he likes it. The laws laid down for the disciplining of prisoners say that the officers must always remember the prisoner's helplessness and enjoin them not to give their method of punishment the appearance of retaliation, but this law is perverted and they tyrannize over the prisoner just because he is at their mercy. I will ask you, sir, and through you ask the public, what good will be accomplished by such conduct? Will it not make us murderers rather than good Christians. But, sir, this is not all. We have a greater evil to combat than those already mentioned. Hungry Men Will you believe me when I tell you that there are 500 hungry men within the walls at the present moment. When I recall the lively way in which the Denver Republican lauded the liberality of Mr. Lamping and his generous treatment of the prisoners, I fear that you will give no credence to my statement, but it is nevertheless true. We are starving, and where under the administration of C. P. Hoyt we received a sufficiency of good, wholesome food, we are now obliged to subsist on a meager allowance of putrid meat, and other articles of diet, cooked in so filthy a manner that is impossible to eat it. The bread is not given to us until it is four or five days old until it has become mouldy. The steward says that if given to us fresh we will eat too much of it. The maggots are crawling from the cracks in the dining-room tables, and in the morning each plate is black from the deposits made upon it by the flies during the night. The smell arising from our food is sometimes so offensive that many of the guards and convicts have to leave the dining room till the meal is over. Some of the guards have been bold enough to call the steward's attention to the state of affairs and that worthy replied that the grub is good enough for convicts. But you will say, how does it come that the commissioners do not attend to your case? Well, sir, there are about forty convicts employed as dog-robbers and clerks about the prison. These men all eat in the guards' kitchen, and as the commissioners seldom talk with any other than these they have no chance to learn how we are situated. No Petitions Allowed A short time ago we tried to get a petition to the commissioners but the warden heard about it and the parties concerned in it were unmercifully punished for their boldness. No, sir, our only chance is through you, and we have resorted to this as a last expedient to demand or rather beg an investigation of our condition. I understand there is in your city a society to prevent cruelty to animals, and if those good Christian people whose mission it is to investigate the case fails to do so perhaps the humane society will consider us as animals and take the matter up. We do not want the people to regard us as martyred lambs. We know we have violated the law and must be punished, but brutality and starvation are not authorized by law as a means of reformation. You may deem this an exaggerated account of our grievances, but I assure you, sir, the case is worse than I represent it. I am obliged to smuggle this letter out and must, for fear of detection, withhold my name. But I will make these charges before a committee of investigation, and make myself known in the presence of the warden. There are 500 men ready to prove the truth of what I say, and there are forty cases of fever in the hospital at present, all caused by eating putrid meat. Again, hoping your charitableness will prompt you to publish it, I remain your humble servant. A Long-Timer.

Cedargreen, Alma
Rocky Mountain News 5-21-1884 An Insane Case Strange Insanity Manifested by a Woman Sent to Pueblo Yesterday Yesterday afternoon the case of Alma Cedargreen, a young Swedish girl said to be a lunatic, was tried by a jury in the County court. Mr. and Mrs. Stearns (the latter the sister of the unfortunate girl), Dr. Rothwell and a number of other witnesses were examined, including Mrs. St. George, the matron at the county hospital. The evidence of the girl's insanity was very convincing. Her behavior in the court room was restless and agitated and she talked a great deal in an aimless manner to her sister, accompanying the talk by various strange and nervous movements, such as putting on and taking off her hat, putting on and taking off a lace bandage from her eyes and acting all the time as if her head was troubling her. Dr. Rothwell ascribes the girl's malady to disturbances of the menses, and thinks that under proper treatment she may be cured. She began to appear strange about a year ago last March, and used to be troubled much with sleeplessness. She remained silent on some occasions for two or three hours at a time and appeared to be studying. Her melancholy increased to insane freaks of running away, and she is said to have once performed the rather surprising feat of walking from Leadville to Pueblo, spending two nights on the road, according to her own account. At times she is said to have fancied herself a rooster, at other times a pig, and has brooded a good deal over the subject of death. She was taken care of by her relatives for over a year, but as they are in rather moderate circumstances and as she was continually running away, it became impossible to take care of her. Accordingly she was last Wednesday sent to the county hospital, where she has made so much trouble that it has been decided to send her to the insane asylum at Pueblo. She was declared insane yesterday and will be sent there.

Carbonate Chronicle 2-2-1920 Insane Men Prisoners Governor Shoup's Lunacy Commission Finds 26 Inmates of Canon Crazy Ten of Them Serving Terms for Murder Denver, Jan. 31. Twenty-six inmates of the Colorado penitentiary were today declared insane in a report submitted to Governor Shoup by a special lunacy commission recently appointed by him. All but ten of the inmates adjudged insane are serving terms for murder. Among the twenty-eight adjudged insane are James Bulger, Denver soldier of fortune, who on the night of May 6, 1914, killed L. F. Nicodemus, then one of the proprietors of a local hotel, and Oren Slinde, a youth of 20 years, who slew his father and a hired man in a double murder on a farm seventeen miles northwest of Boulder on September 11, 1919. Besides Bulger and Slinde, those convicted of murder who were adjudged insane are: Robert Buchanan, Frank Cantania, John Deitz, Felix Belfino, Lauro Garcia, Robert Hunt, M. Milobar, George Novac, Arthur Norman, James Oldham, J. C. Stewart, Louis Seeley, Al Scott and P. C. Talbot. The others and the crimes for which they were sentenced are: B. A. Comstock, burglary; R. C. Davis, assault to kill; S. H. Shrader, burglary and larceny; G. Schneider, assault to rob; John East, burglary and larceny; J. Smelkert, obstruction of railroad property; Rose Chali, statutory offense; S. Gonzales, indecent liberties; and J. C. Messing, statutory offense. Forty-three inmates were examined by the commission. A competent medical determination of the mental condition of persons committed to the state prison whose sanity appeared doubtful was asked some weeks ago by Warden Thomas J. Tynan. The commission appointed consisted of Dr. Edward Delehanty of Denver; Dr. Howell T. Pershing, of Denver, and Dr. C. W. Thompson, of Pueblo. Governor Shoup recently wrote to all district attorneys in Colorado requesting that great care be exercised in determining whether persons convicted of high crimes were mentally sound. The persons adjudged insane will be at once removed to the state hospital for the insane, according to the authorities.

17 August 1895 Aspen Weekly Time (Aspen, Pitken County) A Terrible Calamity Mrs. William Chambers Found Insane By a Jury From Wednesday's Daily, Gertrude Chambers, wife of William Chambers, who works on the Mollie Gibson mine, and who resides on the mesa, became violently insane on Monday and on yesterday proceeding were held before County Judge Johnson to determine her mental condition with a view of sending her to the Pueblo asylum. District Attorney Wiley appeared for the people and Arthur Maltby, esq. was appointed by the court as the defendant's guardian and attorney in these proceedings. The following composed the jury: M. P. Ripperton, Edwin McMillan, Michael Fitzpatrick, Frank Nash, P. Higgins and Alexander Fort. Before bringing their verdict the jury personally investigated the facts, as the poor woman was in a raving condition and could not appear in court. On their arrival she was found to have gone to Mr. Alexander Fort's house, but was brought home and her sad plight seen by the jury. In court the following witnesses were examined: H.L. Wilson, Miss Ella Holmes, Dr. Ramsey, as examiner in Lunacy, and Deputy Sheriff Frank Marron. They all testified to her insanity and violent condition, and the jury brought in a verdict in accordance with the facts presented. The unfortunate lady has a little child which will be left in the care of her husband's sister, who came up from Glenwood on Saturday last. Sheriff Hayes and Mr. Chambers accompanied the lady to Pueblo on last night's Rio Grande.
Chambers, Gertrude
Aspen Tribune 8-13-1895 Went Insane. Mrs. Will Chambers, residing at 1808 Fifth street, became suddenly and violently insane at her home yesterday morning. Competent physicians were immediately summoned to her aid, and after a thorough investigation of her condition reported the affliction to be only temporary but were unable to give particulars concerning the causes which led up to her trouble, other than that of general physical depression. Mrs. Chambers has lived in Aspen for some time and is well known both here and in Glenwood. About year ago a girl of seventeen she married Will Chambers of this place, since which time she has been gradually ailing in health, to which condition her present affliction is probably due.

Aspen Tribune 8-14-1895 She is Adjudged Insane Mrs. Gertrude Chambers Sent to Pueblo An Aspen Lady Loses Her Mind from Illness and Becomes So Violent That it is Found Necessary to Remove Her to the Asylum for the Insane Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Gertrude Chambers, who has resided with her husband in Aspen for the past three months, had a hearing in the county courts as to her sanity. Mrs. Chambers is the mother of a ten months old babe and her husband is a miner working on the Mollie Gibson mine. About two weeks ago she was taken ill and as she grew worse her mind began to fail. A few days ago she became quite violent and it became quite evident that she would have to be sent to the institution for the treatment of the insane at Pueblo. A jury composed of M. P. Ripperton, Ed McMillan, Mike Fitzpatrick, Frank Nash, P. Higgins and Alex Fort was called to listen to the evidence which was introduced to show that the unfortunate lady had lost her reason. After hearing the testimony of Mrs. Ellen Holmes, Frank Marron, Dr. Ramsey and Sheriff Hayes, the jury found that Mrs. Chambers was insane, and the court committed her to the insane asylum. Last night Sheriff Hayes left over the Rio Grande, having in charge the afflicted lady, and he will place her in the state asylum. Mrs. Chambers's' sister came up from Glenwood Sunday to take charge of his little child during the absence of the wife and mother. The case is a most deplorable one owing to the fact that the couple have only been married a short time, and that the wife was only 16 years of age at the time of her marriage. It is hoped that she may shortly recover her reason and return to her young child and heart-broken husband.
Chambers, Gertrude
Aspen Tribune - 8-15-1895 - Returned from Pueblo. Sheriff Thomas H. Hayes returned on this morning's Rio Grande from Pueblo, where he had gone having in charge Mrs. William Chambers, who had been adjudged insane in the county court and consigned to the insane asylum a few days ago. Mr. Hayes looked tired and worn as a result of his trip, which was anything but pleasant, owing to the fact that Mrs. Chambers was violently insane, continually raving and almost beyond control. Mr. Hayes was accompanied by Mr. Chambers, husband of the unfortunate woman.

Kit Carson County Record 2-23-1911 Frank Charvata, a young Bohemian living south of Flagler was brought to Burlington by Deputy Sheriff Bodwell last week, charged with wife beating. While confined in the county jail his actions gave evidence of the fact the man was mentally unbalanced. A charge of insanity was filed against him and his trial occurred before County Judge Haynes. Attorney P.B. Godsman represented the state and Attorney Vogt was appointed guardian ad litem. The jury decided that sufficient evidence had been produced to entitle the man to a term at Pueblo. The case was an unusually pathetic one. A little over a year ago, the little two year old son of the Charvata's died as a result of a rattlesnake bite, and since the death of the child the father has repeatedly threatened to kill his wife, whom he insanely blamed for the baby's death. While awaiting transportation to Burlington at Flagler, he attempted to cut his throat with a large knife and succeeded in making a gash in front of the jugular vein. During his confinement in the county jail he attempted to pound his brains out with a hatchet. For these reasons he was considered not a safe person to be at liberty. Charvata is a young man about 28 years of age and prior to the death of his boy he was said to have been a good workman and bore an excellent reputation.

Clark, June 14, but Dr. Thombs' record does not show that they were ever received there. In checking the bills it was found that few of the dates agreed with the prison records as to date of removal of patients, in some cases the difference being as great as two weeks. No bills were in the possession of the committee for transferring Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. Walin. Hart and Clarke appear in the bill as escaped lunatics.

Rocky Mountain News 1-4-1891 Life's Darker Side Very Affecting Scene at the Examination of Lunatics in the County Court A very affecting sight was witnessed in the county court yesterday during the examination into the mental condition of George L. House. The latter, besides being deranged, is in the last stages of consumption and is hardly able to walk. He was led to a seat next to Ellen Christianson, who was waiting to be examined as to her sanity. Her expressionless eyes lighted up when he sat down and assumed a look of the deepest sympathy. She took the poor fellow's cold, stiff fingers in her hands and vainly endeavored to put a little warmth in them. Then she smoothed his thin hair and held his hand until both she and he had been adjudged lunatics and were led away. Immediately after, L. K. Mills, a tall, handsome man, dressed in a neat fitting business suit, was declared to be a lunatic. Mills is a native of Ohio, where he has a wife and grown children. He came to this city about two weeks ago, and in three days spent $300. His insanity is due to excessive drinking. His family were notified of his condition but have failed to do anything for him. He will be sent to the state insane asylum along with the other insane ones. Sadie Schroede was also adjudged insane by a jury in Judge Miller's court yesterday. She is a girl 17 years old, and her disease is due to apopletic fits which have affected her during the past ten years.

Sanders made a hurried trip to Estes Park, early Saturday morning after receiving a call which stated that an insane man was causing some commotion at the village. The officials left Fort Collins about three o'clock Saturday morning. They found upon arrival at the park that the man was Alex Christner, aged 65 years, who was laboring under the hallucination that he was being pursued by a band of Mexicans. He had visited a neighbor's house and used a hammer in beating upon the door, endeavoring to gain entrance. Christner was brought to the county jail for safe-keeping. He has been working as a laborer on the water works system at Estes Park, and resided with another man having no relatives in this vicinity. A son is said to reside out of Denver.

Rocky Mountain News 9-8-1893 Wheels in Their Heads Insane Persons Committed to the Asylum at Pueblo Alfred B. Clark was questioned closely on the witness stand during his trial for lunacy yesterday morning. He appeared fully as sensible as most people until the subjects of electricity and religion were touched upon. Then he became wild. John Gunnison, who was once accused of having killed Martin, who was found dead in Sheridan park, was possessed with constant fear that some one is trying to murder him. Albert Anderson's bump of locality was injured. He believed himself in the immediate vicinity of the Columbian exposition, which he is constantly trying to find. George Wendelin has been insane since receiving a blow in the head some time ago. They were all adjudged insane. J. H. Gabriel, secretary of the state board of charities and corrections, was understood to have stated yesterday that the law required his presence at lunacy trials. An unofficial examination of the statute revealed no such clause.

Sheriff McCartney will leave for Pueblo with her this morning. Her actions Friday were not considered sufficient to warrant arrest, but Sunday evidences of insanity became unmistakable. She left her room some time during the forenoon and first showed up on the ball grounds where she made it decidedly unpleasant for the players. Officers were sent for, but before they arrived she was gone. She crossed the country and went up Junction creek to a distance of about five miles. On the way she denuded a gardner's hot beds of old quilts and clothing used for protection at nights. These she carried for a short distance and threw away. When found she was clad in a thin calico dress, bare-headed and barefooted with exception of one stocking. She made but a slight resistance when captured. Yesterday she seemed calm enough and claimed to be sane, but jury thought otherwise.

Rocky Mountain News 11-2-1896 Amid Scenes of Horror County Hospital Is Crowded With Insane Citizens
Thereby dangles a story a narrative showing how well the county doesn't provide for her wheely citizens, and exemplifying the extra labor and unenviable experience to which the hospital attendants are subjected. The county hospital never was intended for a lunatic asylum. Never was built with the idea that under its walls would be sheltered at one time, a score and a half insane, ranging from the white-haired old lady who is simply off at times, to the wild, destructive maniac in whose diseased brain is moulded only a desire to kick, bite, glare and make a large noise. A reporter for The News took in the whole works yesterday, through the kindness of Dr. Simon, a member of the medical staff
The second floor of the old building contains a miscellaneous assortment of the daft, all women. When the top of the stairs was reached yesterday a good scene for the impressionist was presented
Mrs. Clark, who had just emerged through a doorway, darted down the hall as if shot out of a gun, while Mrs. Murphy, a kindly looking lady whom the doctors say is about as sane as the ordinary woman, stepped forward with a How d'ye do, doctor?
This is a miscellaneous lot, said Dr. Simon. None of them are very troublesome, but a good watch is necessary. You notice each has her peculiarity. We allow them the freedom of the hall and they roam through it all day. We are forced to do this, as the ward is too small to allow them to stretch their limbs within. They flit to and fro often not saying a word to each other for hours. Should they be allowed this liberty? Well, not exactly, but circumstances sometimes alter cases.

Fort Collins Courier 8-10-1923 Ray Clark Will Go To State Hospital Arrangements were made at the Larimer county court Friday, to take Ray Clark to the state hospital for the insane at Pueblo. The young man was placed under observation several weeks ago and while in the county jail attempted to take his own life by bumping his head against a stone wall. He was taken to the county hospital and then given into custody of relatives and he apparently improved physically and mentally but the last few days it is stated that his mind again became affected and the court was asked to pass on the case. The mental trouble of the young man, who is aged about 22 years, is said to be due to too much religious activity.

Steamboat Pilot 1-15-1919 Thomas Clements of Oak Creek was last week adjudged insane by the lunacy commission of Routt county, and committed to the insane hospital at Pueblo. The hearing was held at his own request, as he claimed that he was constantly obsessed by hallucinations, and while seeming rational in the daytime, was beset by queer fancies at night. It is likely that his affection will respond to medical aid.

Clemmens, Nellie
Castle Rock Journal 8-1-1902 Tried to Kill Herself A Denver Woman Attempts to Throw Herself Under a Rio Grande Engine At Castle Rock While suffering from mental aberration, with which her mother was herself afflicted, Mrs. Nellie Clemmens endeavored to kill herself beneath the wheels of a Rio Grande train at Castle Rock Sunday. Only the prompt efforts of the trainmen saved her from a terrible fate. A distressing case of mania is that of Mrs. Clemmens, who was once a brilliant woman of Denver. She was taken back to the city Monday morning by Sheriff Hoffman and in the afternoon was committed by the county court to the insane ward of the county hospital by Dr. John L. Cramb. Mrs. Clemmens tried several sensational methods of taking her life and drive her young son and husband almost to distraction before she could be taken in charge. Her case is a strange one, as she was known for years in this state as a highly trained student and a teacher of unusual merit. Mrs. Clemmens for the past few years has been living with her family at Fairbury, Neb., where her own folks still reside. A year ago she became nervous and was subject to fits of mental aberration. She was brought to Denver by Mr. Clemmens and his 16-year old son. For the past few months they have been living at the St. Nicholas hotel. Mr. Clemmens has been away in the mountains and Saturday night when the young man came in from a walk he was startled to find his mother's room empty. A hurried search followed, but the missing woman was not located and the son spent the night in agony. Mrs. Clemmens' whereabouts during her night rambles are not known, but on Sunday morning she boarded a south-bound Rio Grande passenger train without ticket or baggage. She had gotten as far as Castle Rock when she became violently excited. She rushed to the steps and twice essayed to jump under the wheels and throw her body across the track. The conductor and brakeman saw her and saved her, after a fierce struggle. A doctor was sent for and cared for her until she was taken back to Denver. She was taken to the house of a friend at 2339 Emerson street, where she continued to grow violent. At times, however, she had lucid intervals and talked of her wild ride and attempt to die. She sobbed hysterically and clung to her friends when the officers came to take her away. The husband returned, and he and the son are with friends in the city. Mrs. Clemmens has lived in Colorado Springs, Victor, and on South Fourteenth street, near Twelfth avenue, in Denver. Her insanity is said to be hereditary.

Aspen Weekly Times 8-5-1893 Slightly Deranged Ed A. Clemons to Receive a Course of Treatment in Pueblo A number of friends of Ed. A. Clemons Thursday took steps in the county court to have him sent to the hospital for the insane for treatment. During the past two months his mind has been partially deranged and feeling that he was unsafe in his own care this was considered the better course to be taken with him. Mr. Clemons appreciates his and as his disease is in an early stage he hopes soon to return to Aspen entirely cured. His derangement is rather a sort of melancholia and while he has offered no violence to any person or any property and while his friends here would give him all possible attention, the facilities afforded at the hospital and the advantage of being treated by specialists was apparent to them and he will probably be taken to Pueblo today or tomorrow.
Clemons, Mrs.

They were John Camplin, William Clinton and a boy named Walter G. Harrison. The latter's case was the saddest of all. The little fellow was only 7 years old and it was claimed that the whooping cough was responsible for his condition. He was an idiot and also was otherwise afflicted. William Clinton imagined that he had been sent from above to revolutionize the world. His sorrowing wife sat beside him in court while he gazed vacantly about him. Camplin was also possessed of strange hallucinations. The three unfortunates will be taken to the insane asylum at Pueblo by Deputy Sheriff Golder to-morrow.

Clough, Joseph Cook
Denver Evening Post 8-13-1897 His Identity Joseph C. Clough Says He Is Jack Crawford, 44 Years Old Joseph Cook Clough, 29 years old, who believes himself to be by a wonderful transforming act of God, Jack Crawford, 44 years old, and possessed of divers Denver real estate, including William Barth's Fifteenth street blacksmith shop, was adjudged insane this morning in the county court after having given ample testimony of his mental unbalance. Clough is a brother of John Clough, who has been prominent in the affairs of the defunct Colorado Savings institution and himself is heir to considerable estate, his share being valued at $40,000, if it ever gets out of litigation which Clough has involved it in by his own motions. Clough is a fleshy young man about the age mentioned, but recently his friends have noticed strange actions in his behavior and wonderful hallucinations to the degree that (they are) fearful lest he should do some harm; it has been thought advisable that his sanity be legally passed on and he be taken care of by the state that he may harm no one. Clough behaved very quietly in court while testimony was being taken showing him to be unbalanced. Jeremiah Gould, who is the proprietor of the Narragansett hotel, where Clough has been stopping, testified to the strange actions of Clough, relating that he was wont to call himself Jack Crawford, 44 years old, and that he laid claim to the proprietorship of the Narragansett. Clough's attorney seemed to want to show that the proceedings were the instigation of John Clough, who was contesting his father's will, and so was interested in Joseph's share, but he could not elicit from the witness any knowledge of such a fact; certainly that this brother did not make the complaint against Joseph. He himself made it for the good of Joseph C. Clough. William Miller testified to considerable intimacy with the afflicted man, saying that among other things he had told him that he would become the proprietor of the Cherry Creek and Narragansett hotels as soon as God got control of the world again. He had told him also that he owned William Barth's blacksmith shop on Fifteenth street, near the Platte river. Jacob M. Schultz was another witness who told of the queerness of Clough's doings. He had in all seriousness told him that he had dropped out of the clouds and had schemes in his brain which devised means by which wagons would be propelled by horses pushing them from behind. He used to get up at midnight and sing hymns and while he was connected with the militia it was his wont to get up at night and hold drills all to himself. John Clough also told the jury of his brother's vagaries. From him came the facts relating to Joseph's prospects, saying that at present he had little, but contingently he was worth $40,000; he was with him an equal heir to very large farming properties in Maryland and then there was also property in this state. He said he was contesting the will not against his brother, but against the step-mother. He had noticed, he added, that his brother was beginning to conduct himself very strangely, telling him that the world was only 260 years old and that God would come to his own in 1900; he had declared also that he would put a fourteen-story structure on the site of the Narragansett hotel. I think, he said, that my brother suffers rather from distractions of the mind than from any violent lunacy; he is taking up with delusions which have become fixed in his mind. Joseph C. Clough testified in his own behalf and was the worst witness against himself. On some subjects he talked very rationally, denying that he had spoken the various things testified to, but when it came to the questions of Jack Crawford he displayed incontrovertibly that there was something wrong with him. It is true, he said, that I am John (Joseph?) Clough and am 29 years old, having been born in 1869, but in reality I am Jack Crawford. I am 44 years old and God changed my form in a wonderful manner and dropped me from the clouds. He declared that he could show, were he in Maryland, the exact place where this miracle happened. Other statements of his showed he was also afflicted with religious mania. The jury, after very brief consultation, found him insane and he was placed in the temporary custody of Jeremiah Gould by Judge Steele.
Clough, Joseph Cook
Rocky Mountain News 8-14-1897 Played the Wrong Gig J. C. Clough Favored 40, 14, 4, Instead of 4, 11, 44 With Bad Results James Cook Clough was yesterday adjudged insane in the county court, and was temporarily put in the custody of Jeremiah Gould, proprietor of the Narragansett hotel, on the North Side. The jury had no hesitancy in rendering a verdict, as the testimony of Clough on the stand proved beyond a doubt that something was decidedly wrong. Clough is 29 years of age and the figure 4 apparently runs through his head the entire time. According to some of his testimony on the stand yesterday he was born March 4, 1884. He imagines that he has been converted from a man into a 4-year-old boy, and was dropped from the clouds after the transformation had occurred. One of his delusions is that he imagines that he owns the Narragansett hotel, but not because his father was once the proprietor. His reason was much more unique. After the transition from man to boy had occurred the hotel was given to him from above, and on the side of the building he could see in large golden script, the words This is yours. After that there was no further doubt in his mind as to the ownership of the building. He also saw the numerals 40-14-4 continuously, but their significance was more than he could understand, he explained. He also saw the word yours in fiery letters on some other building in town, but he didn't exactly know whether that was meant for him or not, so he refrained from taking possession. Mr. Gould has been boarding Clough free for a long time and finally applied to the county court in regard to the matter.

Rocky Mountain News 12-8-1897 Was John Clough Murdered? A sensation has been sprung concerning the death of John A. Clough, over whose will there is a contest awaiting decision in the court of appeals. His friends are trying to solve the question, Was he murdered? and there are those who think he was. Among them is his son, John A. Clough, Jr. In support of the theory that he did not die a natural death is the testimony of Joseph A. Holton, a practicing physician of Centreville, Maryland, who attended Clough during his last moments. Dr. Holton boldly asserts that the circumstances surrounding his death plainly show that poison had been administered
The contest over the will was carried on by John A. Clough, Jr. The other contestant, his brother, has been declared insane
(John) Clough was married to his first wife in 1888. Before the marriage a prenuptial agreement was drawn up and sworn to by which the property of the bride, Adelia E. Carle, was to remain intact and controllable only by herself after the marriage, Clough then had about $110,000. He was said to have been easily influenced and often gave such sums as $10,000 to the church when sufficient pressure was brought to bear upon him. He was 69 years of age when he died. His son, John A. Clough, Jr., is now 40 years old. He was once a prominent lawyer in Denver. He is now living with the family of President Gebhardt of the Colorado Packing company. The other son is living in the Gallup block in North Denver

Rocky Mountain News 12-14-1897 Entitled To Jury Trial Will of John A. Clough Remanded to the District Court John A. Clough, Jr., will have another chance to lay claim to the fortune willed by his father to Trinity Methodist church, Denver University and other Methodist institutions
The Clough will has been a matter of contention in the courts for a long period. When John A. Clough died he left an estate valued at about $70,000, which, according to the will, was to go to the Trinity Methodist church and other institutions on the death of Adelia E. Clough. To John A. Clough, Jr., and his brother was left practically nothing. It was asserted by the deceased that his sons were not fit to care for a fortune. John A. Clough, Jr., in behalf of himself and brother, who has become insane, contested the will. He claimed that Clough, Sr., was unduly influenced at the time of making his will and had not such been the case his money would have gone to his rightful heirs instead of the church

Littleton Independent 9-11-1903 A Suicide Charles Cobb, living on a ranch in Jefferson County about six miles west of Littleton committed suicide Thursday morning. Cobb's wife was found wandering about the suburbs of Denver about two months ago and was sent to the Pueblo asylum, after being adjudged insane in the county court here. She had been at Pueblo but a few weeks when she died and her death together with the fact that he was left with six small children, one of whom is but a few months' old, is supposed to have unbalanced Cobb's mind so that he took his own life in a fit of despondency. The sincere sympathy of all is extended the children of the deceased in their sorrow. The funeral will take place Monday morning from the late residence of deceased. The remains will be interred in Littleton cemetery.

Rocky Mountain News 5-2-1885 An Insane Expressman Martin Cody, the man who was adjudged insane by a jury in the County court yesterday, has been quite a noted character in Denver. He ran the first express wagon ever run in Denver, and was popular with all classes of people. When, according to ordinances, expressmen had to take out licenses for running their wagons, Cody was the first man to take out a license, and his wagon for a long while bore No. 1 on its side. For a year or more past Cody's mind has shown evidence of failing, and about six months ago he became dangerous at times and finally had to be confined in the county jail. When the jury found him insane the judge made out a commitment for him to the lunatic asylum at Pueblo.

Carbonate Chronicle 5-6-1889 Jerry Coffey Insane His Wife has a Warrant Issued for His Arrest It will be remembered that about ten days ago Jerry Coffey had his wife arrested on a charge of adultery. When the case came up for trial Mrs. Coffey was discharged, as the charge could not be substantiated. A few days afterwards Coffey was taken sick and his wife attended him. Last Saturday he showed signs of insanity, and his wife sought legal advice. Saturday evening he became dangerous, threatening to kill his wife with a miner's candlestick and tearing her clothing nearly to shreds. The poor woman was almost frightened to death and early Sunday morning appeared at Justice Smith's court and had a warrant issued for her husband's arrest. Constable Jake Barth arrested the man and took him to the county jail. He will be tried on the charge of insanity in the county court on Wednesday.

Rocky Mountain News 7-18-1889 Lines From Leadville Jerry Coffy, who was before the courts recently on charges of breach of the peace and insanity, but subsequently released, this morning became decidedly off at his residence, on Seventh street, and his wife swore out a warrant for his arrest. Policeman Morgan went to serve it at 2:30 this morning, when Coffy, going to the door, shot three times at him, barely missing him at each shot. The policeman fired in self-defense, and finally, with the aid of Alderman McLister and others, who live near burst in the door of the house and arrested Coffy, taking him to the city jail. Coffee is thought to be somewhat deranged. The pistol used was a 41 calibre. Officer John Morgan to-day appeared before Justice Al Lynch and swore out a warrant against Jerry Coffy, charging him with intent to kill. His case will be brought before the grand jury the first time that body meets to transact business.

Rocky Mountain News 3-19-1890 On Trial for Murder Leadville, Colo., March 18 On November 4, 1889, the residents in the Delaware block were startled at hearing two shots in quick succession. The next moment a man was seen stealing down the back stairway. He was followed and caught, proving to be a man named Jerry Coffey. A visit to the scene of the shooting disclosed Mrs. Coffey lying upon the floor, with two bullets in her body. Coffey was arrested, and his wife died two days after the shooting. His case was commenced to-day, and the prosecution finished their side of the argument this evening, and the court then adjourned until to-morrow at 10 o'clock. The testimony as heard to-day greatly criminates the defendant, but his attorney, J. S. Jones, will make the plea of insanity for the defense. The following named parties is the jury in the case: Nicholas Finn, George Douglas, Thom Sheehan, Sam Donnell, D. W. Bailey, F. G. White, W. A. Hughes, J. J. Brown, R. J. Davidson, John Clemons, Dan Tobin and C. T. Hale.

Rocky Mountain News 3-20-1890 The Murder Trial Leadville, Colo., March 19 The second day of the trial of Jerry Coffey, charged with the murder of his wife, has been a most interesting one. The defense continued until to-night giving the testimony, all of which tended to show that Jerry Coffey had been on the verge of insanity for years, and that he had a cousin who was insane and is now in the insane asylum; that with all whom he had been associated, mention was made of his queer manner of acting. Drs. Law, D'Avignon and Bredin were then put on and expert testimony was given. This testimony was paid for, and nearly the entire afternoon was spent hearing the opinions of these physicians, which summed up would be as follows: That, according to the hypothetical question put by the attorney as regarding the insanity of the prisoner when he committed the act, and was taken in consideration as a history of the case for the defense, Jerry Coffey was certainly insane when he shot his wife. This ended the taking of testimony and this evening the arguments were begun.

Rocky Mountain News 3-22-1890 The Coffey Case Found Guilty of Murder in the Second Degree Leadville, Colo., March 21 After deliberating on their verdict for nineteen and a half hours the jury in the Coffey case came to an agreement at 12:30 this morning. After taking their seats in the jury box Judge Goddard asked them if they had arrived at a verdict, and Mr. T. G. White, the foreman, replied that they had, and it was handed to the clerk, who read it as follows: We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of murder in the second degree. On replying in the affirmative to an interrogatory from the court, if this was their verdict, they were discharged. Counsel for the defendant gave notice of a motion for a new trial. On the first ballot the jury stood ten for guilty and two for insanity, and this state of affairs was kept up all night and morning until they agreed on the verdict rendered. The penalty for one convicted of murder in the second degree is ten years or life in the penitentiary, with hard labor. It is optional with the judge, as he can, if he considers the case seriously enough, sentence the prisoner to life imprisonment. When Coffey was brought into court he gave one look at the jury and then resumed the attitude that he had borne all through the trial, with his head bent and eyes cast to the ground. When the verdict was read he did not show the slightest change, and acted in a listless, careless manner, and when Sheriff Ryan took him back to jail he never spoke.

Rocky Mountain News 10-19-1889 Courts and Clients The County Court Will Examine To-Day the Condition of Three Insane Persons The county court will devote its time this afternoon to the examination of three supposed lunatics. One of the unsettled trio is the particularly sad case of a mother with two children, who, it is feared, may be doomed also. Mrs. F. A. Lucas, the person in question, has already two sisters in the state asylum, and her mother had times of violent aberration. The malady is hereditary in the family. The father, John Bacon, a very estimable old gentleman, has spent the last few years of his life caring for his unfortunate family. W. W. Barnet, a carpenter, is affected with the peculiar form of nervous derangement known as festination. At times he is affected with a sudden impulse to hurry away, although apparently with no obvious reason. Once started, it is a difficult thing to bring him up standing, as the curious patient develops remarkable speed. Mrs. Annie Cohen, the third of the queer people, created a sensation about six weeks ago by attempting to drown herself in a six-foot cistern on the North side.

At 11:30 o'clock Mrs. Coleman left her bed and began throwing the furniture about the room. Her husband awoke and attempted to control her. Instead of heeding his words the woman became more violent and began screaming at the top of her voice. The noise aroused Henry P. Spencer, living at 2322 Gilpin Street, and he dressed hastily and ran across the street. When he reached the Coleman house he saw the woman standing at the window yelling as loudly as she could. She cried that her husband was about to murder her and pleaded that she be allowed to leave the house. She then threw books and bric-a-brac at her husband, who escaped to the door. - Into the Street - Suddenly and without warning Mrs. Coleman jumped through the window to the porch The window glass cut her face and hands horribly, but she paid no attention to her injuries. She was barefoot and wore only a single garment. When she jumped through the window Spencer and Coleman picked her up and carried her into the house again. She struggled fiercely, yelling all the time. She had the strength of an Amazon and threw her captors aside as though they were weak children. She picked up everything at hand and both Coleman and Spencer were kept busy dodging the missiles cast at them. The row aroused J. Warner Mills, who lives across the street from the Coleman home. When he arrived he was immediately pressed into service. A man who was passing in a buggy stopped at the house and aided the men inside. Neighbors began to flock to the house and Mrs. Coleman was finally subdued. She seemed to have an hallucination that she was dead and she quoted the twenty-third psalm verbatim, telling her hearers to repeat it over her grave. She accurately quoted other portions of Scripture and prayed with great fervor. Coleman left the house and telephoned for police aid and the second division patrol wagon was sent to the house. Mrs. Coleman was placed in the wagon and taken to the county hospital. The cause of the woman's sudden misfortune is not clearly shown. She is French by birth and was educated in the best schools of her native land. Her mother was maid of honor in the imperial court of Italy. Mrs. Coleman has five children, who have been reared in the best possible manner. Both Coleman and his wife are members of a peculiar sect recently established in this city under the name of Christ Adelphians. The tenets of this sect are not widely known. They are similar, it is said, in many respects to those held by the Swedenborgians. Of late Mrs. Coleman has paid much attention to her religious duties and she attended all the meetings held by the new sect. Her husband attributes her insanity to physical trouble and not to mental distress resulting from religious study.

Denver Evening Post 1-14-1895 Went Suddenly Insane Peculiar Conduct of Mrs. Annie Coleman Much excitement was occasioned Saturday night in the vicinity of Twenty-fourth and Gilpin streets by the insane conduct of Mrs. Annie Coleman. Late in the night the unfortunate woman suddenly left her bed and began demolishing the furniture. The noise awakened her husband, who was wholly unable to control her and Mrs. Coleman speedily escaped from the block. Mrs. Coleman suddenly jumped through a window, receiving terrible cuts on her person, which she heeded not. She resented being rescued and violently resisted all attempts to compose her. Mrs. Coleman's condition became so serious that she was finally conveyed to the county hospital. The woman's sudden insanity is attributable to physical suffering and perhaps mental distress occasioned by religious devotion.

A. Buchanan, a Union soldier, who died in the state insane asylum in this city. Mr. Le Bert says that he has been unable to find that Kitty Collins was a resident of Arapahoe county, and in relation to Buchanan the county commissioners will not allow the bill, which is for $50, until his discharge papers from the army are forwarded. In a late ruling Attorney General Carr has set forth that the county from which the insane person came was responsible for the expenses of burial.

Aspen Democrat 4-23-1919 Colorado Springs April 23 - Jack Parker of Pueblo, today positively identified the two Combs boys who murdered Jacob Mellinger in Rush, Monday night as the two men he saw on the Rye road immediately following the murder of E.C. Parks and William Hunter two weeks ago. Despite the denial of the Combs boys that they have not been near Pueblo recently, Jacob Combs, father of Thomas Combs, admitted the two boys borrowed a team of mules two weeks ago to go to Pueblo. The team was recovered in a Colorado Springs corral. The elder Combs went temporarily insane at the inquest. He seized a revolver and tried to shoot Deputy Sheriff Gilbert but was overpowered and handcuffed.

Carbonate Chronicle 2-2-1920 Insane Men Prisoners Governor Shoup's Lunacy Commission Finds 26 Inmates of Canon Crazy Ten of Them Serving Terms for Murder Denver, Jan. 31. Twenty-six inmates of the Colorado penitentiary were today declared insane in a report submitted to Governor Shoup by a special lunacy commission recently appointed by him. All but ten of the inmates adjudged insane are serving terms for murder. Among the twenty-eight adjudged insane are James Bulger, Denver soldier of fortune, who on the night of May 6, 1914, killed L. F. Nicodemus, then one of the proprietors of a local hotel, and Oren Slinde, a youth of 20 years, who slew his father and a hired man in a double murder on a farm seventeen miles northwest of Boulder on September 11, 1919. Besides Bulger and Slinde, those convicted of murder who were adjudged insane are: Robert Buchanan, Frank Cantania, John Deitz, Felix Belfino, Lauro Garcia, Robert Hunt, M. Milobar, George Novac, Arthur Norman, James Oldham, J. C. Stewart, Louis Seeley, Al Scott and P. C. Talbot. The others and the crimes for which they were sentenced are: B. A. Comstock, burglary; R. C. Davis, assault to kill; S. H. Shrader, burglary and larceny; G. Schneider, assault to rob; John East, burglary and larceny; J. Smelkert, obstruction of railroad property; Rose Chali, statutory offense; S. Gonzales, indecent liberties; and J. C. Messing, statutory offense. Forty-three inmates were examined by the commission. A competent medical determination of the mental condition of persons committed to the state prison whose sanity appeared doubtful was asked some weeks ago by Warden Thomas J. Tynan. The commission appointed consisted of Dr. Edward Delehanty of Denver; Dr. Howell T. Pershing, of Denver, and Dr. C. W. Thompson, of Pueblo. Governor Shoup recently wrote to all district attorneys in Colorado requesting that great care be exercised in determining whether persons convicted of high crimes were mentally sound. The persons adjudged insane will be at once removed to the state hospital for the insane, according to the authorities

Condon, Martin Mrs.
Eagle Valley Enterprise 7-3-1903 Husband Dead by Lightning, Wife Insane, Boy Badly Hurt Leadville, Colo., June 20. Martin must be working a long shift. Why don't he come back to me? Moaning and wringing her hands, these words were uttered over and over again by Mrs. Martin Condon as she was being prepared last evening for a journey to Pueblo, where she will be placed in a private sanitarium, her mind having become a blank as the result, partially, at least, of the recent shock caused by the death of her husband, and which shock quickly undid the good accomplished by her sojourn at this sanitarium for several years. It was another chapter of the sensational incidents that have been crowding themselves upon one another this afternoon, and which are to add themselves to the killing of Martin Condon, superintendent of the Penn mine, which took place ten days ago to-day. The killing of Martin Condon by lightning on the 20th inst., the final giving away of the mind of his wife last evening, the accidental blowing up of their eldest son shortly before 5 o'clock, the discovery of a small fortune hidden in the stable in the rear of their house, form the basis of ten days of most sensational incidents in the life of this well-known Leadville family. A week ago Saturday last Martin Condon, superintendent of the Penn mine, left home as usual and went to the mine. He was walking from one shaft to the other when a bolt of lightning struck him dead. Condon was one of the best known mining superintendents in the camp and there was general regret over his sudden death. At his home, however, where a wife and three children awaited him, the blow came hardest. It was but two weeks before that Mr. Condon had obtained a permit from the county judge of this county to allow him to bring his wife back to Leadville, she having been confined for some time in a private sanitarium in Pueblo. Now that her reason was restored and being apparently well, Martin Condon wanted her home again with himself and her three children. When death came so suddenly to the husband it was not deemed advisable by the physicians to tell the wife immediately of what had happened, but when at night Condon had not returned and she saw the white faces and heard the whisperings of those about her, the woman appeared to know that something was wrong. After the accident the news was broken to her as gently as possible, but she received it in a dazed condition and the shock seemed to undo all the good the physicians had done in restoring her reason. It was thought that she might recover and she has been kept closely confined and the best of care given her since his death. Mrs. Condon, however, grew rapidly worse and yesterday afternoon she became so violent that it was necessary to call the officers and remove her to Pueblo last night. But the troubles of the family did not end here. Shortly before 5 o'clock screams were heard from the barn and an investigation found Harold, the eight-year-old son of the Condons, lying in an unconscious condition on the ground, with both of his hands in a badly mangled condition. Surgeons were called and it was some time before the lad was restored to consciousness. Then it was found that he had been playing with a box of dynamite caps which he had found in the stable. He held the box in his hand and set fire to one of the cartridges with a match. The giant cap exploded and fired the rest of the box and he was hurled some distance. He held the box in his hand when the explosion occurred and both hands were badly mangled. The thumb and fore-finger of the left hand were blown off, but outside the damage of his hands, the boy was unhurt. Probably the most sensational incident in connection with the Condons came to light last evening, when, while preparing Mrs. Condon for her trip to Pueblo, and caring for the little injured boy, Mrs. Mary Coll, mother of Mrs. Condon, told the officers and doctors of a most remarkable find of money hidden both in the house and in the barn and which, in connection with $3,000 found in the bank, and which Mr. Condon had said nothing about, makes between $9,000 and $10,000 to be placed to the credit of the family.

Durango Democrat June 30, 1903 Leadville Family's Strange Series Of Mishaps. Since Martin Condon Was Killed Family Has Suffered Queerly. Found Hidden Treasure. After Wife Had Been Taken to Asylum Search of Premises Disclosed a Fortune That Had Been Hidden Away. Leadville, June 29 On June 20, Martin Condon the superintendent of the Penn Mining company, which controls one of the richest gold mines in this district, was struck by lightning and instantly killed. This morning his son had his hand blown off while playing with a giant cap. A few hours later, Mrs. Condon, who has been mentally deranged since the accident to her husband, was adjudged insane and sent to the Pueblo asylum. Shortly after the court had made the order, Mrs. Coll, the mother of Mrs. Condon returned to the Condon house and while searching through the stable discovered a safe buried beneath a pile of rubbish in which $3,000 in gold was concealed. Further search revealed $2,000 more hidden in cans and pots about the premises.

Carbonate Chronicle 1-20-1913 Conley Escapes Again For the second time within two days Jim Conley, the ward who has been either delirious or insane since his admittance to the county jail last Thursday escaped from the county hospital yesterday morning, and made his a_____ way as far as the Yak mill, over a mile from the city, before the police and sheriff overtook him. He was brought back to the city and locked in the county jail for safe keeping until an examination of his sanity can be made. When the men from the sheriff's office and police headquarters found him yesterday, Conley's right hand was badly lacerated as if it had been cut by broken glass, and he was becoming rapidly blue with the cold. If the search party had not caught him at the moment they did, Conley would probably have frozen to death. He declared that he ___ ____ ____ ____ ____ to get work cooking. One of the other inmates of the county hospital told the police that Conley said on the night of his arrival there that he had taken an overdose of snow, it being known that snow is the slang term for cocaine; but the police scout (state?) that as a cause for his insanity, since he gave no evidence of being a victim of the drug habit.

Aspen Weekly Times 10-24-1896 Must Be Goldbugs Denver Is Being Overrun With Insane People Denver, Oct. 21. Both last evening and this morning the police were kept busy with several extraordinary insanity cases in this city. Last evening Charles Conlon shot Miss Emma Plunkett and her brother William Plunkett at a boarding house on Lawrence street. There was no reason for the shooting except that the man suddenly went insane. He escaped and has not since been captured. Both of the wounded people will recover. This morning Mrs. Maud Virginia Richmond, 24 years of age, an expert circus bareback rider and trapeze performer, arrived in Denver, looking for her 11-year-old daughter. Shortly afterwards the lady while at the depot was seized with a form of epileptic insanity. The police were called but Mrs. Richmond led them a wild chase for a mile before she was captured. She imagines herself a circus horse. Mrs. Richmond was born in Denver and two years ago lost her husband while both were attached to a circus. Since that time she has had fits of insanity. Later in the morning Edward Hoften of San Francisco was arrested in North Denver a raving maniac and it took six officers to get him to the police headquarters. Hoften was on his way from San Francisco to New York and stopped off in Denver. His mania is that he is being pursued by a railroad engine full of wild men. He appears to be a man in comfortable circumstances and his friends in San Francisco have been wired.
Conlon, Charles
Denver Evening Post 10-21-1896 The Victims of Conlon Emma Plunkett May Recover From Her Wounds While temporarily deranged early last evening, Charles Conlon, a man of 50, naturally morose, created an intense sensation at the boarding house of Mrs. Stafford Plunkett, 1343 Lawrence street, and made a cruel attempt at wholesale murder. As a result of his homicidal mania Miss Emma Plunkett, a girl of 21, is lying in a critical condition and her brother William H., is nursing a painful flesh wound. Conlon escaped immediately after the shooting, and hatless and coatless ran west on Lawrence street and crossing the bridge was lost in the gloom. Although a posse of officers hunted for him all night and are still pursuing the search, Conlon has escaped arrest and is still at liberty. It is not improbable that when found he will be beyond the pale of the law, as his friends anticipate that he will kill himself. Conlon, who is an employe of the Tramway company, has boarded with Mrs. Plunkett for the past three years. Always reticent, nothing was thought when he entered the dining room in an aggravated mood but none divined the murderous break which was so quickly made. After receiving a cup of tea from Miss Plunkett, Conlon suddenly drew a gun and began shooting promiscuously. One bullet imbedded itself in the right thigh of young William Plunkett, who was reading in the kitchen. Holding the revolver so close to Miss Plunkett that her dress was fired by the flash, Conlon shot her. The bullet entered the left side and passing through the right lung emerged. Burning and bleeding profusely, the young woman fled in terror to the rear yard where she was protected by friends. After shooting twice at random, Conlon pursued Miss Belle Plunkett upstairs, but she eluded him, and, escaping, notified the police. Foiled in his murderous designs, Conlon ran into the street and escaped. Miss Plunkett endured the pain occasioned by her wound wonderfully well, and retained consciousness while Police Surgeon Mack attended. He at once divined the serious nature of her injury and informed her anxious parents. Later a spiritual adviser was summoned and the stricken woman was anointed and prepared for death. As the hours progressed, however, Miss Plunkett rallied perceptibly. This morning a slight improvement was noticeable. Her physician entertains hopes of her recovery. Her brother's recovery is simply a matter of time. Seven mounted men are in pursuit of Miss Plunkett's attempted murderer. Five have been detailed to scour the lowlands lying between the Platte river and Cherry creek. Two others are patrolling the country between Sullivan and Elizabeth, Colo. At 11 o'clock last night the police were notified that a man closely resembling the description of Conlon had been seen acting in a most eccentric manner near Sullivan. Two men were promptly detained to follow the clue. Conlon's crime can only be accounted for on the theory of sudden insanity. He had never shown any but respectful attention to the young lady he so cruelly shot, whom all speak most highly of. Her relations with the fugitive were merely common place, but no angry words had ever passed between them.

Rocky Mountain News 10-23-1896 Denver Has Gone Daft May Have Been Engendered by the Recent Carnival The little drop catches which clog the wheels in people's heads are getting badly worn of late, and there is, in several cases, or rather heads, a buzzing, whirring sound caused by their slipping a handful of cogs at once. The effect is rather unfortunate, as the afflicted ones are gradually coming to the notice of the police. Additional beds will have to be placed in the insane ward at the county hospital to accommodate the wheely individuals if the present importation of victims continues. No less than ten unfortunates have been lassoed during the week, suffering with dementia in some form or other. Several are of the whooping kind, who go about the streets with their arms fanning the atmosphere like a windmill in a tornado. Others simply mope and refuse to even solve the currency question. The latter are generally the worst to contend with. No Plausible Explanation
While it has not been conclusively proven, yet the general supposition is that Charles Conlan was quite a bit off when he shot Miss Emma Plunkett and her brother, Will, Tuesday night.

Denver Daily Tribune 2-12-1879 Tried To Hang Himself The police, as stated by the Tribune yesterday, took into custody Monday a man who gives the name of James H. Conners, evidently quite insane. He claims to be from Baltimore, and says his brothers have robbed him and now seek his life. Since his arrest the lunatic has been confined in a cell at the calaboose. Yesterday morning in making the rounds, the Jailer discovered that Conners had undertaken to hang himself. The fellow had taken his blanket from his couch and, tearing it into strips, made a rope with a noose in one end. This fastened around his neck and the other end of the rope tied to an upper grating, had been the means whereby his own life was sought. The blanket was old, however, and it broke, the man evidently having made several attempts to hang himself with this result. He will be watched carefully hereafter.

Phelps, of the county court, dressed in miners' apparel, and with tears in his eyes told a sad tale about the cruel behavior of his son. It will be remembered that some few years ago, the indignation of the community was aroused against one who sacrilegiously entered the Church of the Annunciation and defaced several of the figures in the edifice. Some time afterwards the man was arrested but was given his liberty as he was considered light of head. His name is Stephen Conroy. It was the father of this man who entered the county court room yesterday and told the judge that he wanted a warrant issued for the arrest of his son as he considered him unsafe to live with, and that he also considered him insane. He said that he had kept his son and the different scrapes that he had got into had cost him over a thousand dollars to clear him. That he had several times been beaten by his son, and yesterday Stephen had threatened to kill him with an ax. In struggling with him to save his life, the thumb on the left hand was dislocated, and his right shoulder bruised. The son had also hit the poor old man over the head with a chair. Judge Phelps issued the warrant, which was served by Under Sheriff Loomis and young Conroy was placed behind bars. His case will be called in the county court this morning at 10 o'clock, when he will be examined by competent physicians and the jury will determine whether he will go to Pueblo. The father stated that at times he was perfectly rational, at others he was the opposite. When in the latter state no one could do anything with him.

Leadville Herald Democrat 4-7-1892 Fight With a Maniac Crazed From Injuries Received, Peter Constain Makes Things Lively Peter Constain, aged 45 years, a French-Canadian woodchopper, employed at Tennessee park, fell, on Tuesday, injuring the small of his back. He was brought to this city, and taken to the county hospital. Dr. Crook was called to dress his injuries. Early yesterday morning Constain became crazy from the effects of the injuries received, and created a sensation in the hospital ward. Jumping out of bed, he uttered several alarming shrieks that brought Keeper Teller to the spot. Teller tried to pacify the man, but was unable to do anything with him. Constain, who is a large, powerfully built man, fought Teller with the fury of a maniac, and was getting the best of it, when Teller called for help. It took the combined strength of three men to finally overcome Constain. He seemed to be pacified, and remained motionless when deposited in bed. Thinking everything was all right, Teller left him, and went into another room. He was no sooner out of sight when Constain jumped out of bed, and screaming at the top of his voice, rushed out of the room, opened the door and escaped into the yard. Teller rushed out into the yard and caught the man just as he was endeavoring to get over the fence. A fierce struggle ensued, in which Constain was overcome and taken back to the hospital. He was laid in bed and a watch placed over him until daylight, when he was taken to the county jail and locked up for safe keeping. Yesterday morning Dr. Crook was sent for, and upon examination found that the man was undoubtedly insane. Complaint was made to Probate Judge Hall, who will have an examination this morning to determine whether he is insane or not. Just what to do with the man if he is declared insane the county officials are puzzled, as the asylum at Pueblo is overcrowded and he can not be sent there. It is not known whether Constain has any relatives or not.

Carbonate Chronicle 2-2-1920 Insane Men Prisoners Governor Shoup's Lunacy Commission Finds 26 Inmates of Canon Crazy Ten of Them Serving Terms for Murder Denver, Jan. 31. Twenty-six inmates of the Colorado penitentiary were today declared insane in a report submitted to Governor Shoup by a special lunacy commission recently appointed by him. All but ten of the inmates adjudged insane are serving terms for murder. Among the twenty-eight adjudged insane are James Bulger, Denver soldier of fortune, who on the night of May 6, 1914, killed L. F. Nicodemus, then one of the proprietors of a local hotel, and Oren Slinde, a youth of 20 years, who slew his father and a hired man in a double murder on a farm seventeen miles northwest of Boulder on September 11, 1919. Besides Bulger and Slinde, those convicted of murder who were adjudged insane are: Robert Buchanan, Frank Cantania, John Deitz, Felix Belfino, Lauro Garcia, Robert Hunt, M. Milobar, George Novac, Arthur Norman, James Oldham, J. C. Stewart, Louis Seeley, Al Scott and P. C. Talbot. The others and the crimes for which they were sentenced are: B. A. Comstock, burglary; R. C. Davis, assault to kill; S. H. Shrader, burglary and larceny; G. Schneider, assault to rob; John East, burglary and larceny; J. Smelkert, obstruction of railroad property; Rose Chali, statutory offense; S. Gonzales, indecent liberties; and J. C. Messing, statutory offense. Forty-three inmates were examined by the commission. A competent medical determination of the mental condition of persons committed to the state prison whose sanity appeared doubtful was asked some weeks ago by Warden Thomas J. Tynan. The commission appointed consisted of Dr. Edward Delehanty of Denver; Dr. Howell T. Pershing, of Denver, and Dr. C. W. Thompson, of Pueblo. Governor Shoup recently wrote to all district attorneys in Colorado requesting that great care be exercised in determining whether persons convicted of high crimes were mentally sound. The persons adjudged insane will be at once removed to the state hospital for the insane, according to the authorities.

Carbonate Chronicle 10-27-1913 Denver, Oct. 26. Former Congressman George W. Cook, who was taken into custody Saturday after terrorizing the guests at a fashionable hotel by trying to force an entrance into his own apartments with a hammer, is in the insane ward of the county hospital today. He will be detained until his condition improves, or until his relatives decide to remove him to some other place. Friends of General George W. Cook are alarmed at the condition of his health since his recent return from a busy tour of the East. They are uneasy for his welfare because of the restless state of mind which led General Cook into some unpleasant experiences in the last few days. General Cook, who for many years has devoted a large part of his time to public and semi-public work, returned to Denver last Wednesday night from the G. A. R. encampment at Chattanooga, after a long visit to New York city and other eastern points. On going to the railroad station the next morning to arrange for the removal of his baggage, he engaged in an altercation with an attendant after being informed that several dollars had been charged against his baggage because of excess weight. He claimed to have paid the amount in Chicago. The veteran was already worried by business cares. In his unsettled state of mind the dispute proved disquieting and he lost control of himself. Later he returned with a shotgun and made threats. His eccentric behavior led a police officer to arrest him and he was turned over to the care of Chief of Police O'Neill. After a rest and a talk with Chief O'Neill, General Cook was permitted to return to his hotel. Again he gave way to the nervous tension which has affected him, and created alarm among the guests of the Shirley hotel. Unable to enter his own room, and irritated because he could not find his key, General Cook tried to force the door. Intent on breaking into the room, he obtained a hammer and hatchet with which to accomplish that purpose. The night clerk sighted the tools and fearing they were intended as weapons, a cry was raised. To relieve the fears of other guests, the management notified Chief O'Neill, and General Cook was again put in his care, remaining over night in a room at the city jail. Despite the robust constitution which has been the boast of General Cook, he is said to be in a serious condition. He will be given the best of attention, say his many friends, who have interested themselves in him because of the nervous breakdown he has suffered. General Cook is one of Colorado's famous characters. His friends are legion all over the state, and trips he has taken with the Cook drum corps have made him known not only in Colorado, but in most of the states of the union.

Leadville Carbonate Chronicle 12-18-1916 - General G. W. Cook Dying General George Washington Cook of Denver, famous Colorado pioneer, is dying in the State asylum at Pueblo, according to dispatches received here yesterday. He is not expected to live through the day. General Cook took an important part in the upbuilding of the Rocky Mountain region. He came to Colorado in 1881 as superintendent of the mountain division of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, and made Leadville his headquarters. He led in the development of this mining camp and the surrounding region, and was elected mayor of Leadville in 1885. He made and lost several fortunes thru investments in mining. General Cook served as congressman-at-large from Colorado, was commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. and founded Cook's drum corps, which became known throughout the nation and has done much to advertise Colorado. Three years ago General Cook's mind gave way and he was taken to the state asylum. His wife went to Pueblo to be near him. A son, George Washington Cook, Jr., lives in Denver.

Leadville Carbonate Chronicle 12-25-1916 Last Call to Gen. Cook Noted Pioneer Railroad Man, Politician and Founder of Famous Drum Corps Dies in Pueblo Mayor of Leadville Pueblo, Dec. 17. Following a two years' illness during which time he had been confined to the Colorado State hospital here General George W. Cook, former congressman-at-large from Colorado, pioneer business man and prominent in political circles of the state, died here this afternoon. His death had been expected for several days. His wife and son were constantly at his bedside during the last few days. General Cook was the founder of the Cook drum corps of Denver which had a reputation for excellency throughout the United States. He was born in Bedford, Ind., in 1851 and his father was an officer in the Union army in the civil war. When 11 years old he ran away from home and joined the Union forces as a drummer boy, serving until the end of the war. After the war he entered the railroad business and was so successful in the east that he was summoned to Colorado to take division superintendency of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad with offices in Leadville. He later moved to Denver and in 1907 was elected congressman-at-large. Two years later he was chosen senior vice-commander of the G. A. R. and came very close to being elected national commander-in-chief. His later years were spent chiefly in financing and making famous Cook's drum corps. What resident of Leadville who has been here ten years or more does not know of General George W. Cook! Former railroad man of the city, mayor of Leadville, one of the first mining men of the state to engage in manganese mining in the district, organizer of Cook's famous drum corps, sponsor for dozens of public-spirited movements which benefited Leadville. General Cook was known by the entire west and residents of Leadville considered him one of the Cloud City's foremost leaders. Characteristic of the type of the vigorous old pioneer's actions was his last semi-public performance in Leadville. Early in 1912 he returned from California with the famous Cook's drum corps, which had been in attendance at the national G. A. R. encampment. He had promised Leadville people he would stop with the corps here and give a concert. The trains were late. The passenger bearing the drum corps, always a veritable brass band with a big drum section since the earliest days, was hours behind schedule. It did not reach Leadville until about three in the morning. But General Cook kept his promise. The musicians climbed out of their Pullmans, fell in line and struck up briskly with martial airs. They astounded sleeping Leadville which slept only a moment or two after the drum corps started the parade. The band marched up and down Harrison avenue, serenaded the Herald Democrat office and then marched in front of the opera house, finally leaving the town with a sure reminder that its former most prominent citizen was still alive and actively alert to the interests of his old stamping ground. George Washington Cook was born in Bedford, Ind., November 10, 1851. His father was Lieutenant Samuel Cook of the Union army; his mother, Agnes Dodson Cook was the daughter of an ensign in the United States navy. When only 11 years old he learned telegraphy and ran away from home and enlisted as a drummer boy with the army of the Cumberland, serving with several Indiana regiments. Later he became a regimental clerk of an Indiana volunteer regiment, and at the close of the war was with Sherman on the march thru Georgia. After the war the lad went home and finished his education. He married quite young and in 1872 entered the service of the _____ railroad system in Chicago. His success was so marked that the management of the Denver and Rio Grande system, which was having apparently insurmountable difficulty in keeping open its mountain division in winter, brot Cook west and established him as division superintendent, with an office in Leadville. It was here, in a growing country, that George W. Cook developed those remarkable qualities of leadership of men that made him famous, respected and loved. This mountain division of the D. & R. G. was the first railroad that really penetrated the Rocky mountains, the Union Pacific having skirted the bases for the most part. Floods, snowstorms, avalanches, electric storms and bandits played constant havoc with the service. But none of these things was a match for the ability of George Cook, and in short order he had his trains running like clockwork. In 1885 Superintendent Cook became mayor of Leadville. He was re-elected. A third term was offered him by acclamation, but he declined. After going to Denver to live, General Cook ran for congress on the Republican ticket and was elected in 1907. Two years earlier he was chosen senior vice commander of the G. A. R., and came very near being elected national commander-in-chief. His later years were devoted chiefly to financing and making famous Cook's drum corps. In October, 1913, the general's mind gave way. He was arrested for threatening the life of a baggage clerk at the Union station with a shotgun. Two days later he was again arrested for threatening the lives of residents of the Shirley hotel, where he lived, with a hatchet. Later he was taken to the asylum at Pueblo. In the spring of 1884 (?) General Cook lead a spectacular rescue expedition to the Homestake mine northwest of Leadville where Albert Morrison, Jack Carroll and a small band of other miners had been trapped in their mine cabin by a snowslide. News of their probable end developed in Leadville as the result of their delay in calling for mail. General Cook was instrumental in organizing a party of fifty men who started out on snowshoes with equipment to dig the men out. As agent for the D. and R. G. railroad, General Cook commandeered an engine and cars which ran as near to the mine as possible and brot the rescued bodies to Leadville. When the funeral procession of the miners passed the cemetery a few days later, attended by a mammoth turnout and led by a brass band, it reached the railroad tracks just as the fastest express of the line bearing officials of the railroad was coming up the grade to Leadville. General Cook rushed from the procession and brot the train to a halt.

Cook was in a terrible shape from his spree here and was sent home by county officials. It was but a short time later that he was adjudged insane and sent to the asylum. Montrose authorities are now looking into what property he left when he returned home. It is said he had a part of a beef here which he was trying to sell, and also a team and wagon.
Cook, Mattie
Aspen Weekly Times 9-3-1892 Mrs. Blondin's Story As in all cases of family troubles, there seems to be two sides to the story of poor Mattie Cook, who was Thursday taken to the hospital for the insane at Pueblo. A reporter was this morning called to the house of a Mrs. Blondin, who is a sister of the unfortunate woman, and who gives her version of the affair, which, if true, does not reflect any credit upon Cook, the husband of Mattie. Mrs. Blondin claims that while Mattie was greatly depressed over the death of her son, that the real cause for her dementia was a blow received from a cane in the hands of her husband when he was in a drunken condition. She says that Dr. Ashbaugh dressed the wound. The doctor was seen and remembers dressing the wound, but is not now positive what caused it. He thinks that the partial dementia from which the woman was suffering was caused by grief over the loss of her son, but was of the opinion that it could have been cured had it not been for the innate cussedness with which the woman was surrounded. Mrs. Blondin also claims that the Cooks boarded with her and that Mattie was kept most of the time in a darkened room when there was no occasion for it, as she was utterly harmless, and that all the clothes she has had for three years were what she, Mrs Blondin, herself had purchased for her, and that Cook had always refused to allow her to have medical attendance or to pay for the same. She says that there was never a hatchet or knife found under the pillow, and that the only reference ever made to either by Mattie was when she begged for a knife with which to cut her own throat when she thought she was becoming a burden on her husband. Mrs. Blondin's grief is uncontrollable over the fate of her beloved sister and her only surviving relative. Mrs. Blondin and her husband both claim that there is a valuable piece of property in Missouri which has been the cause of much trouble between the two, and which Mrs. Cook was forced to deed to her husband years ago, and which he in turn turned over to a brother.

Aspen Daily Leader 9-1-1892 In The County Court -
A pitiful scene was witnessed in the county court yesterday afternoon. It was the trial of Mattie Cook on a charge of insanity. The woman is the wife of A. Cook, a miner. Three or four years ago a son, whom she idolized, died and since then she has been possessed of a dreadful maniacal hallucination. She declared that it was her duty to kill both herself and husband. She has been growing worse for several months, and it finally became necessary to apply to the court for an order of incarceration in the insane asylum at Pueblo. Mr. Cook, the husband of the woman, and two doctors, testified against her. R. A. Cameron was the prosecuting attorney. The trial was before a jury, who returned a verdict of insanity. She will be taken to Pueblo to-day.

Telluride Daily Journal 6-1-1912 Trying Insanity Up in Denver they are now trying to prove that Oscar Cook was insane when he killed Patrolman McPherson in a Valverde saloon some months ago. Some people claim that when Cook fell down an upraise in the Liberty Bell mine that the fall affected his head, but Dr. Hadley, of this city, in a communication stated that Cook suffered no injuries that would tend to affect his mind. Another point that is being brought out is the fact that several members of the Cook family are insane and that he is suffering with insanity through heredity.

Rocky Mountain News 9-27-1894 Wheels Got Loose Police Surgeons Have a Lively Time With Dangerous Lunatics Three Murderous Maniacs at Large on the Same Day One California Crank Called Upon Officer Mosher to Assist Him in Dispatching His Third Victim Another Tears His Clothing Into Strips and Threatens Suicide, While a Crazy Cook Was Sent to the Hospital for Treatment Three insane men and half a dozen accidents were attended to by Police Surgeon Wheeler yesterday. The feature of these cases was that of Sam Cook of San Francisco who was brought to the station about 8:30 o'clock last night. Cook is insane and told the wildest stories imaginable to the officers who took him in charge. Officer Mosher was standing at Fifteenth and Lawrence streets when Cook approached him. I want to find that other man and kill him, too, was the startling statement with which he addressed the officer. Come with me and help me find him, continued Cook. The officer examined the stranger closely. Cook was well dressed and of a very respectable appearance. He looked to be 45 years old and his hair and mustache are slightly gray. Mosher questioned the man and in a few moments was convinced that the stranger was a lunatic. Cook's story as told to the officer was that he left San Francisco yesterday in a balloon with three other men. They landed in a park just outside Denver and when they stepped off the balloon the three companions of Cook set upon him and robbed him of $500. After a severe struggle, Cook said he succeeded in killing two of the men and was still looking for the other. It was with great difficulty that Cook was persuaded to give his name. He finally wrote it out on a piece of paper. He was taken to jail by Mosher and offered no resistance. He was placed in a cell and spent the night in tearing his clothes into strips which he tied to the iron grating of the cell. About 11 o'clock he began yelling and his cries could be heard all over the building

Rocky Mountain News 10-13-1894 Trip in the Airship Belief of Samuel Cook, an Arrival from San Francisco Samuel Cook insisted that his case should be disposed of immediately by Judge Le Fevre in the county court yesterday, as he had other important business to attend to. It appears from Cook's statement that he had made the trip from San Francisco to Denver in four hours in an air ship, and that the aerial vessel has continued on its course eastward, leaving Cook stranded in Denver. He said that he was wanted in California for murdering two men, and unless he got away, the airship would take him up on its return trip and the result of all the delay over the trumped-up charge of lunacy would be that he would be hung. The jury found Cook was insane and there was a similar verdict in the case of Peter Latzerer. Both were ordered taken to the asylum at Pueblo.

W. Corser, Richard Dillon, Charles Price, J. J. Smith, J. J. Page and John Alred. Judge Hall appointed J. W. Easton attorney for Cooney, and the party proceeded in a wagon to the hospital, when the following witnesses were examined: Dr. D'Avignon, James Naylor, John Jorden, Michael Golden and Mrs. Annie Fahey. After the evidence had been heard the court adjourned, to meet at the county court, and the jury found that Cooney is a person so insane and distracted in his mind as to endanger his own person, and the person and property of others, if allowed to go at large.

Cooper's latest escapade was staged in Williams canon a couple of days ago when he rolled a number of boulders down the mountain. The roadway was blocked and it required the work of several men and teams to clear the highway. Cooper has figured in a number of similar stunts in and around Colorado Springs within the last year. An effort will be made to have him returned to the asylum.

He was brought into town by the Sheriff and tried in Judge Scnarnhorst's court and adjudged insane and was sent to the asylum at Pueblo. Mr. Cordell was one of the most promising young men of this section, and well fixed in a financial way for a man of his age, and has a host of friends who sympathise with him and hope that the return of his health will restore his mental powers to him.

Leadville Herald Democrat 6-29-1893 Ran the Town A Lunatic With a Winchester Makes Things Lively at Twin Lakes Early yesterday morning, a telephone message was received at Tompkins hardware store, asking that the sheriff and a posse be sent at once to Twin lakes to take charge of a man named Waldron Cornelius, whose mental faculties had suddenly become unbalanced, and who was creating a great rumpus in the neighborhood of his home. No further particulars were given at the time, but shortly afterwards when Under Sheriff Dunn and other officers were about ready to start for the scene of the disturbance, a second summons was received, bidding the officers to make haste as the lunatic had escaped to the mountains, and fears were entertained that he might, in his irresponsible condition, lose himself, or probably commit self-destruction. It was then learned that Cornelius was a resident of Twin Lakes and had a number of relatives also residing at that place. He had suddenly become imbued with the idea that it was his duty to slay all his friends, or whomsoever might happen to pass that way, and with that end in view he procured a Winchester rifle and a Colt's revolver, with which he went forth in search of gore. His friends, however, having become aware of his intentions, had made themselves exceedingly scarce, and for a time the crazy man was allowed to rule the city; in fact, he was monarch of all he surveyed. Any unfortunate individual who happened to show himself was quickly put to flight by the startling sensation of having a rifle barrel aimed at his head. This state of affairs continued for some time, until finally the lunatic appeared to tire of his game, and then started for the hills, with no ultimate end in view. He was followed for a considerable distance by friends, but eventually succeeded in eluding his pursuers. A posse was engaged all afternoon in scouring the hills, but no trace of the missing man had been found up to a late hour in the evening. Under Sheriff Dunn, upon learning of Cornelius' escape, concluded that he and his assistants would be of little service to the search party, being unacquainted with the ground in that city, and accordingly requested the pursuers to inform him immediately of any new developments.

Leadville Herald Democrat 6-30-1893 Recovered From Insanity Capture of Walter Cornelius, the Man Who Gave Twin Lakes People a Scare Walter Cornelius, the man whom the people of Twin Lakes were excited over Wednesday on account of his mental condition, was found that evening within a half mile of the residence of his brother, Dr. J. O. Cornelius, of Four-Mile park, by a party scouring the hills in search of him. He was brought to this city Thursday, and after an electric bath became rational. Dr. Cornelius, with a view to correcting the wild statements scattered broadcast by the man who telephoned to this city for Undersheriff Dunn said: For the past two weeks my brother has been suffering from congestion of the brain. Monday he became insane and seized a rifle to protect himself from imaginary pursuers whom, he believed, wanted to kill him. I succeeded in taking the weapon from him, and while putting it away he escaped to the hills. A search failed to locate him, and as night came on I informed my neighbors. We continued the search I had begun for several hours, but could get no clue to him. The next day it was resumed again, the party separating and going in every direction, but without success. I then felt great alarm for his safety and determined that night to notify the sheriff. Wednesday morning I came to Twin Lakes and requested some parties to telephone to Leadville, not making any clear explanation of the matter. That evening he was found, still laboring under the impression that some one wanted to kill him. He was almost famished and scarcely able to totter. The only weapon he had was a pocket knife, and the statement that he 'run' Twin Lakes is untrue. He never got farther than one mile from my residence and seems to have wandered about in a circle. He is now in great danger of having pneumonia, but with good care will probably recover.

He is a single man of about 35 years of age, and has for nearly a year shown symptoms of being queer in the head, and has always been a man of peculiar disposition. He was at one time clerk in the Durango post-office and previous to that drove a stage in the San Juan country. During the star route trials he was a witness in Washington. He will arrive at 1 o'clock to-night from the south and will be arrested at the depot. To-morrow he will have a regular jury trial, and be sent to the state asylum. His mail car is at present in charge of the conductor of the train. The cause of his insanity is thought to be some kind of financial difficulty. He is one of the four owners of the Pueblo Belle mine, in which quite an important strike was made recently, near Silverton.

Rocky Mountain News 2-24-1884 Coss Insane A Jury Decides a Pioneer to be of Unsound Mind He Will Go to Pueblo The County court was all of yesterday engaged in hearing testimony in the case of Alexander Coss, alleged to be insane. For short time past Coss has been an inmate of the county hospital. He is about 40 years of age and single. Coss is an old settler of Colorado, having come here overland from Atchison, Kas., with a bull team, long before a tie or rail had been laid west of the Missouri. Soon afterward he devoted himself to mining and prospecting, and was well known in many of the camps throughout the state. Of late years he has been living in Denver, and was a frequenter of the numerous gambling resorts throughout the city. Coss was a quiet, unobtrusive personage, and was known for his honorable way of transacting business. There appears to be no tangible cause for Coss' insanity, but it is unmistakable. The jury found him to be insane, and he will be sent to the state asylum at Pueblo in a few days.

Rocky Mountain News 6-5-1890 Three Gay Lunatics A Combination That Made Merry Music in the Vicinity of Judge Miller's Court The lunatics made things exceedingly lively for a short time in Judge Miller's court yesterday afternoon. They were Dennis Creed, John Roach and Mary Cossur (sp?), and they had been brought to the court in order that they might be legally committed to the state lunatic asylum. Creed was a very mild lunatic, but Roach and the woman were violently insane. The latter was affected with a religious mania. She threw herself on the floor repeatedly in an attitude of prayer, and it was only with the utmost difficulty that she could be restrained from injuring herself. When she became excited, Roach, who had been very violent, became calm. He even tried to quiet her. He whispered to Deputy Sheriff Golden that she was his wife and was behaving so strangely because she knew he was sick. The woman tore her clothes and tried to bite everybody within reach. As soon as these two were declared insane Creed's case was proceeded with. He is possessed of the hallucination that he is being pursued by imaginary persons. He told the jury that he had seen three little Jim Crow fellows about knee high follow him about and call sucker at him. The poor fellow concluded by telling Judge Miller that his head was the only part of his body that bothered him, and if that was all right he would be all right. All agreed with him. He was declared to be insane, and, with the other two, was taken to Pueblo last night.

Fort Collins Courier 2-26-1920 Coulter Brings Damage Suit Asking For $32,450 A suit for the recovery of $32,450 damages was instituted in the district court Wednesday morning by Howard M. Coulter against Mr. and Mrs. James M. Coulter and Mr. and Mrs. James B. Kempton, all parties being residents of Loveland. The complaint requests a body judgment, charging a malicious and unlawful conspiracy to alienate the affections of the plaintiff's mother by attempting to establish the fact that the plaintiff was insane and incapable of handling his own affairs. Howard M. Coulter, on the complaint of the defendants named in the present suit, was recently adjudged insane by a commission in the Larimer county court and was confined in the Pueblo asylum, but as a result of his demand for a jury trial, was found sane and released. Coulter now comes before the district court and claims actual damages in the amount of $22,450 and exemplary damages of $10,000. The complaint states that the defendants by insidious and malicious conspiracy induced the plaintiff's mother, Sarah A. Coulter, to leave her home with him and go to California, and on her return convinced her of Coulter's insanity and persuaded her to live with the Kemptons in Loveland. Some time ago Howard M. Coulter instituted a damage suit against the Loveland Reporter for $10,000, charging that the paper in publishing an account of his jury trial, stated he had been found insane when the contrary was the case.

Rocky Mountain News 11-2-1896 Amid Scenes of Horror County Hospital Is Crowded With Insane Citizens
Thereby dangles a story a narrative showing how well the county doesn't provide for her wheely citizens, and exemplifying the extra labor and unenviable experience to which the hospital attendants are subjected. The county hospital never was intended for a lunatic asylum. Never was built with the idea that under its walls would be sheltered at one time, a score and a half insane, ranging from the white-haired old lady who is simply off at times, to the wild, destructive maniac in whose diseased brain is moulded only a desire to kick, bite, glare and make a large noise. A reporter for The News took in the whole works yesterday, through the kindness of Dr. Simon, a member of the medical staff
The dungeon occupied by William Courtney, the singer, is at present unoccupied, and the only one without an inmate. It is identical with the others and is bare of furniture. The raving maniacs are looked after by Charlie, a porter who often has to handcuff an inmate. Not infrequently he has the services of three porters to assist him in subjecting a frenzied prisoner. For two days and nights the cuffs were kept upon Fred Lesher, lately removed from the hospital. There are as many insane at the hospital to-day as can be accommodated. As it is, the other patients are crowded or rendered miserable by the presence of those daft. Demented patients are taken to the institution very rapidly, sometimes at the rate of two or three a day. As none of those there can be removed, the result is obvious. The women are absolutely jammed together and something will have to be done soon to alleviate the distress. This changing about is a great deal of trouble, said Dr. Simon, and if we had a couple more 'ravers' we would have no place to put them, unless it be the county jail. We ought to have a new wing for the acute sick women, and then the old building can be remodeled and given over to the insane and consumptives. The extra and dangerous duty entailed in the care of the insane is not realized. We have twenty-six nurses and three porters, all of whom are kept on the jump
In no time at all the county hospital will be on a par with a lunatic asylum, unless reform measures are soon adopted.

Denver Evening Post 9-25-1896 Courtney is Jailed Musician and Eisteddfod Adjudicator Probably Insane Among the guests at the Windsor hotel a portly, dignified, well dressed and refined gentleman of 40 has for the past few weeks made himself conspicuous by his peculiar actions, which indicate that he should either be constantly watched, or else immured in some private institution for the mentally unbalanced. The gentleman whose constant eccentricities have caused the management of the hotel much annoyance is William Courtney of New York city, one of the most prominent teachers of voice culture in that metropolis, and an operatic tenor soloist of considerable renown. Hattie Louis Sims, the Denver vocalist, was a pupil of Mr. Courtney, who has instructed many of the prominent artists of the country. He has appeared in more than seventy different operas, under Director Henry Mapleson, Damrosch and other celebrities. At present the condition of Mr. Courtney is pitiable. His intellect is wrecked, and at intervals he is totally unbalanced. Penniless and miles away from influential friends, acquaintances who are willing to return him to his home are unable to assist him, because he cannot be induced to journey East. His present condition incapacitates him from providing for himself. Mr. Courtney came to Denver under contract with the Western Eisteddfod association as an adjudicator and was the highest salaried official of any engaged in that capacity. He was to have received $300 for his services. Members of the management of the Eisteddfod assert that the New Yorker arrived in Denver thirty-six hours late, and that from the first his mental condition indicated that he was incapable of satisfactorily filling the position for which he was engaged. When Courtney first appeared before the board of managers they were impressed with the belief that he was intoxicated. It was soon discovered that the popular musician was demented and the Eisteddfod association was unable to accept his services. This undoubtedly has increased the man's vagaries for he still claims that he is to receive $300 from the Eisteddfod officials. They are, however, willing to return the demented tenor to New York at any time but he will not permit them. Cherishing the delusion that he has fabulous wealth at his disposal, Courtney makes indiscriminate purchases. He buys whatever he fancies and whenever the whim seizes him. All his purchases are sent to the hotel C. O. D. and of course are promptly returned to the owner. When he reaches the hotel he rarely remembers the transactions and utters no complaint at the parcels being returned. Recently Courtney's vagaries have increased to an extent which menace his safety and liberty. Such an occasion occurred at 1 o'clock this morning. Courtney early in the evening left the hotel and meeting a friend later proposed a little midnight lunch. They proceeded to the Tortoni, where the musician officiated as host. After enjoying a very elaborate meal the waiter presented a check for $4.75. Assuming a patronizing smile Courtney courteously told the waiter he did not possess a cent. He expressed utter indifference when Patrolman Southard was called in, and willingly accompanied the official to police headquarters. Here he was locked up on a charge of false pretenses and detained until a messenger from the Windsor explained the situation. A charge of insanity was placed against the eccentric prisoner, who was released and escorted to the Windsor. This morning Courtney's vagaries cost him more trouble. While lounging in front of the hotel John Middlebrook, an employe of E. A. Peters & Co., drove up and hitched his horse in front of the hotel. The rig, which was a natty one, caught the eye of the New Yorker and in a jiffy he had untied the horse, jumped in the buggy and driven away. Courtney was arrested at 12:50 by Officer Green and taken to the county hospital in an insane condition.

Rocky Mountain News 9-26-1896 An Attack of Dementia Prof. Wm. C. Courtney Taken to the County Hospital William C. Courtney, who is one of the leading vocalists of New York city, and who as a tenor has appeared in several of the best opera companies put on in the country, and one of the board of adjudicators at the recent Eisteddfod, is an inmate of the county hospital in the insane ward. The signs of dementia have been apparent in Courtney for some time, but it was not until yesterday, when he appropriated a horse and buggy belonging to J. A. Middleton of E. A. Peters & Co., and drove it about the city so desperately that it is feared that it will die, that Courtney was placed in custody. It was apparent to the Eisteddfod management that something was wrong with the man even before he came to Denver. Before the opening of the festival, Courtney asked for a remittance of $100 to enable him to reach Denver, and a day later the management were called on to honor a draft for $175 from Courtney. Then when he appeared he was behind time and it was found that he was incapable of acting, and although he was allowed to appear as one of the adjudicators, it is stated that his decisions were in no case accepted except when they agreed with the other adjudicators. On the last evening of the festival, Courtney very nearly made a disturbance by insisting that he be allowed to sing, claiming that more than half the people had come expressly to hear him sing. He was not allowed to appear, however. Stopping at the Windsor Since the Eisteddfod closed, Courtney has been stopping at the Windsor, where he has represented that he had $200 coming from the Eisteddfod association. The association were to pay him $300 for his three days' services, but withheld it on account of his incapacity, which part of the time was thought to be the result of liquor rather than insanity. One of the diversions of the professor since he has been at the Windsor has been to order various articles sent to the hotel, but as they were sent collect, they were invariably returned. Last Thursday evening Courtney invited a friend to lunch with him at the Tortoni, and when, some time after midnight, the check for the supper was presented, Courtney blandly announced that he had no money. Officer Southard was summoned and took Courtney to the station, where he was booked for false pretenses, but when it was discovered that he was stopping at the Windsor, Courtney was sent to the hotel and placed in his room, with a bell boy to watch him. Yesterday morning the bell boy was absent for a short time and Courtney in that time disappeared. J. A. Middleton, salesman for E. A. Peters & Co., had driven up to the Windsor pharmacy and went inside to sell a bill of goods. Courtney saw the rig, stepped in and drove away. Went to Highlands Apparently he went direct to Highlands. He had appeared at the corner of Twelfth and Agate the previous afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock, and inquired of Mrs. Monahan where No. 1117, Highlands, could be found. Assuming that he wanted Highland avenue, he was directed to that thoroughfare, but he seemed to be confused and finally wanted to know who owned all of the lots around there, declaring they were beautiful, and if he knew who owned them he would buy every inch of it. After a while he came back and wanted to borrow a nickel to get to his hotel. This was reported to the Highlands police. Between 9 and 10 o'clock yesterday morning, Courtney appeared at Mrs. Monahan's again with the inquiry as to where he could find 1117, saying he was hunting for a man who had some horses to sell and that he was going to buy them. Again he was directed to Highland avenue and inquired in several places for No. 1117, but there is no such number and he drove about in a circle for some time. He gave his name as MacCourtney, and said he stopped at the Windsor. About 1 o'clock Courtney again appeared at the Windsor, hitching the horse where he had found it, and it was there found by Mr. Middleton in an exhausted condition, covered with sweat and so badly blown that it is feared it will die. Officer George Green was summoned and Courtney was taken to the county hospital by way of police headquarters. He will be held until his friends can be communicated with. It is learned that Courtney's wife, from whom he has been separated for some time, resides in London, England. But little else is known regarding his family relations.

Denver Evening Post 9-26-1896 Denver's Insane in Dismal Quarters Arapahoe county, through negligence of its officials, pays thousands of dollars annually to the state insane asylum for the care of its insane and the people never receive the benefit of the money expended. By the manner in which the state authorities permit the state asylum to be conducted they are responsible to the people of Arapahoe county for taking their thousands and giving them but slight benefits in return. Superintendent Thoms of the Pueblo asylum says Arapahoe county is entitled to but 33 per cent of the patients in the institution, and that its allowance is already present within the walls. The county commissioners of Arapahoe county know that the people whom they represent contribute 46 per cent of the support of the state asylum, yet they crowd their insane into small, badly-lighted cells in the basement of the county hospital instead of exerting sufficient endeavors to force the state asylum to receive patients for whom the institution has been paid. The hospital is now sheltering twenty-five insane patients when it should be sheltering none. There are no facilities and what means are at the disposal of the superintendent and medical staff are inadequate to cope with the constantly increasing number of lunatics. The hospital authorities are struggling nobly but it is a severe tax upon them and the county. It is a shame of many appealing voices (?) that the insane of the county are so poorly taken care of and that a dangerous lunatic should be made to suffer irritation beyond measure because of a lack of better quarters
He is suffering from paranoia, or monomania, said a staff physician, in referring to white-haired, fine-featured William Courtney, the New York operatic singer, whose faults of memory and lapses of sanity were described in last night's Post. He may talk intelligently on anything else but one subject or delusion, which he firmly believes in. Dangerous? No, not particularly so. But this form of insanity is harder to cure than the most violent case of common craziness. Two weeks ago, one Sunday evening, Courtney electrified a large congregation at St. John's cathedral by rising, and just before the recessional, singing from the chancel a solo of such power, depth and sweetness that eyes and hearts were touched. The celebrated singer, who has trod the operatic boards under Damrosch and all the famous leaders, is a stout, gray-haired man with kindly blue eyes, and delicate sensitive mouth. The contrast between the lighted cathedral and the gloomy room, his rough hospital suit and refined face was great. You sang at St. John's the other night? was asked him. Yes, oh yes, Dean Hart will marry me to-morrow, and then coming close to the grating, he continued: Open the door, gentlemen. It is not much to ask. Why should I be in this beastly place? Look, this is the way the dragon goes to sleep. He shuts his mouth and rolls his eyes, and, presto, gentlemen, he is off! I'm worth much money, oh, say $100,000, and I'm going to make a million in this town. I bought 1,000 acres of land, and I'm going to erect 1,000 houses, which I shall rent for $50 each month. Then I have a splendid hair tonic from New York, which has just come to-day. I will make $100,000 from that. The unnaturally bright eyes grew brighter as he convulsively clutched the bars of his door. Yes, he moaned, I sang 'When God Created Man,' from the 'Creation,' by Haydn, at St. John's the other night. It is a beautiful place to sing in, and they asked me to be their regular tenor. I'm going to start an opera troupe tomorrow, and will have the biggest soloists in the world, besides a chorus of 500 (?) and a ballet of 600. We are going to England in the spring, and will engage at Daly's theater, with the queen as my prima donna. You know I took the original tenor in Sullivan's 'Trial by Jury' in London, so I am familiar with our repertoire. We will present 'Geisha' in London, 'Lohengrin,' 'Faust,' and all the regular operas. My artists will be Miss May (Mary?) Story and Miss Blodgett of Toledo, and oh, many others. As Courtney ceased Lawrence Orr, who imagines a man is in pursuit of him with murder in his heart, and who was arrested on a journey from San Francisco to Hot Springs, Ark., set up a dismal wail of anguish in an adjoining cell. He was answered by others, in various keys. A colored girl on the lawn paused and listened as the weird chorus grew, led by the tenor of Courtney in My Bonnie Blue Eyes. It caused a shudder of horror and disgust
During the present year the county hospital has been relieved by the state asylum of but twenty-five of its charges who had been forced upon it by a lack of room at the state asylum, where they are firmly denied admission. At one time not many weeks ago there were nine persons tried in the county court on the charge of insanity, and all adjudged insane. They were at once taken to the county hospital for temporary detention. There are now at the hospital twenty-five persons who are adjudged insane, but who have not been sent to the state asylum. The county must support these people, regardless of their 46 per cent of the support of the state asylum. The patients at present in the county hospital are: William Courtenay (Courtney)

Denver Evening Post 10-12-1896 A Peculiar Malady William Courtney, The Great Singer, Declared Incurable William Courtney, the operatic singer of New York, who was brought to this city several weeks ago to act as adjudicator in the Eisteddfod festival and who was removed to the county hospital from a hotel, suffering from insanity, was yesterday declared to be incurably insane by a corps of reputable physicians. The case of the fine-featured, strongly-built man is an extremely sad one. He is on the downward path of brain deterioration, which no amount of medical skill can combat. His case will gradually grow worse until paralysis sets in and he becomes an innate object of pity. It is likely that friends will call for him in a few days and remove him to an asylum in the East. He is a man doomed to death in a short time. Courtney is suffering from a comparatively simple disease to insanity experts. He is attacked by general paresis, a disease that carried off John McCullough, the tragedian, who made a name for himself in Virginius (?). He was the first actor or man before the public who succumbed to the malady that has interested experts ever since. Poor Harry Kernell, whom every variety theater frequenter remembers with a broad smile, was also a victim of the ravages of the disease and died in an insane asylum, a harmless wreck of insanity. The disease of Courtney is peculiar as all assume some slight peculiarity. He is the greatest man in the world, in his mind. The disease is characterized by delusions of grandeur which haunt the every movement of the sufferer. At the present stage of the disease, Courtney is a wonderfully happy man. That is a nature of the disease to make sufferers happy. He awakes in the morning with the brightest thoughts and the very daylight makes him happy. In a few short months, however, he will degenerate into a stupid being, incapable of reasoning or making sensibly known his wants. He will fall into a state of dementia which is close to idiocy. In another year, the physicians who examined him yesterday state, he will be dead. The disease is brought about by a constant strain upon the brain of any public person who is called upon to entertain the public. The public is always looking for something new which causes the overwork on the part of the men. One other thing which tends to overtax the brain is the irregularity of the life of an actor or public singer. Courtney says he has had an interview with Queen Victoria and the grand old lady has given him Venezuela and Canada and freed Ireland. He has accepted the position of King of Venezuela and has promised all the medical students whom he knows a position at $50,000 a year. He also says Queen Victoria was generous to him and gave him Beatrice in marriage. He says he shed Hoggish tears of joy when that was made known to him. In a short time the ideas of Courtney will be so flighty that he will not be able to remember one thing for a longer space than a few seconds. That is the result of extremely quick thought for years.

Courtwright, Ann
Pueblo Chieftain 8-24-2009 - Care in Mind - Anne Courtright Had a Front-Row Seat for Changes in Psychiatry - Dr. Anne Courtright never got a formal certification as a psychiatrist, but instead learned the specialty firsthand during what she called the practice's golden age and continued to work four decades, treating some of Colorado's most seriously ill patients. Entering the field when psychotropic drugs changed the ways mental illness was treated and working alongside some of the pioneers in treatment, she built a career that included two stints at what's now the Colorado Mental Health Institute-Pueblo and 16 years in private practice. Today, Courtright is probably best known locally as an outspoken advocate of a single-payer health system, a firm believer that for-profit insurance companies are not providing the care that most Americans need. From her home at the end of Seventh Avenue, she can gaze westward at the campus of the state hospital where she worked from 1959 to 1970, and later from 1986 to 1992, when she finally decided to retire. She and her late husband, Clay, killed four years ago in a plane crash, have made Big Hill their home since arriving in Pueblo 51 years ago. The couple led an effort to make the land to the east and south open space, to retain some of the allure that lured them there. Anne Courtright was accustomed to open spaces. She was raised on a farm in Norman, Okla., and never lost her love of the outdoors. In addition to growing crops, her father, E. Nicholas Comfort, was a Presbyterian minister who served as chaplain at the nearby Central State Hospital. Growing up, the youngest of three girls and two boys - another brother had died years earlier of malaria when the family lived in Texas - she remembers trips to the mental institution to sing carols at Christmas time. I vividly remember those large concrete stairs and the big metal doors," she said. "It was like a prison. But once inside, she said, her best memories were of how happy people were to see the carolers. They were just delighted to see anyone, she recalls. Most of the patients were doomed to spend the rest of their lives at the hospital because their illnesses could not be treated, and custodial care was the only alternative. Along with that, so many were separated from friends or family members who were either too far away to visit often or who just didn't want to. Being mentally ill was kind of a disgrace in those days, she explained. A few years later, when she was a teenager between her junior and senior years of high school, she spent the summer working at the hospital. That could well be where she first learned that sometimes you just have to do the job, regardless of formal training. The second week I was there, they told me I was going to be the charge nurse at the acute medical ward, she recalled. While that may seem like quite a responsibility for a teenage girl, typically a patient would be given the job, she was told. It was 1942 and they were painfully short of staff, she adds. That summer, she worked 12-hour days, six days a week and lived in quarters provided for her. Home was not too far away, but her hours left little time to commute. Besides learning that people would trust her with a lot of responsibility, she also learned something about the mentally ill. Mrs. Courtright remembers one incident where she was spoon-feeding a patient. The patient was a large woman, and like so many, had spent years in the state hospital. I guess I got too busy trying to get her to eat, she said, and she backhanded me, sending me and the tray flying across the room. I treated people with a great deal more respect after that. She also learned that no matter how disconnected from the world the patients might seem, even though somebody is pretty psychotic, there's still a human being there. Before that summer, Mrs. Courtright had already decided she wanted a career in medicine. She knew several woman doctors in the Norman area and had no qualms about her ability to enter the profession. She was in her junior year of college when she could have gone directly into medical school but was asked to wait because so many men returning from World War II had applied. Eventually, she enrolled at the University of Oklahoma medical school, where she met her husband. Anne Comfort and Clay Courtright found themselves sitting next to each other in class, seated alphabetically. At the end of their first year in medical school, 1948, they were married. After medical school and an internship at a private hospital in Ann Arbor, Mich., she took a job as assistant public health director in Oklahoma City. Her husband, a World War II veteran, soon found himself facing a recall to service in the Korean conflict. He joined the Air Force, and the couple moved to Marianna, Fla., where he did aviation medical exams. While an Air Force career was a possibility for him, she shakes her head and says, I spent a couple of years as an Air Force wife and decided that was a lot of hooey. While she was still just interested in basic medicine, he decided he wanted to specialize in dermatology and got a residency at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. The couple by that time had their first child, Karen, now Karen Dunn, who lives in Wilmington, Del. When they arrived in Minnesota, Mrs. Courtright looked for work too. I was told you could always get a job at Rochester State Hospital." Although always interested in psychology, she doesn't recall ever getting any specialized psychiatric training in medical school but nevertheless went to work at the state hospital, providing medical care. That was where she met Magnus Petersen, long-time superintendent and a leader in the growing field of psychotropic drugs. Mental hospitals at the time, she said, were primarily custodial. People who came to them spent the rest of their life there, she said. The only treatments were electroshock therapy and inducing an insulin subcoma. TLC was the only other treatment available. She was in charge of the acute medical ward, staffed by residents from Mayo who worked in return for room and board, when Petersen asked her if she would be interested in psychiatry. I learned as I went along, she said. That was the beginning of a new era. Mrs. Courtright said that the new miracle drugs changed the way people were treated. There was a lady who'd spent 20 to 30 years in a padded cell because she kept banging her head against the wall. On Thorazine, she became rational and was given ground parole. Rochester was a learning experience in other ways. Another woman was admitted and told Mrs. Courtright that she had a nail in her head. I said, yeah, right but went ahead an ordered an X-ray. The next morning the radiologist came running to me and showed me the X-ray. She'd hammered a nail into her head at some point, but it didn't appear to have done any damage. I learned to listen to what people say after that. Mrs. Courtright spent three years at the Rochester hospital. When her husband finished his training, the couple started looking for a good place to set up his practice. In 1958, they narrowed the search to Tyler, Texas, and Pueblo. We looked at Tyler and drove to the medical center there. There was a circle with all of these offices around it, and we looked at all the Cadillacs parked around the circle. We weren't Cadillac people. We turned around and didn't even talk to anyone. It was her husband who came to Pueblo and spotted the building lots on Big Hill. The couple built a home there, a location she said made them feel like we were kind of in the country, but in the middle of town. By then Claiborne Alan Courtright, who now lives in Port Arthur, Texas, had arrived and Mrs. Courtright was pregnant with their third child, Debra Anne Burnham, now of Independence, Mo. A year after Debra was born, she decided to go back to work. Because her psychiatric experience was limited to on-the-job training, she applied to the psychiatric residency program at the state hospital here. But Dr. F.H. Zimmerman, the superintendent at the hospital then, told her not to bother. A long-time friend of Rochester's Petersen, she said he told her, 'If you're good enough to work for Magnus, you're good enough to work for me,' and he put me on the psychiatric staff. That was my introduction to forensic psychiatry. Her experience in Rochester with the new drugs was just the beginning of changes in the field. Psychiatry was still changing like crazy, Courtright said. A new superintendent, Dr. Willis Bower, came in and told the staff that the days of custodial care were over, and that people were going to be treated and not kept hospitalized the rest of their lives. Bless his heart, she said. "He did it." Bower set up two acute treatment wards with Mrs. Courtright in charge of one, and the patients who could successfully be treated got what they needed and were sent home. This was a whole new world, she recalled. After that, the hospital was decentralized. Mrs. Courtright was responsible for patients from northeastern Colorado and later, as the hospital population was reduced, the southeastern region, too. That to me was the golden age of psychiatry, she said, describing how mental health centers in communities around the state were set up to provide treatment so that people could stay home and not be hospitalized unless really necessary. It was adequately funded for a few brief years, she said. I had planned to stay there the rest of my bloody career. But good days don't last forever. Bower's replacement changed the way things were done, and Mrs. Courtright, believing that patients were being sent home too early, resigned in July 1970. She and a state hospital social worker who also quit set up a private practice offering family therapy. They would counsel and provide treatment and hospitalization, as Mrs. Courtright had privileges at both Pueblo hospitals. While the hospital work and drug treatment fit in well with her medical training, the talking aspect of psychiatric care was something Mrs. Courtright learned long before medical school, she said. I think I learned my psychoanalytical skills from my father, she said. Her dad taught ministerial classes in a program associated with the University of Oklahoma. She often attended his lectures on marriage counseling and other issues. I heard a lot of his lectures. He was a pretty wise man. It was from him that I got the ability to talk to people. The private practice eventually became a burden. By the 1980s, we had the HMOs and I was getting really frustrated. And Medicaid wasn't worth a hoot. In 1986, Mrs. Courtright got a call from the state hospital asking if she'd come back to work. She did and wound up back at the forensic unit until 1992 when, at 65, she retired. It was during that time that she remembers a call she got that she often uses in her criticism of insurance companies. An insurance company representative called and told her to release a patient because his insurance had run out. With a laugh, she says, I told her he was in there under court order, and she asked me to connect her to the judge. I finally hung up the phone. Later, after her retirement, Mrs. Courtright was named to the hospital's community advisory committee by the late Bob Hawkins, then superintendent. Her committee did a study of psychiatric care throughout the state, and that was what made her a firm believer that a single-payer system was needed. The reality was the system was not working. The jails had become the leading psychiatric facilities in the country. A leading proponent of single-payer health care, Mrs. Courtright defends the concept against claims that it's socialized medicine. She points out that doctors, hospitals and pharmacies would continue to be independent. The difference would be that the government would pay them. Medicare is not socialized medicine, and it works very nicely, thank you. I would love to get the insurance companies out of the practice of medicine.Today, Mrs. Courtright looks over the grounds of the state hospital every morning at breakfast from the windows of her Big Hill home, where she and her husband had moved in 2000, just a few doors from their long-time home up the block. Her fourth child, Janet Elaine Ross, born in 1961, lives next door with her family.

Cowan, Al
Steamboat Pilot 3-6-1901 Thug Was in Routt County The hatred of Al Cowan for women, his mental derangement, his visual peculiarity and his ghastly, waxen complexion, have all been explained. The man is a sufferer from contagious blood poisoning. The disease has affected his brain, and so affected his sight that at one time he was in great danger of going blind. And his use of mercury to cure the disease accounts for his pallid complexion. State Senator Benjamin L. Jefferson, a prominent physician of Routt county, identifies Cowan as a man whom he treated at Hayden, Routt county, some three or more years ago. At that time Cowan was working at Ed Smith's saw ranch in the neighborhood. Senator Jefferson says that while he has not seen the man in jail, the name, the occupation followed by the man, and above all the photographs published by the Post, leave not a doubt in his mind that the man under arrest charged with the thuggery on the hill, is the same whom he treated. Cowan was not exactly considered insane, but was called peculiar. While the disease did not make him a maniac, Senator Jefferson says that it did affect the brain, and that its ravages caused paranoia, the nervous trouble from which Cowan is now suffering. The suffering the man has undergone, coupled with the effects of the disease on his brain, would account for the violent hatred he manifests toward women, whom he blames for all his troubles.

Rocky Mountain News 5-12-1895 A Case of Wheels Al Cowan Claims Protection from Numerous Persecutors A man giving his name as Al Cowan called at detective headquarters yesterday afternoon and told Detectives Loomis and Burlew a strange tale of persecution. He at first denied that he had assaulted a woman in the Cherokee strip and claimed that ever since he had left there they were after him. He told about everybody looking at him as they went by because the crime was known all over the country. After listening to the man's story the detectives concluded that the police surgeon's assistance was necessary and the latter concluded that he has a clear case of insanity on his hands, and the county physician was asked to take charge. Cowan is not considered hopeless and will be carefully treated.

Mr. Cowan graduated from the agricultural college in the class of 1901, and was looked upon as a young man of much promise by his instructors and associates. Whether due to over study or some other cause is not known, but a few months ago he began to show unmistakable signs of an unbalanced mind. His condition kept growing worse and worse until at last friends came to the conclusion he should be placed under treatment for insanity. He was adjudged insane, and taken to the asylum in Pueblo on Wednesday by Sheriff Cross.

Cowgill, Frank D.
Colorado Springs Free Press 3-15-1949 - Bruce Lashes Hospital for Killers' Escapade - Police Chief I.B. (Dad) Bruce lashed out at the incompetency of state hospital authorities at Pueblo last night over two ex-cops, both murderers, who took "french leave" from the institution Sunday on a taxicab joyride with two student nurses to Colorado Springs. "It's a dangerous situation," he warned, adding that we didn't want inmates of the hospital up here especially convicted murderers." Dr. F.H. Zimmerman, hospital director, identified the two as Frank D. Cowgill, 37, and Ronald F. Smith, 24, both killers committed to the asylum on insanity pleas. Their privileges have been revoked indefinitely for the unauthorized absence, he added. After the nurses were put on the Rock Island Rocket bound for Minneapolis, the pair went on a drinking spree before their return to the Steel City. Bruce made known his feelings about the escapade after it was learned that a friend of Cowgill had driven the pair back to Pueblo Sunday night in time to make the 8 p.m. roll call. Cowgill was committed to the institution after he calmly shot a companion during a brawl in 1946. Smith, a former Grand Junction patrolman, went berserk in the cocktail lounge of the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver and killed a patron in 1946. The anonymous friend of Cowgill said he received a telephone call from the killer shortly after noon asking that he come to the Rio Grande depot. There the friend found Cowgill, Smith and the two nurses on the train, with Smith "affectionately" kissing one of the girls goodby, police were told. The nurses, whose names were not revealed, had been in training at the state hospital but were en route to another hospital in Minneapolis. Cowgill said the four had hired a cab for $12 with part of the fare paid by the nurses. Before the girls left, the four had several drinks in a tavern on Pikes Peak Avenue. After the departure of the nurses, Cowgill, Smith and the friend moved to another tavern on South Tejon Street, where the killers had several more drinks. During the drinking Cowgill urged Smith not to "fall in love" again or "this thing will happen every three month," the friend quoted the killer as saying. Smith was immaculately dressed in sports clothes and paid for most of the drinks in the local taverns. He also repeatedly flashed a cigaret lighter, although such ornaments and matches of all kinds are forbidden at the hospital. During the conversations, Cowgill hinted to the friend that the two had spent the previous night at the Vail Hotel in Pueblo. A check at the hotel showed that if this were true they were not registered under their own names. After having dinner at the friend's house, they were driven back to Pueblo and let off at the Vail Hotel again. Later Sunday night Cowgill and Smith admitted having a "drink or two" during their "day of freedom," Dr. Zimmerman said, but there was no evidence to show they had been drunk. Cowgill was convicted of killing William L. Cross, of Kearney, Neb., in the Denver Union Depot, June 2, 1946. He was found guilty by reason of insanity. Since then several attempts to free him have been turned down. Smith shot Dr. James K. Mullen of Pocatello, Idaho, on Sept., 30, 1946. He served briefly in the state prison before being sent to the hospital for psychiatric treatment. Colorado Springs Free Press 3-18-1949 - Zimmerman Still Investigating State Hospital Pair's Joyride - Denver, March 17 Dr. F.H. Zimmerman, superintendent of the State Hospital at Pueblo, today notified Gov. Lee Knous that he still was investigating the apparent escapade of two inmate-murderers who were undergoing treatment there. He referred to Frank D. Cowgill, former Denver policeman who shot and killed a Nebraska man as a climax to a drinking spree, and Ronald F. Smith, former Grand Junction policeman who also shot and killed a man in a Denver hotel tavern after "loading" himself on scotch throughout the day. The pair violated their "ground privileges," Dr. Zimmerman informed Knous by letter, when they left the hospital last Sunday and drove to Colorado Springs with two student nurses from Minneapolis, Minn., who were sent to Colorado for further study. The nurses boarded a train at Colorado Springs to return to Minneapolis. Apparently dissatisfied with the reply he had received in answer to a request made by telephone for full details, Knous then wrote Zimmerman another letter which he made public today. "The circumstance that the absence of these two inmates from your institution was not discovered until afternoon of the day following their departure, and that upon information from outside sources, naturally prompts the inquiry as to the adequacy of their supervision and the necessity for taking additional precautions in this connection," the Governor stated in his letter. The Governor said further that "considering the background of these individuals, I am very sure the public as well as myself are concerned in two or three matters not mentioned in your letter." Knous thanked Dr. Zimmerman for the report on the case he submitted and said he wanted the superintendent to advise him further with regard to a detailed report on what precautions would be taken to prevent recurrence of the incident. Dr. Zimmerman said that he had "no knowledge of the escapade until I was called by a reporter in Colorado Springs Monday" regarding the case. An anonymous tipster informed Police Chief I.B. "Dad" Bruce of the pair's presence in Colorado Springs, but before the officer investigated it the two men had already returned to the State Hospital.

Coyle, the young man who attempted to shuffle off his existence last week, at 444 Broadway, seems inclined to continue to entertain the belief that he should separate. He is now confined in the county hospital, and is not inclined to be satisfied with his lot. On the night of the affair, Coyle severed his windpipe. The gash in the neck was stitched and closed, but the windpipe in question was allowed to remain disconnected. Since his removal to the hospital Coyle has made matters very entertaining for those having charge of that institution. He has on numerous occasions, with his fingers, rented afresh the wound in the neck, and caused considerable annoyance and trouble to the physician in attendance. On Friday a straight-jacket was put on the man, and in one of his wild cavortings broke the jacket into many pieces, and tore afresh the gash in his neck. There seems to be no doubt existing in the minds of those who have charge of Coyle as to his insanity, and as soon as his wound has healed sufficiently they will make an effort to have him removed to the asylum.

Craven, Louis or Leslie
Rocky Mountain News 7-15-1896 Drive With a Madman Young Boy's Hair-Raising Experience With a Heavily Armed Insane Employer Louis Craven, a blacksmith living at 705 Argo avenue, North Denver, was brought to the city last evening from the Fort Logan guard house by Chief of Police Russell and Detectives Burlew and Mack. The circumstances surrounding the case plainly indicate that the blacksmith has suddenly become the victim of insanity. For several months Craven has been occupying a little frame house at 705 Argo avenue, which is not much better than a shanty. He was known to be industrious and regularly appeared at his place of business daily. In the rear of his kitchen had been built a sort of shack for his horse a fine animal and one in which he took considerable pride. However, a few weeks ago, during his absence with the horse, the barn and outhouses were gutted by fire. Their loss, the police say, may have engendered despondency. At any rate, up to Monday morning nothing unusual was noticed regarding his actions. He worked steadily and seemed contented. Monday night he hired a young German boy named Henry Gettman to work in his blacksmith shop. Yesterday morning, when Craven awoke, he told the youth to dress as rapidly as possible and to ask no questions. He then drew forth two revolvers, and after strapping around himself a belt full of cartridges, told Gettman to hitch up the horse and wagon preparatory to taking a long ride. While the German noticed that his employer seemed excited, he deemed it wise, in view of his position, to make no comments nor ask questions. The pair drove along a few blocks southerly, and then the blacksmith volunteered the information that he intended shooting a horse out by the Denver paper mills. Such a strange mission prompted the boy to ask whose animal he intended killing, but he was given a vague reply. When the cotton mills hove into sight Craven prepared to rein in his horses, but upon being told that the paper mills had not yet been reached, he grunted and drove on. In the meantime, young Gettman began to grow frightened. After furious driving, the pair came to a secluded spot about a third of a mile from Fort Logan. Here Craven stopped his horse and gave Gettman a slip of note paper, upon which in pencil was scrawled: Denver, July 14, 1896 I, L. Craven, do this day sine all right and title to Henry Gettman, my blacksmith tools, one horse, buggy, one sete of harness. The blacksmith shop, all of my clothes. Shop No. 705 Argo avenue, Denver. Yorse, L. Craven. Craven then made the young German change hats with him, and after alighting (?) told the boy to drive back to town in quick time. No explanations were received and the boy could do nothing more than comply. He reached the home of Rev. A. Traudt, pastor of the First German Congregational church, where he related his remarkable experience, and the two came to police headquarters. Not long after, the chief received notification from Fort Logan that a man wandering around the fort had been placed in the guard house, awaiting developments. The description given tallied with that vouchsafed by the boy, and the officer in charge was ordered to hold the man until he could be called for. Detectives Mack and Burlew, in company with Chief Russell, then drove out to the fort. At the fort Craven had another of his fits, in which the services of six men were required in order to subdue his actions. The police ascertained that the blacksmith is a deserter. He entered the Twelfth infantry under Colonel Wilcox, at Fort Thomas, in 1880, and left a year later four years before the expiration of his time. He was taken to jail and subsequently to the county hospital. A woman named Mrs. Hamilton called upon the chief last night, claiming that she is about to be married to the man, but she was refused the liberty of conversing with him.

Rocky Mountain News 7-19-1896 At Large Without Clothing Demented Blacksmith Escapes From His Custodians Leslie Craven, the North side blacksmith, is again at liberty, this time perfectly nude. Craven was first brought to the notice of the police last week, when he took a young boy about ten miles from the city, gave him a bill of sale of his property and then told him to drive home with all speed. He was found soon after at Fort Logan, where he gave the officers a hard fight to master him. He was brought here and adjudged insane and Police Surgeon Mack took him to the county hospital for treatment. Friday a Mrs. Hamilton, who says Craven owes her money, called on the county commissioners and induced Chairman Wheeler to sign an order for the release of the blacksmith. Her story was very glibly told and her manner convincing. Craven was accordingly set at liberty and then had a fit in front of the capitol building. Friends took him to 2418 Nineteenth street, where he remained until 3:15 yesterday morning. It seems that after retiring for the night Craven arose without clothing and decamped. His friends gave chase, but his footsteps were traced only a few feet and then disappeared. The police are looking after the lunatic.

They were Dennis Creed, John Roach and Mary Cossur (sp?), and they had been brought to the court in order that they might be legally committed to the state lunatic asylum. Creed was a very mild lunatic, but Roach and the woman were violently insane. The latter was affected with a religious mania. She threw herself on the floor repeatedly in an attitude of prayer, and it was only with the utmost difficulty that she could be restrained from injuring herself. When she became excited, Roach, who had been very violent, became calm. He even tried to quiet her. He whispered to Deputy Sheriff Golden that she was his wife and was behaving so strangely because she knew he was sick. The woman tore her clothes and tried to bite everybody within reach. As soon as these two were declared insane Creed's case was proceeded with. He is possessed of the hallucination that he is being pursued by imaginary persons. He told the jury that he had seen three little Jim Crow fellows about knee high follow him about and call sucker at him. The poor fellow concluded by telling Judge Miller that his head was the only part of his body that bothered him, and if that was all right he would be all right. All agreed with him. He was declared to be insane, and, with the other two, was taken to Pueblo last night.

Again disarmed, young Critchfield rushed out into the street and began stoning his home, shattering windows and splintering doors. Tired of this insane amusement, the unfortunate began a mad race about the streets, with citizens in pursuit. In the meantime Sergeant McNeill arrived, but before he could reach the crazy epileptic the latter swallowed nitrate of amal. He was hurriedly taken to police headquarters, where Surgeon Jarecki administered an antidote and saved his life. Critchfield will be tried for insanity.

The unfortunate defendant in the case was a lady of advanced years named Eliza J. Crosby, who has been living at the corner of Seventh and Curtis streets. She has a husband and four children, the younger a boy about 14 years of age. She has been suffering from a diseased limb (?) for a number of years past. She has been a very hard working woman, and has probably overexerted both mind and body. She carried on a laundry at Durango for several years. She could not give very coherent testimony yesterday, and seems almost to have lost the power of speech. She shows by turns a tendency to excessive laughter and excessive crying, and exhibited the former tendency very strongly in the court room yesterday. In the absence of the county attorney, J. W. Stevens, esq., conducted the prosecution, and George W. Austin, esq., appeared as guardian for the defense. The defendant's insanity was clearly established in the opinion of judge, lawyers, and all interested, and by order of the court she will be removed from the county hospital, where she has been since Tuesday, to the insane asylum at Pueblo. Her removal will take place next Saturday.

The old lady was found by some people of the Wells about six miles out on the prairie. She was almost nude, and when found was crouching over a smouldering fire endeavoring to keep warm. She resisted like a demon when taken, crying that she was a Sister of Charity and had been sent out here to pacify the Indians, who were engaged in the messiah or ghost dance. If they would not let her go to the dance she begged to be sent to the Chinese mission in San Francisco. For several days she had wandered across the prairies about Cheyenne Wells, frightening the ranchers and living in dugouts or outhouses. She had evidently gone crazy on religion and no one knows where she came from.

That his mania caused him to imagine that someone was trying to rob or kill him, is well known here; and it was undoubtedly the broodings of a diseased mind which wrought him into a frenzy culminating in murder. He has demonstrated that he is a menace to society, free, but he is a more fit subject for Dr. Thombs than for the hangman. In the interest of decency and humanity, the Cone trusts that the question of Crosthwaite's sanity will be tested before extreme measures are resorted to. We are troubled by no morbid sympathy for murderers, but a little care and investigation in this case will we believe prevent the horror of executing one who is not responsible for his actions.
Crossthwaite, Charles H.
White Pine Cone 1-25-1889 To-day is set for the execution of Crosthwaite at Ouray. There has been petitions circulated and signed by numerous prominent people asking that a stay of proceedings be had, but the Cone is unable to learn whether more time has been granted or not. So far as the plea set up by the petitions is concerned, it is not likely to have much effect. Crosthwaite is insane, irresponsible, but he has not always been a peaceable good citizen. On the contrary, quite the reverse.
Crossthwaite, Charles H.
White Pine Cone 3-29-1889 Governor Cooper when asked what action he proposed to take in the Crosthwaite matter, said, It is clearly my duty, with the evidence before me declaring the prisoner to be insane, not to permit the man to be executed while a reasonable doubt of his sanity exists. I have no authority to order a judicial investigation of the question, and, unless petitioned pretty generally by the people of Ouray County to commute the sentence to life imprisonment, I shall have to reprieve him again and wait till the people down there take action to settle the question of his present mental condition. I am convinced the man had a fair trial as far as the disposition of the court and jury extended, and the people of Ouray think so. This authority to modify the sentence of a court is conferred on the Executive to bridge that chasm which is sometimes found to yawn between law and justice. He cannot obtain a new trial and if he is insane he ought not to be hung. I shall not, of course, permit the sentence to be executed while there is such ample grounds for distrusting his sanity. But if judicial inquiry should establish his sanity, I shall let the law take its course. If he was sane when he committed the deed, and is sane now, he ought to be executed. I desire above all, to take no arbitrary action on the case that would weaken public confidence in Ouray county in the efficiency of the law, and I desire that whatever be done in the case, shall have the general approval of the public sentiment of that locality. The only way in which we can preserve a respect for the law is to make it coincide as far as possible with the public sense of right. Ouray Plaindealer.

Rocky Mountain News 2-21-1897 Escaped the Hangman And Now C. H. Crossthwaite Wants a Free Pardon The state board of pardons will again be requested to consider an application for the pardon of Charles H. Crossthwaite, confined in the state penitentiary on a life sentence. Crossthwaite was convicted of murder in the first degree in 1888, for the murder of George Johnson, a miner, at Ouray. Application was then made for a commutation of sentence to life imprisonment, investigation by James McCarthy, better known as Fitz Mac, then pardon clerk, resulting in determining that Crossthwaite was mentally unbalanced, or rather that he was a man of very violent temper, which was aroused to the pitch of taking human life if he happened to be crossed in any of his desires. Fitz Mac's report was voluminous. He had made a careful investigation of Crossthwaite's life, and found that he had several times made vicious assaults on persons. Otherwise Crossthwaite is a man of talent. He is a composer of music, poet, inventor, draughtsman and quite literary. His family connections also stand very high. Death Sentence Commuted On Fitz Mac's report to the board of pardons the sentence of death was commuted to imprisonment for life. When Crossthwaite again applied for pardon, during Mr. Waite's administration, a lengthy protest was presented, and that board refused the application. In the application which was received yesterday Crossthwaite writes that everybody is against him getting his freedom. He says Judge Stevens swore he would hang him, but was later forced by Governor Cooper to sign the petition for commutation. That when his case was carried to Mr. Waite, Fitz Mac and his gang met Crossthwaite's friends at the Capitol and served papers on them enjoining them from interfering. He says if he committed murder it was in defense of his home. Crossthwaite and Johnson had been mining at Ouray and occupied a cabin together. One night when the weather was bad Johnson returned to the cabin with a couple of friends to give them a night's lodging. To gain admission Johnson had to break open the door, as Crossthwaite would not admit them. A quarrel ensued during which Crossthwaite caught Johnson by the throat, bent him backward over a stove and shot him in the abdomen. Claimed Self Defense Crossthwaite also contends that Johnson and his party meant to not only seize his cabin but jump his mining claim. In substantiation of his defense on the insanity proposition Crossthwaite attaches to his application the drawing of a nut lock and bracket, which he has invented during his imprisonment.

Rocky Mountain News 3-27-1889 He Will Not Swing Governor Cooper Commutes the Sentence of Death Passed on Charles H. Crosthwaite The Ouray Homicide to Spend the Remainder of His Life in the Insane Asylum Story of the Crime, Conviction and Efforts to Save the Prisoner from the Gallows Governor Cooper has commuted the sentence of Charles H. Crosthwaite from death to imprisonment for life. The crime for which the highest penalty was pronounced upon him was the cold-blooded murder of his partner in a petty dispute over a mining claim near Ouray. At the time of the trial it was shown that Crosthwaite was of an extremely vicious and quarrelsome disposition, and that he had upon several occasions attempted to make murderous attacks upon various persons. The evidence was quite clear that the murder of his partner was unprovoked and had been committed in a most cowardly way. The feeling in the district was so strongly against him on account of his bad record that it manifested itself in the court room, especially when the verdict was rendered by the jury. Opinion was unanimous that justice had been done and that he was undeserving of any sympathy. Trying To Save The Prisoner Crosthwaite was sentenced to be hanged upon January 25, but before that date representations that the man was insane were made to Governor Cooper by the officials of the court which tried him and by the sheriff who had him in charge, as well as by Dr. Edson of this city, who had previously treated Crosthwaite and was satisfied that his mind was unbalanced. The sheriff and jailers were led to this change of opinion by observing the conduct of the condemned man while in their charge, which plainly showed that he could not control his actions and was, in fact, utterly crazy. Acting upon this advice the governor granted a reprieve until March 29. Investigations have since been made which place the man's insanity beyond the possibility of a doubt, and make it clear that he has been a lunatic at large for many years. The governor has therefore exerted his official prerogative, and Crosthwaite will pass the rest of his life behind the bars of an insane asylum. The unfortunate man is a member of a very respectable family in the East and was a classmate of Senator Oliver and Dr. Edson at the United States naval academy. A G.A.R. post in Indiana is named after his father, who was colonel of an Indiana regiment and a close friend of Senator Luce and John C. New. The members of the Indiana legislature also petitioned Governor Cooper in his favor.

Central City Weekly Register-Call 4-5-1889 Governor Cooper has commuted the sentence of death passed on Charles H. Crosthwaite, the Ouray killer, and he will pass the remainder of his days in the insane asylum at Pueblo. Crosthwaite is well known in Central, where he formerly resided.

Eagle County Blade 5-23-1901 Is Badly Scared Tuesday Town Marshall Houseman received a hurry up message from the conductor of Rio Grande train No. 4 to meet the train at Red Cliff and take charge of an insane man. The marshal responded, followed by the undersheriff. When the train came in it took the combined efforts of the officers and those of James Morford and Gordon Roberts to handle the man. He seemed to be possessed of an hallucination that somebody was after him (which was not entirely an hallucination at that time) and fought and yelled desperately. Before town was reached he had quieted and appeared to be all right. He was released and told to go on his way which he promised to do. He did not get away Wednesday, however, and was seen in town yet this morning. He is undoubtedly off, and at times imagines he is pursued. He says his name is John Crow, son of William and Mary Crow, of 2227 Oregon avenue, St. Louis. When apparently rational he does not seem to be able to explain his actions, only by saying that he was awfully scared. For a couple of days before the Red Cliff officers got him he went through about the same performance at Minturn.

Eagle County Blade 2-9-1899 E. E. Crowley, the insane patient from Ruedi, and C. W. Linsley, one of his attendants, had a set-to the other day in the cabin where he is confined, and Mr. Linsley was obliged to use some violence in subduing the deranged man. Crowley is tied by one ankle to the wall with a rope which is long enough to allow him some exercise. Unknown to the guard he got a piece of zinc (?) from the matting about the stove and cut himself loose. When Mr. Linsley undertook to confine him again the patient stoutly resisted. Crowley claims that Linsley abused him unnecessarily, but Sheriff Fleck says the patient was not seriously hurt and believes that some force was necessary on that occasion to control the demented man.

Rocky Mountain Sun 1-21-1899 His Immense Wealth Last Tuesday afternoon Deputy Sheriff J. G. Ould received a telegram from Ed Cleary to come at once to Ruedi and get an insane man. Mr. Ould left on No. 38 at 3 p.m. and was soon at the home of E. E. Crowley, up the gulch to the north from Ruedi, Mr. Crowley being the unfortunate sufferer. His family and friends had observed for some days that his mind was unbalanced. Visions of fabulous wealth seemed to rise before him continually. He imagined he was making $173,000,000 per day. He said he had 10,000 men and 250,000 teams at work getting out mining timbers, and that he needed more teams and harness. Deputy Sheriff Ould was introduced to him as a horse dealer in Leadville and an agent for G. W. Lancaster, a harness dealer. Mr. Crowley readily consented to accompany Mr. Ould to Leadville to look over his stock. Once on the train that night bound for Leadville, visions of immense railways rose before him. He decided to build a line from Grand Junction to New York and make a rate of 50 cents fare. He would make H. H. McCarty engineer on the head end of a three engine train and pay him $250,000 per month. Pug Gilbert was to be president and Deputy Sheriff Ould manager of the great international railway. Mr. Ould was met at Leadville by Sheriff Fleck who took the unfortunate man to Red Cliff, where he will be tried in the county court for insanity. Basalt Journal.

Crowley has been acting queerly for some time and Sheriff Fleck arrested him and brought him to the county seat early last week, charges of lunacy having been preferred. The unfortunate man seems totally daft and though not violent is wholly irresponsible. Application was made for his admittance to the state asylum, but word has been received that that institution is occupied to its full capacity. The insane man is being detained in Red Cliff in the custody of two guards, and the officials are considerably puzzled as to what disposition can be made of him.

Rocky Mountain News 4-11-1890 Freaks of Insanity Albert D. Warner is an old gentleman, some 70 years old, who solemnly swore in the presence of six jurors in the county court yesterday that he is now in his 17th year. But he is a lunatic. The old fellow was before the county court for an investigation as to his mental condition. He has been a charge of the county for a year and a half, rusticating at the poor farm, but of late has developed a violent disposition at times. Dr. Eskridge was examined and stated that Warner was suffering from dementia, was dominated by delusions and if the idea seized him he would just as soon kill a man as not. The old fellow looked as if he hadn't the strength to slaughter a mouse. On being placed on the stand he did not seem to know much about anything except that he was an intimate friend of Martin Van Buren, wasn't just sure whether he was his brother, but could prove that Martin and he were cronies and most intimate in former times. He was adjudged insane, but did not seem to appreciate his position in the faintest way. Hans Anderson, a colored boy, was also declared of unsound mind, principally on the testimony of his father, who said his son had been acting queer of late and imagining all sorts of things into his erratic brain; thought people were going to poison him, etc. A brighter streak of human affairs appeared before the court later, when Thomas F. Crowley, formerly a lunatic, was present to show that he had recovered his reason. The doctors at the asylum give it as their opinion that he was no longer dangerous to himself or anyone else. He was accordingly discharged.

Denver Evening Post 12-21-1896 A Pitiable Scene Occurred in the County Court in a Lunacy Trial Two cases of lunacy were tried before Judge Steele this morning Ione Dustin, a woman about 50 years of age, and George Crozin, a young man who showed no apparent indications that he was afflicted with loss of mind. The two were both in the court room and showed a marked contrast as to manias. The Dustin woman was a good looking woman, well dressed, but wild with laughter at one interval and anger at the next. Crozin was quiet and docile and appeared to be greatly humiliated because the crazy woman would insist upon talking to him. You act like you were paying an election bet, said the woman to Crozin during one of her merry moments. He looked up, scowled as if resentful of the accusation, even in his condition, and replied: No, mam! No, mam! I ain't either. An elderly lady who came in and who appeared to be an acquaintance of the unfortunate woman, was the victim of wrath that caused consternation in the court room. The woman fairly stormed curses of the vilest kind were mingled with hisses, while her eyes shot forth a defiance that was more than horrible. It was necessary for the kindly neighbor who had called to console her to take a seat in another part of the room before the crazy woman would be quieted. In a brief moment her demeanor had changed and she was importuning an attorney to telephone for a handkerchief for her. Then her attention was attracted to her own name as it appeared on the court bulletin board and she was again in the throes of anger that knew no bounds. An innocent sponge that had been carelessly dropped at the foot of the board became the victim of her wrath and for a period of about five minutes it was the gayest thing in the court room. Every time she came within kicking distance of it she kicked it and when the court bailiff interfered his presence seemed to be a joke and again she took a jolly view of life. Poor Crozin watched her incantations and peculiar actions with an evident feeling of disgust and would not sit in the seat beside her where the bailiff had assigned him to a seat
George Crozin is the man mentioned in The Post some time ago as having lost his mind while in the county jail, incarcerated on the charge of vagrancy. Before entering that place his mind was apparently sound, but brooding over the fact that he had been placed in jail for the crime of being out of money and out of employment seemed to disarm him. He was also adjudged insane.

Rocky Mountain News 6-8-1894 Suicide in a Cell Attempt of an Insane Patient to Kill Himself While Occupying a Berth in the Hospital of the City Jail He Had a Knife Concealed J. B. Cummings made a desperate attempt to commit suicide in the hospital of the city jail yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. He was arrested at Sixteenth and Wazee streets at 12:40 o'clock. He acted queerly at this point and raised a disturbance. At the station he was thoroughly searched, as is the custom. Sergeant Keane went through his clothes and found two letters, one addressed to Judge Glynn and the other to Mrs. Treatment. He was put into the hospital and at 1:30 Mrs. Frincke, matron of the union depot, passed the door and saw the man struggling in a corner, his face covered with blood. She notified Jailer Hugh Smith and he immediately unlocked the door. As he entered the prisoner threw the knife at his head, but Smith dodged and the weapon rattled against the iron bars of the door. Cummings was lying upon the floor. What have you stabbed yourself for? asked Smith. I would sooner die this way than have them assassinate me, answered the man. Sergeant Keane entered and Smith asked the officer the reason he allowed the man to carry a knife into his cell. Keane answered that he searched the man thoroughly. I was too smart for you both, cried the injured man. I carried the knife in my shoe. Dr. Wheeler, police surgeon, found that Cummings had inflicted seven wounds upon himself. There were four cuts above his heart, his scalp was cut and his throat lacerated. He had taken off his collar and necktie before the attempt. He was well dressed and of powerful build. On an envelope addressed to Mrs. E. P. Bradshaw, Winona, Kan., was written: My Darling Anna (meaning his wife): In one moment more I die. Say good-bye to ---. The names were illegible, the scrap of paper being half covered with blood. On another slip he wrote: Crescent lodge, No. 38 I die innocent. The crime was not in me. John B. Cummings. The last slip bore the words: George R. Weir, this cane. The patient was removed to St. Luke's hospital and it was the opinion of the surgeon that he could not survive.

Clark, June 14, but Dr. Thombs' record does not show that they were ever received there. In checking the bills it was found that few of the dates agreed with the prison records as to date of removal of patients, in some cases the difference being as great as two weeks. No bills were in the possession of the committee for transferring Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. Walin. Hart and Clarke appear in the bill as escaped lunatics.

Colorado Transcript 10-17-1912 A particularly sad lunacy case was tried in the county court yesterday morning. Miss Emma Cycler being the one to be tried as to her sanity. The girl is about twenty years of age, and appears to be hopelessly insane. It is feared that she will become violent and has been taken from her home near Morrison to the court house, where she is kept pending the trial under the care of Sheriff Dennis. Miss Cycler was caught in the flood in Bear creek a few years ago and barely escaped with her life. It is believed her harrowing experience at that time caused her mind to be weakened. The unfortunate girl was sent to the asylum at Pueblo.
