Aspen Democrat 1-19-1911 Pueblo, Jan 19 - Harvey A Daggett, aged 51, a patient at the state insane asylum, committed suicide by hanging some time last night. The body was found by one of the guards at daylight this morning. Daggett leaves a wife in Pueblo. He had been an inmate of the asylum for a year and considered harmless. Plotting his death he tore a bed sheet into long strips and tied the ends together. He then placed a noose about his neck, climbed to the window sill and fastening the other end to a bar overheard, jumped off.

Denver Evening Post 5-23-1899 The Egoism of the Paranoiac Mrs. Carrie Dailey has been adjudged insane and Judge Steele and his family may rest free from the fear of the judge being shot by the woman or the members of his family being assaulted; poisoned or frightfully injured by vitriol. Any of these things, physicians on the witness stand, said Mrs. Dailey might and would probably do if unconfined, and they held her to be a menace. They also said she was incurable and ought to be put out of reach of doing harm. They gave an interesting account of how a single idea may dominate a person, rendering him or her so irresponsible and dangerous that immurement was a public necessity. Mrs. Dailey is the divorced wife of Henry Dailey and is under 40 years of age. She was well dressed in court and appeared perfectly rational, taking great interest in the proceedings that were to declare her mentally unsound. When she obtained her divorce she secured alimony, but this she was unable to collect from Dailey, who has some money and property. She asked the court to enforce its orders in this respect and Judge Steele sent Dailey to jail. He said he would rather rot there than pay her, was hauled up for contempt, denied having made the remark, was let out of jail, put in again, and altogether had a very hot time with his former wife, who, by the way, was his second. All this time Mrs. Dailey was persecuting Judge Steele with interviews and letters, and it is clear now, brooding over fancied wrongs. Finally the judge let Dailey out of jail. This enraged Mrs. Dailey. She said she would be avenged on the judge and one Saturday night in April she took the first step to carry out her threats. She went to his house on Eleventh avenue and broke several of the expensive plate glass windows in the residence by hurling pop bottles and stones into them. The rocks bore newspaper clippings telling of her alimony troubles. Next day Mrs. Dailey gave herself up to the police, saying she had done the window breaking. Up to that time the police had been in ignorance of the culprit. Yesterday Judge Jacobs of Weld county presided for Judge Steele, who was the prosecuting witness against Mrs. Dailey. Judge Steele testified about the divorce case and the alimony and what he had done to help the woman. But she had appeared before him again and again until she became a nuisance. She had charged him with neglect of duty and no explanation would satisfy her. She made threats and sought to enlist the service of others to help her. Finally came the window smashing incident. Dr. Eskridge testified as an expert in mental and nervous diseases. He said that he had examined Mrs. Dailey and had found her dominated by egoism. He declared that she was afflicted with paranoia. Her heart is on one subject, he said, and she will not reason on the subject. It is all due to her intense egoism. Her memory is remarkably good for details, but that is a characteristic with people afflicted with paranoia. They remember the slightest thing in connection with the subject that dominates their mind although their memory may not be so good in other lines. The disease is not likely to pass away and will grow. At the present she fancies she must persecute Judge Steele, who she imagines has not done her justice, but after this her mania is likely to include hatred of Mr. Ward and Mr. McKinley for prosecuting her here, and her hatred is likely to include all the witnesses, including myself. She would not hesitate to sacrifice Judge Steele's family. She told me that she felt sorry for Judge Steele's wife, but that she found it necessary to revenge herself upon him. She might kill him by shooting him or shoot his family or poison them or throw vitriol. She threw stones to attract public attention. That is a part of the mania, the egoism that wants to figure in the newspapers. Yet her physical condition is perfect. It is usually so with insane people of her kind. You might not know that she was insane for months. Adroitness might cause her to conceal her absorbing sole idea but when you once heard it you are undeceived and perceive what a danger she is. What are the chances of correcting this disposition? the doctor was asked. Not one in a thousand, was the reply. She will never be well again. Supposing she got the alimony she desires, would that alter her disposition? She would then say that now she was certain that Judge Steele had done the wrong and was paying to get out of it. All the more justification she had for revenge. It would make matters worse. Dr. Pershing testified to the same effect. Other testimony showed that Mrs. Dailey has been accustomed to make out mortgages on personal property she had in her maiden name, and in two weeks make out a mortgage on the same property in her married name. Marked uncertainty of mind had been noticed by these practices. Letters also were read in which she threatened Attorney Benson with vitriol. Attorney Thomas Ward, on the witness stand said, that Mrs. Dailey had gone to him for advice and he had told her that if she felt she could get no justice from Judge Steele there were other judges she could apply to. She had answered: No; Judge Steele has got me into this box and I am going to take it out of him. Mrs. Dailey told an incoherent tale on the stand and when the jury adjudged her insane she wept bitterly.

Leadville Daily Herald 3-16-1884 Verification of Previous Statements Concerning the Outrage Daly Suffered at the Hands of His Conservator To the Editor of the Herald: In the Democrat of March, there appears an article headed Not Robbed of His Rights. Daly's Claim Denied in to by Mr. Thomas Walsh. The Plaintiff's Claim Disappears Before the Sworn Answer of the Principal Defendant. Justice to Mr. Daly demands that some notice should be taken of the many false statements contained in the article. The facts are these: On the ---- day of April, 1883, an inquisition was held in the probate court of this county and Mr. Daly was adjudged insane. Thomas Walsh was appointed conservator of his estate. Mr. Daly had been laboring under a severe sickness and was in ill health for a long time prior thereto, and had become so reduced in bodily strength as to be totally unable to take care of himself. His physical infirmities had become transmitted to his mind until his mental and physical condition was alike deplorable, and it was believed by his friends, and the physicians who attended him, that he could not long survive. At the time he was declared insane he was owner of the undivided one-fourth interest in and to the Gunnison lode, and an undivided three sixteenths interest in and to the Castle View lode mining claims, both of which interests were quite valuable. That in addition to this he should at that time have had several thousand dollars on deposit in the Bank of Leadville. That as soon as Mr. Walsh was appointed conservator, Mr. Daly was removed to the hospital at Denver, where he remained until the first of October, 1883, at which time Mr. Walsh sent Mr. Costello to Denver to bring Mr. Daly back to Leadville for the purpose of having him declared sane. He had then greatly recovered in health, but was still so feeble that it was impossible for him to travel alone, and when brought here from Denver he had to be brought in charge of a nurse. It is true that on the third day of October 1883, a jury was empanelled in the county court which declared Mr. Daly sane, but his condition at that time was such that he has not now, nor never has had, any recollection of that proceeding. He was kept here for a few days and returned to Denver. While he was here he signed a deed conveying all of his property to said Walsh to hold in trust for him. This fact he only knows from hearsay. Mr. Walsh swears that Mr. Daly made this deed to him for the purpose of placing his property beyond the reach of his creditors and then authorized Walsh to sell it for a sum less than he, Walsh, claims to have sold it for, and that Daly afterwards ratified that sale. This statement is unqualifiedly false. As soon as Daly ascertained that the deed had been made to Walsh, and had so far recovered his mind as to understand that fact, he demanded reconveyance of all of his property to himself. Walsh objected to reconvey the property, on the ground that the Bank of Leadville claimed that Daly was indebted to it on an overdraft of about five thousand dollars, and that if the property was in Daly's name the bank would seize it. Daly said emphatically that if he owed the bank anything, he wanted to pay it; that he wanted his property in his own name, and would not place himself in the position of disposing of his property with intent to defraud his creditors. Early in January 1884 (?), Daly came to Leadville, and as soon as his mind had sufficiently recovered so that he understood what he was doing, he demanded of Walsh a reconveyance of all of his property. Walsh assured him that he could obtain a reconveyance of the interest in the Gunnison mine, and promised to do so from day to day until a short time before the suit was brought, when Daly ascertained that the interest had been conveyed as alleged in his complaint. The facts with reference to the Bank of Leadville are these: In 1884 (1881?) Daly sold to George R. Fisher and others one-tenth interest in the New York mine for eight thousand dollars, twenty-five hundred of which was paid in cash and the balance in notes. At that time he was in debt to the Bank of Leadville in the sum of five-hundred dollars. This amount he paid, and deposited the remaining two thousand dollars in cash and the notes with George R. Fisher, in the Bank of Leadville. From that time until the time he was declared insane he had drawn his check upon said bank from time to time, and they had always been honored, and he supposed that the notes had been collected and placed to his credit, and never knew nor had any intimation before his mind became so impaired, that such was not the case, nor did he ascertain or know anything about it until within the two months last past, and since he has recovered his mind. Mr. Walsh as his conservator, was notified that Daly had an overdraft in the bank of something over five thousand dollars immediately after his appointment as such conservator, but notwithstanding he was familiar with all of the facts, having sold an interest in the said New York mine to the same parties at the same time that Mr. Daly made his sale, and knowing that Daly had left the notes and money on deposit in the bank, yet for some cause he neglected to take any steps to secure Daly's rights but let the matter rest until the bank failed. Since Daly found that Walsh could not reconvey to him his interest in the Gunnison mine he demanded from Walsh a settlement, and the return to him of all his papers and effects. Mr. Walsh still retains in his possession the principal part of the private papers and books of Mr. Daly in which are entered the memoranda and accounts of his business transactions for the several years last past and from which Walsh ascertained of what Mr. Daly's estate consisted. Mr. Daly has been and is being greatly embarrassed in the settlement of his affairs by reason of the failure and refusal of Walsh to surrender to him those papers and books. Mr. Walsh also conveyed to Mrs. Costello an undivided one-twentieth of the Castle View lode, which belonged to Mr. Daly, for the consideration of fifty dollars, an interest that was worth not less than seven thousand five hundred dollars at the time of the conveyance, and now claims that Daly authorized him to make that conveyance, a fact of itself which if true, should have taught Mr. Walsh that Daly had not recovered his senses and was not capable of transacting business. This interest still stands in the name of Mrs. Costello and Daly has been compelled to bring an action to recover it. By the negligence of Walsh in not settling with the Bank of Leadville at the proper time, Daly's interests have not only been embarrassed, but he is in great danger of losing the said $2,000 deposited in said bank, and the amount of his said notes amounting in all to about $7,500, less a few hundred dollars drawn out by him before he became insane. Mr. Walsh says the interest in the Gunnison mine is not worth more than the sum of $4,500, the amount of which Walsh sold it to Hugh McDonald. We cannot state positively as to its value, but Mr. Daly is not willing to sell it for less than $10,000, and before he lost his reason had made a contract of sale for the interest for the sum of $10,000, and had executed a bond for the same, which bond was on record at the time of the sale by said Walsh to said McDonald and was in full force, and would not expire before the first day of March, 1884, before which date Mr. Crane, the obligee in said bond, demanded a deed for said interest and tendered to Mr. Daly the amount of the consideration therefore, ten thousand dollars. That Daly was prevented from making said deed by reason of Walsh's conveyance to said McDonald. That as far as the sale of this interest by McDonald to Starr and Starr to Given is concerned, the facts are stated in Daly's complaint. They all had full notice of Daly's rights and these conveyances were simply made for the purpose of preventing him from recovering the interest. We can see little that was satisfactory in the management of Daly's affairs by Mr. Walsh, unless it be a satisfaction for Daly to have lost in the short space of five months that Walsh acted as his conservator, two-thirds of all he was worth. It would be well before publishing such articles for the purpose of moulding public opinion, to know the facts. Taylor & Ashton, Attorneys for Mr. Daly.

Leadville Daily Herald 3-25-1884 Sues For Damages Wants His Mine Back Suit has just been begun by Jeremiah Daly against Thomas F. Walsh and Mary Anne Costello to recover a three-sixteenths interest in the Castle View lode. He claims that on the fifth day of October he conveyed this interest to Walsh for $5,000, but that he was insane and not responsible for his actions, and doubts if the consideration was ever paid, and that on the eighth of October Walsh delivered to Mary Anne Costello a one-twentieth interest, for which he claims to have received $500, but plaintiff believes that $50 was all that was paid. He claims now to be perfectly sane, and asks that the property be restored to him.

Leadville Daily Herald 5-18-1884 Court Clippings The following cases were disposed of in the District court yesterday: 2588 In the matter of the appointment of George W. Trimble, receiver of the Bank of Leadville. Mr. Joseph W. Taylor presented the petition of Jeremiah Daly for an order of the court upon the receiver to pay him the sum of $648.75, the amount of a promissory note collected by the receiver which, as he claims, said receiver had no right to collect. The receiver, by Colonel J. R. Bissell, opposed the motion on the ground that Daly owed the bank a large sum of money on account of an overdraft. The court stated that it could not decide the matter, being controverted upon the petition and affidavits, but that there should be an issue formed by regular pleadings. The plaintiff was given leave to reply to the answer of the receiver by Monday morning, the receiver, by his counsel waiving services of summons, and the matter was then referred to Charles Cavender to hear the testimony in the case and report to the court upon the law and facts with all convenient speed.

Aspen Tribune 11-30-1897 Emulator of Luetgert Denver Hotel Runner Becomes Insane and Wants to Kill His Family And Then Creamate Them Too Close Application to the Sausage Maker's Trial It Is Said Made Him Crazy Denver, Nov. 29. John H. Dane, until recently a hotel runner, was arrested by Police Sergeant Heinig and Officer Holland at noon today and locked up in the city jail on the charge of insanity. He read the testimony of the witnesses in the Leutgert murder trial in Chicago and became possessed of a frenzy to kill his wife and two children and burn their bodies in the old city garbage crematory. He is undoubtedly insane. On Friday morning last Dane's hallucination reached a dangerous climax and ever since then his family has lived in constant terror of their lives. Arising from his bed that morning he paid a visit to the crematory, which has long been in disuse. Returning to the house about an hour later he said to his wife: I have made arrangements to start the fires at once. I will follow in the footsteps of the great Luetgert. I will vindicate his name. You and the children may prepare for death at once. Dane remained in a very morose state of mind until morning and all efforts of his wife and children to sooth him were unavailing. This morning Mrs. Dane noticed that her husband frequently tested the edge of an axe which lay in the coal shed at the rear of the house. She asked him why he did so and he replied: If the fires are not soon lighted in the factory I shall use some other means to put you and your children out of your misery. Thoroughly alarmed at this insane threat Mrs. Dane watched her opportunity and about noon smuggled her children out of the house to the home of a neighbor. The neighbor at once notified the police. When Sergeant Heinig and Officer Holland arrived at 20 Argo street they found Dane strutting about the yard with the axe over his shoulder and glancing threateningly in the direction of the crematory. He made no resistence to arrest, merely saying: You have come in time; in another hour I should have done the deed. At the city jail Dane was locked up in a dark cell. His wife will probably file an insanity complaint against him in the district court. He is about 35 years of age and his two children are aged 5 and 2 years.

Denver Evening Post 11-29-1897 Crazy Over Luetgert Case Jackson Dame Wanted to Make Sausage Meat of His Family Denver came near having a second addition to the Luetgert murder. Jackson Dame, a hotel runner, attempted to make sausage out of his wife and two children, and had it not been for the arrival of the police he would have, at least, committed murder. Dame works for the Park hotel, a rooming house near the depot, and lives with his wife and two children at No. 20 Argyle street. On Friday he became queer, and in conversation with his wife concerning the guilt or innocence of Luetgert he jumped up and exclaimed: By heavens, he was right. All women should be made into sausage and so ought their kids. I'll make sausage of you and the kids, too. With these remarks he grabbed his wife by the arm, but he seemed to realize what he was doing, and released her, saying he only did it to frighten her. She noticed a dazed expression in his eyes, and after getting him to lie down on the bed she took the children to a neighbor's house for protection, remaining there herself over the night. On Saturday Mrs. Dame returned home with her children and she found her husband unmistakably insane. Before she could do anything Dame forced his wife and children into a room and sat by the door all that night. At short intervals he would kick on the door and shout to the trembling woman that he was going in to Luetgert you all. The poor woman and the children remained in the room all night, expecting every moment that the husband and father would enter and slaughter them all. When daylight came Mrs. Dame raised the window and placed the children safely on the ground and then slid from the window herself. She grabbed the children in her arms and ran to a neighbor's, where she told of what he occurred. The neighbors told her that her husband was only crazed from drink and induced her to go back to her home. Dame seemed much better on Sunday and at first talked rationally to his wife. Later he had only watched the door so Luetgert could not get in and kill them all. By this Mrs. Dame knew that he had not recovered, but she trusted that he would grow no worse. Last night he again said he would make sausage meat of his family and started out to look for an ax. While he was gone the wife and children again left the house and again the neighbors sheltered them. The husband returned with the weapon and when he did not find his family he began to cut up the furniture. The police were notified and an officer sent to the place, but Dame was gone. This morning a telephone message reached the police stating that a crazy man is going to kill the whole neighborhood, near Nineteenth and New Haven streets. Sergeant Heinig and Officer Holland went to the place and found Dame with a large club battering down his own door. When he saw the officers in uniform he began marching and performing military tactics. He wanted to drill the officers, but was taken to the station without any trouble. There he insisted on the jailer taking the thirty-third degree in Masonry. He will be sent to the county hospital and later be examined for commitment to the asylum for insane.

Rocky Mountain News 11-30-1897 Would Put His Wife in a Vat Student of Luetgert Case Threatens to Kill His Entire Family John H. Dame of 20 Argo street, runner at the Western hotel, has become suddenly insane over the Luetgert murder case, and as his wife feared that he would make an attempt in a fit of frenzy to kill his family he was taken into custody by the police yesterday morning. I can unravel the Luetgert mystery and explain everything in connection with it, he said. Mrs. Luetgert is alive and I can find her. I will not tell a word, though, if I'm not paid for it. You've got to show me I'm from Missouri. Dame's incarceration at the jail had a sobering effect, and early in the afternoon he was released on recommendation of Police Surgeon Dulin. About 7 p.m. the police were again called to the home of Dame. He had been harping on the Luetgert case in a way that frightened his wife so badly that she sought shelter at the home of a neighbor. Detectives Burlew, McNeil and Sparhawk were sent out in the patrol wagon to capture the hotel runner, and they found him lying in his bed, attired in his every-day clothes and covered up with several blankets and quilts. He was told that the police surgeon wanted to see him, and he followed the officers without argument to the wagon and rode to jail. You can try all you want to get this secret out of me, he said, but I won't give up. If you take me and butcher me I'll certainly resist. You can't send an innocent man to the gallows. Now if you want to know about Luetgert you've got to show me. He was induced to step into the hospital ward to wait for the doctor, and after the door had been locked his actions showed beyond all doubt that his brain was affected. He stood in the middle of the floor, rolled a paper into a cube, and fixing an eye to one end of the arrangement gave orders in stentorian tones to the imaginary troops. Battalion right! he yelled, Battalion left! Charge! Halt! while he followed each movement of his phantom army through his trusty field glass. Dame's insane notions were observed by his wife during the latter part of last week. On Saturday night he locked the woman and her children in a room and told them that rather than lose them he would dispose of them as Luetgert had disposed of his wife. Early Sunday morning Mrs. Dame and her little ones escaped through a window. The hotel runner has been a close reader of the Luetgert case, and he has paid such close attention to every horrifying detail of the affair that his own mind could not bear the strain. He is constantly talking of the fate of the unfortunate Mrs. Luetgert, yet he insists that she is still alive and that her husband is innocent of the charge brought against him. He has lived in Denver about fifteen years.

Denver Evening Post 11-30-1897 Dame Sees Mrs. Luetgert The Insane Hotel Runner Thinks Emma Oleson is the Sausage Maker's Wife There's Mrs. Luetgert. I knew she was not dead. Give me that knife and I'll make sausage of her. To hell with women anyway; they all ought to be killed. There she goes. Don't let her hide from me until I can show that Luetgert did not do his duty. Let me out of here. Emma Oleson, alias Timberlake, had just passed the cell in the city jail where John A. Dame, known also as Jackson Dame, was confined for lunacy, when the above rang through the corridor of the jail. Emma Oleson, of whom the insane man was talking, bears a striking resemblance to Mrs. Luetgert, with the exception that she is about nine inches taller and weighs several pounds more than the Chicago woman. When the words were uttered Emma Oleson turned deathly pale and hurried down the corridor. She seemed glad when the keys turned in the lock that separated her from the main corridor. Dame has been insane since Friday and on several different occasions has attempted to kill his wife and family. His intentions would undoubtedly have been carried out had he not told his wife what he was about to do, which gave her a chance to escape with her children. Yesterday he told her that he was going for an ax to chop her and the children into sausage meat. While he was gone the wife grabbed up her children and ran to a neighbor's and Dame returned and broke up the furniture with the weapon he had secured to kill his family. The police were sent for and Dame was taken to jail. Dame quieted down yesterday afternoon and the wife, not liking to see her husband behind the bars, made a pitiful plea to Police Surgeon Dulin, who recommended his release. When Dame got home he became violent again and insisted to his wife that Luetgert was innocent of the murder and that the sausage maker had not done his duty. I will do it if Luetgert didn't, he roared, as he grabbed his 3-year-old child and threw it on the bed. Then he lay down and fondled the child while he kept telling it of how he would kill it, and that God would give it a nicer home than papa could. The wife ran screaming to a neighbor's house and the police were again called. Detectives Burlew, McNeill and Sparhawk hurried to the scene in the patrol wagon. They placed the insane man under arrest without any trouble and took him back to jail. All night long Dame raved and talked of Luetgert and always protested that the sausage-maker was innocent of the crime of killing his wife. He seemed exceptionally harsh against women and vowed he would cut them all up when he was released from jail. After his threats against Emma Oleson the other prisoners grew desperately afraid of him and begged the jailer to lock him up where they could not hear his ravings. County Physician Clark examined Dame this morning and ordered him sent to the county hospital. Officer Nathan Hunter was detailed to take Dame from the jail to the ambulance. On the way the insane man jumped on the officer, threw him down and was ready to strike him when Officer Hunt went to Hunter's rescue. Dame was handcuffed and landed in the hospital without further trouble.

Rocky Mountain News 12-1-1897 Thought He Looked Like Luetgert So a Maniac Driven Insane by the Noted Case Knocked a Policeman Down Policeman Hunter bears no likeness to the published portraits of Luetgert, the Chicago wife slayer, but to the fuddled brain of John Dame, who is a Luetgert crazy, there appeared a resemblance, and yesterday morning the officer was attacked by the lunatic at the city jail and almost knocked out. Dame's effort to fathom the Luetgert mystery has cost him his reason. At times he insists that the sausage maker is innocent, and again he declares that Luetgert is the arch fiend of the century. Finally he lost his mental balance and talked so much about dead people and vats and sausage around his home that his wife became frightened and called the police. He was arrested Monday and spent the night in the hospital ward of the city jail, beating the bars with his fists, yelling commands at an imaginary army and rattling off meaningless arguments on the Luetgert case. He caught sight of a prisoner named Anne Olson yesterday morning and created a big racket. He declared that Annie was beyond doubt the lost Mrs. Luetgert, and that if she only telegraphed to Chicago the sausage maker would be forthwith discharged from custody. About 11 o'clock it was decided to send the insane prisoner to the county hospital. Policemen Hunter and Hunt, Ambulance Driver Biehl, Surgeon Miller and Jailer Lausten entered the hospital ward. The jailer stepped out of the apartment to get another prisoner who was to be sent to the hospital, and left the other officers in charge of Dame. The latter cast his eyes on Patrolman Hunter. That officer stood with his hands in his pockets sizing up the prisoner. Well, partner, said Hunter, everything is all right. We'll take good care of you. There's no occasion to get excited. Dame cast a wicked look at Hunter and then deliberately struck him a blow that landed him on the iron cot several feet away. The maniac rushed about the ward, yelling in a voice that could be heard a block away that he had found Luetgert, the murderer, and he started for Hunter again. Strong hands stopped his rush and he was held till the ambulance drove up to the door to carry him away. On the way to the hospital he tried two or three times to start a fight, but on each occasion was soothed by kind words. At the hospital he was locked up in a strong cell. It was reported last night that he had been giving the attendants no trouble.

Aspen Weekly Times 5-5-1888 Local and Personal Detective DeLue arrived from Denver Sunday with a warrant for Frank Green, charging him with fraud. Under Sheriff Calvin went to Ashcroft and arrested Green, and DeLue left for Denver on the noon train with his prisoner. The warrant is founded upon some alleged fraudulent money transaction, but the most serious charge against Green is one of having conspired with a woman to drug and rob a man named Damson. The drug set the victim crazy and he has just been released from the insane asylum after a confinement of nine months.

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
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: Mrs. Lucy Darnell

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
Women Without Minds In the ward, Lucy Darnell looked furtively over her shoulder as the door opened, apparently afraid of her life
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.

He does not anticipate any trouble with him, but does not propose to take any chances. He ironed him before he started. Davis did not want to go and thought that his friends here ought to interfere. About eighteen months ago Mr. Hooper had a thrilling experience with a lunatic whom he was taking to the asylum. The man was named Hart. They had proceeded as far as Pueblo and were going out to the asylum in a cab. Suddenly the madman jumped upon his keeper and commenced to choke him. In a moment Mr. Hooper discovered that the fellow had hold of his gun and was pulling it from the scabbard. A desperate struggle ensued and the insane man was not conquered until the driver stopped his team and came to the officer's assistance. At the asylum Hart told the keeper that he meant to have killed the deputy sheriff if he had gotten the gun. Frank discovered his attempt just in time to save his life. He takes no more chances.

Central City Daily Register-Call 8-21-1880 Pitiable Case of Insanity The Boulder News and Courier thus speaks of the insanity of a former resident of Central City, the accident which produced the derangement of mind having occurred while he was engaged in mining on Gunnell hill: A pitiable case of insanity came to light on Tuesday on a trial before Judge North, which established beyond doubt that Leander Davis was of unsound mind. The facts are briefly told, as follows: Something less than two years ago, while welding together two pieces of steel, the borax and fragments of steel flew into his eyes, completely destroying his sight. Thus disabled from a life of activity, and compelled to sit and think, his mind, naturally weak, took a delusion, which led him to imagine that he was appointed to solve the last three signs in Masonry. For over a year he has been hugging (?) this delusion, and, being passive, but little attention was paid him. About a month ago, however, he became rampant and began to be difficult to control, and Tuesday his father brought him to town and filed a complaint of insanity. The usual ten days was waived, a jury summoned, and the testimony of the father and son taken. The testimony of the latter was so incoherent and so established the complaint, that a verdict of insanity was given without delay, and the man was turned over to the tender mercies of Dr. Ambrook and the county.

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.

15 March 1901 New Castle Nonpareil, Sheriff Adams came down yesterday to summon a jury to sit in the case inquiring into the sanity of R.M. Davis and summoned the following: George Norris, Wm. Bradley, G.L.Noren and Wm Pearson. The trial was had before Judge Beardsley in the county court and Drs. Hotopp, Crook and Dean were the witnesses. The inquiry developed that Dick had threatened certain persons in New Castle, telling he would fix them if he ever got down there. He reiterated this statement in open court and, it is fair to presume, it was not without its influence on the jury. They found him to be a person to whom it would not be safe to give liberty and he was taken to the state insane asylum at Pueblo today. Nearly everyone is familiar with the accident that happened to Dick nearly two years ago, when his injuries were of such a nature that the doctors said he could live but a very few hours. To the surprise of all he recovered, but was never the same, either mentally or physically, as before the accident. His wife was compelled to have him put under bonds to have him keep the peace and, as he couldn't give them, he was in jail the greater part of last summer. After his wife had gotten a divorce, the county commissioners sent him to relatives across the range, where it was supposed he would have care and a home. A few week since word came that he was a public charge in Fremont County. He was returned to Glenwood a short time ago, and the trial of yesterday followed.

Aspen Democrat 7-25-1901 A Sad Case - For the last few months you have no doubt noticed a man with head bent down, seeming in deep reverie limping along with the aid of his cane, a poor harmless fellow who bothered no one. This man was Schneider Davis. Monday, in the county court he was adjudged insane and sent to Pueblo. His history is a sad one and goes to show what changes can occur in a short time. Three years ago he was a brakeman running out of Aspen. Travelers over this road at that time will remember him as a courteous and obliging official. He was at that time a fine looking young man at the very zenith of physical manhood. About the fall of '98 he was transferred to another point on the road and while engaged in handling cars between Sunshine and Cardiff was caught in a bad wreck. The grade between Sunshine and Cardiff is a very steep one, and this day there was a long train coming down the grade. The brakes were all set but the track being icy, the cars started slipping and soon got beyond control with the result that there was a terrible pile up. The engineer and fireman were killed outright and all the brakemen terribly hurt, among them being Schneider Davis. He was the only survivor, the other wounded brakeman dying some time afterward. His leg was badly mashed and broken and he was hurt about the head. For weeks he lay dead in the hospital suffering many deaths, and finally when he was released he left the institution a physical and mental wreck, and so sadly changed that some of his most intimate friends failed to recognize him. The long suffering he endured effected his mind and since then he has been an aimless wanderer. The man is really not what could be called insane as he is perfectly harmless and talks very rational; his mind is only dulled. It is said that the poor fellow while in the hospital and hardly accountable for what he did, was persuaded by rascallions to sign a paper which relieved the railroad from paying any damages, and with the promise of a job after he was well. After working faithfully for this road, this is his reward; a home in the insane asylum, where, if he is not crazy now, he will be in a short time. The Knights of Pythias Lodge, of which he is a member, have been taking care of him for the past few months, and was more than willing to continue. How noble it would have been for the railroad company to give him a house and take care of him, or give him some kind of a job he was capable of doing. But alas, everybody's place can be filled; when we are unable to cope with our fellow men, and the best of friends grow tired of another's burdens, death is welcome. Would that this poor fellow had died in that terrible wreck, than meet the fate that is now in store for him. Much indignation has been expressed at the hasty manner in which he was disposed of. How true are the beautiful words of the immortal poet who hath said: "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn." (signed) John Bowman.

Aspen Weekly Times 7-30-1887 Local and Personal On Saturday evening a man named T. E. Davis was taken in charge by the police in a demented condition, and turned over to the sheriff. He is now confined in jail. The unfortunate man has lost his reason by brooding over religious subjects and labors under the idea that he is the Savior. He will have to be held until the county court is again in session, when the question of his sanity will be tried.

Aspen Weekly Times 8-27-1887 Gone to the Asylum Deputy Sheriff Frank Hooper left yesterday with Davis, the man who was adjudged insane, to deliver him to the care of the state asylum at Pueblo. He does not anticipate any trouble with him, but does not propose to take any chances. He ironed him before he started. Davis did not want to go and thought that his friends here ought to interfere. About eighteen months ago Mr. Hooper had a thrilling experience with a lunatic whom he was taking to the asylum. The man was named Hart. They had proceeded as far as Pueblo and were going out to the asylum in a cab. Suddenly the madman jumped upon his keeper and commenced to choke him. In a moment Mr. Hooper discovered that the fellow had hold of his gun and was pulling it from the scabbard. A desperate struggle ensued and the insane man was not conquered until the driver stopped his team and came to the officer's assistance. At the asylum Hart told the keeper that he meant to have killed the deputy sheriff if he had gotten the gun. Frank discovered his attempt just in time to save his life. He takes no more chances.

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.

She has been for some time at St. Luke's hospital, but, as she seems incurable, it was thought best to have her adjudged insane and sent to the asylum. Dr. Eskridge stated that she had been in the habit of taking sixty grains of the drug per day. She was asked a number of questions for the purpose of determining whether or not she was insane. She did not know the day of the week and was positive it was the year 1891. She is a little, weazened up, colorless woman, with small, blinking eyes and a restless and ever-moving head. She was found to be hopelessly daft and will be sent at once to Pueblo. Note: Another article lists this woman as Adelaide Doan.

Boulder Daily Camera 4-16-1894 A concensus of public opinion in the Deardoff shooting case would clear the woman of murder or manslaughter. It might send her to the insane asylum, for she has for years been a fit subject for that institution, but so far as goes her specific act of shooting into a crowd of hoodlums, assembled at an unseemly hour of the night, to annoy her or gratify the lowest passions, she stands acquitted. Every man's home is his castle and disturbers of anyones right to enjoy the quiet of his or her home deserve the death that so suddenly came to James Heffner. It would require all the energies of a gatling gun to rid the community of its nuisance element of low down, idle and vicious men and boys and we can only say in conclusion, more power to your gun, Mrs. Deardoff.

Boulder Daily Camera 4-16-1894 Mrs. Deardoff Shoots And James Heffner, the Painter, is now a Corpse The body of James Heffner at the undertaking rooms of Coroner Trezise attracted large crowds all day. The man died in those same rooms at 12:30 this morning, two hours and a half after he was shot by Mrs. Cyrus Deardoff. The story of the shooting is soon told, though, probably, by reason of the questionable nature of the witnesses, the exact truth will never be known. It appears that Mrs. Deardoff, who is a crazy woman undoubtedly, has for years kept a trysting place for disreputables of both sexes, alternately sobering up and getting religion and relapsing again into a continual state of bacchanalian revels. Sunday night, as her story goes, Heffner and a crowd of loafers came to her place and made considerable noise on the outside. She says that Heffner kicked at her door and demanded admission. Let me in, or I'll kick the d--d door down, he shouted from the outside. You go away, she replied, I don't want nothing to do with you or any of your crowd. Heffner or someone from the outside continued their pounding, however, when Mrs. Deardoff called out, you go away or I'll shoot right through you. The kicking and pounding being kept up, Mrs. Deardoff opened the door and fired. It happened that Heffner was on or near the door step and he caught the full effect of the first and only shot. It was only a 32 calibre ball, but it went through the corner of Heffner's right eye and lodged in the base of the brain. Young Lakin and Bass, who were of the party, hastened up town and notified Mr. Trezise. Lyman, the hackman, went to the place, secured the body and brought Heffner to the undertaking rooms, where he died two hours later. Sheriff Dyer at once took a hand and Mrs. Deardoff was lodged in jail. The coroner impaneled a jury and notified all parties that he would begin an inquest at 1 o'clock this afternoon. There can be no question that Mrs. Deardoff is insane. Her eccentric conduct for years has led to this belief, but it was supposed that she would be a harmless sort of lunatic. As it is, she has not robbed the community of anything it prized very highly. Heffner was a dissolute fellow and his base instincts need no further testimony than that he was besieging this notorious woman's house at a time when all good citizens should have been at home. About a year ago Heffner married Mrs. Brumley, a professional nurse, who left him some months ago, owing to his dissolute habits. Coroner Trezise impanelled the following jury: H. C. Legge, L. M. Pickel, Dr. M. Jay, T. J. Lafferty, Dr. G. Thraikill and Henry Green. The jury viewed the body at 1 p.m. and began to hear testimony, the district attorney's office being represented by Hon. Charles M. Campbell. Besides Bass and Lakin, who are reported above as having been of the party, it is stated that Harry Neal, Hoyt Brown and Fran Wise were there.

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
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: Louisa Deavitt

Summit County Journal and Breckenridge Bulletin 5-7-1910 Rufus DeBarneure Declared Insane On Wednesday, a jury of six good and true citizens were empanneled in the county court and after hearing the testimony of the witnesses, retired to their room and after a short deliberation returned a verdict: that they believed him so distracted in mind as to endanger his life and property or the life and property of another, and Judge Fall directed his removal to the state institution in Pueblo, where sheriff J. G. Detwiler took him the next day. Mr. DeBarneure is an old timer here and the type of insanity, though mild now may at any time change. His mind runs on his son Bert, who the father thinks he owes and is afraid will kill him and at times thinks he ought to kill Bert to protect himself. The case is a sad one, as Mr. DeBarneure is beloved by all who know him and his acquaintances are all over the county and the same in Park county, for he lived there for a number of years.

DeBault, Walter Clinton
Carbonate Chronicle 10-21-1918 Strange Case of Walter De Bault Walter Clinton De Bault that is the name of August 23d, the demented man who surrendered himself with peculiar statements the night of September 12 to Clerk McMahon of the army board and asked to be arrested because he had not registered under the federal man power law. County Attorney Pendery cajoled the name from the man Monday when he visited him at the county jail. De Bault freely admitted having this name when he was examined in the county court yesterday afternoon, but he took pains to point out that he possessed the monicker only before and up to August 23. As on all previous examinations, he persistently stated that something happened to me on August 23 which I cannot tell you. He now thinks he has no name and believes his body has undergone a complete transformation, which is continuing since that date. The county attorney, Attorney Frank E. Purple, appointed by the court for De Bault, Drs. H. A. Calkins and A. J. McDonald of the lunacy commission also gleaned from De Bault's remarks that he ran away from home when he was 14 years old while attending the eighth grade school; but as to where this home was, he finally refused to state, declaring it did not concern anyone, tho if he thot it had been the Lord's intentions to have him tracked thru his past life, he would divulge the name of the town. He considers, he said, that his life began again on August 23, but up until that time he was 33 years and 7 months old. His father was an implement dealer and county auditor, he further said, but he would not give additional details. He has not heard from his father for twelve years, nor from his mother, brothers and sisters. There had never been any insanity in the family, he told the examiners. De Bault's statements made it plain that he is suffering from a hallucination which takes a religious turn. He quoted the bible yesterday, told how he was baptised four years ago in Billings, Mont., tho he had not led a different sort of life since, and said his actions at present concern only him and God. Shrewdly he explained to the doctors that if he and they could exchange personalities, he would think, just as they do, that he was insane and decidedly peculiar. De Bault's language shows that he has added considerable reading to his grammar school education and is what is called well educated. He has been a cowboy, sheepherder and ranch hand, he told the examiners. Until August 23 he was always filled with a lust for money, action, better position, he said, and had travelled on and on looking for greener fields ahead. He had suffered privation and hardships, and explaining these, he said he was broke. After August 23 and before September 12, knowing he would be arrested sooner or later for not registering, he said he spent all his money to have the benefit of it before going to jail. He had always got along nicely with his employers, he continued, and could get a job again with any of them except those he quit in a huff over some small provocation for which he felt sorry afterward. Having heard the story before, Probation Officer Herrigan elicited the information from De Bault that four years ago in Billings, Montana, he had bought a gun and had intended to hold up the town and shoot it afterward, but walking along the river, he had met a missionary, who baptized him. He then threw the gun in the river, and never since had he experienced similar vengeful desires. Both doctors believed De Bault is suffering from paresis, a softening of the brain. They did not think he was dangerous to himself or the community. They will make their recommendation to Judge O'Mahoney today.

Carbonate Chronicle 10-21-1918 Mentally Unbalanced -
Walter Clinton De Bault, a sheepherder, 33 years old, examined on the same day, will be sent to the state asylum at Pueblo on recommendation of the commission. He is suffering from a hallucination of a religious turn, and his mental condition is affected by paresis. De Bault, who divulged his name only last week, gave himself up September 12 last, telling the officers he had not registered under the man power law and wanted to be arrested. He claims that he underwent a transformation on August 23 last which completely changed his physical being, and on that account he will not tell where he came from, or who his relatives are.
DeBault, Walter Clinton
Carbonate Chronicle 1-13-1919 De Bault is Released The government not wishing to take further action, Sheriff Schraeder has released from the county jail Walter Clinton De Bault, the sheep herder who gave himself up on September 12 with the declaration that he would not register under the man power law on that date because something happened on August 23 which changed his life and prevented him from registering tho he declared he was not disloyal. He was found to be mentally unbalanced by the county lunacy commission on October 16 and was ordered taken to the state hospital at Pueblo. Later County Judge O'Mahoney released him on parole, but the sheriff held him until recently to wait orders from the department of justice. De Bault's statements have shown that his main hallucinations center on religious themes.

Decker, J.D.
Rocky Mountain Sun 2-28-1891 A man who goes by the name of J. D. Decker, was brought to Gunnison two or three weeks ago by Sheriff Bradley of Ouray county, and placed in jail there for safe keeping. He was arrested on the charge of horse stealing. After being put in the Ouray jail he threatened to burn it down and it was thought best to remove him. Sheriff Shores noticed his actions were somewhat peculiar ever since his confinement. Last Friday afternoon he had a hard fit, and after that time he was a raving maniac. For several days he would not eat a mouthful and was howling and screaming nearly all the time. He was very violent and it took several men to handle him. Sheriff Shores telegraphed to Sheriff Bradley to take the man off his hands, and accordingly that gentleman arrived and the insane man was taken before Judge McDougal on Monday, who decided that he be sent to the Pueblo Insane Asylum, and Sheriff Bradley left with him that evening.

Denver Evening Post 8-5-1897 Young Girl Brought From Leadville Insane Feora Deeds, an insane girl 13 years old, is under the care of the police matron. The girl was brought down from the vicinity of Leadville by the Humane society this morning. Secretary Whitehead of the society says that the girl lived with her father in a lumber camp in the mountains, and that the atmosphere had such an effect upon her as to drive her insane. One year ago she was very intelligent, but now she is a maniac of the worst kind. The case was reported to the society by some men who saw the girl in the wilderness. She will be taken to the girls' home of Dean Pecks for treatment.

DeHart, James
Littleton Independent 2-14-1919 In A Quandary The County Court appointed a lunacy commission to investigate into the sanity of James DeHart, recently. The commission found that the boy was irresponsible and unable to care for himself. He had been kept for some time by Mr. Daniels up in Pickletown, and later by Mr. Chas. Bryant, but these people could not keep him and he was sent to the reform school at Golden. After staying there for a short time the authorities at Golden sent him back, saying he could not be retained at that place as he was mentally unbalanced, and that the county would have to make some other disposition of him. The commission decided that he should be sent to the Home for Mental Defectives, but upon inquiry by the County Court at that institution they found that they had about four hundred applications ahead of this one and could not accept him. Now the Court is wondering where to place him, as he is too young to go to the asylum at Pueblo.

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.

While this was the absolute truth, the jury felt that he was luny or the sheriff was luny and they well knew that Mr. Dyer wasn't, hence the verdict.

Rocky Mountain News 4-24-1893 Crazed by Religion Mike Dempsey Goes Crazy After Attending a Series of Revival Meetings On Saturday Officer Veatch sent to the city jail a man whom he found walking along Delgany street praying aloud and calling on others to do likewise. At first the officer allowed the man to ramble along undisturbed, but later in the day he saw a woman run up to the man and say something to him. The man seemed much annoyed at the woman's appearance and he raised his hand to strike her when the officer appeared. Officer Veatch at once saw from the strange light in the violent man's eyes that he was crazy. His face was as pale as death, his clothes hung over his thin limbs which seemed almost fleshless, his whole expression betokened misery and the words which blowed rapidly from his lips indicated insanity. Two Weeks Without Food The woman pleaded with the officer to take charge of the poor man. Mike Dempsey is his name, said she, and I am his wife. His senses have left him for two weeks past and he has neither slept a wink nor taken a morsel of food. Can't you do something for him, Mr. Officer, pleaded the poor woman. I trust in the Lord. He feeds me, rejoined the prisoner. Officer Veatch, after a short investigation, called the patrol wagon and sent the man to the city jail. At the jail Hugh Smith asked the name of the prisoner. Jesus Christ is me name. What better one does Mike Dempsey want? replied the crazy man. After he was carefully searched he was placed in cell No. 2 of the inner tier. Living Without Sustenance Dempsey has now been confined in the jail for forty-eight hours and he has not tasted either food or water. Three times each day one of the guards has given him his regular portion of food and drink and each time Dempsey has pushed it out of his reach, crying out: I trust in the Lord. He feeds me. At breakfast yesterday morning Officer Mike Halligan opened the cell door and tried to induce Dempsey to eat something, and in a moment, when Halligan was not looking, he made a break for liberty, crying out, The Lord wants me and I come. Halligan grabbed him before he got very far, and after a lively tussle the insane man was once more back in his cell. At 11 o'clock the people who every Sunday hold prayer and praise services in the jail appeared, and when Dempsey heard the first strains of a hymn he jumped at the grated door of his cell and cried out: The Angels Coming Oh, the angels have come. Come for poor Mike Dempsey, whom the devil now has. He struck his head against the iron bars so fiercely that for a moment he fell back on the floor stunned. The guard went to his rescue, and with difficulty restrained him from again dashing against the grate. All during the service he kept up his cries. It is without doubt the most peculiar case of insanity which the police have had to deal with. Dempsey is a painter by trade and lives at 2118 Delgany street, and his wife accounts for his present condition as follows: About three weeks ago, she says, he began to attend revival services and to take a great interest in them right away. A few days after his first visit he brought back a Bible and from April 9 to this day he has not touched any food nor earned a cent for me or his babes. He has kept up a-praying and a-singing all the time. Before he became affected he was an honest, hard working man and supported his family. Last night the crazy man was taken to the county hospital. He can live but a few days longer unless nourishment of some kind is forced down his throat, and this course will probably be adopted. Since his confinement in the jail Dempsey has not slept at all and his condition is most serious. Religious insanity seldom goes to such extremes.

Four years ago the deceased was taken to the state asylum for the insane at Pueblo. He improved to such an extent that after ten months confinement he was discharged as cured. Except to brood occasionally over his affairs, Mr. Denman appeared to be rational at all times until within the last few weeks when he began to have moody spells that sometimes lasted for several days. Friday evening he left the house and was gone so long the family became alarmed and started to search for him. The dead body was located in the garage, the rifle lying at its side. So far as known the deceased had no immediate relatives. Amos Carl took charge of the remains and the funeral was held Sunday afternoon with interment in Grand View cemetery.

Derr, Lorenzo D.
Eagle County Blade 7-26-1906 Convicted of Lunacy Last Monday Lorenzo D. Derr, an old resident of the upper portion of the county, especially Minturn, was brought to the county seat by Sheriff M. J. Henry, on a lunacy charge. The trial occurred that afternoon before the County court and the defendant was convicted largely upon his own testimony and his appearance which plainly denoted his condition. The unfortunate man is a carpenter by trade but for many years has followed prospecting. Of late he has been interested with other Minturn parties in some mining claims on Game creek, and was found last week in his cabin in a demented and helpless condition. When found he was in bad condition physically as well as mentally, being very weak and apparently partially paralyzed on the right side. Dr. Greene, the county physician, was called in the case, and on the day of the trial the man had recovered much of his physical strength. But mentally he was in a practically helpless and irresponsible condition. He is not violent but seems to be almost wholly devoid of his mental faculties. He was taken to the state insane asylum at Pueblo by Sheriff Henry Tuesday morning. Mr. Derr, better known as Len, is sixty odd years of age and a veteran of the Civil war, on account of which service he receives a pension. He was unable to tell anything of his relatives, but from papers found among his effects it is evident that he has a nephew, a lawyer and prominent citizen of Reading, Pennsylvania. aka Leonard Derr

Fort Collins Courier 2-12-1908 Detro Claims He Was Kidnapped Former Fort Collins Man Brought from Alberta to Pueblo Asylum, Where Admission is Refused. The following dispatch is from Sunday's Denver Republican: Pueblo, Colo., Feb 8 Kidnapped and deported as a lunatic from Winnipeg, Manitoba, to Pueblo, is what Abner Detro today told the sheriff had happened to him. Detro says he went from Fort Collins to the province of Alberta, Canada, and with his wife took up 1,000 acres of land. Soon after becoming established he says he was arrested on the charge of lunacy and taken to Winnipeg. Detro arrived here in charge of an officer who gave his name as William Agnew. superintendent Busey refused to receive the alleged patient, believing that he was sane and that the commitment papers were not such as could be accepted. Detro will be sent to Fort Collins, where his father resides and where some action may be taken in the case. Nothing has been heard from Pueblo concerning the case by Fort Collins relatives of Detro. His father resides ninety miles northwest of town in this county, but Laramie is his trading point and it is likely that if Detro is sent to his father's address he will go via Cheyenne and Laramie. He is well-known here and it is believed that there is nothing wrong with him mentally, aside from the fact that he is addicted to drink. Detro has had a checkered career. His relatives here knew that an effort was being made by the Canadian authorities to have him committed to some institution, as papers were sent here by Canadian authorities some time ago for signature. The law of Alberta, the province in which he settled, is such that a person mentally unbalanced can be sent back to his native country or state.

Carbonate Chronicle 8-2-1915 Peter Devlin, a resident of Leadville who has been cared for recently at the Woodcroft sanatorium in Pueblo, died at that institution yesterday morning, according to word received here by Michael Nugent, his brother-in-law. He was 42 years old. Devlin, who was a miner here before the attack of insanity, was taken to the Woodcroft institution after being adjudged insane, July 22, 1909 (?). On the following March 19 he was given into the custody of Michael Nugent when his mental condition had much improved, and until a few weeks ago when his condition again became serious, he had lived with the Nugents here. On June 16 he was retaken to the Woodcroft sanatorium when his state became aggravated again, an order for recommital having been given by the county court. His wife and three children are visiting relatives in Ireland. They will be notified of his death.

Leadville Daily Herald 6-15-1882 Peculiar Cases Three Men Examined in the County Court to Test Their Sanity Yesterday afternoon the attention of the county court was occupied in the examination of three men who, from their peculiar actions have attracted the attention of the authorities. They have been detained in the county jail for several days past, said to be insane. The names of these unfortunates are W. W. Thorp, Paul Stable and J. A. Diamond
The most peculiar case of all came on last and was that of John A. Diamond. He is about twenty-eight or thirty years of age, and when taken into custody was employed as second cook in a restaurant at Buena Vista. Deputy Sheriff Charlie Kelly received him from the sheriff of Chaffee county, and the man was first brought to the notice of the Lake county officials through the medium of a half dozen letters written to Judge J. Y. Marshall, which had they not have emanated from the brain of a crazy man would have been nothing more or less than blackmail. These letters are not fit for publication, owing to the numerous profane passages contained in them. In them the writer purports that he has been drugged and that he is playing the role of detective to catch the parties who gave him the drug. He speaks of his valuable property, and demands that Judge Marshall shall give him certain amounts of money. When these letters had been read to the jury, a very searching examination followed, which proved to the panel that even had the man been crazy when he wrote the letters, he was certainly in his right mind now. The peculiar feature in the case is that Judge Marshall did not know Diamond and the latter acknowledges that he is not personally acquainted with his honor, having been in his office only two or three times in his life. Diamond was discharged from custody on the count of insanity. A deputy sheriff subsequently took Diamond to Justice Curran's office, thinking that probably a warrant should be issued on the ground of blackmail, but the court decided there was no black mail intended. While Diamond was in the court room a Herald representative had a little talk with him, in which Diamond stated that he had been working some claims of his own on Sheep mountain, in the Horseshoe in Park county. He worked there for the past two years and thought he was compelled to leave because he had been drugged and a man had acted threateningly toward him. As he did not want to get into trouble he had cleared out and abandoned his property. He is still of the opinion that he had been drugged and that at the time he had written the letters he was suffering from the effects of the poison. In fact he believes that up to the time he was brought here to the county jail he was not free from its effect. He remembers distinctly having written the letters, but does not know why he wrote them. He says he must have been a little off. The man talks very rationally, and when asked a rather delicate question, he answered it blushingly but negatively. The answer was not believed by anyone who saw him at the time, and his manner belied his words.

Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph 4-8-1961 Mental Test Being Sought for Gerald Dienst A step toward obtaining a mental examination of Gerald Wayne Dienst, charged with causing death while under the influence of liquor and accessory to statutory rape, was taken Friday with the filing of a petition in District Court by his attorney, Dave Morris. Morris asks the court to permit the County Court to accept the filing of a petition requesting a medical commission to examine Dienst. Reasons requesting the petition including the following: Dienst is charged with causing death while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. Dienst is presently mentally ill and so emotionally disturbed that he is in need of institutional care and psychiatric treatment for a reasonable period of time so that he may be able to defend himself against the charge and further, it was strongly recommended by Dr. R. L. Conde of Brady's. The petition alleges that Dienst is not in a physical or mental condition at this time to undertake the strain of a criminal trial and is so emotionally disturbed that he cannot fully cooperate with his counsel in the preparation of his defense. The petition further indicates that it is the best interests of justice that he be immediately institutionalized and receive psychiatric care. Dr. R. L. Conde examined Dienst twice on requests from the Dienst family. One examination took place on Jan. 28 and the other on March 9. The doctor's report revealed that Dienst has a long history of juvenile delinquency, including a recent discharge from the service as undesirable. Then Dienst was involved in an automobile accident early in 1961 in which Mrs. Dorothy Aurand was killed and John Aurand is still hospitalized. The report said that during the interview the patient, Dienst, was extremely pale, tense, defensive and hostile. Then followed the charge of accessory to statutory rape with several of his buddies in which a 16-year-old girl was raped. Dr. Conde said in his report that he recommended to Morris at that time that Dienst be retained in jail where he would be protected from his own socially destructive impulses. The doctor's diagnosis declared Dienst to be generally immature. Dr. Conde recommended that regardless of the court's finding, Dienst be given a period of institutional care with psychiatric treatment.

Aspen Weekly Times 9-16-1893 Donaldson's Hearing. He Is Adjudged Insane and Will be Sent Back to Pueblo Bob Donaldson was Thursday taken to the county jail to await an investigation as to his sanity. He waived his privilege of a ten day's postponement of this case, saying he was ready for the examination to begin. His case was set for hearing at 2 p.m. and a jury summoned. The witnesses who testified regarding the manner of his actions on Wednesday when he took a gun away from William Lee, showed that he imagined some one was trying to drive him out of Aspen and he expressed it by saying: B. Clark Wheeler and the gang could not make him go; he would be d _ _ d if they could. He wanted a gun to shoot someone. Dr. Ramsey testified that Donaldson was suffering with impulsive insanity, a condition very similar to that in which a person is afflicted with epileptic fits; that the disease was more violent at times than at others and that he was an unsafe person to be allowed to go at large. He was adjudged insane and will be taken to Pueblo probably today or tomorrow.

16 September 1893 Aspen Weekly Times (Aspen, Pitken County) A Split In Police Court From Fridays Daily - During the past two or three weeks the relations between Judge Bradshaw on one hand and the city solicitor and the police on the other have been becoming more and more strained and ended in an open rupture at the morning session of police court. When Bob Donaldson returned from the asylum many wondered at his peculiar actions and that he had been dismissed, and when on Wednesday he tried to take a gun away from a man passing him he was taken in charge by the police and retained on a charge of disturbance till the proper action could be had in county court to give him a second hearing as to his sanity. He was taken into police court. City Attorney Bell drew up the warrant and complaint and asked Judge Bradshaw to sign the warrant, which he refused to do, saying that the prisoner was insane and not responsible for his acts. Mr. Bell informed the court that if he proposed to run things in that way he would not have a d-n thing to do with it and grabbing his hat left the room. The prisoner was discharged and told to go, the judge reiterating his statement that Bob was insane. Bob went. After coming down stairs the judge asked Marshal Greener to take Bob and come on down to the county court, which the good natured marshal refused to do, saying that he had done his duty and was through. The judge had to make the trip alone. The police have been complaining about not getting proper recognition at the hands of the court and this open hostility will in all probability result in some resignations, or in some declarations of vacancies at the coming session of the city dads.

A number of witnesses were examined on points relating to his peculiar actions, but when Donaldson took the stand he left no doubt of his unbalanced mind. He says he is constantly haunted with a loud noise in his ears, which bothers him when he is alone, or tries to go to sleep. He says at first he thought he imagined it, but he had studied over the matter till he came to the conclusion that it was no imagination; he knew it was a reality. He did not want to tell who were the parties making the noise, but thought someone had it in for him as he expressed it, and he was in constant terror. When asked by the attorney if he found out who was doing this and could get them to stop no other way, he would kill them, he replied that he thought that would be a little tough but that something would have to be done. Dr. Green testified that Donaldson was suffering with that stage of insanity known as melancholia and that while he was now harmless and seemingly depressed, he might undergo a change at any time which would make him dangerous, either to himself or some imaginary enemy. He said that a change of scene and new fields of employment with the proper medical attention would undoubtedly restore his reason. He will be taken to the asylum for the insane in Pueblo as soon as possible
Donaldson, Robert
Aspen Weekly Times 1-14-1893 Donaldson Found He Is In Charge of the Officers of Lake County From Friday's Daily A few days ago The Times spoke of the unaccountable disappearance of one Bob Donaldson from Gunn's boarding house in this city. It was the accepted opinion of his friends and associates that the poor fellow was slightly demented and that this fact fully accounted for his disappearance, which conclusion later developments fully confirm. Early this morning one of Aspen's correspondents for the Denver papers sent a message to his paper in which he mentioned the fact that nothing had been heard of Donaldson. The telegrapher sat down to send the message, and it so happened that at the same moment the operator in Leadville broke his own connection, and having nothing to do listened to the correspondent's information about Donaldson as it passed over the wire through his instrument. When the message was finished the Leadville operator clicked back to the Aspen telegrapher, Why, that man's here in jail crazy as a loon. When the mail came in from Leadville sure enough the Leadville Herald Democrat contained a full account of the finding of Donaldson in that city, referring to the matter as follows: The perilous plight in which a strange acting man placed himself in the yards of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad yesterday afternoon compelled the officials to call upon the sheriff's posse to take him in charge. Yardmaster Cunningham filed the complaint and Under Sheriff Dunn went to the yards and became guardian of the fellow who is evidently deranged. Early in the day he showed up around the yards, and busied himself by volunteering, and without consent, to discharge the duties of switchman and brakeman combined. Several times he had narrow escapes from being killed or injured by falling under the wheels of the moving cars, and although he was continually warned to desist, he continued until taken in charge by Sheriff Dunn. The erratic individual was escorted to the county jail, where, upon examination, he was found to be badly bruised. His right shoulder was black and blue, and the flesh was painfully torn. His right hand was swollen and sore, but where he received the injuries he was unable to tell. All he knew was that he had received injuries four or five days ago on the railroad while coming to Leadville from Aspen. He said that his name was Bob Donaldson, and he was unable to tell what he had been doing or where he had been since he threw up a job in a mine at Tourtelotte park. County Physician Dr. J. J. Crook was summoned, and ordered the removal of the injured man to the county hospital, where his injuries were properly cared for. Mr. Gunn, at whose rooming house Donaldson made his home, when informed last evening by The Times reporter that the poor fellow had been found seemed very much relieved. Mr. Gunn says that he has known Donaldson for about twelve years, and that he has many friends here in Aspen where he has lived for the last seven years. Several times during his career in this place he has managed to get possession of considerable property, but as often through bad management lost it again. When asked as to the probable cause of Donaldson's dementia, Mr. Gunn said he could attribute it to nothing else than his loss of money which he bet on the late election. He was of a despondent nature and worried himself much over his losses. Mr. Gunn says that Donaldson is an honorable citizen of Pitkin county and must be taken charge of by the county and with proper care and treatment believes that he will recover his mental balance in a short time. So far as known Donaldson has no relatives in this country.

In the cradle, answered the husband, who was watching the sick child. With a scream the mother ran to the cradle, and taking the babe in her arms smothered it with kisses almost. A fury seemed to possess her, for in another moment she sprang, child in arms, to the door, and disappeared in the darkness, to the utter amazement of the husband. When he recovered from his astonishment he went into the street, but his wife was no where to be found. A complaint was entered at police headquarters and all officers were notified to arrest the woman on sight. Mrs. Denika has worried greatly over the sickness of her child, and last night was out of her mind, and only partly dressed, is roaming the streets with a sick child in her arms, while the poor husband is almost distracted with grief over the sad occurrence.

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
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: Louisa Doran

Dorman was convicted of arson in the West side court about a month ago, and if the asylum failed to secure him the penitentiary was awaiting his reception. Dr. Eskridge testified that Dorman told him that voices whispered to him continuously. He stated that while Dorman was not violent and could distinguish between right and wrong, that he could be used at any time by designing persons to accomplish mischief; that he had been the victim of monomania from birth; that he was, in fact, a full fledged specimen of the genus crank. Do you think all cranks should be sent to the insane asylum? said Judge Le Fevre, gravely. I do, your honor, said that physician firmly. How the asylum would have to be enlarged, murmured an attorney. Dorman manifested nothing unusual in his manner except that he kept his eyes closed all the time and listened to the discussion on his sanity with entire indifference.

Carbonate Chronicle 10-22-1917 Jim Dougherty Had Delusions Aged County Charge Adjudged Insane Made Vicious Attack on Poor Old Paralytic Who Has Since Died James Dougherty was adjudged insane by the county lunacy commission yesterday afternoon, and by coincidence on the same day (Red) Erwin, whom the eccentric old man severely beat with a broom stick at the county hospital, October 9, passed across the border. Erwin died at the county house at about 3 o'clock yesterday morning. The beating given him in the night by Dougherty was not held responsible for his death, for the old man suffered a second stroke of paralysis only recently and it was feared he would not live long sometime before Dougherty was seized by the hallucination which caused him to assault the weak old invalid. Great excitement reigned among the aged men at the county hospital for several days after Dougherty made his strange attack on Erwin, who was 67 years old. He had the idea that he and Erwin were boyhood friends in Ireland, and he narrated to witnesses in court yesterday how Erwin used to berate and abuse him in their old country home. Erwin as a matter of fact, was born in Ohio and had never been in Ireland, but that information could not be impressed on Dougherty. His hallucination led him to nurse a deep and abiding grudge against the poor old fellow, who lay on a cot near his at the county house, suffering from incurable attacks of paralysis. Dougherty thot a great chance to get revenge had offered itself on the night of October 9 after all the lights had been turned out and the inmates of the home had gone to bed. He got up stealthily in the dark, pulled from under his pillow a hard, smooth broom stick, which he had surreptitiously hidden there, and fell upon Red Erwin with frenzied madness. Before the men in the beds nearby were awoke and Custodian Fred Minor had been attracted by the turmoil, Dougherty had badly bruised Erwin about the head and on one arm, which the old man had pulled from under the covers as best he could and put up to ward off the insane blows. Officers were called and Dougherty was taken to the county jail to await investigation of his mental condition. It had been believed for sometime that he was becoming erratic, but it had not been suspected that he would become violent. After he went to jail for safe keeping, he had the hallucination that sharp shooters were leveling their rifles at him and occasionally taking a shot at him. Dr. R. J. McDonald and Dr. J. A. Jeannotte of the county lunacy commission adjudged the old man insane yesterday and recommended that he be taken to the state asylum at Pueblo. Attorney Frank A. Purpie appeared as guardian ad litem for Dougherty and County Attorney H. R. Pendery represented the county in the proceedings. Andy Doyle, Jacob Smith and Fred Larson, aged inmates of the county hospital and Fred Minor, custodian were summoned as witnesses to tell of Dougherty's irrational actions at the hospital. Dougherty is 67 years old and has no relatives in Leadville. The Moynahan and O'Malia Undertaking company took charge of Erwin's body after his death early yesterday morning. Funeral arrangements will be announced later.

Carbonate Chronicle 10-29-1917 Taken To Insane Asylum Undersheriff John Murray returned yesterday morning from Pueblo, where he took to the state insane asylum James Dougherty, 67, who was adjudged insane in the county court Thursday last. Dougherty, who had lived here since the early days of the district, had been failing mentally for a number of months while living at the county hospital. While suffering from the hallucination that the late David Erwin, another inmate of the home who was born in Ohio, was an old boyhood enemy of his in Ireland, Dougherty attacked Erwin at the hospital the night of October 9 and beat him with a broom stick. Erwin was suffering from paralysis, of which he died the day Dougherty was adjudged insane.

Dougherty's case has not yet been put before the county judge, it was said. It is believed Dougherty, who is advanced in years, is irrational. A few nights ago after all lights were turned out, he got out of bed, pulled a broom stick from under his pillow and badly beat Red Erwin, who is another inmate of the hospital. Erwin put up one hand to ward off the blows and his hand was injured as well as his face, where Dougherty pounded him. When his cries awakened other inmates and attracted Fred Minor, custodian, Erwin had already received painful bruises. Dougherty was then taken to the jail for safe keeping, it being feared that he is losing his mind.

For conveying lunatics to the asylum a bunch of bills as rendered by deputies and one by Sheriff Burchinell were in the hands of the committee
The bills for conveying insane patients to the asylum, as presented last night, show the same system of stealing as employed in bills for transportation of prisoners to the penitentiary and reformatory. The mileage is charged at 10 cents for the round trip of 256 miles. The expense bills are uniform railroad fare for officer, $9.30; railroad fare for prisoner, $4.65; conveyance at Pueblo, $3; meals, $3. The deputies traveled on passes and Mr. Murray testified that he was given $5 to cover all incidental expenses. He also testified that Sheriff Burchinell never conveyed a lunatic to Pueblo. Yet Sheriff Burchinell signs and apparently swears to a bill for $66 for conveying Emma J. Downer, Emma Ralston and Henry Ellerman to the asylum at Pueblo, the dates respectively of the bills, made out in one, being September 14, 29 and 30, 1894. Owing to the hearing on the indeterminate sentence bill, the committee met in the room of the judiciary committee. Senators Johnson, Barela and Wheeler were present

Carbonate Chronicle 1-8-1917 Examined By Insanity Experts Dr. B. F. Griffith and Dr. E. A. Whitmore, composing the county court's examining board for insanity investigations, examined yesterday John R. Thomas, who was taken to the county jail for safe keeping several weeks ago, and Mike Downey, who was taken in during the raids on alleged bootleggers December 22. The doctors will make their recommendations to the county court on Saturday. It is possible both of these men will be sent to the asylum at Pueblo for future care. Thomas has been incoherent in his talk since he was taken in charge, it is said, and has failed generally in health during the last year. He was confined at the asylum several years ago and on being released, virtually recovered, he returned to Leadville, where he has lived since the early days. [ In all other articles he is referred to as John Downey.]
Downey, John
Carbonate Chronicle 1-8-1917 Will Be Taken To Pueblo Asylum John Downey, who has been an object of pity about Leadville's streets for a year or more, will be cared for in the future at the state asylum at Pueblo. The county court's examining board of physicians, Dr. E. A. Whitmore and Dr. B. F. Griffith, recommended yesterday that Downey be sent to this institution owing to his mental derangement, and their recommendation included also John E. Thomas, a pioneer resident who was cared for at the asylum ten years ago for a period of three years. Both men will be taken to the state asylum as soon as possible in view of the inadequate accommodations of the county jail to provide for such patients. For a year or more Downey has been deemed mentally incompetent, and has been a vagrant thru his inability to work. Summer and winter, in recent years, Downey has worn a long, black, heavy ulster which swept the sidewalk as he walked and this attire with his slouching gait made him a familiar character along Harrison avenue. He was taken in charge December 22, when the bootlegging raids were on. After being taken to jail, all of his clothes were taken from him and burned and Downey was dressed in a complete new outfit of clothing. For months he had slept in vacant buildings and alleys, wherever he could find a quiet place large enough to lie down on. He shuddered at the bath which accompanied the change of clothing and remarked, New clothes are all right; old clothes are more comfortable. Thomas was taken in custody December 11 when he was discovered talking incoherently in East Ninth street. It is believed both men will improve in mental condition under proper care and attendance at the state asylum.

Downing, Frank R.
Durango Democrat 2-19-1909 Our Henry Bit Yesterday Barrister Barry was complaining within hearing of Commissioner Scouton that poor old Frank Downing should have been sent to the asylum. Mr. Scouton observed: Where would we send him, he was crazy and there was nothing else to do? Why, rejoined Barry, the Barrister, I saw a letter from a brother of his who wanted him to come to Denver on a 160-acre tract which could be worked as a frog farm, and the outdoor life would do him a world of good. A frog farm ejaculated Scouton. What in the dickens would he do with a frog farm in Denver. And Barrister Barry replied raise frogs, of course. Then Henry, the Scouton, wanted to know who would buy the frogs and Barry, the Barrister, said the breweries would. The breweries? yelled Scouton. What do breweries want of frogs, I'd like to know? and the Barrister retorted: Why, I presume, to make beer out of their hops, and Charley Conroy and Bill Otton drank out of the red ink bottle by mistake while Henry wondered whattahell made everybody laugh so laughingly.

Doyle, John
Carbonate Chronicle 1-21-1889 A Sad Spectacle For some days a familiar figure seen on Harrison avenue, is that of a frail looking man with restless eyes, a scanty beard and a pale face, attired in a loosely fitting suit, who walks almost continually up and down the middle of the street. He is, as the saying goes, plum daft, and although the man is accounted harmless, his actions are rather queer and certain to attract attention. He seldom goes on the sidewalks, preferring the middle of the avenue, with an utter disregard for passing vehicles. Usually he walks back and forth from Ninth street down to Fourth, seldom going off the avenue. For the past two days he has been gazing anxiously at the sun, watching it from morning till night. This is especially so late in the afternoon when he studies the sunset with every show of interest, stopping at some corner and looking at the orb until it sinks. Late last night a reporter saw him gazing intently at the moon. He will answer few questions that are propounded, maintaining the strictest silence. The man has been arrested several times but could not be held on any charge, and it is useless, if he were, to have him an expense on the city in the jail. Some one should complain of him before the proper county authorities and have the case investigated and the man sent to the Pueblo asylum, providing there was room. It is certainly not right to allow him to walk the streets, as at any time his insanity may take another turn. He is said to be unusually strong and on occasions of his arrest has caused officers considerable trouble. Thursday night he imagined some one was after him with a pistol, desiring to shoot him and walked the streets all night. It is said he will bite savagely when anyone attempts to arrest him and this, combined with his unusual strength, makes it very lively for anyone who is foolish enough to molest him. He lives on money given him by people around town, and one gentleman's charity in this case is to be most highly commended, for without it, the man would surely have come to some deplorable end long ago. It is strange the unfortunate man does not break down his powers of endurance, however, seem exhaustless. His name is John Doyle.

Carbonate Chronicle 1-21-1889 The Doyle Case John Doyle, concerning whom an article appeared in these columns on Saturday, was brought before Judge Phelps, in the county court, at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon to be tried for insanity. Doyle, when brought into court, sank into a chair directly in front of the bench and hung his head, nor did he look up during the whole progress of the trial. It is doubtful if he understood what was going on about him. The court room was well filled with spectators, and sympathy for the afflicted man was universal. A jury of six was empanelled in the case, Mr. H. V. A. Ferguson interrogating the witnesses. Joseph Gavin, William Newman, and others testified to the man's acting queerly. Theodore Schultz testified that the man had several times claimed that the buildings along the street were touching the sky, that the sun was larger than usual and set in the wrong place, etc. Marshal White and Officer Meany testified that Doyle was almost continually walking the streets and that he had resisted arrest fiercely on one or two occasions. On Saturday night he had gone into a saloon and kicked an inoffensive man very severely without the slightest provocation. Several witnesses testified that the man was subject to fits, all believed him insane, and thought his presence in the streets a danger to the community. The jury found the man insane and recommended his incarceration in the insane asylum. It is the same old story at the asylum, no room, and Doyle will very likely be obliged to remain in the county jail for some time.

Leadville Herald Democrat 7-28-1886 Sent Up For Insanity John Doyle a Notorious Tin Horn Ticketed for the Asylum at Last Adjudged Insane The attention of Judge Talbot was engaged yesterday in the county court in conducting an inquiry into the sanity or insanity of John Doyle, a tin horn gambler, who has been rustling for a livelihood about the gambling houses of this city for these many years past. Doyle had been absent from Leadville for several weeks prior to last spring and returned in his normal condition drunk. He hooted and howled until he wound up the celebration with a fit and was removed to the lock-up to which place Dr. Law was summoned to attend him. He was finally discharged and took up his old business of watching for sleepers around the fare (?) layout. A few days since he again took to the cups and was picked up by Officer Dixon, against whom he made a savage resistance, biting the latter's fingers and doing all the violence he could in the hands of a man of superior strength. With the assistance of another officer Mr. Dixon finally landed the fellow in jail, since which time he has enjoyed its lodgings. Finally a friend made complaint of lunacy against Doyle and the examination was set for yesterday. In the afternoon he was taken from the cage, and in custody of Sheriff Lamping, started for the court room. With the cunning of a madman, he saw an opportunity to express his hatred for Jailer Miller before departing, and sent in his compliments with an ineffective blow over the eye. In the strong grasp of the sheriff, he continued to the court chamber then and told an incoherent story. The jury found a verdict that he was demented, and Doyle will join the other unfortunates who have gone to the asylum for the insane this year. It was said that the cause of his troubles are in a wound received during his career as a soldier, and that twice before he has served sentence in the asylum. It has always been feared by his friends that he would do violence to himself, and until he has improved, the shelter of the asylum will be best for him.

Leadville Herald Democrat 12-10-1889 Lake's Unfortunate Poor The Two Insane Women Will be Sent to Jacksonville, Illinois for Treatment in the State Insane Asylum at That Place At the meeting of the county commissioners last evening there were present Commissioners Irwin, Jones, Dodge, Younger, Otterbach, Attorney Parks and County Clerk Dale
The main business coming before the board was the pauper matter. It was stated that there was no room at the Pueblo insane asylum for Mrs. Mary Pitts, and Mary Anderson, the two insane women, the first of whom is at St. Luke's hospital and the latter in the county jail. An appropriation was made for the purpose of sending the two women to the Illinois state insane asylum at Jacksonville and they will be taken there as soon as possible. Mary Doyle, the unfortunate girl, who recently went insane, will also probably be sent there.

Leadville Herald Democrat 12-11-1889 Will Go East Under Sheriff Loomis Will Accompany the Three Insane Women to Illinois This evening Under Sheriff Loomis will accompany Mrs. Mary Pitts, Mary Anderson, and Mary Doyle, to the insane asylum at Jacksonville, Illinois. This institution is a private one, and was used by Lake county before the state institution at Pueblo was built. It is one of the first in the country and the best of care is taken of all patients sent to them. At one time, in 1883, Lake county had three insane people within its walls, and in all, the county has had twenty-three patients sent to the institution at different times. Dr. Law will also accompany.

Dozet, who was sent to the asylum of Dr. Works in Pueblo from this county for insanity last January. In it the inspector says that if Dozet has not been in the U. S. for over three years the department may send (Dozet) to the city at which he entered U. S. and make the steamship company that brought him to this country take him back to his home. The department has no funds to reimburse the county for its outlay in connection with having Dozet pronounced insane and sending him to the asylum. Unless Dozet's relatives make good the county has got to stand the expense. The inspector also enclosed a medical blank containing a number of technical questions to be answered and the chairman has transmitted this blank to Dr. Work to be filled out as the facts can only be ascertained, if at all, from Dozet, who is at present under the doctors supervision.

Dozier, Mrs. Henry
Denver Evening Post 6-29-1897 Escaped An Insane Patient Gets Away From the County Hospital Found on the Streets Mrs. Dozier, an insane inmate of the county hospital, escaped from that institution late last night. She was found by a patrolman at an early hour this morning and returned to the hospital. Mrs. Dozier is not suffering from the violent form of insanity and consequently is not confined in a cell. She is allowed the freedom of the building during the day, but is kept under watch during the night. She retired at her usual time last night, but sometime before midnight she slipped from her bed and went quietly from the building. When her absence was discovered a search was made for her but she could not be found. Lanterns were procured and all the houses and barns in the neighborhood were searched but nothing could be found of the missing woman. The police were then notified and the officers were instructed to keep a lookout for her. About 3 o'clock this morning a mounted officer found the woman wandering around the vicinity of Santa Fe and First avenues. She was in her night clothes and fought desperately when placed under arrest. She was overpowered and sent to the hospital in the patrol wagon.

Rocky Mountain News 1-30-1897 Ruthless Fake Scandal Mongers Manufacture a Sensational Story Devoid of One Word of Truth The story published in a morning paper relative to the starvation of the family of Henry Dozier, the architect of the Sherman school, who is now in Cripple Creek, was accepted at the court house yesterday with many grains of allowance. The facts in the case are that Mrs. Dozier became insane nearly two months ago, at which time she was discovered to be mentally unbalanced through wrongs she imagined she had suffered. The absence of the husband from the home at the time, when he was engaged at Cripple Creek, made it imperative that the family of nine children, most of whom are quite young, should be cared for, and the case was therefore reported to the county commissioners through the Humane society, and as they became needy supplies of groceries and coal were furnished by the county. The coal guild also furnished coal to keep the family from suffering. The commissioners have kept them supplied ever since. Every school day has found several of the children at the Fairmount school, and the well-filled baskets which they carried there did not indicate to the teachers or their associates that they were in danger of starvation. Celestia Dozier, the eldest of the family, has been caring for the younger children and has been assisted by friends and by charitable people who have become interested in the case. The story of an attempt to kill the youngest child by Mrs. Dozier is the tale of a diseased brain in the opinion of those who have been interested in the case, and to have no more foundation than that.

Rocky Mountain News 2-10-1897 Will Support His Family Henry Dozier Arrested on Arrival From Cripple Creek Henry Dozier, whose wife is confined in the county hospital as insane and whose family of nine children has been supported by the county since the early part of December, was arrested at the court house yesterday afternoon, charged with failure to support his family. Dozier, who is an architect of some note, being the designer of the plans for the Sherman school, has been at Cripple Creek for some months and has drawn plans for a number of buildings put up since the fire. His income from this source has been considerable, at least $3,000, yet the investigation of the Humane society reveals the fact that he has not contributed anything to the support of his family left in Denver. Dozier said he was in the city to arrange for taking his eldest daughter to St. Louis, where she would be cared for by an aunt who had furnished passes. Secretary Whitehead of the Humane society informed Dozier that he would have to make provision for his family or submit to punishment. Mrs. Rogers, who accompanied Dozier, promised to furnish bond to carry out this pledge.

Telluride Daily Journal 11-30-1899 Dury Goes to the Asylum The jury sitting in inquest in the county court, to determine the sanity of John Zekiel Dury, found him insane and Judge Wardlaw committed him to the insane hospital at Pueblo. Among those who know the man best there is no question as to his being insane, and his committal is regarded as a wise move as there is hope that with the treatment he will receive at Pueblo, he may be cured, whereas if permitted to run at large it would be only a matter of time until he would kill some one unless he was first killed, as his weakness runs to throwing guns down on people and shooting about promiscuously. [There are two more articles that refer to this man as John Zekiel Drury, as opposed to Dury. One article refers to him as Zekiel Drury.]

Telluride Journal December 2, 1899 Zekiel Dury Sent to Pueblo - Sunday a fellow on horse back rode down Columbia avenue through the thickest part of the residence district promiscuously shooting a Winchester rifle among the residences. Near the town hall he throwed his gun down on a traveling man who took to his heels and ran for dear life. At the next corner he covered one of the JOURNAL force, not more than thirty feet distant, and gave every indication of being about ready to shoot; down by the school house he covered another man who jumped behind a tree, and he took a parting shot at the brewery as he passed it. Marshal March got a horse and started after the fellow, overtaking him down near the Weller ranch. He made a stubborn fight and the marshal had his hands full in controlling him. After March had gotten the rifle away from the man he tried to get hold of the marshal's six shooter and it required some pretty rough treatment before he was subdued and brought back to town where he was. The fellow gives his name as John Zekiel Dury. It is the fourth time he has made these breaks, and last winter when Marshal March was arresting him he made a vicious slash at the officer with a knife cutting a slit in his coat. The general opinion is that the fellow's mind is affected and that the Pueblo asylum is the place for him. He is regarded as irresponsible and dangerous at all times and especially when he drinks, as he was doing yesterday. It is said that he was injured in an Iowa cyclone and has been wrong in the head ever since placed in the county jail. The jury sitting in inquest in the county court, to determine the sanity of John Zekiel Dury, found him insane and Judge Wardlaw committed him to the insane hospital at Pueblo. Among those who know the man best there is no question as to his being insane, and his committal is regarded as a wise move as there is hope that with the treatment he will receive at Pueblo, he may by cured, whereas if permitted to run at large it would be only a matter of time until he would kill some one unless he was first killed, as his weakness runs to throwing guns down on people and shooting about promiscuously.

Rocky Mountain News 12-18-1890 Insane or Criminal Thrilling Scene Enacted in the Pueblo House in Lake City by a Madman Gus Larson is Struck Savagely from Behind by an Individual Named Duffy A Fierce Struggle Ensues and Blood is Spilled Over the Floor of the Room A scene was enacted at the Pueblo house Wednesday evening that was wild and savage while it lasted, and it was most fortunate that it did not prove fatal to two of those most interested. About 9 o'clock Gus Larson and a stranger, who had arrived in town that evening, were sitting near the door talking in an undertone about different matters. Proprietor Patterson, George W. Chandler, Emerson Carr and Duffy, the shoemaker who has recently been employed by P. P. Kennedy, were the only other occupants of the room, the first three quiet and still. Suddenly, without a word, Duffy arose, picked up an ax handle, walked up behind Larson and the stranger and dealt the latter a terrific blow on the back of the head. Larson jumped for the assailant but caught the ax handle on the forehead with such force that he was rendered perfectly crazy, Duffy at the same time calling out to them to leave the room. Mr. Patterson at this point sprang between Duffy and his victims, seizing the handle, and young Carr caught and held Duffy from behind until he became quiet. The wounds of the injured man were dressed and it was found that with care nothing serious would result from them. Duffy Arrested When Duffy was released he went to bed, but soon after was arrested by Marshal Michaels. At a preliminary examination before Judge McKenna last night, after considerable testimony regarding Duffy's strange actions since he has been here was heard, the prisoner was adjudged insane and will be sent to Pueblo. Adjudged Insane While superficial appearances would justify the finding of the jury, and it is true, Duffy's actions might justify the theory of emotional insanity, judging from circumstances and incidents at the trial, we do not believe the man was really more subject to nervous fits than anyone else in Lake City. We would sooner believe he has been playing a shrewd part while here, and is paving the way to escape the penalty for some desperate crimes he has committed in the past. The fact that he carried a rock that would be a deadly missile was hardly favorable to the theory of insanity, and his lucid answers to all immaterial questions, but invariable give it up to questions that might lead to a knowledge of his past whereabouts indicated too much purpose for a derangement of the mind, and if he was sane the answers were shrewdly evasive. Moreover, there was an intelligent but devilish gleam in his eye when he thought no one was observing him, and not a movement escaped his roving glance, though his head was still, that would lead us to say that Mr. Duffy is an ugly and dangerous character, who ought to be serving time in the penitentiary instead of being sent to Pueblo.

Aspen Weekly Times 12-12-1891 Slightly Demented Daniel Duffy, a miner who has been ill at the hospital for some time past, was discharged the first of the week, and since then has been more or less demented, though in a mild manner. He has been rooming at the Windsor hotel, and early last evening left his room, and going to the center of the street soon attracted a large crowd around him by striking a stage attitude and pointing the index finger of his right hand skyward. Friends soon came and took him in charge, and he will probably be turned over to the county officials until he is fully cured. He is not a drinking man and has many friends about the city.

John F. Jack Dugan Leadville Herald Democrat January 14, 1886 Death of John F. Dugan Dugan (Died) On December 26, at the Colorado State asylum for the insane at Pueblo, John F. Dugan, aged about 48 years. The above announcement will be read with painful regret by many of the old-time residents of Lake and Park counties, in which for the last twelve years Jack Dugan had made his home. A detailed account of his earlier life is not obtainable, except that he enlisted in the army when the first news of the rebellion reached his native town of Hillsdale, Michigan. He served through the war and was in many of the principal battles, always distinguishing himself by great courage. After the war he came west, and enjoying the excitement of frontier life, he followed the progress of the Kansas Pacific railroad, locating at each successive terminus of the road until it reached Denver. This portion of his life was checkered with the incidents so usual on the frontier at an early day. On one occasion at River Bend, in Kansas, a soldier from the neighboring post became so abusive that Jack expelled him from his place of business, the soldier left, swearing that he would return in a few minutes and kill him, and true to his word, armed himself with a rifle and made his appearance on the opposite side of the street, when Jack, seizing a carbine that stood against the wall, stepped out of the front door and both fired at the same moment; the soldier fell dead while Jack was uninjured. He immediately reported and surrendered himself to the commandant of the post, who, on investigation, ordered his release. Soon after reaching Denver he located at Alinn, in Park County, where he held the offices of town marshal and constable, and was charged with the duty, under the old territorial laws, of collecting the taxes for the town. Under all circumstances and in all positions he was remarkable for an utter absence of fear, and for his faithfulness to duty. The so called bad men soon learned that the marshal did not fear them either singly or in dozens and that however they might have terrorized other towns they could not do so in Jack's jurisdiction. The money that was often entrusted to his care, and sometimes in large amounts, everyone knew to be as safe as if in the strongest bank vault. In 1878 he came to Leadville, and by energy and industry soon accumulated what would have been a handsome competency, but the development of the town carried business away from the vicinity of his property which depreciated greatly in value. Three years ago he accepted employment as mailing clerk at the Leadville post office, in which position he exhibited the most extreme solicitude to have his work as perfect as possible, and it was while engaged in this position that his associates noticed peculiarities of temper and conduct that finally culminated in a sudden outbreak of insanity. He was removed to the asylum in the hope that a cure might be affected, but he gradually grew worse and died on the day after Christmas. In many respects Jack Dugan was a remarkable man. Whatever may have been the case in earlier days, he was for the last ten years a total abstainer from all forms of intoxicating drinks. When duty called him to act he seemed to regard the greatest dangers as trifles, and risked his life without the least hesitation. Absolutely honest himself, he demanded the same quality in others, and despised meanness under all circumstances. Like all persons of intense feeling, he was liable to error, and many times no doubt his actions may have been determined by the germs of the disease that afterward declared itself the first disorder of the wonderful, mysterious structure of the brain. Economical and frugal in expenditures for himself, he was always ready to relieve the sufferings of others, and when his mind became a wreck, the one only definite purpose remaining was to benefit the poor. As a friend he was loyal and true, as a citizen he was honest and just, and as a man he was the embodiment of all that is meant by the characteristic western expression, he was square. Without knowing it himself, he led a life as noble and chivalrous as did knights of olden time. Innocence and virtue found in him a prompt defender, and he needed no reward but the approval of his own conscience. Requiescat in pace. D. H. D.

Leadville Herald Democrat 1-16-1886 An Eventful Year (1885) A Full and Comprehensive Chronological Record of Important Local Occurrences March 2 Jack Dougan becomes insane
Duggan, John F.
Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 9-22-1886 Dementia Victims. Oakley, the unfortunate little hunch-back, whose reason was temporarily dethroned, and who, after being adjudged insane, was sent from this county to the asylum for the insane at Pueblo, has returned much improved, and is again visible about the resorts. It has always been maintained by his friends and intimate acquaintances that this was the result of a misfortune by which he was overtaken while in the employ of a railroad and occupying a responsible position in the bridge department several years ago. At that time he was on a falling building and crushed beneath its rafters, never recovered from the spinal injuries. He had accumulated considerable money which disappeared with his extravagance, and he was again thrown on his own resources. Of the asylum he speaks in high terms, saying that under the circumstances he could have demanded no better treatment. And he was among a large group sent from this city. There was Waite, the barber, who had in a fit of derangement and insane frenzy attempted to cut his throat. It was said of Waite that his lunacy had been the result of vaccination, the virus used by the physician having apparently set his body on fire. No sooner had the stuff been injected in his arm than he was prostrated, and the hot burning fever began to prey on him. The disease with which he had been unwittingly inoculated began to manifest itself in sickening eruptions on every portion of the body. He consulted the doctors and finally sought relief in the properties of the mountain springs. From these he derived no benefit however. His mind was racked, and returning to the city he grew desperate. One night in February last he seized a razor and drew it violently across his throat. He was then placed in the county jail and after an inquiry had been made in his case, he was sent to the insane asylum. Oakley says he is yet very violent, and his powerful physique is rapidly crumbling beneath the terrible disease. His days, he believes are numbered. At the time this unfortunate man was there, Jack Duggan was raving in one of the apartments, the warden expressing but little hope for his recovery from the first. The awful hallucinations beneath which he fell continued to grow worse from day to day and men shuddered as they heard him day and night in convulsions. His form is said to have wasted like the sensitive plant before the breath of the deadly sirocco, until he was placed as helpless as an invalid in the hospital department. Having exhausted his powers of resistance the warden for the first time expressed a hope of driving the grim demon from his mind, but death came to his relief and one morning he passed away into the silent realms of eternity. Peterson, the irresponsible slayer of one of the workmen on the Iron Silver mine several years ago is still in the asylum, having grown gradually worse until today little hope is entertained for him. He was never violent but moved about his cell in an aimless manner and talking incoherently on some topic the mortal had little to do with. It is thought his condition was vexed by the mock trial to which he was subjected on being placed in the jail, a jury of jailbirds having found him guilty of murder, and sentenced him to hang by the neck. In his delirium he believes himself convicted by a genuine authority, and demanded of the prisoners an execution at their hands. And he believes today that he is to be hung for the murder of his rival for the woman's affections, the difficulty having originated over the contest for a young woman's adulation. There are a number of others who were sent from Leadville who are still in the asylum, and who will probably end the terrible ordeal there in death.

Leadville Daily Herald 3-3-1885 Lost His Reason Almost every man in Leadville knows Jack Dougan. He was constable here for many years, and for some time and up to Sunday evening, was one of the distributing clerks in the postoffice. He has always been known as one of the most kind-hearted men in the city, and would run almost any danger for the sake of a friend. For a long time past his friends have noticed he was growing cranky, as they termed it, but it is not likely any of them thought he was losing his mind till about five weeks ago. On Sunday night, however, the spark of reason seemed to have taken its flight and a warrant was sworn out by Mr. C. C. Davis, one of the poor man's best friends, for his detention. When taken to the jail he raved as only a madman can. Some of the ideas that have taken possession of Dougan would be amusing were they not advanced by a man whom we all know to have once had the full possession of all his faculties. Yesterday afternoon the sheriff secured a jury at the order of Judge Gunnell to pass upon his lunacy. To this body he read a long statement which he had been preparing during the day. It told the tale and their finding was insane. So far it has not been determined what will be done with the man. He has considerable property and will in no event be a charge upon his friends.

Rocky Mountain News 12-24-1894 Harry N. Fairchild was among those removed to Pueblo yesterday morning. He was in charge of Deputy Sheriffs John Murray, A. A. Ebersoll and another attendant. He was, as usual, kept heavily handcuffed with mitts. The unfortunate man raved more quietly than in court on Saturday. He was evidently much exhausted from the trial and was very weak. He talked incoherently to those about him, but offered little resistance as he was placed aboard the cars. It is feared that he will not recover, so great has been the strain upon his nervous system. On the same train were Stephen St. John, Barnell Allen and Mrs. Dunbar. St. John was very noisy, but the other two patients could not by their actions have been distinguished from ordinary passengers. There are left in the hospital six men and eleven women who are insane.

For conveying lunatics to the asylum a bunch of bills as rendered by deputies and one by Sheriff Burchinell were in the hands of the committee
Deputy Sheriff Murray John Murray, deputy sheriff for the past three years, was sworn. He testified that he had been one of the bailiffs in the county court under Burchinell. The custom was to take one insane patient to the asylum at a time in 1894, as in the preceding year with the exception of July 1893. Then Mr. Nichols was away and Tommy Anderson proposed to show just how the transfer should be done. He put four guards in charge of eleven insane. Only two got away on the train, said the witness, laughing at the recollection. Mr. Anderson managed to round up the others in time for the afternoon train
In taking patients to Pueblo five cents mileage was charged for the 128 miles going and the same for returning. Ten cents for the round trip going and coming, was it not? asked Mr. Stevens, presenting a voucher. Mr. Murray put on his glasses and looked at the bill. He said he did not make out the bills, simply signed them. The writing on that particular bill was in Davidson's hand. An expense bill of Dec. 4 for James Short and Patrick Rowen was produced. The fee bill was for conveying each prisoner $13.10, and mileage for officer $12.80, a total of $25.90. December 22 B. L. Allen and Julia Dunber were taken down together according to the bills. Other expenses were $39, making a total of $64.90. Was not the additional officer simply a guard? asked Mr. Stevens. I can't say, replied Mr. Murray, I didn't make out the bills.

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.

Dunckley, who is about 50 years old, has been a resident of Routt county for many years, residing in the Williams park section. A number of years ago he sustained an injury in a railroad accident, his head being crushed, and his mind has long been somewhat unbalanced. Recently he has imagined that his neighbors have been trying to steal his stock, consisting of a few horses, and has indulged in threats against many persons. Charles B.

Aspen Democrat 2-22-1908 Henry Dunlap was adjudged insane yesterday in the county court. Judge Rucker appeared in behalf of the unfortunate man, while attorney Clark represented the people. At the present writing Judge Rogers has not decided whether to send Mr. Dunlap to the state asylum to the Work sanitarium for treatment. This is a very sad case as Mr. Dunlap was prior to this derangement and exceptionally bright young man. He served through the Spanish-American war in Cuba and it is believed that the climatic conditions and service was the starting point for his present affliction. After the war he was under a heavy mental strain while living in Texas, many of his speculations not turning out as he had expected. Being in a nervous temperament these worries proved too much for him and today he is suffering from temporary mental weakness. The physicians believe Mr. Dunlap will recover his normal condition in a very short time with proper treatment such as he will now receive.

Rocky Mountain News 11-23-1897 Meant to Kill Dr. P. V. Carlin Attorney (Anthony) Dunn Tries to Settle a Grudge of Twelve Years Had Anthony Dunn carried out his intention of killing Dr. Patrick V. Carlin yesterday he could not have escaped conviction for premeditated murder. From early morning till afternoon he searched for the physician with murder in his heart and finally, at 3 o'clock he created a scene by attempting to kill Dr. Carlin in the latter's office at 916 Fourteenth street. He drew a revolver, but owing to his nervous condition was unable to use the weapon and after a fierce struggle he was disarmed and handed over to the police. A charge of insanity was made against the prisoner. The trouble between the men was of twelve years' standing and Dunn, after much brooding, reached the conclusion on the 10th instant that it would be advisable to take the physician's life. He called that day at a second-hand store and paid $1 for a revolver of a cheap pattern. His nerve failed him the day he purchased the weapon and he postponed the attempt. Yesterday morning at 7 o'clock he awoke fully determined to murder Dr. Carlin on sight. Patrolled the West Side He called at a number of places where he supposed he would find his old enemy and for several hours patrolled the streets on the West side, hoping that the doctor would come within range of his bullets. At 3 o'clock he paid a second visit to the office. He opened the outside door and stepped into the hallway. Dr. Carlin came to the door of his office and the moment he appeared, Dunn drew the revolver. An exciting fight followed. Dunn pushed open the door which the physician had attempted to close, and in the struggle Dr. Carlin caught the man's wrist and turned the revolver towards the owner. Friends of the doctor came to his aid and Dunn was handed over to Sergeant Bohanna. Although he was booked as an insane person, Dunn appeared to be in full possession of his senses at the city jail last evening. He is 55 years of age, short and gray-haired. His eyes are blue and deep set. Dunn has followed the occupation of a carpenter and has lived in Denver for a number of years. Lately he has been boarding at 1046 Seventh street. I intended, he said, to let Dr. Carlin take his Christmas dinner in another world. All day I have been looking for him and I hoped to find him on some nice quiet street where nobody else would be injured after I began shooting. After I started out in the morning I expected to meet him somewhere in West Denver, where there were few people around, but he didn't show up. I went to his barn at 1420 South Fifteenth street, and I guess he smelled a rat and skipped out just before I got there. At 1 o'clock I went to his office, but he was not in. The second time I went to the office I found him there and when he came out I pulled my revolver to shoot him dead. Well, the ----- thing wouldn't work and I hit him on the wrist. I pushed my way into the office and I struck him behind the ear. I would have fired, but the gun was in line with my own body and I thought that prudence was the better part of valor, so to speak. No Thought About Hanging When a man goes out to kill, nothing will stop him. If there had been a regiment of soldiers present and if I knew that the minute I killed that man every one of the soldiers would pierce my heart with a bullet, I would have killed him just the same. I didn't care a straw for hanging or life imprisonment. I wanted his life blood and I was going to get it. I am sorry I didn't kill him. If I had only taken my rifle instead of that revolver I might have accomplished something. I can handle a rifle. The revolver was a single action, and I had supposed that it was double action. I wanted to let the old trouble drop, but I got to thinking so much about it that I became nervous, and at last nothing would satisfy me but murder. I had a great longing to kill him and nothing would have made me happier than to have shot him down. Dunn talked in this line for about half an hour. He deeply regretted that he had not accomplished his purpose of bringing the doctor's life to a sudden termination. He is said to be demented, although nothing in his conduct at the city jail indicates that he is out of his mind, save his insane desire for vengeance on account of the old differences between himself and Dr. Carlin. Concerning the trouble he said that it would come out in court when his case is called for trial. Dr. Carlin's Statement Dunn in undoubtedly insane, said Dr. P. V. Carlin last night. About five months ago his son, a young man about 25 years of age, who works in the Denver Dry Goods company's store, came to me and informed me that his father was going to kill me. This forenoon I learned that he had been around to the office, and was also told that he had been at my residence. I returned to my office in the afternoon and was about to examine a patient when I thought I heard the mail man in the hall. I went to the door and found Dunn there. He pulled a revolver and said, 'I've got you now,' but he couldn't use it. I grabbed him, and as he was a smaller man, he was not hard to handle. My brother, Dr. T. G. Carlin, then rushed in and we took the revolver away from him. The row lasted only a few moments, however. Dr. P. V. Carlin was slightly injured on the hand and head, but the other participants escaped without a scratch. Dunn formerly possessed a good deal of property and he has lost most of it during the past two years. On all subjects save that of murder he seems to be perfectly rational. His desire to put a period to the doctor's existence is still uppermost in his mind. It is said that his son will make a complaint against him charging lunacy.

Rocky Mountain News 11-23-1897 It Missed Fire Anthony Dunn Tried to Do Murder With an Old Gun Anthony Dunn, of 1046 Seventh street, aged 55 years, made an unsuccessful attempt to kill Dr. P. V. Carlin in Carlin's office, at 916 Fourteenth street, late yesterday afternoon. Dunn was knocked down and disarmed by Carlin and his brother, Dr. T. J. Carlin. He is now confined in the city jail on the charge of insanity. About 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon Dunn appeared at Carlin's office. He was armed with a cheap revolver of the bulldog pattern and without any hesitation opened the front door and entered. Dr. Carlin, who was in the next room with a patient, heard the door open, and thinking it was the postman he stepped out into the hall, where Dunn was standing. Now, I've got you, said Dunn, as he raised the revolver and pulled the trigger. The cartridge did not explode and before Dunn had time to recock it Carlin grabbed him and a struggle for possession of the weapon commenced. Carlin called loudly for his brother, who was in the next room, and the brother came to his aid. They threw Dunn on the floor, took the revolver away from him and held him until the patrol wagon, which had been summoned, arrived. Then the Carlins turned him over to the police. Before they succeeded in disarming Dunn Dr. P. V. Carlin received a blow in the face which discolored his eye. His hand was also hurt and he had to be bandaged. Carlin was the physician for the Dunn family for a number of years, but two years ago the family separated and Dunn alleges that Carlin was the cause. Dunn says he looked for Carlin all day yesterday and would have shot him down in the streets had he met him there. He expressed grief at his failure to kill Carlin, and said he would gladly suffer the consequence if he could have carried out his intention. Dunn is an upholsterer and carpenter and has lived in this city for nearly fifteen years, and has a wife and a grown son. Carlin says Dunn is insane and will have him tried as to his sanity in the county court.

The feature of the inquisition was the testimony of the 22-year-old son and the wife, who has been married to Dunn for twenty-eight years. Young Dunn regretted being compelled to send his father to the asylum, but he considered the family's life in danger were the accused permitted to go at large. One of the father's hallucinations is that his wife and Dr. Carlin are conspiring to do away with him by poison in order that they can procure the benefits of a $2,000 life insurance.

He is a near relative to a well known Denver physician and is said to be a man of fine scholarly attainments, but has lately, it is said, behaved with great violence towards his relatives and he acted very strangely when brought into court yesterday. County Attorney Mills appeared for the people and F. A. Williams, Esq., acted as guardian ad litem. Dr. Dunning regarded the witnesses with a silly smile and a strange stare. He tried to get away from the sheriff's officers when brought into court. Some six or eight prominent Denver physicians appeared as witnesses to his insanity. The case was on trial before a jury at a late hour yesterday afternoon, and from what could be learned it appeared likely that they would return a verdict of insane.

Dustin, Ione
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. Another feature of the woman's insanity showed itself in the shape of a mania for writing the names of the family upon the blank portion of the bulletin board. Her hands were bound by a leather jacket, but this did not prevent her from exercising insane ingenuity to the extent of placing the crayon in her teeth, getting down on her knees in front of the board and writing intelligently every name of the family. During the trial of the matter before the jury she used the vilest language that could be imagined in chastising those who took the stand to testify against her. One of her favorite expressions was: You're a liar you didn't belong to our McKinley club last fall and the treasurer stole all our money. As soon as the doctor who had attended her took the stand she stormed again and applied every epithet known to the vulgar vocabulary to him. Also while the judge was reading the instructions to the jury she called him to account and applied the same set of choice sentiments to him. Mrs. Dustin has been living at 1361 South Eleventh street, where she has a husband who is blind, and two grandchildren. Those who are acquainted with the woman say that she has been in the asylum in Kansas before for seven weeks. She was adjudged insane.

Dutton, Percy A.
Denver Evening Post 7-27-1897 Wild Man Tied With Ropes and Brought to the City Jail Percy A. Dutton, who is supposed to be demented, was brought to the police station late yesterday afternoon by William H. Kinney, a ranchman living near Harris, Colorado. The first charge against Dutton was that of attempting to wreck a train on the Gulf road at the place where he was arrested. This charge was afterwards changed to malicious mischief and a warrant on this charge was sworn out in Crane's court this morning. Dutton is about 30 years old and apparently a laborer by occupation. Yesterday afternoon, he went to a blacksmith shop at Harris and asked to borrow a monkey wrench. The implement was loaned him and he left the shop. Shortly afterwards he was discovered unscrewing the burs from the joints of the railroad tracks. The men at the station thought he was a track repairer and did not molest him for some time, and until he had removed the bolts that hold the rails together and had thrown the track out of plumb, so that if a train had come along it would have been ditched. Then a crowd gathered around the man and he was arrested by the citizens of that place and brought to Denver as stated above. Dutton resisted arrest and fought his captors with the ferociousness of a wild animal. His clothing was nearly torn from his body but he was finally tied with ropes and landed in jail. When he was taken from the jail he presented a most horrible appearance. His face was covered with a growth of beard about six weeks old and he had on an old faded cotton shirt from which the sleeve had been torn from the shoulder. He wore a pair of blue overalls and an old pair of Rockford sox covered his feet, but these he kicked off on the way to the justice court. He wore no hat and his hair was matted in an untangable (?) mass. He refused to accompany the officers to the court and had to be handcuffed and pushed along. He refused to talk on any subject and did not speak a word during the whole morning. When Justice Crane saw his condition he immediately ordered Dutton to the county jail, as he believed him to be insane. The case will come up for trial tomorrow. When Dutton reached the county jail accompanied by Officer Christie, he was a composite representation of everything hideous. One arm torn out of his shirt, hair unkempt, beard stubby, dirty from head to foot, bare-footed and sullen. He took a seat when directed to and then began to gaze at the big clock as if feigning insanity. A pair of slippers such as are furnished the prisoners was brought in to him. He looked at them a moment, uttered an unintelligible something and then threw them violently across the floor. A severe reprimand finally quieted him and he stood up to have the record of the jail made out. How old are you? was asked. Betwixt 32 and 22, grumbled Dutton. Where were you born? I moved away from there right away so how am I to know. I wish somebody would patch my clothes. His measure was taken and the man scuffled slovenly to his cell where he refused to take a bath until the guard got an order from the doctor guaranteeing him that no danger to his health would be encountered.

Jeannotte, composing the lunacy commission of the county court, who recommended to County Judge O'Mahoney that she be cared for in the future at the state asylum at Pueblo. For several years Mrs. Dwyer has been considered queer by those who were acquainted with her, and before she was taken to the county hospital a few weeks ago for maintenance she was considered to be in a pitiable condition. She has lived by herself for years after separating a number of years ago from her husband. It is probable she will be taken to Pueblo by the sheriff today. M. J. Kilkenny was appointed as conservator of the woman's property, which consists of the Pilgrim and Little Alice mining claims, a house and lot at 408 East Fourteenth street and lots 10 and 11, block D. Stevens and Leiter addition. The property was appraised at $2,000 (?) in the court yesterday. Attorney H. R. Pendery appeared for the county and Attorney R. D. McLeod as guardian ad litem.

This property will be distributed among eight relatives, each being given an eighth interest. The relatives are Alice, Henry, Lulu and William Koechling, John, Eulia, George and August Meister. Henry Koechling of Jefferson county, Mo., was made executor of the will by the pioneer woman. In admitting the will for probate, Judge O'Mahoney appointed Attorney A. B. Crosswhite as attorney for the estate. Mrs. Dwyer was adjudged insane in the county court May 25 last. She died at the state asylum at Pueblo, June 12. According to the will which said she was 64 years old in 1913, she was 68 years old.
