Rocky Mountain News 4-11-1883 Hackett's Hobbies The Pardoned Prisoner on Trial For Insanity The Jury Returns a Verdict of Insane He Imagines Himself Inherent Grand Master of Masons Sheriff Jones, of Canon City, arrived in the city early yesterday morning, accompanied by Joe Hackett, who was recently pardoned out of the penitentiary by Governor Grant. Hackett was under a sentence of nine years in the penitentiary, having been convicted of shooting and killing David Carnes on Christmas night, 1879. Hackett was out on a spree with a number of young fellows that night and when near the end of Blake street bridge they got into a quarrel. Pistols were drawn by several and a shot was fired. The ball took effect in Carnes' leg and blood poisoning set in, which resulted in Carnes' death. Hackett was arrested for having fired the shot, was indicted and convicted and sent up for nine years, notwithstanding the fact that he protested his innocence all the time. Hackett is undoubtedly a man of large experience and good education, a good talker and had many friends in Denver, who stood by him faithfully during his trial. The effect of the sentence upon him was overwhelming. It worked upon his mind to such an extent that it was soon apparent to the prison officials that he was partially demented. When he first entered the prison he was quiet, reserved in demeanor and well behaved, gaining the confidence and respect of his keepers. After a time he became boisterous and noisy. When locked up in his cell he would sing despite the efforts of the prison officials to prevent him, and oftimes would deliver long speeches for the benefit of his guards. His hobby was Free Masonry, and he believed that he inherited as a birthright the position of grand master mason of the world, and also all the powers of a cardinal of the Roman Catholic church. As these indications of insanity began to grow the poor fellow's friends in this city took steps to secure his release, and circulated a petition to that effect. Governor Grant granted the pardon, but Hackett, laboring under the insane delusion that he must have a new trial to vindicate himself, and that he was a martyr in the cause of Free Masonry, who could not, according to the laws of the order accept any benefit from a supposed enemy, refused to accept the pardon and remained in the penitentiary. His Denver friends made an effort to induce him to quit the prison, but it was unavailing. He would not go out except upon an order from a court granting him a new trial. A bogus order was given him, but Hackett upon looking at it pronounced it to be a forgery, and refused to leave. Recently the officers of the prison have become very anxious to get rid of Hackett, and consulted the county commissioners of Fremont county. They hit upon a plan last Saturday, and left the matter to Sheriff Jones, who went to Hackett. The latter told the officer that he was in the Masonic hell (meaning the prison), and no judges could betray him to leave. Sheriff Jones talked to Hackett a good deal, and finally secured his consent to accompany him (Jones) to Denver. On arriving in this city Hackett was taken immediately to the county jail, where there was some dispute between the guard and Sheriff Jones about receiving Hackett because he was very noisy. Sheriff Spangler happened to be up town, but was caught on the telephone, and at first he refused to have Hackett go into the jail and wanted him taken to the county hospital. Hackett was an eager listener to this conversation, and when the result was announced Hackett became very violent. He seized a lamp, which was upon a table near at hand, and raising it over his head exclaimed: I have used you fellows as tools to take me to Demver, and now I'm here and don't want you any longer. I won't move a step; I'm here and intend to stay, and if there is any more funny work I'll burn the damned old jail to the ground. He held the lamp over his head as if he intended to dash it on the floor, but finally placed it upon a safe and then stood guard over it. None of the officers dared to interfere with him lest he should carry his threat into execution. Sheriff Spangler was again telephoned for and he went to the jail with all possible haste. His appearance mollified Hackett considerably and he left the lamp. Sheriff Spangler finally consented to having him locked up for the night. Yesterday Judge Harrington, of the County court, postponed all business in order to try Hackett's sanity. The court room was crowded by friends of his, who were present out of sympathy for him. General Sam Browne appeared for the state. Hackett watched the proceedings with unusual interest, and took each witness against him to task for the slightest variation from what he conceived to be facts. Several times he interrupted the proceedings by attempting to make speeches to the court and jury to convince them that the witnesses against him did not know what they were talking about, and when pushed back into his seat would grumble about being deprived of the fundamental rights of an American citizen. The first witness was James Hackett, the insane man's brother. He told all about his brother's early life, his habits and what he knew of his alleged insanity. Sheriff Jones testified that when he first saw Hackett he refused to leave the penitentiary; said that he was a brother of Bob Ingersoll and Grand Master of the Masonic order of the world. Yes, I told you that I was grand master of the world by inheritance, didn't I? Hackett broke in. Didn't I tell you, too, that Spangler was my uncle and that I was in the Masonic hall? Yes, gentlemen, turning to the audience and partially rising to his feet, I was in the Masonic hell and it is written in indelible letters on the pages of masonic history. Deputy Sheriff Linton said that Hackett was very much changed from his former self, and when he visited him at the county jail yesterday morning he accused him of being in the plot. Hackett also asked him if he had seen the earth move. I did, Hackett said, and I was shaken up very badly. At the conclusion of his testimony Hackett was placed on the stand. He said he was a graduate of the Notre Dame university in 1873. He was born and raised in Chicago. What is your name? his attorney asked. My name is Joseph Allebus Creser Napoleon Bonaparte Hackett, and I am, by inheritance, grand master of Masons of the earth. Hackett then jumped to his feet and began a wild and incoherent declaration about Masons and guardian angels, in which there was a good deal of blasphemy and language unfit for publication. The court called upon him to sit down, but he refused, saying he had the floor and intended to keep it. He was finally induced to take a seat, but kept up a constant grumbling in a loud voice. He finally broke out again, I tell you I'm not insane. They say I sung at the county jail. I'll bet you a thousand to one that if you bring out the whole medical faculty of the world they will tell you that an insane man never sings. That's law, and I know it. The case was given to the jury, who returned a verdict of insanity, and Hackett was taken to the county jail. He will probably be kept in the hospital.

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

Colorado Weekly Chieftain 3-18-1880 Sad Case A man named Haggerty, a resident of Denver, has for some time past been an inmate of the lunatic asylum in this city and is now so much improved that he will be discharged in a few days. On Friday his wife, who is living in Denver with several children, lost her reason, and she also will be received at the asylum to-day. The Denver Republican gives the following account of this unfortunate family: A sad case was reported to Poor Inspector Crocker yesterday, that of Mrs. Kate Haggerty, who lived in the extreme suburbs of the city near Decker's brick yard, occupying a miserable hovel that was exposed to all kinds of weather, and unable to protect herself and her three little children from the bitter cold that set in Thursday night. Mr. Crocker visited the house in person several days ago and found the circumstances exactly as had been reported to him. The woman is insane and the children, aged from four to eight years, exposed to every wild freak of their demented mother. Their father has been an inmate of the insane asylum for some time. The inspector ordered fuel and provisions to be taken to the house, and while Mrs. Haggerty availed herself of the coal sent her, she destroyed most of the food, asserting that it had been poisoned. The children were thus not only exposed to the cold, against which alone they were barely able to protect themselves, but also to the danger of starvation. The neighbors reported these facts to the authorities yesterday, and Officer Phillips repaired to Mrs. Haggerty's house yesterday evening with a hack, and assisted by several others the mother and children were brought to the city, Mrs. Haggerty finding temporary lodging in the county jail and the children in the poor house.

Rocky Mountain News 3-13-1880 Crazed by Worrying Mrs. Kate Haggerty, an insane woman living in the vicinity of Decker's brick-yard, was arrested by officer Phillips last evening as she was not in condition to take care of herself or her three little children, who were in a pitiful plight caused by neglect. Considerable difficulty was experienced by the officer in getting the woman into a carriage, as she didn't feel inclined that way and stoutly resisted. After procuring the assistance of a number of gentlemen the woman was at last put into the hack and taken to jail. In returning for the children, who were taken to the county poor house, the hack was tipped over on the prairie and the tongue broken off, which caused a delay of half an hour or more. No one was hurt, but as the night was extremely cold the officer was obliged to divest himself of his overcoat to keep the little ones from freezing. The city had been supplying Mrs. Haggerty with fuel and groceries, which were not used by the woman, who thought in her ravings that everything surrounding her was poisoned. The woman had been standing in the open door of her house all the afternoon, singing hymns and exposing herself and the children to the cold and snow. The case was reported to officer Phillips, who found the woman still engaged in singing at 9 o'clock last night and the children huddled up on a bundle of rags in one corner of the desolate room. The father of this family is now in the insane asylum at Pueblo. The mother's insanity is attributed to worrying about her children.

A sympathizing ranchman took him in and gave him his supper. After partaking of the hospitality of the kind hearted stranger Haigh started in to take forcible possession of the ranchman's home. A fierce struggle ensued and with the aid of several of the ranch hands, Haigh was overpowered and tied hands and feet.

Denver Evening Post 9-21-1895 Nearly a Murder An Insane Man Attempts to Kill a Fellow Prisoner in Jail L. A. Haigh, an insane prisoner from Valverde, who was lodged in the city jail late yesterday, made a desperate attempt to murder Ed Middaugh, a fellow prisoner in the bull pen. Middaugh was arrested earlier in the day on the charge of grand larceny, and was the only occupant of Hobo corridor when Haigh arrived. When the latter was arrested he was booked as an epileptic, but a short time later it was found he was dangerously insane. Haigh inquired a few minutes after his arrival if his fellow prisoner was the Savior. Middaugh paid no attention to his fellow prisoner's insane jest and walked to another part of the bull pen. The insane man silently followed Middaugh, and without warning grabbed him about the neck with such horrible force that the unfortunate prisoner could not summon assistance. Both men struggled desperately. Middaugh heroically resisted the crazy man's efforts to dash his brains out against the brick wall. In the excitement and struggle the insane prisoner released his hold on his victim's neck, and this opportunity saved Middaugh his life. With this liberty he screamed for help and the trustees summoned Jailer Hobart. The jailer shackled Haigh's hands and his body to the floor to prevent him injuring himself. His fellow prisoner was removed to another cell. His neck was badly swollen and required the attention of Police Surgeon Mack.

Carbonate Chronicle 4-5-1920 Around the City As Seen By Our Reporters on Their Daily Rounds Will Be Sent to Sanitarium The lunacy Commission composed of Drs. R. H. McDonald and J. A. Jeannotte, after an examination in the county court room yesterday afternoon, found John Hakala, aged 22 years, as having a distracted mind. They also handed down a decision that he be sent to the Woodcroft sanitarium, at Pueblo, for treatment under the care of a specialist. A complaint was filed in the county court by Hakala's brother, showing that John Hakala was mentally unbalanced. Yesterday afternoon he was given a hearing before the county judge, county attorney, the Lunacy Commission and the _______ attorney for Hakala. In the last year the boy developed peculiar symptoms, which has caused considerable uneasiness in the family. A number of times, it is alleged, he attempted to strike his mother and threatened harm to sisters and brothers. Drs. McDonald and Jeannotte, the family physicians, who know the boy practically from childhood, testified that a radical change has come over him in the last year and that his mentality is not like that of a normal boy. According to the examinations given him, he has a craving for books. He will open a book, read the first chapter and then discard it. He will do this repeatedly. The doctors believe that two months care at the sanitarium in Pueblo may be of some benefit to him. He will probably be taken to Pueblo today by Undersheriff J. Murray.

Castle Rock Journal 4-1-1898 - Oscar Hake, the Lunatic - It will take a law suit to determine to what state the lunatic, Oscar Hake belongs. The authorities of Wisconsin claim he does not belong to them and Governor Adams insists that the state of Colorado should not be burdened with him. In order to settle the matter Attorney General Carr drew up an agreement yesterday, which will be signed by Governor Adams and the vice president of the State Board of Control of the Wisconsin Reformatory, Charitable and Penal Institutions. The agreement provides that Hake is confined in the insane asylum at Pueblo at the expense of the state of Wisconsin until the controversy is finally decided. In the meantime the state of Wisconsin agrees to bring a suit in the District Court of Larimer County to determine which state is responsible for Hake's support. Each party has the right of appeal, and if it is finally decided that Colorado should take care of Hake this state agrees to reimburse Wisconsin for the money paid to this state.

State of Colorado - Attorney General's Office, Denver, Colorado, December 16, 1897 - Hon. Alva Adams, Governor, State Capitol, City: Dear Sir I am in receipt of a letter addressed to your excellancy, handed me by you, from Jas. E. Heg, president of the state board of control, charitable and penal institutions of the state of Wisconson, in which he states that one, Oscar Hake, who was a resident of Colorado, his home being at Fort Collins, where he has a wife and child still living, is noe in the Jefferson County, Wisconson, asylum as a patient, and requests you to state what steps you desire them to take in the premises. I have communicated with Dr. Thombs, the superintendent of the Insane Asylum at Pueblo, and he informs me that this patient was committed to the asylum from Fort Collins, and after remaining there some little time was finally discharged as having been cured. Such being the case, I can not see that the state of Colorado is under any obligation to do anything in the premises whatever. Having been restored to health, he can not be considered as having been any longer a linatic in this state, and it was undoubtedly his privelege yo go to Wisconsin if they saw fit to do so. Being there, he was under the jurisdiction of the authorities of that state, and if they saw fit to commit him to an insane asylum, I can not see that you have any authority to demand his extradition, or to do anything in the premises whatever. Very respectfully your, B.L. Carr, Attorney General

Moore and Oscar Hoke, two lunatics en route to the state insane asylum, were temporarily sheltered in the city jail this morning. The pair were in charge of Sheriffs Dwyer of Boulder and Bowson of Larimer county. Both men are hopelessly insane. Hoke's condition is attributed to a too thorough digestion of news concerning Shlatter. He has the new messiah on the brain, so to speak. Hoke is usually untractable, but can be governed by mention of the messiah. He refused to eat his dinner to-day, but when Jailer Hobart gave him the tip that the messiah wished him to do so Hoke ate ravenously. The same fraud was practiced on the Larimer county lunatic to induce him to accompany the sheriff peaceably to the depot.

Denver Evening Post 3-19-1898 Denver Wins Oscar Hake Wisconsin's Special Agent Played a Trick on the City Oscar Hake, the insane man whose custody Colorado and Wisconsin are trying to shirk, was lodged in the city prison this morning by the special agent sent here by Wisconsin to foist him upon Colorado. He said he would take Hake out within an hour, but failed to appear at 1 o'clock, and it is now thought he boarded a train for Wisconsin, leaving the prisoner in the hands of the city. Hake is a harmless man about 35 years old, but is decidedly insane. He looked nearly worn out from his travels, and grins at the thought that no one can be induced to take him. The special agent stated that unless the trouble could be amicably settled before night he would take him back to Wisconsin and turn him loose. It is now feared that this will not be done and the city of Denver will have to look out for him.

Denver Evening Post 3-21-1898 Still Here Oscar Hake is a Permanent Charge on Denver Denver has been made a victim. The Pride of the Rockies has on its hands a lunatic whose citizenship is a question that so far has not yet been settled and from the present outlook the city will be obliged to keep him. The state officials refuse to have anything to do with him, the county commissioners also refuse and the agent in whose charge the lunatic was placed cannot be found. This poor fellow is Oscar Hake. Does he belong to Wisconsin or to Colorado? The responsibility of Hake's location here rests between Captain of Police Phillips of this city and John Charles of Menominee, Wisconsin. Charles arrived in Denver Saturday morning from Fort Collins, having Hake in charge. He applied to Captain Phillips for permission to place the lunatic in the city jail until he could settle the dispute between the officials of the two states. He thought this would consume about an hour. It is customary for the city officials to extend this courtesy to officers and Captain Phillips allowed Charles to place Hake in the city jail. Charles has not been seen since and the lunatic remains in jail. Three years ago Hake lived in Larimer county and became demented. He was sent to the asylum and discharged after a while as cured. Then he went to Menominee, Wis., his native place. He became insane there and the authorities of that place decided to send him back to Colorado. To do this they were obliged to appoint an agent to bring the lunatic here. John Charles is the architect for the state board of control of Wisconsin, and as he wanted to see Colorado he was given the appointment. He arrived here a week ago on his way to Larimer county, leaving the insane man in the city jail while he waited for his train to convey him to Fort Collins. Arriving there the authorities refused to accept Hake. Charles threatened to release Hake in that flourishing little city and was cautioned not to do so. Then he took him to the asylum at Pueblo and the officials at that institution also refused to accept him. Charles did not know what to do, but in his faraway city he had heard that Denver was a good dumping ground, so he brought the lunatic here on Saturday and talked to the police into accepting him for an hour. Then he went to Governor Adams and was told that Colorado refused to accept Hake. That was the last seen of him and it is believed he boarded a train for his home, leaving his charge upon the city of Denver. Just what the city will do with Hake is not known, but no more courtesies will be shown to officers who pass through here with prisoners.

Denver Evening Post 3-22-1898 Hake Was Not Deserted Oscar Hake, the insane man who, the authorities of two states refuse to shelter, is still confined in the city jail. John Charles, the agent in whose charge Hake was sent to Colorado, called at police headquarters last night and apologized for not coming around oftener. The police thought Charles had jumped out of town, leaving the insane man in the hands of the city.

Mr. Mylrea conferred with Governor Adams and Attorney General Carr about the question of which state should bear the expense of supporting Hake. It was finally decided to submit the matter to the courts for a decision. Meanwhile Hake will remain at Pueblo at the expense of Colorado.

Ouray Herald 3-15-1907 Poor Old Bob Robert Halinan, an old time resident of Silverton, well and favorably known to almost everybody in these parts, Red Mountain and Durango, as an all round carpenter and mine timberman, was brought up from Durango where he had been a inmate of the Mercy Hospital for the past two years by Sheriff Palmquist, Tuesday, on a charge of insanity. A short time ago, poor old Bob, laboring under the hallucination that enemies were injecting a sight-destroying acid made from an electric process into his eyes, attempted suicide by cutting his throat, which attempt proving futile, his wounds were properly attended to and he was safely landed in town as above stated. Wednesday morning the case was tried before Judge McNutt, the jury in accordance with the evidence elicited, rendering a verdict of insanity, his Honor sentencing the patient to the insane asylum at Pueblo. Basing an opinion upon the testimony of Dr. Fox, the case, for more than partial recovery, seems a hopeless one, Sheriff Palmquist departed with his charge for Pueblo Thursday. Silverton Standard.

Telluride Daily Journal 9-26-1914 Hall Adjudged Insane Today in County Court Barto Hall, a young rancher, who was taken into custody by Sheriff Edward Hoffman and County Physician Dr. J. W. S. Cross on Wilson mesa, several days ago, was adjudged insane by a jury of his peers in the county court, in the court room of the court house this morning. Hall will be taken to Work's Sanitarium in Pueblo by Sheriff Hoffman in the next day or two. Following a protracted period of drunkenness, Hall became violent and escaping from the ranch house on Wilson mesa at which he was staying, wandered about on the mesa nearly nude for the greater part of one night. Before escaping from his room he injured a couple of ranch hands by beating and biting them. Since being confined in the county jail he has raved almost continually, suffering from the delusion that he is being persecuted. Though the victim of an aggravated attack of delirium tremens, it was also proved that Hall had been several times mentally unbalanced. At the trial this morning four witnesses were examined, who testified regarding Hall's condition both when under the influence of liquor as well as when possessed of his mental faculties. Among those testifying at the trial were: Dr. J. W. S. Cross, James Boyer and daughter, Miss Minnie, and Undersheriff Edgar Kracaw. After hearing the evidence and conferring for a few moments, the jury, comprised of A. B. Cooper, J. H. Litchfield, Oscar Bobbit, W. Shields, G. W. Decker and L. C. Jackisch, rendered a verdict adjudging Hall insane. The condition of Hall precluded his being brought into the court room, but the jury was permitted to see him in his cell in the county jail. The court appointed Attorney Stemens to represent Hall, Deputy District Attorney E. B. Adams appearing for the people of the state. The case was heard before County Judge M. L. Brown.

Hall was adjudged insane at a hearing given him in the county court Saturday morning last. While little trouble was expected in getting the man to his destination, it was deemed advisable to take no chances and C. S. Tallman was sworn in to assist Undersheriff Kracaw in the task.

The trip to Pueblo was made without accident or incident, the prisoner Hall creating no disturbance whatever.

Rocky Mountain News 12-22-1893 Lunatics in Court Affectionate Advances Not Received with Pleasure T. F. Hall and Michael Boyle made things lively in the county court room yesterday during their trial for lunacy. Mr. Boyle, a strapping big fellow, gave vent to a flow of language that is seldom equaled. He cursed the judge and the lawyers, the doctor, the jury, the clerk, the bailiff and everybody in general, and then began all over again. The jury found him insane. Dr. Mack says that Hall had confusional insanity. The old fellow was disgustingly dirty and ragged. He utterly refused to be seated on the witness stand. He seemed to think that there was some fell plot in the endeavor to make him do so and kept a wary eye on the clerk and the bailiff. When asked where he was, he surveyed the walls of the county court room and ventured the opinion that he was in a hotel. He created some amusement afterwards by endeavoring to seize a reporter of The News in his brawny arms. The mirth was shared by the reporter to a limited degree.

He smashed a window in Armour's office on lower Nineteenth street. Then he broke a window in Hammond's office. Later he appeared at the office of Swift & Co. on lower Nineteenth street. He jumped through a window into the office and chased a clerk out through another window. He was followed to Seventeenth and Lawrence streets where he was arrested and taken to jail. In jail he became quite violent.

Denver Daily Tribune 2-15-1879 Wisdom's Waif A New Subject For the Proposed Insane Asylum Eliza Halpin, who is an old timer in Colorado was adjudged a lunatic in the county court yesterday. Eliza is not noted for her beauty as much as for her peculiarities, nor for her good taste as displayed in her dress, as for the wisdom which she claims to possess. For the past three or four years, and possibly longer, she has wandered up and down the highways and by-ways of Denver a low, stumpy dirty, sloven woman, with her uncombed hair, falling over her shoulders, and her face apparently unwashed for weeks. She always seemed in a dream, and could often be seen frequently at 12 o'clock at night, or at sunrise in the morning sitting on the bank of the Platte. So far as known she never attempted to hurt anyone; indeed she seldom ever took any heed of persons about her. Not long since she was sent to the county poor house and while there seems to have developed a terrible dislike for the matron and not long since made a downright attack upon that lady. She was then locked up in a room, and was yesterday brought before Judge Steck, as aforesaid, and after a careful inquest on the part of a jury, was adjudged to be of unsound mind. Eliza was a witness herself. She talks quite freely and strings words together with the glibness of a newspaper reporter. She has conceived, among other things, a wonderful idea of herself, and that is what leads her into her trouble. She says that her parents named her Eliza, but that her real name is Wisdom, and furthermore that her character justifies the name. She claims that she knows everything; that the mysteries of medicine, the cause and character of pain, the intricacies of the law, the origin of the species and the source of life are all and all alike familiar to her, Indeed she is an inspired daughter of the earth. At the time she was three years old she declares that she developed this power of omniscience and that though when the statement is analized it seems quite absurd she has been increasing the faculty since. As she put sit they said she was rather purty and was given to the sayin of smart things. She talks a great deal about a rod of electricity, the influence of which she says is very deleterious. She thinks that this is held over the head, and that it deadens the senses. She has frequently been the subject of this magic power, and it has caused her no little trouble; and if she is insane, the mania is to be traced to her troubles thus caused. But she doesn't believe she is insane; at any rate, she declares that County Physician Lemen and County Commissioner Crocker are a great deal fitter subjects for Colorado's proposed new State Institution than she is. Wisdom was aided and encouraged by the counsel of one of Denver's ablest lawyers; but not withstanding his really noble efforts, the jury brought in an adverse verdict.

Central City Daily Register-Call 2-15-1879 Wonders never cease. Eliza Halpin has been adjudged a lunatic by the honorable county court of Arapahoe. Eliza has conceived the idea that her true name is Wisdom, and that her character justifies the name. She claims that she knows everything an inspired daughter of the earth. She will be sent to an asylum for treatment.

Colorado Weekly Chieftan 10-23-1879 The new insane asylum at Pueblo is to be ready for reception of patients on the 20th., next Monday,. Arapahoe county,says the Times, will immediately transfer its seven patients from Oak Lawn Retreat, and two E. T. Mauff and Dennis Haggarty- from the county jail to the new institution. Several men will be sent to Jacksonville to guard the patients while on their way here. They will probabably leave for their unwelcome task on Saturday morning, and if they succeed in transfering their charges without incident or accident, we shall be mistaken. Not to speak of the well known lunatic Robert Burke,who refuses to eat or drink from the hands of another, and Cosmo Cannales, the vindictive foreigner, a new obstacle will be presented in the unwieldy person of Lizzie Halpin, the woman who was sent east last fall, and who was before her departure so well known herebouts. Lizzie has become so large and fat that she cannot move without assistance. Superintendent McFarland has awakened to find a white elephant on his hands, and is sorely perplexed therby. In a letter to Mr. Crocker, just received, he says: She (Halpin) is enormously corpulent, and is at the same time entirely paralyzed in her lower extremities. She is a mere mountain of flesh, and so helpless as to be unable to get from the floor to the low bedstead except by a dead lift by several persons. I am getting concerned for her fate in the event of a fire, as all of my patients are above the first story. In such event everything would be in ashes before all my available force would get her to the ground. McFarland was considering the advisability of building a separate house for this woman's sole occupation. If so much trouble is experienced in taking care of her while at the asylum, and surrounded by trained guards and all the special conveniences of that institution, what will be the experience of the man to whom her body is intrusted for removal to Pueblo? We pause to tremble. It is suggested that the county officers might purchase a tent upon her arrival, and meet a portion of the expenses by a judiciously managed side-show exhibition. Arapahoe county has seven patients to go to the insane asylum at Pueblo from Oak Lawn Retreat in Jacksonville, Illinois. The commissioners have just issued an order to Mr. James Duggan to transport these patients from Oak Lawn to the institution at Pueblo. The names of the insane ones are Robert Burke, Eliza Hopkins, Mary Greer, Cosmo Gonsales, David Kline, and Moses Millsap. These are almost all incurables, Mr. Duggan will leave for Illinois on Satuday with a guard.
Halpin, Lizzie
Colorado Weekly Chieftain 11-6-1879 Colorado's Bedlam The Insane Asylum in Working Order The regular quarterly meeting of the commissioners of the State Insane Asylum took place on Thursday and Friday. The improvements have all been finished and with the exception of the new store room, the buildings are all occupied. There are at present in the asylum sixteen males and six females. Arapahoe furnishes seven males and three females; Clear Creek one male; El Paso two males; Fremont two females; Gilpin two males; La Plata one male; Park one male; Pueblo one female; unknown two. The following patients will be received as soon as some additional beds can be provided: From Pueblo, three males and two females; Boulder, two males; Jefferson, three males. When these are received there will be thirty-two inmates, which are as many as the institution can receive. As in all lunatic asylums there are many queer cases here. Happy Jack, a negro formerly in the employ of Geo. W. Morgan, of this city, and who was sent to the asylum from the state penitentiary where he was confined for stealing, is a bad case. With his hands clasped before him and his eyes cast upwards he walks the floor of his room all day long and often a part of the night singing to an old camp meeting tune the words: I ain't got no money. I ain't got no water. He never seems to tire, but hour after hour and day after day keeps up his monotonous tramp and song. He is extremely filthy in his habits and requires careful attention. Among the patients is a German, a strong healthy looking man, who thinks he is in partnership with Emperor William, and offers, if allowed to go to Germany, to endow the asylum with $100,000, which he will bring back with him. He is harmless and usually does light work around the building. A man from Park county utterly refuses to speak. He is neat and clean in his dress, smiles pleasantly when spoken to but will make no reply. He has formerly been a sailor, though but little is known of his history. Another imagines himself the first Napoleon, is quite a military man and delights to go through the drill for the benefit of any visitors who may come in. The most dangerous patient is an Irishman, who has been made insane by liquor and a naturally devilish disposition. It is necessary to keep a close guard upon him at all times. He is a terror. Brown, the engineer, who was declared insane in Denver several years since, is about cured and will no doubt be soon discharged from the institution. In the female department there is an Irish woman who is exceedingly wild and dangerous at times. Her ravings are blood curdling and her face resembles the pictures of the Furies. She is in very bad health and cannot live long. Lizzie Halpin, the large woman, is much improved mentally but still suffers from paralysis of the lower limbs, so that she cannot rise from her bed without assistance. She says she suffers no pain, and is quiet and resigned. Another singular female patient is one who spends most of the time in talking to herself. She is generally quiet, but at times goes into a room by herself and indulges for a while in a most tremendous outburst of profanity. When she calms down she returns to the society of the other harmless patients. Everything in and about the building is arranged in good shape, and in no case has money been needlessly expended. Dr. Thombs, the superintendent, gave his personal supervision to every detail and the institution, though small in capacity, is modeled after some of the best in the eastern states. The attendants seem to understand their duties thoroughly, and the patients are comfortable, clean and contented, as far as persons in their pitiable condition can be. On account of the smallness of the appropriation made by the last legislature, many necessary arrangements have been omitted about the place, but the board of commissioners hope that the next legislature will be more liberal, and that more extended accommodations will be provided for our insane poor.

Central City Weekly Register-Call 8-11-1899 Adjudged Insane Mrs. Annetta Hamilton, a widow, living at Mountain City, was on Wednesday last adjudged insane by a jury in the county court, and was taken to Pueblo by Sheriff Mitchell on the afternoon train. She has been a sufferer from spinal trouble and when under the influence of one of those attacks she is liable to kill some one, and, as a protection to the public, as well as herself, the jury concluded it best to send her to the asylum, where she would be able to secure treatment and care that were impossible under the present circumstances. Deputy District Attorney Matthews appeared for the people and J. W. Woten was appointed by the court to attend to her side of the case.

Rocky Mountain News 8-23-1884 A Rampant Hammer Thomas Jefferson Becomes Insane and is Lodged in Jail Thomas J. Hammer is hopelessly insane and in jail. For some time past he has been going around the city making all manner of threats against certain persons, and by his actions confirming the impression that has existed that he was a veritable crank. Yesterday Mr. Sam N. Wood, cashier of the First National bank, made a complaint in the county court that Mr. Hammer was a lunatic, and a warrant was issued for his arrest and placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Murray. Hammer was found in the Western Union telegraph office writing telegrams, a favorite occupation of his. Mr. Hammer made a desperate resistance when arrested, and had to be overpowered before he could be taken to jail. He was so violent that he had to be placed in a dungeon. The unfortunate man was formerly connected with the Tribune as an advertising solicitor, and later with the Great West in the same capacity. Not long since he went East and married, came back West and settled in Cheyenne. He did not remain there long but came back to Denver, where he called at the First National bank and presented a check which Mr. Wood refused to honor, as Hammer had no money to his credit. This enraged Hammer, who threatened to shoot Mr. Wood, which was the prime cause of the warrant being sworn out for his arrest, though the man has annoyed Mr. Wood since then. Hammer is impressed with the idea that he owns the Union Pacific road; that he has great influence with President Arthur, and, in short, that the affairs of the world depend upon him. He ordered Postmaster Morris to withdraw the United States funds out of the First National bank, and no attention being paid to his demand he wrote President Arthur demanding the dismissal of Mr. Morris. He called on Mr. Ady at the Union depot yesterday morning, and told him to consider himself discharged, as he was incompetent to fill his position and was very unacceptable to the people. He wrote a telegram to Mr. St. John, of the Rock Island road, at Chicago, requesting the dismissal of Mr. W. D. Mann, of Denver, for refusing him a pass. Yesterday morning he called at The News office after the forms had gone to press and commanded the foreman to bring them back. When asked what was wanted he replied that the names of Blaine and Logan must be put up instead of those of Cleveland and Hendricks. When he became aware that no attention was being paid to him he threatened the foreman and the whole force with instant dismissal unless his orders were complied with. He said the boys need not worry over that, however, as he intended to revive the Tribune and would give them all jobs. He finally took his departure without having his orders carried out. For the past week Hammer has visited newspaper offices claiming to be the correspondent of leading New York papers. He has written numerous specials, which the telegraph officials have refused to accept. The other night he wrote a telegram to the manager of the New York Herald as follows: The managers of the Western Union Telegraph company here refuses to send my specials unless prepaid. Open out on Jay Gould and monopoly. I am with you. When arrested he had a number of telegrams in his possession. One to James Gordon Bennett informed that gentleman that he would break every National bank in the United States if they rendered Jay Gould any assistance. Another was to Manager Dickey, of the Western Union Telegraph company at Omaha, demanding the discharge of Assistant Manager B. R. Bates, of Denver. He presented a check at the German National bank yesterday, drawn on Jay Gould for $25,000,000. When refused payment he tried to compromise for half the sum, but did not secure that, either. He then rushed off to the telegraph office and wrote the message to James Gordon Bennett found in his pocket. Hammer is a man of some literary pretension and is the author of a reply to Ingersoll, which is published in pamphlet form. He has always been considered a harmless crank, but after his marriage he has grown worse. His incarceration was the best thing that could have been done with him, and it is certain that unless he is miraculously cured while in jail he will be sent to the insane asylum at Pueblo. Mrs. Hammer is still in Cheyenne. She is spoken of as an estimable woman by all who know her. A telegram informing her of her husband's condition was sent her last evening.

Aspen Weekly Times (Aspen, Pitkin County) May 9 1896 A Queer Delusion - Adam Handshaw Goes Suddenly Insane - Every Chair in His House An Electric Battery-He Hears Queer Noises and Sees Strange Visions-Surrenders Himself to Be Tried for Lunacy - From Wednesday's Daily - Adam Hanshaw a miner, walked into the office of Hon. H.C. Rogers yesterday in company with his son Harry and requested that he be tried for lunacy. After the situation was explained a complaint was made out and sworn to by the son, Harry Hanshaw. Arthur Maltby, esq., was appointed guardian ad litem and the hearing was heard before a jury during the afternoon. It seems that some months ago Mr. Hanshaw, then in perfect health, went to Cripple Creek. He returned about six weeks ago and shortly after his return home he began to hear queer noises and was affected with vari-colored halucinations. Every chair in the house was the positive end of ten horse power electric battery and he was repeatedly shocked. Then some unknown persons lined the house with electric wires. They also dug sub-cellars and built secret rooms in the house. They sounded queer noises in his ears and he was frequently frightened by unseen persons getting after him fro the purpose of keeping him out of mischief. Dr. S.P. Green testified to the physical condition of the patient and attributed the trouble to probably rheumatism of the brain. The son Harry Handshaw and J.C. Brown a lodger told the court of the symptoms and conduct of Mr. Handshaw and then the patient himself was placed on the stand. He quietly described his condition, stated that he yet believed he had heard the noises and felt the electric shocks. He attributed his condition to the use of some medicine prepared according to a prescription sent by some relative from the East as an infalliable remedy for a cold, which he was suffering from. The Jury after a long and careful deliberation fount the patient insane and ordered his confinement in the state asylum at Pueblo until such time as he could be discharged as cured. Sheriff Strawbridge left on the night train with Handshaw to deliver him to the asylum at Pueblo. It is believed that with the care and treatment he will receive he will be cured within a short time.

The strange part of the proceedings was that Hanshaw, cognizant of his condition, caused himself to be arrested, in order that he could be sent to some place where he could be cared for.

Dead Patients Handed Over to Contract Undertakers The death of Fred Hardy, a farmer, was another matter over which the committee and attorneys became heated. Hardy died at the asylum on October 31, last. Weinhousen, who had become exasperated by a sharp examination from three or four sources, nervously waved his hands, pushed up his spectacles and grew red in the face, and in reply to the question of the attorney general stated that three undertakers in the city of Pueblo were each given contracts of eight months each and dead patients were turned over to them for burial. He produced a death certificate from the city of Pueblo indorsed by the undertaker on the back. After the undertakers took the bodies the asylum had no further records of them. I cannot tell what becomes of the bodies, he exclaimed. I am only human, I am no grave digger.

On the vote of the committee it was decided to admit the city records, Dr. (C. O.) Rice (health officer of the city of Pueblo) testifying that one Fred Hardy had been given a burial permit by his office. W. H. Sweeney, an undertaker, was called to the stand. He had prepared Hardy for burial. His testimony was to the effect that paupers were buried free. Friends paid for some, but no benefit, whatever, was derived from the state
John M. Yohn, the sexton at the Mountain View cemetery, was brought before the committee when Chairman Stewart rapped the members to order at 8 o'clock. The witness produced a burial permit from the city for the interment of Fred Hardy and also a personal book of record. He stated that a wooden head board is placed over the grave.

Wilcox, lives on the St. Vrain and says Sylvester was sunstruck some years ago and has never been quite right since. He will take anything he likes no matter who may be the owner, when in his moody state of mind.

Harlan, Sylvina
Record Journal of Douglas County 2-10-1911 Insanity Charge On Wednesday, proceedings were instituted in the County court to judge as to the sanity of Mrs. Sylvina Harlan. It was charged in the complaint that she was unsound of mind and likely to do harm to herself or others. About thirty witnesses have been subpoenaed. The trial was continued until today and will probably last for some time. The case is being bitterly fought. Attorney C. S. Heimann is prosecuting the case while attorney Rothberger of Denver is counsel for the defense. Later After Mrs. Anna Jones, witness for the prosecution had testified, counsel for the defense gave notice that he would subpoena the judge to testify. Under the law, if the judge is made a witness, he is disqualified to act further as presiding judge. Counsel for the defense then asked that the case be dismissed and a new judge and jury be brought in. A recess was taken to enable the attorneys to look into the law. Mr. Heimann, who was appointed by the court to represent the state, being satisfied in the premises, asked leave of the court to dismiss the proceedings which motion to dismiss was granted.

Wray Rattler 7-3-1913 Homesteader Is Declared Insane Farmer Just Across the Line in Kit Carson County Crazed by Trouble With Trespassing Stock David Harris, a homesteader living about twenty miles north and a little west of Burlington, was, by a complaint of Ed Andrews, brought before County Judge Haynes on a charge of insanity last Wednesday. The trial lasted for seven hours and was full of interest from start to finish. Hon. Louis Vrgt appeared for the prosecution and Sidney P. Godsman for the defendant as guardian ad litem. The jury returned a verdict of insane and the judge sentenced Mr. Harris to be confined in the mad house at Pueblo. Mr. Harris is a poverty stricken homesteader who, with his wife, was holding down a claim near the river but was financially unable to fence his crops and was having an endless amount of trouble to keep stock from destroying his crops which caused some of the trouble at least, in which he was embroiled with some of his neighbors. After being sentenced the judge displayed his pythian spirit by allowing the convicted insane man to go to his home that he might see his wife before going to the mad house and arrange his affairs for an indefinite stay among crazy folks. Convicted by a jury of insanity, yet permitted to arrange his business like sane people and really talked like a same man, yet on Friday was returned by a deputized officer Charles Sherwin, to this city and Friday night Sheriff Davis conducted his prisoner to Pueblo where, if not already stricken with a deranged mind, his associates will likely cause him to loose his reasoning power. The county commissioners have sent material out to his claim to try to preserve the crops planted by the insane person. Burlington Republican.
Harris, Edwin
Colorado Transcript 11-16-1898 There may be a good deal of truth in the charges against the management of the insane asylum at Pueblo, but we think the lack of funds is in part due to carelessness and a lack of energy in collecting funds due the institution. We know of one case in point. In 1891 Mr. Edwin Harris, of Golden, was declared insane and sent to the asylum at Pueblo. He was a man of considerable property, and Mr. J. R. Ward who was appointed conservator of his estate had money on hand at all times to pay the fees required for his maintenance, but he informs us that he never was called upon to pay any thing, and when Harris escaped a year or two after and returned to Golden he was declared sane by the court and Mr. Ward turned over the money and property to him again. He was sent to the asylum as an insane person, not an insane pauper, and the authorities could have had the stipulated sum for his care at any time, but no bill was ever sent to the conservator.

Dr. Eskridge appeared as witness in all the cases heard, and the respondents were held incapable of managing their own affairs on the unsupported testimony of the expert. Mr. J. O'Malone, who came from Greeley last spring, imagined that he was president of Oxford and Harvard colleges. M. Paulson insisted that he was born in Jerusalem. Florentine Pellocond imagined that Sand creek was turned into a huge beer tank, and that he was the sole retailer of the amber liquid. Blanch Harrison, while coming here from Chicago March 22, tried to jump from an express train, and has since exhibited suicidal tendencies. All these were adjudged lunatics, and will be sent to the asylum at Pueblo.

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

Aspen Weekly Times 5-1-1886 A Terrible Experience Mr. Frank Hooper Set Upon by an Infuriated Maniac and Narrowly Escapes With His Life Mr. Frank Hooper left Aspen a few days ago having in charge the insane man Hart, who he was to place in the Pueblo asylum. Mr. Hooper returned to the city Thursday night, after having passed through an experience that nearly cost him his life. He arrived in Pueblo with his charge at 1 o'clock Tuesday night. No trouble had been experienced during the entire trip and Mr. Hooper felt perfectly secure allowing the maniac to do just about as he pleased. They took a hack at the depot to go out to the asylum and it was during this ride that the prisoner made his desperate attack upon his keeper. They had proceeded some distance when Mr. Hooper noticed his charge working at the window of the hack as if to open it. Stop that and sit down, he said to him. The maniac turned furiously and sprang upon him, crying out that he would do as he pleased. The fellow grabbed for Mr. Hooper's pistol and had it nearly out of the scabbard before his intention was discovered. Murder was stamped upon his features, and in the clutch of the powerful man, Mr. Hooper was almost powerless. Making a movement, however, he managed to grasp hold of the gun right over the hammer, and with the other hand he seized the man. The mad man's fingers were under the guard, pressing against the trigger and, as it was a double action weapon, a tragedy must have ensued if Mr. Hooper's grasp on the trigger had been loosened. The maniac struggled desperately to effect his purpose. He finally grasped Mr. Hooper's wrist and wrenched it until the skin peeled off. During all this time the hack was rolling on and Mr. Hooper was attempting to attract the drivers attention. The raving man crushed him down into a corner of the seat and smothered his cries, and it seemed for a time as if he would have to give up from sheer exhaustion. Finally he got his face free and called out, driver, for God's sake stop and help take this pistol away from this man! The driver immediately stopped, jumped off the box and opened the door. Mr. Hooper managed to get on his feet and throw himself out of the vehicle dragging the maniac out after him. Hart still held to the pistol and the driver could not release his grip. Another hack drove up and several gentlemen jumped out to assist. With their combined efforts it took several minutes to release Mr. Hooper and the pistol from the insane man's grasp. He then started to run, but was quickly overhauled and shackled. They asked him why he made such a break, and he said it was for revenge, charging Mr. Hooper with having tried to kill him in a hotel the night before. Mr. Hooper's hands were all skinned up during the terrible tussle, but no other damage was done him, and he was glad indeed to escape with his life. The fellow made another effort to escape after being shackled, but nothing further of a dangerous nature occurred, and the man was soon placed in the care of the institution to which he had been sent by the finding of the jury.
Hart, John
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.
Hart, John
Rocky Mountain Sun 4-24-1886 Another Reason Dethroned Death in all its horrors is not so pitiable a sight as the wreck of human reason. An inquisition was had last Monday of one John Hart, who was charged with being insane. The first eccentricities noticed in him was by Father Edward Downey, priest of the Catholic church. Several times during last week Mr. Hart insisted upon sweeping out the church, which he would do at the most inopportune moments and when there was not the least need of it, and against the protest of the Father. He also objected to the palms which the priest had provided for Sunday mass it being Palm Sunday claiming that they were not palms; and showed some which he had himself procured, and insisted that his palms should be blessed and distributed to the good Catholics. Last Sabbath, during the 10 o'clock mass at the church, Mr. Hart was noticed to move wildly, almost running up, and down the aisles, carrying in his hand a tin lard bucket, in which was the strangest mixture of water, vinegar, sage brush, salt, pickles, meat, crumbs of bread a nauseous looking mess which he would occasionally eat with a spoon. Before service, it was noticed that he had moved the seats of the church away from the walls. He then made the stations of the cross, stopping in front of the fourteen stations and telling his rosary, much to the disturbance of the worshippers. He then took a seat in the front row, and after service he arose and approached the railing as though he would enter the altar and asked in a loud voice: Father Downey, why do you make me do this severe penance of the stations? What have I done to you? The Father answered him that he had not made him do it; he had done it of his own accord, and that he had not done right in making the stations. The congregation became frightened, the women especially, and many of them rushed for the door. Mr. Hart then shouted to lock the door and let none go out until Father Downey had explained to the people why he had made him do penance. Then six strong men went up and grasped Hart and attempted to take him home. He struggled violently, but they finally got him to the cabin just across the street. He then got a box and set it in front of his door, and began to harangue the people, when Marshal Ganson, who had been sent for, came and took him to the jail. While in the cell, he refused to eat what was set before him, but insisted on having his tin bucket. All night long he kept sweeping out his cell, over and over again, and picking up little specks of dirt and throwing it out. When summoned to the court, he insisted on wearing a red quilt taken from his bed, and in this motley garb he sat during the examination. He has a wife and nine children living at Strathroy, Canada. He is a blacksmith and wood worker by trade, and a good mechanic. During the trial he frequently referred to himself as Poor Old Hart, and promised the witnesses and the court that he would be in heaven to appear before that tribunal against them for persecuting him here. His talk was vaporish and disconnected. Before he would say a word he insisted upon washing his hands, and would not ask the witnesses a question until the request was granted. When he came back after having washed, he insisted upon having some salt and vinegar. This was given him, and he squared himself for the great fight, as he called it. He attempted to explain his actions, and said that the Virgin Mary had commanded him to prepare the mixture in the bucket. The jury found him dangerously insane, and Judge Rucker gave an order to the sheriff to have him conveyed to the State insane asylum at Pueblo. Poor Old Hart is evidently one of the worst cases that has gone from this county. He is one of the religious monomaniacs, because upon all other subjects there seems to be no chimeras in his mind. He is the third one consigned to the asylum from this county in the last six months; Robert Morrison, another religious monomaniac, was the first. Word comes from the asylum that he is about cured and his release may be shortly expected. Geo. A. Beers has been released as cured, and is now editing a paper in southern Colorado. Mr. Hart was offered a good contract on the railroad, by Orman, Crook & Co., whom he has known for some years, and expected to go down the valley last Monday.

Rocky Mountain Sun 5-1-1886 Mr. Frank Hooper, whom Sheriff Hooper deputized to convey John Hart, the insane man, to the Pueblo asylum, had a terrific battle with the maniac. It occurred in the hack which conveyed the deputy and maniac from the railroad to the asylum. Had it not been for the timely arrival of help, the powerful Poor John Hart must have been a murderer, as he is a large and muscular man. Mr. Hooper showed great coolness and daring, and only by holding fast the trigger of the self-acting revolver, did he prevent himself being shot.

Denver Evening Post 12-12-1898 An Insanity Commission It Is to Investigate the Condition of Four Convicts Governor Adams this morning appointed a commission in lunacy to inquire into the sanity of Levi Hurtley, Ellen Deardoff, James Bolton and F. J. Sedlock, all penitentiary convicts. The commission is composed of Drs. F. N. Carrier, T. H. Craven and J. W. Rambo, the first two of Canon City and the latter of Florence. Hartley is violently insane and is dangerous, the prison officials say. Before he entered the penitentiary he was an inmate of the state insane asylum at Pueblo. He was sent to the penitentiary for attempting to kill J. Keiser of Delta, whom he had followed here from Missouri to murder, he said. Mrs. Deardoff is a Boulder woman who was formerly in the insane asylum. Dr. Thombs discharged her as cured. She was sentenced to the penitentiary for burglary. Bolton is from Denver. He is serving fourteen years for robbery.

The girl was found to be a mental defective, there having been no development of her mind since she was five years old, when she had a serious illness. The matter was referred to the County Lunacy commission, consisting of Drs. F. E. Willett and H. C. Dodge, and the commitment was upon the commission's recommendation. As the mother is a widow and without means, the expenses of the case and of the maintenance of the unfortunate will be borne by the county.

Mr. Haskell was in deep sorrow at having his once happy home thus broken up. The jury having adjudged the patient insane she was sent to the county hospital, there being no chance to get her admitted to either the state insane asylum or Dr. Work's institution at Pueblo. She is very uneasy at the hospital and desires more than anything to get away. It is hoped that she will be better contented as soon as she can be given interesting employment.

Hayden's peculiar monomania is a religious one, and takes the form of believing that he has certain designated points on the sidewalks where he must kneel and pray. His unusual actions cause large crowds to gather. It is believed that he has recently arrived from Kansas, and he will be kept until his friends are communicated with.

He is the son of a prominent attorney of Pandra, Guthrie county, Iowa, and has been in Denver for some time past. Yesterday he became suddenly impressed with the idea that he must pray almost incessantly, being told to do so by the Spirit. He was passing up Sixteenth street, and would stop every few feet to pray. His actions attracted the attention of some of his friends and they made application and obtained for him apartments at the county hospital. His father was notified by telegram of the young man's sad condition, and he is expected to arrive in a few days to take charge of his son. County Commissioner Bates had made arrangements for shipping him East last evening, when his friends requested that he be kept here until his father could be telegraphed.

Mr. Hayes, who for several years has spent the winters in Oak Creek, owning a house and lot on Carbon avenue, has a homestead near the head of Wolf creek, between Hayden and Deep creek. He has long been rather irrational in his excess of religious enthusiasm, and recently is said to have become convinced that the world was about to come to an end. This preyed upon his mind until it was decided best to place him where he could be given proper medical treatment, in hopes that he may recover his mental balance. Hayes is a United States army veteran, having served for several years in the Philippines. He also spent some time in Japan.

Steamboat 5-21-1913 Wolf Creek Ranchman Goes Violently Insane William Hayes, a homesteader near the head of Wolf creek, came to Steamboat Sunday violently insane. Neighbors have noticed for some time that he was not just right and Sunday a neighbor whose ranch he passed on the way to Steamboat notified the sheriff's office to be on the lookout for him. Deputy Sheriff John Frye was on hand when Hayes arrived. The latter drove up in front of the post-office and abandoned his team and started toward the residence part of town. Frye took the team and was hitching them when Hayes returned. He talked ramblingly about having a mission to reform the world and said he came in to go to church. He stopped at the Methodist church, where services were being performed and opening the door shouted that the world was coming to an end. Then he went to the Catholic church and sat through the services. When church was out Father Meyers accompanied Hayes back to the sheriff's office, it being apparent that he required attention. In the corridor of the jail he became violent and it took the combined efforts of Sheriff Chivington and John Frye more than half an hour to get him into a cell. Before Judge Morning Monday Hayes was declared insane and ordered to be taken to the asylum at Pueblo. Hayes is an ex-soldier, having served in the Philippines. He has been in Routt county about four years and worked last winter at Oak Creek. He has no family here, his father living in Kansas and a brother in Oklahoma.

Steamboat Pilot 5-21-1913 Crowded Insane Asylum Sheriff Chivington says the state insane asylum is so crowded that the authorities refuse to take any more patients. William Hayes, who was taken there last week, was refused admittance and had to be taken to a private institution. This graft of the asylum authorities refusing admission to patients so that private sanitariums will benefit has been worked in the past and it might be well for the state authorities to look into the present management to be sure the same scheme is not being worked. People pay taxes to the state to take care of the insane and private parties should not make it a commercial proposition.

Wray Rattler 4-17-1922 Insane Man Picked Up Monday Noon By Local Officers A demented man, apparently 40 or 45 years old, was taken into custody by the officers Monday noon and later in the day was taken to the asylum for the insane at Pueblo. The unfortunate fellow first attracted attention by standing on the street and making an unearthly noise. When approached by Officer Mitchell he immediately divulged the fact that he was mentally deranged. Officers, assisted by a number of huskies, found it an exceedingly difficult task to place him in safe keeping. The Rattler understands that he answers to the name of Hebert. Sheriff Hitchcock and Deputy Clarence Holt took him to Pueblo Monday evening. The Rattler understands that Hebert had been in a hospital at Great Falls, Mont., for treatment some months ago. For several weeks past he had been working in the harvest fields near Wray. Due to the fact that the members of the regular lunacy commission were out of town Monday afternoon, it was necessary to have a special commission to investigate and pass upon his mental condition. If the Rattler mistakes not, the unfortunate man has a brother living near Alvin.

Rocky Mountain News 7-19-1884 Fixing the Fruit Trade Heffner, the Alleged Lunatic, Indulges in Some New Antics Why is He at Large? That much talked about man, Anton S. Heffner, was in trouble again yesterday, and the police are confirmed in their opinion that the man is crazy, although County Physician Cox says he is not. Heffner has, within the last two months, gone through a great variety of antics, if the reports against him may be believed, stealing and carrying off scales, hugging women on the street whom he had never seen before, and who gave no encouragement to his strange propensity, telling people that he lately traveled 800 miles, threatening his wife's life and violating her feelings by having improper doings with cigar store females in her very presence. If all these reported antics are true, and the whole cause of them may be laid to drunkenness, the drunk must have been a very long and pretty continuous one. Yesterday Heffner seems to have been possessed of a new freak, being seized with a wild desire to wipe out the Denver fruit trade. Heffner is said to have gone up to a woman who keeps a fruit stand near the corner of Nineteenth and Larimer street, and taken some fruit, and when she asked him for pay struck her in the face, knocking her over the stand. Officer Dailey saw the scuffle, and came up and arrested Heffner, who is said to have concluded his antics with the woman by pulling out a revolver and threatening to shoot her. Officer Dailey took Heffner to jail, and is firmly impressed with the belief that the man is as crazy as the proverbial loon. It seems a little strange that the authorities can do nothing to put this man where he will be less of a danger to peaceable citizens. It would probably be cheaper than having him acquitted of murder on the ground of insanity.

Rocky Mountain News 7-1-1884 Heffner's Hugs Indiscriminate Embraces, Larcenies and Long Walks Performed by a Crazy Man Yesterday A man named Anton S. Heffner, who has been making merchants and others a great deal of trouble of late, was arrested yesterday by Officer Brady on a complaint made at police headquarters. The precise complaint made against him was assault, but the main object was to get him safely under lock and key, as he is a dangerous man to leave at large. Heffner has shown no homicidal tendencies, but has made himself decidedly disagreeable to his wife, his friends and the community at large by a great many little eccentries (eccentricities), such as stealing articles from stores which he had no especial use for and secreting them in strange places. Another mania that he was possessed of seems to have been an inordinate affection for the fair sex, and he appears to have frightened many ladies whom he met on the street, and to whom he was a perfect stranger, by going up to them and hugging them in a most enthusiastic manner. As one man cannot embrace the world or even all that part of human kind which wears petticoats, there was considerable objections raised to his little peculiarities. Heffner has been keeping a saloon at 566 Holladay street and gave no evidence of unsoundness of mind until about two weeks ago when he began stealing scales from hardware stores and other performances of a similar weighty nature. A few days ago he dropped in the store of a man he knew and sinking into a chair said he was nearly dead, adding that he walked 800 miles in eight days. It is needless to say that this extraordinary pedestrianism was never performed except in Heffner's mind. Being unable to put up with his insane follies any longer his wife yesterday complained to the police. He was first taken to the county jail on an order from the County court, being conveyed there by Deputy Sheriff Harry Minnick. On the way to jail he appeared exceedingly happy and enjoyed himself in singing at the top of his voice. Heffner will remain till September when Judge Harrington, of the County court, will return and can pass on his insanity.

Rocky Mountain News 7-2-1884 Heffner's Halt He Creates a Sensation and is Lodged in the County Jail Anton S. Heffner, the man who was taken to the county hospital Monday evening on complaint of his wife who believed him to be insane, was released shortly afterward, the attendant physician having no authority to hold him, further than a verbal statement. After Heffner was released he returned to his home at 506 Holladay, where he committed several offenses. Yesterday morning his wife went before Justice Sopris and had issued a complaint, charging him with grand larceny, relating that Heffner had stolen a pair of scales, valued at $50. Officer Duggan took the case and when he was bound over to the Criminal court took him to the County jail. Here Heffner was seized with a wild desire to escape, and leaping from the buggy ran a half block in remarkably short time for a 200-pounder. He was finally secured and placed in the county jail until he is tried for either grand larceny or insanity. The workings of this case caused a clashing between the county and city officials, though nothing of a serious character resulted. The police entertain the belief that Dr. Cox had no right whatever to interfere with the case before the county board and Judge Harrington had examined into the matter. The end is not yet, and before it is over Heffner may rise suddenly from the shades in which he has always lived to one of the most talked about men in the city.
Heffner, Anton S.
Rocky Mountain News 7-9-1884 Loosing a Lunatic Anton S. Heffner, the insane saloon keeper who has created so much trouble to his friends by his many eccentricities, was tried on two charges before Judge Sopris yesterday. On the charge of threats against his wife, Anna Heffner, he was discharged on the ground that he was not of sound mind. On the charge of larceny in stealing scales he was also found not guilty and was accordingly set at liberty. Justice Sopris says that it is not within his power to send men to jail for lunacy. Heffner has already been in the County jail seven days, and if his eccentricities in hugging strange women, stealing scales, running races with the wind and the like have simply resulted from a protracted drunk he has had abundant time to sober up in. If he is really crazy Judge Harrington will have to try his case in September.
Heffner, Anton S.
Rocky Mountain News 7-9-1884 A Saloon Keeper's Sanity Anton S. Heffner, the alleged insane man who was tried for various offenses before Justice Sopris yesterday and discharged, was in trouble again last night. Officer Schalk found a large revolver in Heffner's pocket and arrested him on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. He was put in the City jail. The police are beginning to look with suspicion on the case. Unless the case has been grossly misrepresented Heffner has some remarkable eccentricites for a sane man, and the police have been witnesses of some rather queer antics on his part, but County Physician Cox says the man is perfectly sane and he must have some good reason for this assertion. If there is an effort on the part of Heffner's relatives to get his money by getting him into jail or the asylum it should be investigated, but if the account of Heffner's strange antics is true there would seem to be little doubt of his insanity. As it is Heffner seems destined to be in hot water for the rest of the summer.
Heffner, Anton S.
Rocky Mountain News 2-24-1885 An Insane Saloonist A. S. Heffner, a former Holladay street saloon keeper, was yesterday placed in the county jail by Officer John Connor, for safe keeping. Heffner's mind has been unsound for some time, and he has been incarcerated several times. The county commissioners are to take steps looking to his being placed in the insane asylum.

Rocky Mountain News 3-1-1885 Certainly Crazy Anton S. Heffner, the strange lunatic who once kept a saloon on Lawrence street, near the Markham house, but who has for nearly a year kept the town provided with new sensations and has performed more strange antics than Don Quixote was ever credited with, was yesterday adjudged insane by a jury in the County court and ordered committed to the state insane asylum at Pueblo.

Rocky Mountain News 3-2-1885 Liberating Lunatics Strange Actions in Letting People Loose Attributed to Dr. Thombs Another Alleged Lunatic Joins Mussetter in Open Air Exercise Two More Dangerous Insane Men Taken to Pueblo Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Wheeler went to Pueblo yesterday, having in charge Anton Heffner, the crazed saloon keeper, and Harry B. Rollins, accused of forgery, but who has been declared insane by the County court and remanded to the insane asylum, to which he was committed in 1877, but has since been released. The court has this time warned Superintendent Thombs, of the asylum, that there is a criminal prosecution hanging over Rollins. Rollins seems to be clearly insane, and it is believed that his lunacy has been caused by the violent epileptic fits to which he is subject. In one of his recent fits at the Arapahoe county jail he is said to have bitten a piece of his own tongue out. Superintendent Thombs seems to have acted very queerly in the release of some of the lunatics under his care. The case of Mussetter is one instance, the case of Rollins appears to have been another, and a third case is said to be that of Robert Morris, the lunatic who has been afflicted with such violent passions toward young girls, and who is said to occasionally make a very shameful public display of himself. Morris was committed to the asylum some months ago, but Dr. Thombs has recently released him, claiming, it is said, that he considered him sane and that there was no reason for keeping him in the asylum. Since his release Morris is said to have made an indecent exposure of his person on Broadway and is believed to be an unsafe and unpleasant individual to remain at large in the community. Heffner, Rollins and Morris do not either of them appear to be proper men to release, for Heffner's strange antics have kept the town talking for a long time and Rollins appears to be possessed of method enough to commit forgery. The sheriff's office and the county propose to look after these cases pretty carefully. Morris will probably be recaptured and returned to the asylum.

He has since shown unmistakable signs of a deranged mind, however, and the authorities decided to again place him under restraint. The afflicted man has been residing with his wife and two children at 64 Corbet street. He labors under the hallucination that he is the possessor of great wealth with which he proposes building railroads, etc. He was at one time a bookkeeper and well to do.

Hellyer, John
Eagle Valley Enterprise 3-5-1909 Declared Insane Last Friday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, a man was seen walking up the track following a freight train. That was nothing unusual, as other men have done the same thing. Early Saturday morning the same stranger was seen standing in the street in front of Mr. J. S. Strow's house. He stood there for some time immovable as a statue. Mr. Strows concluded to investigate the man's queer actions, and in company with A. E. Roberts approached him and asked him where he hailed from and where he was bound for, but the man couldn't give a satisfactory answer; his mind was a blank. Mr. Strows then asked him if he was affiliated with an order. He brightened up instantly, and answered them that he was a member of Coal Creek lodge No. 32, I. O. O. F., and had his dues paid up to 1910. He was asked if he had a pin or something to identify him as an Odd Fellow. He extended his hand and answered, I have. The grip was exchanged, and Messrs. Strows and Roberts being Odd Fellows, the man was taken in charge, and papers found on him revealed his name as John Hellyer. He was taken to the section house and Mr. Strows faithfully guarded his brother until the arrival of Sheriff Farnum on No. 3 Sunday morning. During the night Hellyer grew violent and threatening, but as soon as Mr. Strows reminded him of the obligations he took as an Odd Fellow, he subsided. The man's mind was blank to everything else, but the obligations of his order was still fresh in his memory. His case was tried last Monday by County Judge Tague, and he was adjudged insane. Sheriff Farnum took him to Dr. Work's private sanitarium at Pueblo on Tuesday.

Rocky Mountain News 7-14-1888 Disordered Minds Two Strange Cases of Lunacy to be Tried To-Day Two strange cases of lunacy are now before the County court. Richard Prior is the victim of the wildest delusions. He was some time ago attacked by inflammatory rheumatism. The disease at one time threatened to attack him, but he went to Glenwood Springs and took a series of baths, which seemed to avert this danger. But the disease seems to have gone to his brain. A few days ago he became so bad that his friends were compelled to seek the aid of the authorities. He claims that he is the victim of medical malpractice. He says the doctor put iodine in his medicine. His case will be disposed of this morning. Victor Hen some weeks ago indulged extensively in the vagary of hiring outfits from one livery stable and returning them to another. He was finally arrested for this and criminal prosecution commenced. But his strange actions excited a question as to his sanity and his mental condition is to be investigated. He is detained meantime in the county jail.

Denver Evening Post 9-22-1899 A Brother With Little Sympathy Glenwood Springs, Sept. 22 Patrick W. Hennessey, from Providence, R. I., who was taken to the insane asylum from here last week, is dead. A letter from a friend, who was seeking to alleviate the measures taken for the man's welfare, has written that Peter Hennessey, his brother, who is reputed to be worth $15,000 to $20,000 and is a resident of Providence, refuses to give a cent to care for the person of the dead man. The disposition of Hennessey's remains will probably be left to the insane asylum officials. There appears to be no doubt that Hennessey was a fine workman as a gold and silver chaser. His tools, now in the hands of the sheriff, are of the finest quality. Members of his club in Providence took the matter up and only refused to further contribute when his brother stated that he would not give anything for the care of a man who was on the quick road to death. Eastern philosophy and the ties of blood relationship seem very odd to those who have tried to make easy the last moments of the stranger.

Rocky Mountain News 2-5-1888 O! It Was Pitiful Thrilling Scenes in the County Court in a Trial for Insanity A Mother and Two Children Caressed and Petted by a Maniac A Never to be Forgotten Scene Dim and Moist Eyes O! It was pitiful. One moment a wild and raving maniac and the next talking with all the tenderness of a woman's love. Tears came to the eyes of the spectators, for the scene was one of terrible sadness, mingled with tenderest pathos, and those who saw it will never forget it. Charles Heneicke was on trial for lunacy. Led into the county court room heavily manacled, by two strong deputies, he was seated near the door and a strong guard placed on either side. He mumbled incoherently in his native German, and in his wilder ravings swore at the guards at the same time straining with a maniac's strength to release his hands from the handcuffs that so firmly bound them. His desperation manifested by wild ravings, cursings, attracted a large crowd in the hallway, and the court room was soon filled. Pleading With the Guards Quieting down a little he began to plead to have his hands released which were handcuffed behind his back. His request was granted. The poor fellow had a blanket closely wrapped around him, for he was wearing neither a coat nor vest. He was cold and shivering and would hug the old blanket up closely around him and then try to throw it off. Two men were kept busy holding the blanket around him. But he would not have it thus, and the coarse covering was thrown into a vacant chair near by, and he sat there mumbling and biting at his shirt sleeves. He wanted his pantaloons put in his boot-tops, and the deputies did that to please him. A little woman enters. Seeing the great crowd she hesitates. Taking courage she advances. A hood is tied close about her head, and you can hardly see the face. She walks with a trembling footstep, and with a quaver in her voice says Come on children. One is a little boy of five, the other a beautiful girl of three, with great, big, soft, dreamy eyes. She is leading them each by the hand, and the children hold back timidly, for the great crowd bewilders them and they are wondering what it all means. Look at the Picture The little gateway leading into the bar of the court is reached. The woman looks up. Tears come into her eyes. And the face, oh! It is the picture of all that is sad. The two little tots follow her into the bar of the court and for a moment the mother and helpless, timid children make a thrilling picture. She looks towards the opposite door, and, seated in a chair near it, she sees a familiar form. She forgets that two little children are clinging to her dress. The tears come afresh, and with a bound she rushes across the room and leaps into his arms. Oh! Charley. These were the only words uttered, for her words were smothered as he pulled her up close to his bosom and called her wife. Eyes Moist and Dim The eyes of all who saw it grew moist and dim. Some attempted to look idly out of the great windows, and others looked up vacantly at the ceiling. The little children, left alone, look about timidly and in a half terrified manner seem to be trying to solve in their childish thoughts what it all could mean. But they instantly follow their mother. Children always do that, you know, and coming up near to where father and mother were talking and crying, they again took hold of the folds of their mother's dress, seeming to think there was safety and protection in that. They knew something terrible had happened. Timid faces and bewildering eyes told that. The father looks down a moment and sees the little girl. He releases the wife from his embrace, and picks up the child. There is a happy innocent smile on her beautiful face. She says papa, and he clasps her fondly in his arms, and exclaims tenderly and lovingly, My baby. Wonder not that the little girl was not afraid, held tightly in the arms of her maniac father. Like a Sane Man For the moment Charles Heneicke seemed like a sane man. There was a look of love in his eye, and a deep tenderness in his voice as he caressed his baby girl. Do you wonder that here and there spectators were wiping the tears from their eyes? He gave a long, lingering look into the beautiful eyes of his baby girl. He fondled her most lovingly, played with her childish locks and again pressing her up close to his boson, once more called her his baby. Who is that? asked the mother, who was sitting by his side holding the boy in her lap. That is papa, he replied, and he took the boy in his arms. But the wild look was again coming into the eye, and the embrace of the boy was more than that of love, for with it was coming the strength of a maniac. With one arm he held the boy, with a terrible grasp, and with the other seized the little girl. The children began to cry. Take those children from that man, said Judge Miller. The sorrowing mother and two children were taken from the court room until the father and husband had quieted. A jury was sworn, a trial had and a verdict returned that Charles Henricke was insane. Intemperance had wrecked a human soul.

Henwood, Harold
Fort Collins Weekly Courier 10-9-1914 Henwood Will Not Get New Trial, So Says Supreme Court by United Press Denver, Oct. 5 The state supreme court today denied the motion of John T. Bottom for a new trial for Harold sentenced to be hanged the last week in October. Mr. Bottom then asked that a lunacy commission be appointed but to this Chief Justice Musser stated it was not in the power of the court to institute such an inquiry. Bottom then announced that he would start such action through the regular channels asking for an inquest into Henwood's sanity.
Henwood, Harold F.
Akron Weekly Pioneer Press 10-9-1914 Henwood Must Hang Supreme Court Refuses To Grant Rehearing October 25th Set As the Date of Execution at the State Penitentiary Western Newspaper Union News Service Denver. Unless the State Board of Pardons should commute the sentence to life imprisonment, Harold F. Henwood, who killed Sylvester L. Von Phul and George E. Copeland in the barroom of the Brown Palace hotel May 24, 1911, will be hanged at the state penitentiary in the week beginning the 25th of this month. The State Supreme Court this morning refused to grant a rehearing of the case, in which the judgment of death was affirmed early in the summer. John T. Bottom, Henwood's attorney, announced that he could not discover any possible way of appealing to the Supreme Court of the United States. He declared belief that Henwood is now insane and asked the Supreme Court to appoint a lunacy commission. The court announced that it had no power to do so, and Mr. Bottom then said he would not press the matter, but would make formal appeal for commutation of the sentence. Later he expressed firm belief that the sentence would be commuted, particularly because Judge Charles C. Butler, when he formally pronounced the death sentence fixed by the jury, recommended that the penalty be changed to life imprisonment. Denial of the motion for a rehearing on Henwood's appeal was announced as soon as the Supreme Court convened this morning. The court was unanimous.

Telluride Daily Journal 1-23-1914 Insane Bug Tries To Force Way To Governor's Office Wants (To) Be Killed Denver, Jan. 23. A man by the name of Charles B. Herman, aged 40 years, was arrested here this morning following an attempt made by him to force an entrance to the governor's office. Herman went to the statehouse this morning and attempted to force an entrance to the governor's office. The governor was absent at the time and Herman contented himself with threatening the chief executive. Policemen were called and took the man to the police station, where he struggled to get free. After arriving at police headquarters he asked Chief of Police O'Neil to kill him. He is believed to be insane and also harmless.

Colorado Springs Gazette 6-18-1922 Springs Man Slays Inmate of Asylum; Chucked Shoe at Him, Reason for Deed Harry Weisberg, Committed from County Court in 1911, Beats Hernandez to Death with Iron Bar in Kitchen Harry Weisberg, committed to the state insane asylum from the El Paso county court in 1911, yesterday beat another inmate, Coleto Hernandez, to death with an iron bar. Neither man was considered violently insane, tho Weisberg caused officers considerable trouble when he was held in the county jail here. The men were employed in the hospital kitchen. When Hernandez entered yesterday morning he was attacked by Weisberg, armed with an iron bar. Hernandez's skull was fractured and he died in a few minutes. His assailant gave as his reason that Hernandez had thrown a shoe at him in the dormitory the preceding night. Weisberg was adjudged insane in the county court here by doctors, September 18, 1911, when Judge John E. Little was on the bench. Three days later he was taken to the Pueblo asylum, where he has since been in custody, being considered incurably insane. When committed, Weisberg was 29 years of age and a carpenter by profession. He had come here a year and eight months before from Pittsburg. His birthplace was Balskowitz, Russia.

Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph 1-17-1974 Mental Patients Back in Custody Trinidad Two mental patients, one from Colorado Springs, who escaped from the Colorado State Hospital in Pueblo were taken into custody Wednesday. Robert Kaiser of Colorado Springs was captured in Pueblo early Wednesday while Paul Hernandez, 24, was captured in Trinidad after holding a hostage at gunpoint before two policemen in plainclothes confronted him without any resistance. He didn't give any resistance, said Ralph Turano, director of public safety. He didn't have much of an opportunity to resist. The two officers pointed their service revolvers at him and told him to surrender. Hernandez was captured about 12 hours after he broke out of the Colorado State Hospital at Pueblo after taking guard Tom Roldan hostage. Hernandez freed Roldan and abducted two other men he forced to drive him to Trinidad. Turano said Hernandez was spotted in Trinidad after buying a bus ticket to Raton, N.M. He said the hotel where the man was recaptured was about three blocks from the bus station. He said Hernandez was picked up shortly after forcing his way into the apartment of Guilermo Garcia and ordering the man to drive him to New Mexico. He apparently just went to the man's apartment at random, pointed a gun at him and said he wanted a ride out of Trinidad, Turano said. A spokesman for the state hospital said Hernandez, of Denver, was a convicted bank robber who was transferred to the Pueblo institution for observation.

Herndorf, Frederick
Rocky Mountain News 8-12-1886 A Man Magician A Peculiar Crazy Man Makes a Sensation at Jewell Park He Claims to be An Astrologer, Alchemist and Lecturer of Occultism Evidences of Former High Standing and a Fine Education Deputy Sheriff Benson last Sunday arrested a man at Jewell park who gave every evidence of insanity. When first noticed by the deputy the man, whose name turns out to be Frederick Herndorf, was flourishing a coupling pin and making threatening motions with it. He was flourishing it about among the crowd, and would occasionally rub it on a board or on the ground so as to call forth sparks of fire. The man's other actions indicated that he was a violent lunatic, with especial mania on the subjects of astrology, alchemy, divination, magic and other kindred occult sciences. While flourishing the coupling pin he would look into the heavens and declare that he could read every planet there. Adjutant General Taylor and Deputy Sheriff Benson both watched the man and tried to keep him under control, but the officer did not arrest him at that time. The man had a root, a bottle and a mushroom, and was performing some strange antics with the apparatus. Herndorf said he had intended to go out lecturing and intended to hire the opera house for this purpose. Up to the present time, however, he had only realized about 10 cents from his lecture enterprise. This was loaned him by a kind-hearted gentleman named Jones. Had Been In Jail Before Later in the afternoon the deputy sheriff discovered that Herndorf was flourishing a knife and Mr. Benson told the man that he thought he had better come with him. To this Herndorf offered no objection but went. They got on a circle railroad train and the officer invited Herndorf to get off at Colfax avenue, saying he wanted to go over and see Jailer Hopkins a moment. To this Herndorf offered no objection, saying he knew Hopkins, Cain and other men at the jail and had stopped there once. On going over to the jail and leaving the man outside, the deputy discovered that Herndorf had been there before and that they had considered him a dangerous lunatic. Herndorf was put in jail again and is there now awaiting the action of the county commissioners. Dr. McLaughlin has examined him and considers him insane, and the man's talk and actions are said to be sufficient to convince the most skeptical of this fact. Herndorf also appears to be a dabbler in alchemy, and to cherish the belief that he can extract gold from stones and vegetables. It would be fair to presume that his coupling iron was to him a divining rod, and that he intended to work some magic with the root, bottle and mushroom. He offered no objection to being put in jail, and said he had not slept for forty-eight hours before. A Dangerous Man He seems to cherish some curious ideas about sleep, affirming that he had made a rule never to sleep more than two minutes out of forty-eight hours in the future, thinking that was all the sleep he needed. The man is considered a very dangerous lunatic from his peculiarly strong vagaries and his physical strength, which is said to be enormous. Had not the knife and coupling iron been taken away from him it is quite possible that he would have killed or injured some one. He is a man about 40 years of age, and is said to be finely educated, speaking a number of different languages. He was formerly clerk in a bank in Cincinnati. He is now quite secure in jail and cannot be tried for lunacy before Monday, the county court meeting at that time.

Rocky Mountain News 7-9-1885 Said to be Crazy The police have been worried for several days by a man named A. Herzer, who has been making complaints that his wife had deserted him. Investigation showed that his wife was stopping at the Taney house, and it is claimed that instead of his wife voluntarily deserting him he turned her out of the house and drove her out of the neighborhood. Herzer seems to act in a very strange manner, and his friends say he is insane. He has, therefore, been arrested by Officer Bell and his case will be looked into.

She was to take care of him during his life, but they could not agree and the county will now have to care for him.

A number of cases were to have come before the judge for trial or hearing
Another lunacy case was that of Henry Hester. He is unsound in mind according to H. Balfe, who wishes him to be taken care of that Balfe may collect a debt of $300 he alleges is due him from Hester. In the complaint he set forth, among other things, that Hester is the owner of a patrimony netting him $140 a year. It comes from a society in England Hester once belonged to. He also avers that conjointly with his wife, Hester owns real estate in Colorado valued at least at $3,000.

Mrs. Campbell received a house and lot belonging to Hester on the condition that she attended to his wants, which it is charged she has not done.

Denver Evening Post 2-25-1897 Different Lawyers Have Tried the Hester Case Again in Court Old and insane Henry Hester continues irrepressible as regards litigation and for the eighth time he succeeded to-day in bringing up in the district court his suit on complaint against Eliza Campbell, Attorney Williams appearing before Judge Allen to ask that Eliza be summoned before the judge to answer why she, as alleged, is not living up to her contract with Hester as made. The attorney, acting for the administrator of the estate, pleaded that his client was now 81 years old, had been adjudged insane in the county court a month ago and was at present in the county hospital at the county's expense, a victim of shaking palsy and so sick that it would be a blessing for him to die and so be relieved of his terrible affliction. He explained that Eliza Campbell was refusing to support Hester, though largely bound to do so by contract, she having agreed to do so out of the receipts of certain South Thirteenth street real estate which Hester deeded over to her for this purpose. Judge Allen gave the order requiring Eliza Campbell to appear before him in five days. Thereupon ex-Judge Miller got up to oppose the motion as amicus curiae. He explained that the proceedings were useless as seven times it had already been tried and in each against Hester, he having been shown to be the violator of the contract. I think a conservator of the estate has been appointed simply to bring these expense suits. Twenty-two different lawyers have figured in them and the estate was once $30,000; it now amounts to practically nothing as a consequence. But Judge Allen had not yet been honored with the suit, and evidently wishing to see what was in the charges determined to abide by his order.
Hester, Henry
Denver Evening Post 9-27-1899 Insane Man's Plea About $1,000 has been added to the estate of Henry Hester, who is insane, and he has applied to the county court that he be restored officially to his reason. His petition will be heard, but in the meantime his conservator, P. H. Balfe, has been compelled to file $2,000 additional bonds.

Fort Collins Weekly Courier 11-24-1910 Thinks He's Lucky Because He Didn't Cast His BallotInsane Man Has Sense Enough to Feel Good Because He Can't Be Blamed for Democratic Victory.Takes His Trial Very Nonchalantly(From Thursday's Daily) Nonchalantly cocking his feet up on the table, Clint Hill was an apparently disinterested spectator at the proceedings in the county court this morning, when he was adjudged insane and sentenced to the state asylum at Pueblo. He picked up a copy of the statutes and pretended to read law, but his abstraction was not so great that he did not take advantage of every opportunity to correct witnesses when he though they were in error in matters of the smallest detail. Witnesses testified that a number of years ago he had been well to do, being connected with several ditch companies as a contractor and also as a ditch rider. At that time he made his home near Loveland. He had been absent from that locality for a number of years and returned about two weeks ago looking for a place to stay. He has not been rational any part of the two weeks and has required close watching to prevent him from doing damage to property. One night last week he built a large fire near the Grimes farm at 2 o'clock in the morning. When asked if he wished to say anything to the jury, he said, Oh, let them do the talking, I talk too much anyway. If you have a bible here I'll read a chapter and sing a verse. He next sang a verse of Paddle Your Own Canoe. He wanted to get into the witness chair later in the trial and when he did so he turned toward the judge and tilted his chair back, placing bother feet in front of the judge on the desk. He was asked if he had voted at the last election. No, he replied, and I'm might glad of it, because they can't blame onto me what happened. He seemed to enjoy talking and told about all his neighbors. After the trial he said he didn't mind going to Pueblo, as that was as good as any other place. He is 60 years of age and came to Colorado in 1880 from Wisconsin. He has a sister living in the country, but there are no other immediate known relatives.

Creede Candle 7-19-1913 Dead Man Sued For Divorce The spectacle of a dead man being sued for divorce is being enacted in the district court in Denver. Moreover, the defendant in the action is being represented in the most approved legal fashion by an attorney, who is there to see that no base advantage is taken of his client's inability to appear in his own behalf. Canute Hillstone is the man's name. He is not actually dead, as a matter of fact; but in the eyes of the law he is numbered among the deceased, since he is in a far worse statethat of hopeless insanity. He is an inmate of the state insane asylum here. Hillstone was committed to the institution in the latter part of 1908, a victim of epilepsy. Previous to his mental attack he had been a miner. For a time it was thought that a careful course of treatment might bring about at least a partial cure; but in the five years that have elapsed it has been demonstrated that he is beyond all cure, and that his death is merely a matter of time. He is now 41 years old. How a man who has been declared dead by the law can retain an attorney and put up a very life like imitation of a fight in court is a puzzle for the lawyers to work out, however.

Hillstone, Insane, Sued for Divorce Knute Hillstone, inmate of the state insane asylum at Pueblo, is defendant in an action filed for divorce in the district court.

Dillon Blue Valley Times 10-3-1913 Knute Hilstone, Jr., a Bone of Contention Question as to the custody of Knute Hilstone, Jr., a minor, has raised a conflict as to the jurisdiction of the district and juvenile courts. Judge Lindsey has awarded the custody of the boy to C. P. Scanlon, a clothier. Whether the order of the juvenile court is in itself sufficient to keep the child in the custody of Scanlon, or whether he will have to offer further evidence to show that he is a more proper person to have the custody of the child than the person later appointed by Judge Denison will be determined when the case comes up before the district judge Monday. Mrs. Othilia Hilstone obtained a divorce a year ago on the grounds that her husband was insane. She gave the 11-year old boy to Mrs. Rathbone, who turned him over to St. Vincent's orphanage. The boy was given to Scanlon on the recommendation of the mother superior of the home. Mrs. Rathbone later claimed custody of the boy, and Judge Denison awarded her custody.

Rocky Mountain New 2-1-1888 Too Many Cigarettes Louisville, Jan. 31 The deadly cigarette has again got in its work. A young man named James Hirsch was adjudged a lunatic in the criminal court this morning. He is but 28 years of age and has always been an excellent young man. His lunacy is peculiar in its nature and is attributed by his physicians to smoking cigarettes. He was a slave to the habit of smoking the vile little things, and like all its victims inhaled the fumes. It is said that he consumed on an average from forty to fifty a day. About a year ago it began to tell on his mind; he grew erratic and finally desperate, threatening his own life and that of all about him. He had to be confined and was so violent that it was deemed unsafe to have him at large.

Steamboat Pilot 6-12-1918 Moffat Rancher Demented O. M. Hoback Has Attack of Violent Insanity and Is Committed (Craig Empire) Worry over the possibility that his wife might not survive a surgical operation is thought to have caused Oliver M. Hoback, a resident of the Morapos section since boyhood, to go violently insane the latter part of last week. As near as can be learned, Hoback left his Morapos ranch Friday morning and in the afternoon stopped at the Iles ranch, where his unusual actions were noted. He left on foot, later being picked up by Dr. French of Meeker, who took him to Meeker in his auto. Hoback explained to the doctor that he was on his way to Fruita, where his wife was to undergo a serious surgical operation the following day, and he was worrying for fear he would arrive too late. In Meeker the man would walk a short distance from town, then return. The town authorities telephoned to Craig, stating particulars and asking instructions, and took Hoback in on request of the Moffat county officials. As his two captors were taking him to jail the sight of an American flag and a Red Cross banner made him so violent that help had to be called in order to place him in confinement. Sheriff Mosier and Constable Held brought the unfortunate man to Craig Monday and he was given a hearing before the lunacy commission. While in the cell here he literally tore all his clothing to shreds, as well as the bedding, and there was not the slightest doubt that the only place the case can be handled is at the insane asylum, and commitment papers accordingly were issued. [There are other articles about this man where his last name is spelled Hobeck.]

Steamboat Pilot 11-15-1899 Mentally Unbalanced E. A. Farnham and Fred Taylor came up from Craig last week having in charge an insane man, Ollie Hobeck, who has been employed with cattlemen in the lower country for several years. Hobeck was taken before Judge Voice at Hahns Peak and adjudged insane and Sheriff Neiman started with him for the asylum yesterday. Hobeck has been demented for about two weeks and it is all over a girl, a very estimable young lady who formerly resided in Steamboat. He imagines he is a great lecturer and wanted to give a talk to the people wherever he could hire a hall. His trouble soon took a more violent turn and he attempted to hold up John Ledford for $50. Later he went to Meeker and was placed under restraint when he struck the sheriff and forcible means were necessary to keep him from doing harm. Later when he was being returned to Routt county he got hold of a gun and made things unpleasant for a time with the sheriffs. While here he was apparently all right. He attended the dance Monday night and had a good a time as anybody, dancing and part of the time playing a guitar in the orchestra. It is thought that a short time in the asylum will suffice to effect a cure.

Denver Evening Post 12-8-1898 Stories of Brutal Treatment Sworn to by Witnesses Extracts From the Testimony Before the Insane Asylum Investigating Committee Mrs. Sadie Fisher, the supervisoress of the asylum, was the first witness examined at the insane asylum investigation made by the state board of charities and correction. She testified that the patients got very little attention from the doctor
Mrs. Fisher was asked: How many deaths have occurred since you have been at the asylum? A I should think five. Q Were the attendants present when the patients were dying or were they simply discovered after they were dead? A I know of several cases where there was no one present. I am not aware any one was present any time. She said that to two of the patients Dr. Thombs had given medicine a couple of times. The other three he had not been attending. She said Dr. Thombs never saw a corpse after death. Some of the patients died in their rooms during the night. Mrs. Fisher said that no record was kept of the past history of the patients to her knowledge
Dr. Thombs was placed on the stand. He said he had been superintendent of the asylum for twenty years. He said that the restraint was never severe, occasionally he admitted straightjackets were used. They were permitted to remain on a patient until she got over her excitement. Dr. Thombs was asked: If the supervisors should testify that it was not uncommon for attendants to be away from their wards an hour or two at a time, would you contradict it? A I could not contradict it, but I should not credit it. He said that the matrons in attendance were supposed to make verbal reports to him. Question Suppose one or two or three attendants in the building here should testify under oath that a year ago last Christmas Mr. Burrows brought in a two-quart bottle of whisky with a label attached to it, Merry Xmas; Help Yourself; Drink All You Want, and that the attendants helped themselves, some freely, some not at all, and at least one of them because violently intoxicated and the druggist was driven out of his room and told Mrs. Thombs the circumstances. Have you any knowledge to contradict that? A No, sir. I never heard of it and doubt it. Dr. Thombs said he had no private practice in Pueblo, but occasionally called in to see families he had known a long time. He once found an attendant drunk and reproved him. He claimed that he visited the wards often and always looked out for the sick. He said he spent at least two hours every morning at the asylum. He admitted that no printed or written record was ever kept of the general condition of the various patients. He depended entirely on verbal reports. He swore absolutely that a week had never passed without going to every ward in the institution. He admitted that he did not O.K. all requisitions for supplies. He said there was no record of the distribution of supplies. He said that relatives were always notified of the death of patients. Question Invariably? Answer Invariably. Q Do you recall the death of a man named George Hodgson? Do you recall ever notifying his wife after his death? A I did not have her address. He did not live but a little while after he came

Aspen Weekly Times 10-24-1896 Must Be Goldbugs Denver Is Being Overrun With Insane People Denver, Oct. 21. Both last evening and this morning the police were kept busy with several extraordinary insanity cases in this city. Last evening Charles Conlon shot Miss Emma Plunkett and her brother William Plunkett at a boarding house on Lawrence street. There was no reason for the shooting except that the man suddenly went insane. He escaped and has not since been captured. Both of the wounded people will recover. This morning Mrs. Maud Virginia Richmond, 24 years of age, an expert circus bareback rider and trapeze performer, arrived in Denver, looking for her 11-year-old daughter. Shortly afterwards the lady while at the depot was seized with a form of epileptic insanity. The police were called but Mrs. Richmond led them a wild chase for a mile before she was captured. She imagines herself a circus horse. Mrs. Richmond was born in Denver and two years ago lost her husband while both were attached to a circus. Since that time she has had fits of insanity. Later in the morning Edward Hoften of San Francisco was arrested in North Denver a raving maniac and it took six officers to get him to the police headquarters. Hoften was on his way from San Francisco to New York and stopped off in Denver. His mania is that he is being pursued by a railroad engine full of wild men. He appears to be a man in comfortable circumstances and his friends in San Francisco have been wired.

While Under Sheriff Dunn was passing the corner of Sixth and Poplar streets he noticed Mrs. Holey followed by a crowd of children and acting strangely. She could give no account of herself or where she lived. Mrs. Holey has been twice married, having been divorced from her first husband, who has been given the custody of the two children. She afterwards married William Holey, who left this city during the recent strike and is now in Montana. When taken to jail Mrs. Holey became unmanageable, tearing off her clothing and acting violently. She is under the impression that she is to become a religious recluse. Her mother says the insane woman had heard or imagined that an accident had befallen her husband at Coeur d'Alene and also that one of her children by her first husband was sick, and these reports may have aggravated the condition of her mind.

Holland, formerly an inmate of the state insane asylum at Pueblo and released after he was supposed to be cured, was arrested today in the May store after a sharp struggle and desperate resistance on his part. He has been living in this city for some time and was formerly a miner in the Ibex mine. He entered the store this morning and asserted that he must have $200 which was due him. He was asked to return at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. When he came in at that time two stalwart policemen arrested him. After they had overpowered him they took a large revolver from his person, where he had concealed it.

Denver Evening Post 10-29-1899 A Victim of Circumstantial Evidence? On March 17 next, if not sooner released, James Brennan will have completed a sentence of twenty-five years in the Colorado penitentiary. This, however, is only an actual imprisonment of fourteen years, he having been convicted in 1886, and as he has earned all the time allowed for good conduct, eleven years are deducted from the original sentence
Brennan and M. L. Hollenbeck were convicted of the murder of an unknown man near Salida in 1885. The victim was on his way from there to Leadville, and was found dead beside the Rio Grande tracks with his pockets rifled and his money gone. Brennan and Hollenbeck were in the vicinity and were arrested. The evidence at the trial being purely of a circumstantial nature, they were convicted of murder in the second degree. Both prisoners have steadfastly maintained their innocence, and during the whole time they have been incarcerated. Hollenbeck brooded so over the prospect of remaining in prison all his life that he became melancholy, and was adjudged insane and sent to Pueblo. The board of pardons is having great difficulty in investigating the case of Brennan, as it appears that all the parties interested in the arrest and trial, even to the judge and jury, have either died or removed from the state. Nobody has appeared to resist Brennan's application for pardon and it seems quite likely that he will be given a pardon as a reward for his good behavior as a prisoner.

Aspen Weekly Times 1-13-1906 Jury Finds Holmes Insane Unfortunate Man Sent to Private Asylum in Pueblo A jury in Judge Rogers' court yesterday found Harry Holmes to be insane and too dangerous to society to be allowed his liberty. The jury was composed of Charles Ohlman, William Stone, A. M. Parks, Charles Schriver and K. Sherman. Holmes was brought to the court room some time before court convened, closely guarded by Capt. Dwyer and an assistant. From that time until he was taken to the train he kept up an incessant, idiotic babbling, and a truly pitiful sight. James M. Downing appeared for the county and Harold Clark was appointed by the court to take care of the prisoner's interests. Sheriff Grant was called to the stand and told of Holmes' behavior since his incarceration. He said that he had broken a table and a chair to pieces and had torn the clothes from his body, and would not take food unless forced to do so. City Marshal Irving was the second witness and said that Holmes' actions from the time of his arrest about ten days ago had convinced him of his insanity. County Physician Lof was sent for and gave it as his opinion that the prisoner was temporarily insane, due probably from alcoholism. It was brought out in the testimony that the mother of Holmes had been taken to Pueblo about five years ago. She died a few years later. After hearing the jury's verdict Judge Rogers said that a brother-in-law of Holmes in Denver had offered to pay his expenses, and therefore he would order the prisoner taken to Dr. Work's private sanitarium at Pueblo, where he would receive the best of care. Sheriff Grant left with him last night.

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

Source Genealogical Abstracts from the Boulder Daily Camera, 1891 1900, by Mary McRoberts.
Horlocker, Viola
Denver Evening Post 4-16-1899 What Motive? Why Should Ollie Horlocker Wish to Poison Mrs. Morey? Was it Botkin literature that made a fugitive of beautiful and cultured Ollie Horlocker, who is accused of attempting to poison her employer's wife by the same means that Mrs. Botkin of San Francisco employed in killing her lover's wife bonbons saturated in a solution of arsenic? Was it, as Mrs. Botkin's case, passion and sensuous love that led her to the alleged act? Was she jealous of the woman whose life she is said to have attempted? And, for the matter of that, is Ollie Horlocker the culprit, or is she a victim of circumstances? If a victim, why has she run off why can no one find her? Do innocent people escape when the police pursue? Links of evidence mostly circumstantial, it is true are forming a chain of strength which is winding about Ollie Horlocker. Every bit of evidence obtained so far seems to connect her with the crime. Yet her Denver friends say they cannot imagine her in the role of a willful poisoner, and that if such is the case in this instance she must have been insane or been urged to it by reading newspaper articles telling of poisoned candy cases. That is why Mrs. Botkin's trial is recalled it is the most recent, the most sensational, and the one about which the newspapers all over the country have written more than of any other similar case. An intimate friend of Ollie's suggested the influence of Botkin literature, saying Miss Horlocker was high strung and such reading would have an effect on her. The scene of the sensational and mysterious case is the usually quiet and prosaic town of Hastings, in Nebraska, where Miss Horlocker's home has been for some years past. But the story has a local and Colorado interest because she lived and worked in Denver before going to Nebraska. Her father was a prominent miner of Boulder, and her sister, Zora Horlocker, began her musical education here that has ended so brilliantly in New York, where society is feting her. Besides, Bertha Horlocker, the youngest sister, was married in Denver about a year ago to George S. Hayes, and they are now living in Hastings. The Horlockers are well known here and they have many friends. The head of the family died six years ago at Boulder, where the family home was. Mrs. Horlocker was left enough money from her husband's estate to carry her and the children comfortably through life. She had five daughters, and with them removed to Hastings. But Ollie and Zora Horlocker immediately returned to Denver. The first named secured employment in the real estate office of Clarke & Caruthers as stenographer, while the other was similarly engaged with Packard & Piper, an insurance firm. Zora Horlocker was musically inclined and went in music circles. She had a rich contralto voice, which she was having perfected and trained. She and her sister were popular social favorites. She is now winning encomiums in the East on the concert stage. Newspapers are devoting considerable space to her. When Ollie, or Viola, as her real name is, left Denver, she went to live with her mother. Her first position in Hastings was as stenographer in the office of the county judge, and then she engaged with F. C. Morey, a lawyer. It is his wife she is accused of poisoning. The Moreys are a rather young couple. She lived at their house. There is practically nothing that tends to prove that a love affair existed between Morey and Miss Horlocker. Still she may have loved him secretly and been jealous of his wife on that account. She had been in unusually happy spirits the past few weeks, especially since the morning she received a box of flowers from her husband-to-be at Boulder. This very box, emptied of the flowers, later contained the candy that so nearly ended Mrs. Morey's life and poisoned the latter's intimate friend, Mrs. Gasline, who is still critically ill. Ollie Horlocker's own white hands are supposed to have made the candy. She bought arsenic in small quantities several times immediately preceding the crime. That has been proved. It takes but two and one-half grains of arsenic to kill a person of the strongest constitution, and she had many grains of the poison. The Hastings authorities also knew where she purchased candied fruit and glucose. A dealer asked her what she wanted this for, and she said to make fine candies. So they undoubtedly were, but a little too highly flavored. Of this conglomeration she made fruit and chocolate candies, saturating some in a solution of arsenic, and in others, especially chocolates, placing particles of arsenic in its original form. Each piece of candy meant death to the taker. Ollie Horlocker herself addressed the package to Mrs. Morey and in her very plainest handwriting. There was no attempt at secrecy on that point. When Mrs. Morey received the present she was in conversation in her house with a woman friend, Mrs. Gasline. Mrs. Morey had seen this box of candy on her husband's stenographer's desk, in her husband's office, and thought it very considerate of the girl to send it to her. She ate of it, as did also Mrs. Gasline. That evening Mrs. Morey became very ill, though at supper the candy was not referred to in connection with the sickness. As the evening advanced Mrs. Morey became worse, and Ollie is said to have become correspondingly more nervous. But it was then far from the Moreys' minds that the candy Ollie sent contained poison. Late that night word was received by Mr. Morey that Mrs. Gasline was also very sick. The note containing the information intimated that Mrs. Gasline thought her sickness was due to eating of the candy. Miss Horlocker had already retired, and she was not told of Mrs. Gasline's opinion. Mr. Morey resolved to have an analysis of the candy made. His wife grew steadily worse during the night, and his alarm increased. Mrs. Morey did not breakfast with him the following morning, but Ollie Horlocker and the other members of the family did. Mr. Morey naturally spoke of his wife's condition, and suggest that undoubtedly the candy must have contained a poison of some kind. At this assertion Ollie Horlocker is said to have fainted. Shortly after breakfast she left the house, supposedly for Mr. Morey's office, but she did not go there, neither did she return to the house again. She took none of her belongings with her. That day a chemist made a report of his analysis of the candy. He found arsenic in large quantities in it. Then Mr. Morey became especially anxious to see Ollie Horlocker, but she was nowhere to be found. A close search of several days has not located her. Even the manner of her escape is a mystery. Miss Horlocker is prominently connected in Hastings and for that reason the authorities were very lenient with her and gave her the benefit of every doubt. But when they found she had gone without their knowledge they allowed a warrant charging attempted murder to be sworn out against her. There are various rumors about where Miss Horlocker is. One rumor says she was spirited away to a sister in Kansas City, another that she is in an insane asylum at Lincoln. It is known that Miss Horlocker was an assiduous reader of the daily papers, and that she was fond of stories of adventure and mystery and crime. The famous Botkin case of San Francisco and Dover, Delaware, is supposed to have attracted her full attention and made an impression on her. Mrs. Botkin, it will be recalled, sent poisoned candy to Mrs. John P. Dunning of Dover, Del., with whose husband she was intimate. This candy also contained arsenic. Mrs. Botkin was found guilty of murder some months ago and sentenced to life imprisonment. Mrs. Ella A. Fairbanks, who lives in the Denison block at Fourteenth and Stout streets, knows the Horlocker family intimately. Miss Zora Horlocker made her home with her for some years while she was studying music. Mrs. Fairbanks is a close friend of Mrs. Horlocker. Mrs. Fairbanks says she has never met Ollie Horlocker, but that from her knowledge of the family she cannot believe the accusation against her to be true; but that if it is, the act must have been committed while Miss Horlocker was temporarily insane. After some reflection Mrs. Fairbanks suggested that reading of poison cases which are so numerous now, may have led her to the act. The Horlocker girls boarded with Mrs. L. Bowles of 1762 Downing avenue when they worked here as stenographers. Mrs. Bowles said she could not imagine Ollie Horlocker as one attempting a human life, she was always so quiet. Mrs. Bowles thinks Miss Horlocker is 27 years old.

Denver Evening Post 8-21-1899 In a Mad House Viola Horlocker, the Alleged Poisoner, Confined in Illinois Asylum Omaha, Neb., Aug. 21 A special to the Bee from Hastings, Neb., says: Word comes to Hastings that Miss Viola Horlocker, who is resting under a $5,000 bond, charged with having attempted to take the life of Mrs. Charles F. Morey by sending her a box of poisoned candy, April 10 last, is now in an insane asylum at Jacksonville, Ill. About two months ago Miss Horlocker went to New York City to visit her sister and recuperate, but it was generally thought at that time that she would not return to Hastings to attend the continuation of her hearing, which was to come up in the equity term of the district court, September 25, after which she was to have been bound over to the jury term of the district court in December. It is the general feeling here that Miss Horlocker will be properly judged insane and this celebrated case will thus be brought to a close.

Carbonate Chronicle 11-26-1917 Insane Man Taken To Jail D. William Hossack, a miner who was recently under medical attention for mental derangement at Pueblo, had to be taken to the county jail yesterday for safe keeping, pending instructions from the superintendent of the state asylum at Pueblo or from relatives. Undersheriff Murray was called to take charge of Hossack in the miner's room in the Union block. Several months ago, Hossack suffered derangement and was taken in charge at a Pueblo hospital. His brother-in-law, a fruit grower in the Palisade district, coming to Pueblo to assist him, experienced considerable trouble in writing to various people here, asking for information about Hossack's residence and employment here, not being able to gain the information from the patient. Hossack is a member of the Cloud City Miners' union which is aiding in attending to his needs now.

Hossack, D. William
Carbonate Chronicle 12-10-1917 Softening of Brain Preliminary examination in the county court Saturday afternoon brot forth opinions from doctors that D. William Hossack, 35, who was taken in charge last week, is suffering from the initial stages of softening of the brain. He is harmless, however, and at times apparently rational. On this account, the court and county lunacy commission may experience difficulty in disposing of the case, for the doctors were not clearly convinced yesterday that the patient should be ordered taken to the state asylum. Hossack, who has been a miner here, suffered mental derangement several months ago at Salida, whence he was taken to Pueblo. His sister, who lives in Iowa, came to Pueblo and took him back to her home where he apparently recovered. Asked why he came back to Colorado, he said he liked the state and wanted to go to work again. He obtained work at Climax for a time, then returned to Leadville. When lawyers asked him why he had not been working here lately, he said a shorgate of cars made it impossible to secure work. Asked if he had been discharged at Climax or had quit work voluntarily, he thot a while and then said he quit voluntarily. Hossack has a brother who, he said, is employed on a railroad section, and two or three sisters. A brother-in-law at Paonia interested himself in his case last summer, but he is unable, it was said to take the patient in charge and look after him. Disposition of the case will be made today, it is expected. Attorney A. B. Crosswhite appeared as guardian ad litem for Hossack Saturday and County Attorney Pendery for the county. The lunacy commission is composed of Drs. R. J. McDonald and J. A. Jeannotte.
Hossack, D. William
Carbonate Chronicle 12-10-1917 Hossack Will Go To Pueblo Victim of Paresis Given Hearing in County Court Mind Steadily Grows Weaker, and Unfortunate Man Forced to Quit Work William Hossack, 35, a single miner who is suffering from paresis, or softening of the brain, will be taken to the state asylum at Pueblo for future care, unless his relatives should unexpectedly volunteer to look after him at their homes. Final hearing concerning the unfortunate miner's case was held in the county court yesterday afternoon, County Attorney Pendery appearing for the county and A. B. Crosswhite as guardian ad litem. Dr. R. J. McDonald and Dr. J. A. Jeanotte, who compose the county lunacy commission, and who appeared at a preliminary examination Saturday in the same court, gave their opinion yesterday that Hossack is unable to care for himself and later made their report, recommending that he be taken to the asylum if responsible relatives do not volunteer to provide for him. Asked if the patient would be a danger to himself or others if not cared for at some institution, Dr. McDonald said he believed Hossack is incapable of taking care of himself and on that account, tho he would be harmless to others, he could be considered a danger to his own person. He believed Hossack has been suffering from paresis for a year or more and that a reported accident he sustained in mine work probably lowered his physical resistance and made his diseased mental state more pronounced. If he has no responsible relatives who will take care of him, Dr. McDonald said he would recommend sending Hossack to the asylum. Both doctors said history of cases of paresis indicated that there is no hope for recovery. Eli Follett, secretary of the Cloud City Miners' union of which Hossack is a member, testified regarding eccentric actions of Hossack during the present year, two of which were his heating an eight-gallon pail of water to shave with and his unpacking his suit case in the union office and scattering wearing apparel all over the room. The witness did not believe Hossack could provide for himself. His jobs had always been short in duration, having been given up voluntarily after a few days work. James Lowney and Gus Larson, who worked with Hossack at the Ohio tunnel, told of his slowness and inefficient work. Larson hired him for the job as cook's assistant and chore man but had to let him go, he said, because he could, or would, not work. Sometimes it required an afternoon for Hossack to saw a block of wood. Hossack worked at St. Elmo before coming here in 1914 and worked there again at the Mary Murphy mine last summer, witnesses said. He was reported to have suffered injuries in an accident there last summer and to have been taken to Salida. Later he was taken to a hospital in Pueblo, tho witnesses did not know what this hospital was. Tho he had known Hossack since 1914, Steve Oberto, former secretary of the miners' union, said he did not observe anything peculiar in his actions until last summer when Hossack's landlady asked the witness if he had observed anything eccentric about the miner. In June, Oberto said, he received a letter from Hossack's brother, saying Hossack was in a Pueblo hospital, his mind a blank, and asking for information about him. Hossack sat thru the hearing without speaking. When the last witness had been examined, he said his trouble was caused by arsenic poisoning received in the St. Elmo mines and his return to Leadville, after visiting his sister in Iowa last summer, had caused him to lose weight and strength. He said he would improve if he were at a lower altitude. Hossack spoke very slowly and with apparent difficulty in putting his thots together.

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

Leadville Herald Democrat 2-23-1886 Dr. J. N. Chipley On January 29th last, an article appeared in this journal giving a resume of the contents of the first number of the Chronicle, published January 29, 1879. Among the items of local interest was the following: Dr. J. N. Chipley, now a prominent practitioner of Kansas City
Mr. George W. Houston, who afterwards became insane. By a typographical error that was not corrected in the proof the words now a prominent practitioner of Kansas City
Mr. George W. Houston, were omitted. This left the statement standing in print Dr. J. N. Chipley, who afterwards became insane. The fact is that Dr. J. N. Chipley, far from being insane never was in better condition physically, mentally and morally in his life, and will soon return to Leadville to practice dentistry or medicine. For some time past he has been attending the Dental and Medical college in Kansas City, and is about to graduate at that institution. With many other former citizens of Leadville who have been in the east for two or three years past, he will return to the great carbonate camp upon the crest of the new boom ushered in with the spring. Mr. Houston did become insane and has since died.

Durango Democrat 12-10-1903 - Panic Caused By a Crazy Man - Pueblo, Dec. 9 - Bert Howard, who was recently released from an asylum in this city, where an operation was performed on his head which, it was believed, would restore his reason, caused a panic tonight in the Triangle rooming house which promised for a time to be as murderous in its result as was the Dr. Rice tragedy. For almost an hour, Howard, armed with a 44-caliber revolver, had complete possession of a boiler room in the block. He drove out the engineer, John Keath, who saved his life only by his speed in reaching the door before Howard was close enough to take aim. He was shot at, however, by Howard as he fled. Howard then secured a key and locked the door and piled coal and kindling wood against it and then shouted that he would blow up the building. Two police officers finally chased the madman from the boiler room, having found him shoveling coal with all his might into the blazing firebox. If he had not been captured just as he was, it is believed the building would have been blown up.

Rocky Mountain News 10-23-1896 Denver Has Gone Daft May Have Been Engendered by the Recent Carnival The little drop catches which clog the wheels in people's heads are getting badly worn of late, and there is, in several cases, or rather heads, a buzzing, whirring sound caused by their slipping a handful of cogs at once. The effect is rather unfortunate, as the afflicted ones are gradually coming to the notice of the police. Additional beds will have to be placed in the insane ward at the county hospital to accommodate the wheely individuals if the present importation of victims continues. No less than ten unfortunates have been lassoed during the week, suffering with dementia in some form or other. Several are of the whooping kind, who go about the streets with their arms fanning the atmosphere like a windmill in a tornado. Others simply mope and refuse to even solve the currency question. The latter are generally the worst to contend with. No Plausible Explanation
Old Sport Knocked Out Dick Hubbard, a well-known sport about town, was found in a hallway a few days ago, lying on the broad of his back and smoking a cigar. His affliction is of a mild form, and it is with difficulty that anything can be gleaned from him

It was testified by Mrs. McCammon that the first evidence of insanity was a reluctance to talk to her on the part of Hubbell, and various other peculiar actions were related both by Mrs. McCammon and Dr. Simon of the hospital staff. The examination, at request of counsel, was postponed until next Monday.

Denver Evening Post 11-11-1896 Most Pathetic Case
The gambling fraternity will miss the familiar figure of Lorenzo D. Hubbell, better known as Old Man Hubbell. Three weeks ago the old fellow was picked up on the streets as mad as a March hare. His detention at the county hospital did not lessen his affliction, and yesterday he was conveyed to the insane asylum. He will probably never emerge from that harbor of the afflicted alive. The old sport is incurably insane. His intellect is so shattered that he cannot even recall his name, and the flight of time escapes unnoticed.

He worked for some months at the Arcade pool rooms.

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
A few steps down the hallway, a locked grated door on the left opened into a light and airy room fitted out with about half a dozen cots. The apartment was quiet as death, only the heavy breathing of the occupants breaking the silence. As the lock clicked and the party entered, two heads were raised displaying a pair of haggard eyes looking askance at the doctor who had disturbed them. Whole Room Full
In one corner of the room with his face buried in a pillow lay a dark handsome man of about 40 years. His eyes lit up as he was accosted, but he soon relapsed into indifference. This was R. H. Hubbell, known among the sporting fraternity as Dick Hubbell. He formerly worked at the Arcade and is well known in all the large gambling joints of the state. His is a mild dementia, or disinclination at times to talk
This ward contains both paranoia and dementia patients, with an occasional imbecile. Both are, as a rule, quiet, and this accounts for their being all in one ward. Occasionally, however, a nurse comes out second best when visiting one of them
Huber, Ernest
16 May 1891 Aspen Weekly Times (Aspen, Pitken County) PRONOUNCED DANGEROUSLY INSANE From Friday's Daily Times The man Ernest Huber, who, a few days ago was arrested for being drunk and placed in the city jail and whose actions were of such a nature as to lead to the belief that he was unbalanced in the mind, was brought to the county court yesterday and question of his sanity was thoroughly investigated by a jury. After an exhaustive examination, the jury decided that he was wholly insane, and not only too dangerous of a character to be allowed to run at large, but that he was liable to do himself harm. Judge England in consequence of this verdict ordered that he be taken to the asylum in Pueblo. The theory has been advanced that when he is placed beyond the reach of ardent spirits it is possible that he will recover. In fact, the majority of his friends are of this opinion. Owing to the absence of Sheriff White, who is now at his ranch down in the valley, Huber has not yet been taken away, but arrangements have been made to start with him tonight. He is at present confined to the county jail, and is carefully watched for fear he will do himself harm.

Back of a suit which his attorneys announce Frank Hughes of this city will file against the Colorado Midland Company for $20,000 damages is a remarkable story of how a Colorado Springs mining man has regained consciousness of his own personal identity after having served eighteen months in the Pueblo insane asylum and subsequently serving a sentence in the penitentiary for a crime committed while the man had no idea who he was, or of his past life. Hughes was injured in a Colorado Midland wreck near Cascade on June 29, 1902, and from the moment he experienced the shock of the concussion he did not have the remotest idea of who he was and where he was or what he was doing until an abscess on the brain broke last Christmas and he found himself in the Colorado state penitentiary. He was kept in ignorance by the physicians for one month of his being a felon and was led to think he was in a Colorado Springs hospital. Hughes has just returned to this city in an effort to find his wife and daughter. He thinks that they have left the country, believing that he willfully deserted them over two years ago. At the time of the railroad accident Hughes owned extensive Cripple Creek mining property worth $30,000, and he has just discovered that while he was incarcerated the properties have been disposed of by unknown parties.

Denver Evening Post 5-6-1898 The suit of P. T. Hughes against the Travelers' Accident Insurance company was yesterday dismissed by District Judge Johnson. Hughes sued for $3,260 on policies, but the company answered that nothing was due him in that he had settled with the insurance company for $600. Hughes admitted the fact, but his answer was that the settlement ought not to stand, in that he was at the time insane and is still so. The court said that it could not entertain the plea because it had no knowledge by evidence or court record that Hughes was insane, although he might well be that; and so Hughes had no case in court. Proceedings have been begun in the county court to have Hughes declared insane.

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 7-22-1891 Morphine Did It - Dr. Hughes Adjudged Insane, Caused by the Excessive Use of Narcotics - Mental aberration, a demented mind, a wretched home, an unhappy wife, an imbecile will, is one of the pictures that might be drawn of one of the houses in Leadville. A very sad duty was presented to Judge Hall's court yesterday in passing upon the mental state of one of Leadville's oldest and most skillful physicians and surgeons. Dr. Hughes is the unfortunate person whose happiness and standing as a physician is thus affected. For several years past it has been known by several of his fellow physicians that he was addicted to the morphine and cocaine habit, but up to the last year it has not affected outwardly his mental equilibrium or his capacity for practicing his chosen profession. But his state has become so alarming in the past few months and weeks that his friends thought it would be best to have him sent where his will power could be restored and where a chance of his recovery might be possible, and where his lost capabilities and abilities might again be regained; for, as he is now situated, no power on earth seems able to keep the dreadful narcotic from his presence. Every device is practiced by him to obtain the fatal drug. His patient wife has pleaded with him in vain, a devoted brother came from Chicago and took him back to his home, thinking a change of climate would restore his nervous energy. He was placed under the best medical care in Chicago, even receiving the attention of the prominent members of the faculty of one of Chicago's medical schools, but with no avail. The more that was done for him, the less volition he seemed to have and so his condition today is but a wreck of his former self, a pitiable shadow of the manliness and power with which nature endowed him. It was on account of his sad plight that a jury called upon him one by one and gathered for themselves yesterday the evidence and facts; which will compel Dr. Hughes to be sent to the insane asylum for treatment and care. Three prominent physicians testified as to his mental state, giving it as their opinion that he was not in a fit condition to preserve his own life, and certainly unfit to preside as a physician over the lives of others. At times he seems to be natural and have lucid intervals, and again he would subside into a demented state, seeming to have no thought whatever of the terrible doom his extensive use of narcotics was leading to. His principal method of using the morphine was hypodermically, and the physician who attended him most testified that his nervous vitality was very low and that while a sudden cessation of the use of the drug would mean sure death, he felt that a gradual stopping would eventually prove effective in restoring him to his right mind. It was the opinion of all the physicians that, under proper treatment, he would recover. It was not considered by them that, at present, he was a menace to any one but himself, but that it was certainly the duty of the state to preserve a mind and life that was so worthy of living when in its proper condition. Major Hawkes, who has been very devoted to Dr. Hughes in this trying ordeal, testified that he and the doctor's wife had pleaded in vain for him to resist; had tried every plan to keep the morphine from him, but that he seemed equal to all their watchfulness, and that at last his loving wife had left him, broken hearted and unable longer to beat the terrible strain of mind and body that such a patient necessitated time and time again, the major pleaded the doctor would say he would brace up, but made it conditional on the major staying with him, and for the last week or so, he has eaten nothing and seemed to be wandering more and sinking in body much faster, so he, as one of his dearest friends, felt compelled to testify that the doctor was not safe to look after himself, nor to practice medicine, and was not financially fixed to hire a nurse for himself, so it was his opinion that the state should look after such a character, and try to restore that vital spark of will power and mental vigor. J. S. Miller testified as in the doctor in regard to his capacity for making out prescriptions and said that he had never observed any lack of ability in that regard, but yet did not consider him a safe person in his present plight to practice medicine. Several other personal friends testified to his general health and actions, and all tend to agree that there was no hope unless immediate action was taken in the case. The whole trial was characterised by calm deliberation, and after a short absence in the jury room, a verdict was returned that Dr. Hughes was of unsound mind, incapable of caring for his property, and recommending that he be placed in confinement in the insane asylum at Pueblo. He will, therefore, be sent there in a few days. Dr. Hughes was a thorough medical student, a very successful practitioner, and skillful surgeon. It is one of these sad cases of wrecked intellect and disgraced manhood, because of a lack of true will power, and those who have known him, certainly hope that his condition is not hopeless, but that he may soon again be clothed in his right mind, ready to mingle in the activities of life, a sadder but wiser man.

An item in a Denver paper mentions the fact that a man name George Layer was arrested and locked up, charged with stealing a purse containing $80 from Mrs. Dr. Hughes, of this city. It will be remembered that Mrs. Hughes left here immediately after her husband had been pronounced insane and since then, has been living with relatives in Denver.

Carbonate Chronicle 7-8-1889 The Details Mr. Hull's Injuries Very Severe And May Result Fatally Chicago, July 2. Passers-by on State street, on the side of the Palmer house at 12:30 o'clock were startled and horrified by the appearance of a man climbing out of the window and making his way along the cornice over Lapham's shoe store, clad in nothing but a shirt. After feeling his way for about two feet the man suddenly gave a yell and dropped down about fifteen feet, alighting on the cornice which supported the shoe store sign. A ladder was put up to the sign and Patrick Sullivan, a postoffice employe, volunteered to capture the man, who was evidently insane. As Sullivan started up the maniac gave a shriek and, springing clear off his standing place on the cornice, fell to the pavement, striking on the back of his head, fracturing the skull and injuring his back very severely. The man proved to be G. W. Hull, a prominent young civil engineer of Leadville, Colorado, who arrived in Chicago Sunday from Washington, where he had been attending the convention of the Patriotic Order Sons of America as delegate from Colorado. The clerk of the hotel and one or two friends in the city noticed that he had been acting queerly for a day or two, but did not anticipate such a result. Dr. Horsey, who attended the injured man, says his injuries are very dangerous, but he may recover.

Carbonate Chronicle 4-7-1919 Sheriff Battles Wild Man in Main Street Undersheriff John M. Murray ran into the hardest rough-and-tumble battle of his terms as undersheriff late yesterday afternoon when he tapped Geo. W. Hull of 411 West Seventh street, said to be mentally unbalanced, on the shoulder and told him to come with him down the street. Hull was standing at Seventh street and Harrison avenue, near the Vendome hotel. Without any parleying, Hull struck out with his fist, catching Murray on the jaw. The undersheriff grappled with him, and immediately the fight was on to a finish. Ira C. Allenthorp, a Grand Junction sheepman who is a deputy sheriff in Delta county and an acquaintance of Murray, rushed up to the undersheriff's assistance, as a crowd began to gather around the struggling men. Hull is heavyset, weighing about 200 pounds, and well built. The utmost efforts of the two men attempting to overpower him were hardly sufficient to gain the mastery, and it was only when both had seized him, thrown him to the sidewalk and then piled on top that the fight was ended. Murray managed to slip handcuffs on Hull. That ended the struggle. Hull was taken to the county jail, where he will be held until the county lunacy commission passes judgment on his mental condition and (an) order is issued regarding his future disposition. The arrest of Hull followed numerous complaints telephoned to the sheriff's office yesterday by people along the street who saw affronts he was said to have made as women passed by, and also by pedestrians who have been frightened by his actions in recent days. Three days ago, a citizen said last night, he saw Hull approach two men, strangers in town, who were coming along Harrison avenue, stop them, pull off his gloves and throw them on the sidewalk, and then challenge the men to fight. The men got away from him without trouble. Hull watched them pass up Fifth street and enter a building. He immediately ran after them, as soon as they were out of sight, and charged into the office they had entered. They had disappeared from sight apparently after going into the building and Hull came out shortly without having further affronted them. Hull has been considered peculiar for a number of years and was adjudged insane but later released after he improved a number of years ago. At one time he was a competent and well-to-do mining engineer in the Leadville district, a dandy for dress and quite a leader in local social circles. He became unbalanced mentally on a visit to Chicago and never recovered, it is believed. In recent years Hull has lived in a bachelor's cabin at 411 West Seventh street and has sold subscription books for a living. He plied this trade along the streets of the town. Recently people have feared to meet him when he might ask them to buy a book, because of the danger of crossing him and starting a squabble. He is about 50 or 55 years old.

Carbonate Chronicle 4-14-1919 George Hull, Insane, On Way to Pueblo Let's sit down and rest, sheriff. We have a long trip before us. Gather up the transits and be sure to issue a search warrant for the music. Spoken to Sheriff Schraeder by George W. Hull, being examined regarding his sanity, this and other irrelevant and disjointed statements were proof enough yesterday afternoon for the county court and the county lunacy commission to show that Hull is insane. While Dr. J. A. Jeannotte and Dr. A. J. McDonald of the commission were filling out their papers recommending future care for Hull at the state hospital at Pueblo, the one-time school teacher and mining engineer laughed heartily as he chatted with the sheriff and said, Today's my birthday, Harry. I'm celebrating it. I'm 64 years old today, and I feel the years. But 64! Ha, join the eye and the nose like this, divide 64 by 13 and you get 27 ½. Hull's testimony when Judge O'Mahoney asked him if he wished to talk was as disjointed as this remark and had little bearing on the case. He referred to Undersheriff John M. Murray as that handsome, dark-haired man. Sheriff Schraeder said later this was enough. It is tradition that when Hull was being examined a number of years ago as to his sanity, doctors declared him insane and Hull arose to say, There are eight or nine different forms of insanity, doctors. I beg leave to inquire which form I may be afflicted with. The two doctors yesterday did not attempt to diagnose the form of Hull's mental disease when asked by the court, but both said they believed his continued going at large was dangerous to himself and the community. Similar belief, or conviction that he has been peculiar and deranged for some time, was expressed by Undersheriff Murray, County Clerk McMahon, W. M. Harvey, F. W. Henson, Al Mongold, City Marshal McEachern, and Charles J. Dice. Dice was called as a witness when Hull asked for him. Hull's questions to Dice showed that he did not fully understand what the court proceedings were. Hull was taken into custody Saturday afternoon by the undersheriff. He had just been shaved in the Vendome hotel barber shop, where Dice and Mongold are barbers, when he entered into an altercation with James McDonald of 508 East Sixth street, a patron of the shop, who had said nothing to him and was not aware of Hull's mental condition. It appeared that Hull thot McDonald had taken samples of books which he was selling on the street and which he had placed on a chair under a newspaper. Hull used profane language and started a quarrel which led McDonald to strike at him. It happened that Undersheriff Murray was in a chair, being shaved. Dice, returning from a telephone, interposed as Hull warded off the blow, and then the undersheriff left his chair and started to take Hull to the county jail. Hull objected as they reached the street and a lively tussle ensued, Ira C. Allenthorp, a Grand Junction sheepman and a deputy sheriff in Delta county, went to Murray's assistance, and the two managed to throw Hull to the sidewalk and place handcuffs on him. After County Attorney Pendery had read the commission's recommendation and the court order to Hull yesterday, Hull protested that he wanted the case postponed till today when he would have two female witnesses. Motion overruled, said Judge O'Mahoney. I object, said Hull, who then sat down. Judge O'Mahoney told Hull the first time he had seen him was in 1879 when Hull was principal of the Central school. To this Hull said he had come to Colorado in the springtime of one thousand nine hundred and seventy nine and had taught the one school in the county in Leadville in that year at a salary of $100 a month. He had an assistant who received $25 a month, he said. Later Hull was a mining engineer, but he did not refer to this fact. He came back to Leadville in 1909, he asserted, after being in an institution for the insane in Nebraska. Frank E. Purpie, attorney ad litem for Hull, asked him if he had been thrown from a horse and inujured at one time. Hull said he had been injured about the face, which bears a small scar, but did not remember clearly how. Asked if he owns property, Hull said he owns the Foundout mining claim in Park county, the house at 411 West Seventh street, where he has lived, a bachelor, and transits, saddles and other things worth, I daresay, about $3,000. He said he would sell these personal effects for half of that amount, say $1,750. He declared the mining claims are leased to James J. Keller. He also said his partner, Patrick O. Sullivan, or his widow, Julia Sullivan, owns a one-sixth interest, but later he declared his brother Dr. S. L. Hull owns a quarter interest and he himself owns the other three-fourths. Dr. S. L. Hull, his brother, he believed to be dead, but later he said he lives at Central City, Neb., and is a graduate of the Rush Medical college.

Carbonate Chronicle 4-14-1919 Hull Will Be Examined Today Members of the county lunacy commission having recommended formal examination, County Judge O'Mahoney has set 2 o'clock this afternoon as the time for examination in court by the commission and lawyers of George W. Hull, a former inmate of an asylum for treatment of the mentally defective, who was taken in custody Saturday by Undersheriff Murray at Seventh street and Harrison avenue after a hard-fought rough and tumble encounter. Hull has acted violently at times in the county jail since being lodged there, possibly, it was believed, from anger at finding himself unable to roam the streets as he has been wont to do. His arrest followed the frightening by him of several women pedestrians and also of some male passersby. He has made a living in late years by selling books and lived at a bachelor cabin at 411 West Seventh street.

Leadville Herald Democrat 7-2-1889 A Demented Leadvillian George W. Hull, the Well-Known Mining Man, Reported to Have Gone Insane at the Palmer House in Chicago Marshal White received the following telegram last evening: Chicago, July 1. To Chief of Police: George W. Hull is at the Palmer House here, evidently insane. George W. Hubbard, Chief of Police. Mr. Hull is one of the most widely-known young men in Leadville. He is, by profession, a civil and mining engineer. He is 34 years old and unmarried. Some time ago he was appointed by the local camps, Patriotic Order Sons of America, to represent them at the national convention of the order which has just adjourned at Washington, D. C. He has been east about two weeks and was just returning. Friends of Mr. Hull in this city have been notified of his supposedly deplorable condition and will take steps in his behalf. The telegram furnishes but meager news and it is possible at any rate sincerely hoped that the case is not a serious one. Learning that Mr. Hull had a friend in Chicago, Mr. George D. Smith, Marshal White has telegraphed Chief Hubbard, referring the case to him. Mr. Hull's parents reside in Oskaloosa, Iowa. They will be notified.

Leadville Herald Democrat 7-9-1889 Hull's Hallucination He is Remanded to an Asylum for the Care of Inebriates - [Chicago Times] Hull is a fine-looking man, about 35 years of age, nearly 6 feet in height, and well proportioned. He is a man of scholarly attainments and is very choice of language in conversation. As a delegate from Colorado he had been attending the convention of the Patriotic Sons of America, held in Washington the last week in June, and was en route to Leadville. He arrived at the hotel Sunday morning and was assigned to room 209 on the second floor. Sunday noon he asked Clerk Hilton to change his room. What's the matter? I've got a nice room, but I need a bright, cheerful one, where I can see the sun. I can change you to the room above. He was finally located in parlor J, whence he made his insane escape yesterday. Sunday night he wanted Mr. Hilton to introduce him to the pet barber of the house. He said he was somewhat of a crank on hair-cutting and wanted the best barber. The clerk could not leave the office at the time and the queer guest would not go into the shop alone. There are about a half dozen mirrors in parlor J. Monday Hull declared that the mirrors were placed in his room to reflect his actions. He exclaimed: I'll turn over all my baggage, valuables and letters for inspection, if you want, but I don't want to be shadowed. You are not shadowed, replied the clerk, and after assuring him that everything was all right, the man asked for directions to a theatre and departed. He retired late that night and was not seen again till he appeared on the window ledge. Thomas Robinson, a real estate dealer in the Insurance exchange building, was at the Washington convention and met Hull. I thought Hull was troubled with softening of the brain, said he. He was indeed queer. At the convention he made a spread-eagle speech and some one called him down. He is a learned man, though, and I thought his eccentricities were due to overstudy. Mr. Shourds, of the jewelry firm of Shourds, Story & Kasper, is a distant relative of Hull. The State street merchant received a call from Hull yesterday, and subsequently advised the officers of the Palmer house to have a watchful eye over the man, as he thought he was slightly deranged. Among Hull's effects were scientific books and papers. He had about $35 in money and a draft for $75. He seemed to be a crank on criminal subjects, and in his valise were numerous press clipping with the headlines Who Killed Annie Weiss? Dr. Cronin's Murder, Given Paris Green and Hungarian Girl Missing. Yesterday afternoon he sent by express many of his personal effects to Leadville. Among them was his sword of the Sons of America. Hull has been committed to the Earle Institute for the Cure of Inebriates.

Rocky Mountain News 7-3-1889 Hull's Fatal Leap Suicide of a Leadville Mining Engineer by Leaping From a Window Chicago, July 2 The Clan-na-Gael cut a figure in another sensational tragedy here to-day. A well-known member of the order of Patriotic Sons of America was the victim. George W. Hull, a mining engineer of Leadville, Colo., leaped from a second story window of the State street front of the Palmer house to-day, striking on his head and fracturing his skull so that he will probably die. About 12:30 o'clock passersby on State street across from the Palmer house were horrified to see a man entirely naked except that his head was enveloped in a sheet, standing on the cornice of the third story of the hotel directly over the store of Lapham & Co. Two pillars, one on each side of the window, in front of which the nude and crazy-appearing man stood, form a part of the architectural ornament of the building, and to one of these he was holding on with one hand, while with the other he grasped about as though feeling for some guide to his further movements. He made a half step forward as if about to leap from his perch, but changed his mind, and taking the sheet from his head he stooped till he reached the edge of the cornice, when he swung himself outward and dropped. The Fatal Leap A large sign fastened to the building at a wide angle projected over Lapham's store, leaving a space of several feet between its upper edge and the wall. Into this pocket or bin-like shelf the man fell, alighting on his back. He seemed stunned by the concussion and remained still while fireman, Patrick Sullivan, who saw the man's queer actions, and Officer O'Tool procured a ladder which they placed against the sign with the idea of reaching him. As they started to ascend the ladder, Hull stood up, glared for a moment at his pursuers, as he thought them to be, gave a piercing scream and dived headlong past them to the stone pavement, where he lay gasping. The hotel people were notified and the employes carried the injured man to a room on the third floor, where he was attended by Dr. Harsey. The physician said Hull has sustained a fracture of the skull and some severe contusions, but he could not tell whether the injuries would prove fatal. He said the man was evidently suffering from an acute mania. Hull was taken to the county hospital. Hull has been at the hotel since Saturday night and occupied parlors on the main stoop. He had been at Washington as a delegate to the national convention of the P. O. S. of A., and was en route home to Leadville. Yesterday he developed signs of insanity, and told Clerk Milton that several persons were following him with the intention of taking his life. He said he had been shadowed ever since leaving Washington, and that his room was filled with prepared mirrors which recorded every action he made. Reading the accounts of the Cronin case in the Monday papers seemed to make him worse, and last night he called on Mr. Shourds, of Shourds, Storey & Casper, who is a relative, and told him that the Clan-na-Gael people were after him on account of the Cronin affair, and he feared they would kill him. He said to the hotel people that he was willing to give up his trunks and papers and go to jail to avoid the clan avengers. Looking For the Mirrors Before starting on his suicidal trip he tore the bed clothes in his room to pieces and disarranged the whole place, evidently in the search for the mirrors. Hull is about 35 years of age, unmarried, and his parents live somewhere in Iowa. After being brought to the room he struggled to escape from the grasp of the two officers who held him and repeatedly shouted No at the top of his voice. He seized the sheet with which he was covered in his teeth and shook it and acted as though he was suffering from hydrophobia. In view of Hull's notion that the Clan-na-Gael were after him, it is not a little singular that the two men from whom he leaped to death are Irishmen and both said to be staunch members of the clan.

Aspen Democrat 7-21-1910 Greeley, July 21 - Andrew Hunt, aged 65, who was recently released form the insane asylum, shot and seriously wounded his divorced wife yesterday at Lynn, six miles southeast of Longmont in the county. He is now locked in the county jail pending an investigation in to his sanity. Hunt was sent to the asylum five years ago. At that time he was arrested following an attempt to dynamite his own home. Since that time Mrs. Hunt has seen nothing of her husband and in the meantime obtained a divorce. Yesterday he unexpectedly appeared at his wife's ranch home and began abusing her and proceeded to deliver orders in large numbers. First he demanded a drink, then something else and finally a second and third drink. After she had obeyed all of his commands he drew a revolver and shot her in the thigh. He then took a position on a high hill near the ranch and defied the neighbors and the officers to try to take him. A deputy sheriff from Greeley finally slipped up behind the man and disarmed him. He is believed to be mentally unstable.

First he demanded a drink, then something else and finally a second and third drink. After she had obeyed all of his commands he drew a revolver and shot her in the thigh. He then took a position on a high hill near the ranch and defied the neighbors and the officers to try to take him. A deputy sheriff from Greeley finally slipped up behind the man and disarmed him. He is believed to be mentally unbalanced.
Hunt, Charles W.
Aspen Weekly Times 1-3-1903 Adjudged Insane The sad case of Charles W. Hunt came up before the county court yesterday evening at 4 o'clock. At the preliminary hearing Mr. Hunt declined to waive the examination. If he had consented to do so there would have been no need for further court proceedings, but the law gives the man accused of insanity ten days in which to prepare himself for trial. The ten days were up exactly at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. A jury of six men was chosen and passed upon the case. It is a grave and weighty matter, this deciding on a man's soundness of mind. If one is done an injury by the decision it is well nigh irreparable. If he is allowed to go free while he is really unbalanced the public is apt to regret it and suffer. In this particular case however, it is clear that the jury could not have well returned any other verdict. Hunt at times seems perfectly rational. He converses intelligently on various topics and exhibits no sign of mental aberration. Again he grows wild and become even violent. The sheriff has had more than one round with his prisoner. Hunt is clearly dangerous to public peace and safety and he should be kept in confinement until he is either cured or dies. The Times trusts that the former happy release from his terrible affliction will come with his removal to a lower altitude. He will be retained in the county jail for several days to come, for the insane asylum of the state is crowded and the private sanitariums are objectionable or are also filled.

Aspen Tribune 12-30-1897 - Contractor Hunt Insane Man Who Built the Holden Plant Has Lost His Mind Wednesday morning's Leadville Herald Democrat tells the following story of a man well known in Aspen: Lyman G. Hunt was adjudged insane in the county court Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Hunt is the well known scale man and is known all over the country. His insanity at this time is of a mild form and it was thought best to have him taken care of at once. Dr. R. J. McDonald states that Mr. Hunt is a melancholiac and that this has led to his becoming demented. His brain has lost its power of thought and leaves him wandering in an incoherent manner. Mr. Hunt has two sons, Howard, aged 21, and Archie, aged 16. His conduct has been such of late that both sons have become afraid of him and as he grew steadily worse it was thought best to have him taken care of at this time. He has been talking of selling great quantities (of) machinery every day and frequently made the statement that he has lost over a million dollars on his machinery deals. When the jury returned the verdict finding Hunt insane, he grew very violent, declaring that he was perfectly sane and able to take care of himself. He shouted that he would kill the first man who laid a hand on him. Finally Dr. McDonald induced Hunt to go and see a friend at the jail, and in this way he was taken by the doctor and officers into the jail. When they went to lock him up, however, he made a desperate struggle, kicking the doctor and the jailer. Finally he was subdued and placed in a cell. He declares that he would rather die than be taken to an insane asylum. Hunt is 52 years of age, and has been in Leadville since 1879. Some two years ago Mr. Hunt lost his wife and this deeply affected him. In fact since that time he has daily become more melancholy and would sit for hours at a time brooding over his trouble. It is thought by his physician that this also had a great deal to do with bringing on insanity. Mr. Hunt was an extremely active-brained man. His rough exterior was due more to a reluctance for wasting time than to anything else. He built the Holden lixiviation works at Aspen, conceiving and executing several changes in the original plans that proved very advantageous. Mr. Ed Holden was an ardent admirer of Mr. Hunt's mechanical genius and employed him whenever it was possible. The Philadelphia smelter at Pueblo was erected under his supervision and the job to this day is upon his mind. He was the contractor for the fish hatchery and is said to have lost money on the proposition. Some hitch occurred in its acceptance, but it was finally determined to be one of the best buildings of its kind in the United States.

Denver Evening Post 1-24-1899 Asylum Inquisitors Down to Hard Pan Pueblo, Jan. 24 What will probably be the last day of the insane asylum investigation by the legislative committee began this morning with a denunciation by Attorney (Mortimer F.) Taylor, who, in vigorous language, characterized the examination of witnesses as bullyragging, and of such an illegal nature that 90 per cent of the testimony taken would be thrown out of an ordinary justice court
Burrows' Graphic Story Thomas J. Burrows, supervisor of the male department was placed on the stand. The witness had come from a sick bed and his voice was husky, but he did not hesitate in his answers
Were you present when the committee from the board of charities and corrections discovered the body of a dead man? Yes. His name was Lyman G. Hunt. He was suffering from general paralysis, and for several weeks prior to his death was confined in bed. He received every attention conducive to his comfort. On the day the committee visited the institution my time was taken up in entertaining them. I saw him just before I went to the depot to meet them. He was neatly and tidily arranged on his cot. Immediately upon reaching the asylum J. S. Appel discovered that Hunt was dead. He had been left alone because the attendant in that ward had taken the rest of the patients out for an airing.

Denver Evening Post 1-25-1899 Summed Up By Word Nothing Insane Asylum Investigation Devoid of Results Pueblo, Jan. 25 After five days' investigation by the joint legislative investigating committee into the affairs of the state insane asylum, the state rested its case last night with the announcement of defeat
Clarence L. Stonaker, secretary of the board of charities and corrections, was placed on the stand
At the time the board made the investigation and discovered the dead body of Lyman Hunt, the board had been locked in the ward. Miss Jones came in and found us, said the witness. When she saw us she appeared surprised. I do not know who went out and locked us in. I had been beating on the door to attract somebody's attention, but was told to desist by one of the party for fear that it would excite some of the patients. We were in the midst of a crowd of insane women. In the committee were Governor Adams, Mrs. Sarah Platt, J. S. Appel, Chancellor McDowell and T. H. DeVine.

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.

Fort Collins Weekly Courier 7-28-1910 Goes Gunning For His Divorced WifeWoman Living Near Longmont Shot In Thigh By Former Husband, Who Had Once Been Inmate of Insane Asylum.(From Thursday's Daily) Longmont, Colo. July 21.At Rinn, a farming community six miles southeast of here yesterday afternoon, Andrew Hunter, went gunning for his divorced wife, Mrs. Emma Hunter and shot her in the thigh. She might have been killed but for a neighbor, E. S. Eveland, who suspected trouble and reached the scene in time to grapple with Hunter just as he shot, changing the direction of the bullet. During the struggle Hunter shot at Eveland twice but missed him. Fifteen years ago Mrs. Hunter secured a divorce on the ground of non-support. This made Hunter angry and he tried to blow up his brother-in-law's house with dynamite while Mrs. Hunter was in it. He was arrested and escaped a jail sentence by claiming to be insane. He was sent to the insane asylum at Pueblo for a term and after his discharge went east. About two months ago he appeared at the old home and tried to become reconciled to his divorced wife, but she refused to have anything to do with him. After he left she armed herself, expecting him to make trouble, but as he did not appear for some time, she supposed he had left the country and returned the weapon she had borrowed. This was what he was waiting for and yesterday he called at the house, asked for a drink of water, and while she was handing it to him, he shot her. The sheriff of Weld county was notified and while waiting for him neighbors watched Hunter, so that he could not escape. Deputy Sheriff Peterson arrived about 4 p.m., found Hunter with his revolver at his side. Peterson got the drop on Hunter and arrested him. Mrs. Hunter and her five children are well thought of in the neighborhood and by hard work have made a good home out of a poor place when Hunter was head of the family.

Hunter is not thought by those about the sheriff's office to be as much a criminal as a lunatic.

Rocky Mountain News 1-25-1888 Three lunacy cases were tried in the County court yesterday morning, but the parties were all quiet and well behaved, and there was no circus. Neither were there any interesting developments. Among the number was Anthony Hurst, who assailed with an ax an officer who went to arrest him while in a row with a Chinaman. He had been convicted of assault in the Criminal court but turned over to the County court for inquiry into his mental condition. He was pronounced a lunatic with the rest, and will go to the asylum with them.

The case had been set for yesterday, but when it came up the prisoner's counsel announced that he should make the defense of insanity. He had recently learned that Hurst had been at one time confined in an insane asylum at Long View near Cincinnati, and again in another asylum somewhere in the East, and he desired time to secure evidence of these matters. Hurst has been in jail since his arrest.

Telluride Daily Journal 6-28-1910 Women Compose Jury Which Says Another Is Insane By Associated Press Hahn's Peak, Colo., June 28. Unable to find a sufficient number of men eligible for jury duty, Judge Morning of the county court suspended the custom of men and summoned a jury composed wholly of women. With a true sense of the responsibilities imposed on them, every one of the women of the venire responded, and with the same sense of duty apparently when their deliberations of the evidence proved one of their own sex insane, they returned the verdict of guilty without hesitation. Only six are required on an insanity case jury. After all had qualified, their names were submitted as follows: Maud Keller, Mrs. M. Q. Starr, Marry Creswell, Kate Pulley, Emma McCormick and Mrs. Alice Ryan. The defendant was Elizabeth Hutchinson. Evidence was given by relatives and other witnesses, and when the case was submitted to the jury the court gave these brief instructions. I don't know whether to address you as the jury or a juress, but in either event the evidence is now submitted to you, and fate of the defendant is in your hands. Consider the evidence in an unbiased and impartial manner, and when you are able to agree on your deliberations do not permit the sex of the defendant to prejudice you in rendering a verdict. The jury was out only a short time, and returned a verdict of guilty, then left the courtroom to return to their household duties. Since the fire (at) Hahn's Peak, the county seat of Routt county, has less than thirty inhabitants, and there were not enough eligibles in Judge Morning's entire district to form a venire.

Steamboat Pilot 6-29-1910 Judge Morning Has Jury of Six Women Mrs. Elizabeth Hutchinson was Thursday adjudged insane before Judge Morning in the county court and will be brought down today. Tomorrow she will be taken to Pueblo, being accompanied by her granddaughter, Miss Murl Hoskinson, who will give her attention on the trip. The trial held before Judge Morning yesterday was unique in the annals of the state, for the jury was composed entirely of women. The following ladies qualified and performed the duties of citizens with credit, showing that women do not shirk any of the responsibilities which go with the ballot: Mrs. Kate Starr, Mrs. Emma McCormick, Mrs. Kate Pulley, Mrs. Mary Creswell, Miss Maud Keller and Mrs. Reagan. It was a novel scene during the important trial with the jury box filled with women to pass upon the sanity of one of their sex, and it sets a new standard and precedent for women throughout the United States, and will be a powerful argument in support of women suffrage.

Yampa Leader 6-24-1910 Mrs. Hutchinson Insane Mrs. Elizabeth Hutchinson of Steamboat was taken to Hahn's Peak by Sheriff Campbell yesterday, and an inquisition is being held today to pass upon her sanity. It is said that for some time her mental condition has been going from bad to worse, and it was decided best to place her in an institution where she can have proper medical attention. Mrs. Hutchinson is an old timer in Routt county, and for many years was the owner of the famous Hutchinson coal bank in Twenty-mile park. She is the mother of Mrs. Bud Hoskinson of Steamboat, and at one time, from 1890 until 1892, she resided near Yampa.

Routt County Sentinel 6-24-1910 Pioneer Goes to Pueblo There is something new every minute at Hahn's Peak. This week Mrs. Elizabeth Hutchinson was tried for lunacy before a jury in the county court. Owing to the scarcity of men Judge Morning was up against it as the street urchin would say, for jurors, and he did not know how to relieve the dilemma. Finally one of the women at the Peak suggested that he secure a jury composed entirely of women. This caused the popular judge to go through every leaf in the statutes. He could not find where the female sex was barred from jury duty, and he got the sheriff busy at once. Here is the list: Mrs. Marshall Starr, foreman; Miss Maud Keller, Mrs. Mary Crisswell, Mrs. Kate Pulley, Mrs. Emma McCormick, Mrs. Alice M. Reagen. The jury whispered to the judge that Mrs. Hutchinson, according to evidence, was simple minded and that she should be taken care of. The court did the rest and the lady, accompanied by the sheriff and her grand-daughter, Miss Murl Hoskinson, started for the asylum at Pueblo this morning. Mrs. Hutchinson had a splendid home with her daughter, Mrs. Hoskinson, but frequently would wander off and remain away for days. This caused considerable alarm, and it was thought best to place her where she could receive protection and perhaps recover her mind. Several years ago Mrs. Hutchinson owned considerable property, among which was the Hutchinson coal mine in Twenty Mile from which she received a splendid income annually, but through foolish litigation owing to the hallucination that others were trying to beat her out of her possessions, she lost everyting. As she has but a short time to live on account of advanced age her many friends in Routt county hope that she will pass the last few days in comfort.
