Carbonate Chronicle 1-17-1916 Was Pursued By Hypnotist At Least That's What Andrew Jackson Thot, and Jury Decided He'd Better Be in Lunatic Asylum His own statements that he believes a hypnotist is after machinery patents he thinks he possesses, that neighbors sneaked into his house when he failed to nail up the windows, that one night he saw the hypnotist in the house with a mask over his face, resulted in a jury's determination that Andrew Jackson, of 401 East Second street, is insane, yesterday afternoon. The examination was held in the county court after Jackson, at a preliminary examination Monday last declared he was sane and desired a jury examination. No, I'm not crazy; I'm a smart man, Jackson replied to one question by County Attorney Joseph W. Clarke. His replies which followed, however, showed that he is obsessed by the idea that he is constantly pursued. He admitted that he nailed up the doors of his house at nights to keep these people out. He believed a family named Casey lived next door and that they numbered ten or a dozen. One of them is a hypnotist, he said, who is determined to steal patents on machinery which Jackson has made. These people could not come in when the doors were nailed, he declared, but on nights when the doors were unnailed, they sneaked in and walked around. One night I looked in the bedroom and saw a man lying there, the insane man said, making a motion across his eyes. He had his face covered. Other witnesses testified that Jackson believed one of his six children is not his. I don't know whose girl Lilly is, he stated. I think some one of them is not mine. Later he said, It doesn't make any difference, I was good to her. He did not remember telling a doctor that some man was shooting at him. Mrs Philip Moog, of 311 East Third street, and Mrs. Archie Wall, who testified Monday were called again. The former repeated how Jackson struck her with a dinner place one day when she called at the house. On several occasions Mrs. Jackson and the children were forced to flee to Mrs. Wall's for the night when he became violent. Dr. R. J. McDonald, who believed the patient is insane, had treated Jackson several times after his spine was injured in an accident at the Yak tunnel and before he was sent to the state insane asylum at a previous time. Jackson was discharged from the asylum January 26, 1914. The paralysis of the patient's legs, which forces him to drag his feet by means of crutches, caused ulcers on his feet, the doctor said. Once when he treated these Jackson thot they were caused by other people. The paralysis is similar to locomotor ataxia so far as it affects his feet, he stated. Dr. H. A. Calkins, who was called as a witness by Jackson, gave his opinion that Jackson is mentally deranged. Mrs. Andrew Hill, who lives two doors from the Jacksons, housed Mrs. Jackson one night after she had been run out of her home in terror, Mrs. Hill said. Jackson had told her once that a man had hypnotized him, or took his mind away. Andrew Hill saw Mrs. Jackson jump thru a window of her home at 9:30 one night, tho he could not say what drove her to this peculiar act. Jackson had been taken in charge by the sheriff for safekeeping three times in a few months, the witness said. I think something should be done with him, he declared. Ed Rossi, who formerly lived near Jackson, never saw anything strange in his actions. Mrs. Annie Rossi had seen Jackson pull his wife's hair and strike her down, and on several occasions he had struck the children with his crutches or anything he could wield. She has also seen him come from the house alone, laughing strangely. John Clements, of 403 East Second street, never observed anything wrong in Jackson's actions, tho he heard him nailing up the doors every night. When Attorney R. D. McLeod, attorney ad litem for Jackson, called on Mrs. Clements, Andrew Hill started a laugh by jumping up and saying, You'll have to excuse her, fellows. She hasn't been in this county a very long time. She can't speak very good. You've got enough witnesses without her. I think something ought to be done to keep this fellow in a safe place. It's up to you what to do, but you've heard what these witnesses have said. The jury reached a finding within a few minutes. The jurymen were Bradley T. Willson, Porter Wilson, Al. Ganz, Peter Johnson, Matt McDonald and George A. Marsh. Jackson was born in Finland thirty-five years ago. He is the father of six children, the oldest of whom is 11. He married in Leadville on October 14, 1900. Since he was injured nine years ago, his wife has been forced to earn a livelihood by taking in washing and doing other work. The patient will be taken to the Woodcroft sanatorium at Pueblo, the state asylum, which Jackson evidently loathes, being filled to capacity. At several times during both examinations, Jackson declared he did not like the state asylum and would not go back there.

Other bills brought up were also filed for future discussion before settlement. One bill, which Commissioner Schmidt referred to as a bluff, came from the state insane asylum, at Pueblo, asking for several hundred dollars to pay the expenses incurred through B. F. Jackson, deceased, a lunatic who was sent to the asylum from here several years ago. On County Attorney Clarke's statement that such wards become charges of the state as soon as they are transferred to state institutions, the board tabled the bill, and it will probably not be brought up again

Denver Evening Post 9-26-1896 Denver's Insane in Dismal Quarters Arapahoe county, through negligence of its officials, pays thousands of dollars annually to the state insane asylum for the care of its insane and the people never receive the benefit of the money expended. By the manner in which the state authorities permit the state asylum to be conducted they are responsible to the people of Arapahoe county for taking their thousands and giving them but slight benefits in return. Superintendent Thoms of the Pueblo asylum says Arapahoe county is entitled to but 33 per cent of the patients in the institution, and that its allowance is already present within the walls. The county commissioners of Arapahoe county know that the people whom they represent contribute 46 per cent of the support of the state asylum, yet they crowd their insane into small, badly-lighted cells in the basement of the county hospital instead of exerting sufficient endeavors to force the state asylum to receive patients for whom the institution has been paid. The hospital is now sheltering twenty-five insane patients when it should be sheltering none. There are no facilities and what means are at the disposal of the superintendent and medical staff are inadequate to cope with the constantly increasing number of lunatics. The hospital authorities are struggling nobly but it is a severe tax upon them and the county. It is a shame of many appealing voices (?) that the insane of the county are so poorly taken care of and that a dangerous lunatic should be made to suffer irritation beyond measure because of a lack of better quarters
During the present year the county hospital has been relieved by the state asylum of but twenty-five of its charges who had been forced upon it by a lack of room at the state asylum, where they are firmly denied admission. At one time not many weeks ago there were nine persons tried in the county court on the charge of insanity, and all adjudged insane. They were at once taken to the county hospital for temporary detention. There are now at the hospital twenty-five persons who are adjudged insane, but who have not been sent to the state asylum. The county must support these people, regardless of their 46 per cent of the support of the state asylum. The patients at present in the county hospital are: Edith M. Jackson

Carbonate Chronicle 5-27-1912 Freeman Jackson, who was confined in the county jail last week and later taken to a hospital on account of his irrational conduct, was tried yesterday in the county court for insanity. The jury returned a verdict finding him insane. A number of witnesses were examined by County Attorney Bouck and by Attorney Pendery, for the defendant. Among these were two friends, William Vice and Sam Haskell; Undersheriff Harlan and County Physician Jeannotte, who attended Jackson during his illness. Both of the friends said that he had been acting as though his mind was distracted for the past week and had on a number of occasions made threats of violence against them. Haskell stated that Jackson had taken a dislike to him because he insisted on his not going out of the house. When asked if he knew of anything such as an accident or an inherited tendency for insanity in Jackson's recond, he replied that some years ago the demented man had been struck on the head with a pistol while he was engaged in a fight. Other persons who remember the affair say that it was a piece of scantling with which the man was struck. From that time he never seemed to be right, according to the testimony taken yesterday. Undersheriff Harlan told of Jackson's actions while he was in jail, saying that at times he seemed to be rational and then would begin to make threats of violence against the officers. Dr. Jeannotte in his testimony strongly advised that the man be sent to a hospital for the insane where he could be properly cared for and perhaps cured of his mental derangement. The doctor declined to answer the question of Attorney Pendery to show whether insanity was prevalent in the Jackson family. Some things as those are between the patient and me, said Dr. Jeannotte. The jury was out ten minutes and then brought in a verdict that Jackson is insane or distracted and dangerous to his own person and to the persons and property of others. Judge Harrison gave judgment to the effect that Jackson be confined in the asylum at Pueblo until he is in the discretion of the authorities there considered a safe man to be at large. Jackson yesterday answered the questions of Attorney Bouck with intelligence and was able to tell his age, where he was born, his occupation. But he could scarcely talk as he said that his stomach was in a bad condition. I didn't give my stomach a square deal, said Jackson in low muttering tones. I drank too much. All the time that Mr. Bouck was questioning him, Jackson kept pleading in feeble tones, Won't you please ask the judge to let me go home. The unfortunate man was taken to Pueblo last night by Sheriff Schraeder. The jurors were: W. G. Parker (foreman), M. W. Hollister, J. W. Poulson, Frank E. Williams, Jake Murray and George E. Collar.

Carbonate Chronicle 12-28-1914 From Monday's Daily Death of Freeman Jackson Freeman Jackson, for twenty years a miner in the Leadville district, died at Pueblo early yesterday morning, it was announced in a telegram received by his wife, who lives at 109 North Toledo avenue. He was 39 years old. Jackson died at the Pueblo sanatorium where he had been under medical care for two and (a) half years, following a mental derangement at the beginning of that time which resulted from cranial injuries. He was born at Prince Edward's Island 39 years ago, and came to Leadville while he was a youth. He had been a miner and leaser in the district for twenty years, and was widely known here. For a number of years he had been a member of the Miners' union, Cloud City local No. 33, and the Fraternal Union. Surviving him here are his wife, one son and one daughter. His mother, one brother and four sisters, live at Prince Edward's Island. Mrs. Jackson telegraphed to Pueblo last night regarding arrangements for the funeral services, which will be announced later.

Telluride Daily Journal 4-24-1915 Mexican Declared Insane A jury in the County Court Wednesday afternoon after a careful examination pronounced a Mexican by the name of John D. Jacobs of unsound mind and ordered him sent to the asylum. He will go, however, as a patient from San Miguel county, it being thus understood by the officials of the two counties, in view of the fact that Jacobs and his family were formerly charges of San Miguel county and had been sent down here from San Miguel county with the thought that the lower altitude might benefit Jacob's health.

Telluride Daily Journal 4-28-1915 Merry Time Sheriff Gill, who returned a couple of days ago from Pueblo where he took the insane Mexican, John Jacobs, pleads to be relieved of any more such tasks as handling a crazy Mexican. He said that Jacobs led him a merry chase from the time they left Montrose until they reached Pueblo. He started out by humoring the man and the more he was humored the more he wanted to be humored until he had his own way on the train. By the time we got to our destination, says Mr. Gill, Jacobs was the sheriff and I was the prisoner. So embued was Jacobs with the idea that he insisted on putting me to bed, giving me my medicine and bathing my head and feet. Every once in a while he would feel my pulse to see how his patient was getting along. A deputy U. S. marshal on the train relieved me for a couple of hours but soon got his fill of the job and called me back. Toward the end of the journey Jacobs got two men on the train cornered and with his Bible in his hand he proceeded to expound to them the Scriptures. They fell in with the proposition and in so doing relieved Mr. Gill of considerable nervousness, as he forgot about everything else while he was interested in religion. Montrose Enterprise.

Telluride Daily Journal 5-29-1915 Patient Died in Pueblo. County officials here have received information to the effect that John Jacobs, a San Miguel county charge in the Woodcroft hospital for the insane in Pueblo, died in that institution on Wednesday night of this week. Jacobs who was a county charge here was sent to Montrose county and maintained there by San Miguel county for the benefit the lower altitude might do him. Some few months ago charges of insanity were preferred against him and he was sent to Pueblo. Another sad feature of the case is that but a few weeks after he was sent to Pueblo his wife was adjudged insane and sent to the institution.

Aspen Democrat 3-2-1909 Builds Cross Out of Newspaper - Pueblo, March 1 - Confined in the cell of the city jail is a mere boy - he is insane. Lewis Jacobs is his name. His brother is an attendant at the Minnequa hospital. The case is woefully pathetic. The boy had gone back to visit relatives at Newton, Kansas, after a short stay here with his brother. There he became deranged. He is a religious fanatic and his mind over-turned at his fervor. His brother went back to Newton and brought him here, It was his intention to have him confined in the same institution where he was an attendant in the hope that he might do something to bring about restored reason. Cut the edicts of the law could not be circumvented. He had to be first legally adjudged insane. This will be done tomorrow. The he will go to the hospital. He laid most of yesterday on the floor of his cell - prone on his back. He had secured a newspaper. This he tore up into sections a foot square. With these pieces placed out a huge cross on the cell floor. Then he lay down beside it. "I will bear the weight of the cross". He rambled. "I was born into the world to suffer. I am a little boy four years old. I can bear the weight of the cross." Then he would rabble into gutterals that were unintelligible. He is not inclined to be violent. He is 24 years old.

Rocky Mountain News 8-21-1889 Courts and Clients An Insane Young Man Treated to the Water Cure by Brutal Jail Officials The Father of an Imbecile Complains About the Heartless Conduct of Officers Arresting His Son The county court mill turned out a grist of work yesterday, including the adjudication on a couple of lunacy cases
And then came the King of Sweden, an old identity with a twenty-five years' record in Denver. His majesty is not very dangerous except when drunk; then he commands deference due to his exalted rank and breaks things. He has worked at every possible occupation in the world and imbibed every alcoholic beverage known to the human race. While in his cups, he is more kingly than ever and imagines things. During his examination yesterday he denied his oft expressed identity with the Swedish monarch, but claimed to be on speaking terms with him. A verdict of insanity was returned. He will be confined in Pueblo.
Jacobson, Mr.
Rocky Mountain News 5-3-1883 A poor crazy fool, known as the King of Sweden, was arrested a day or two ago, and yesterday was given a fine and sentence which will keep him in jail about six months. This is a gross judicial outrage. The man is stark mad and it is shameful to treat him as though he were a criminal. He ought to be sent to the state asylum. To sentence a man to three months in jail and to a fine of $210 (?) for being crazy is a disgrace even to the average judicial quack known as a justice of the peace. If there is any decency or any law in the state, this cruel and fool sentence ought to be overturned and the poor lunatic sent where he can be properly treated. Jeffries, a small newspaper reporter, is responsible for this beastly business. Tribune. Our esteemed contemporary is right in denouncing the outrage committed in sending this poor lunatic to the county jail for six months. The insane asylum is the proper place for the King of Sweden, and the county authorities should lose no time in securing his transfer to Pueblo. But we think an unjustifiable offense to the reportorial profession is contained in the closing sentence of the Tribune's paragraph. Jeffries is a petty creature who, like necessity, knows no law. He was as miserable a failure in his attempt to become a reporter as he is in his present endeavor to administer justice.
Jacobson, Mr.
Rocky Mountain News 5-4-1883 The county authorities should cause the immediate removal of the poor lunatic who styles himself the King of Sweden from the Arapahoe jail to the state insane asylum. His incarceration by order of Jeffries is about as flagrant an example of the mockery known as justice of the peace justice, as has ever occurred even in Denver, where a man with seven indictments hanging over him is permitted to administer judicial functions pending his own trial.
Jacobson, Mr.
Rocky Mountain News 5-18-1883 The poor lunatic who calls himself the King of Sweden, still lies in the Arapahoe county jail although the attention of the proper authorities has been repeatedly called to his condition. The county commissioners are so busy designing a marble tablet to be inserted in the walls of the court house to inform the world that one Peter Gomery is an honest contractor, that they have no time to devote to the King of Sweden's case. We do not know just why the honesty of this contractor should be flaunted in the face of the public at the expense of Arapahoe county. As we understand the matter Peter Gomery was paid his contract price for his work. Is honesty so rare among contractors that a marble tablet must be used to chronicle the discovery of one? Our county commissioners would do well to attend to the business for which they are so liberally paid before doing the great Diogenes lantern act. The King of Sweden should be sent to the state insane asylum and Mr. Gomery's tablet should not be imbedded in the masonry of the new and very costly court house.

Rocky Mountain News 4-9-1885 A Mad Monarch The poor fellow Jacobson, who is generally believed to be a lunatic, but who seems to be remarkably sane on the subject of whiskey, was again arrested yesterday, Officer Schalk taking him in charge. Jacobson is better known about town as the King of Sweden, but is without a kingdom at present and his reason appears long since to have deserted his throne. The king is said to have been very drunk yesterday and to have created considerable disturbance on the streets. He was lodged in jail.

Leadville Daily Herald 10-17-1882 Adjudged Insane Unfortunate Young Men Said to be Bereft of Reason Yesterday afternoon Judge Gunnel was occupied in adjudicating on the sanity of Hugh E. Price, of England, and John Jalindo of France
The next subject for reconsideration was a Frenchman, but twenty years of age. As he shambled into the witness chair, for he is a born cripple in both feet, his idiotic stare brought forth plenty of sympathy. To question him was easy, but to obtain correct answers was far more difficult. He claimed in disconnected replies, to have been born on the Island of Corsica, in France, and to have come to this country in a boat as a stow away. He denied knowledge of some of the city officials, but others he knew. Jailer Haas testified that he had been at the city jail three times for various offenses, and once had served a term. Once, while walking with the officer, Jalindo deliberately stopped and destroyed a large pane of glass in a restaurant window at the corner of Pine and Chestnut streets by throwing a silver dollar through it. The jury did not leave their seats to settle the verdict in this case when Jailer Haas finished his story of the prisoner's conduct when behind the bars, which is entirely unfit for publication. The commissioners will now have to issue orders to have both these demented men taken to proper institutions.

Jenkins who have been adjudged insane in the county court and committed to the state insane asylum. Young Reaves had his hearing Saturday. Mr. Jenkins who has been in charge of the American Carpet Company's store the last few months became quite violent Saturday night and had to be placed in the city jail for safe keeping. He was under the delusion that some one was trying to blow him up with dynamite and was forging his name to checks which he had drawn himself. Jenkins had his hearing yesterday afternoon and being originally from Georgia. Judge Brown made a citation on the commitment papers allowing his relatives the privilege of later taking him to his home state should they so desire. Mrs. Jenkins accompanied her husband to Pueblo this morning. For the time being he will be confined in a private institution in the hope that he may eventually be cured.

Elbert County Banner 9-13-1907 Chased By Little Red Devils Insane Man Who Has Been Wandering for Years Recaptured Denver. Chris Jensen, who three years ago made a sensational escape from the insane hospital at Pueblo, where he was committed, charged with the murder July 10, 1901 of Mrs. Amenia Bullis, who owned a little ranch on Mrytle hill, was arrested recently near police headquarters by Detectives Connor and White. Examinations during the preparations for a trial found Jensen to be insane and he was sent to the Pueblo hospital as a dangerous maniac. Of a peculiar cunning, he one day wormed his way out of confinement and made his escape so successfully that weeks of searching proved useless. Where he has been since his escape is a mystery. He showed up at police headquarters, and, hungry and tired, asked for lodging. He was given temporary shelter in one of the cells of the city jail. The watchman was attracted by hallucinations of Jensen and listening to them concluded that the man was mentally unsound. Jensen was taken into the office of the police surgeon, where it was found that his mind was unbalanced, and he was ordered returned to his cell in the jail. As he sat in a chair in the surgeon's office he moaned that he didn't want to go out because he was afraid that he would kill someone. Then he said that he had been pursued by thousands of little red devils. They don't come into the jail, he added. Jenson was released the following morning apparently in his right mind. But late yesterday afternoon he rushed into police headquarters shouting that he was being pursued and asked for assistance. They can't chase me into the jail, he said. I want to go in there. He was sent away, but Capt. Frank Lee later remembered the man as Chris Jensen and Detectives Connor and White were sent in pursuit. They captured him at Fourteenth and Larimer street.

Johnson,
Rocky Mountain News 1-22-1883 - Doom of the Daft - To Be Placed in Dungeons Unfit for Dogs - No Suitable Place Provided for the Penniless Insane - One of the most important matters which will come up before the present legislature, and which will meet the hearty support of the authorities of every county in the state, is the bill to provide for an appropriation to enlarge and complete the insane asylum at Pueblo. In its present state of incompletion the asylum will barely accommodate fifty persons, and these uncomfortably. The result of this is that the state authorities are constantly refusing to accept from counties dozens of insane persons, pleading lack of accommodations in the asylum as their excuse, and the unfortunate beings are thrown into jails, out-houses, cellars or any other disagreeable place where they can be kept with the least trouble or danger. The Arapahoe commissioners daily receive letters of appeal from the commissioners of other counties, which are not so well provided with accommodations for insane as this county, requesting them to shelter insane men and women in order that they might be given proper medical care. These letters have to be thrown aside as the commissioners of this county have more insane people on their hands than they can properly care for. There are now in the county hospital five demented inmates, who cause no end of trouble, and in order that they may not interfere with the conduct of the hospital, are treated very much in the same manner as dangerous criminals. A News reporter visited the hospital yesterday, accompanied by Mr. J. A. Shreve, chairman of the board of commissioners. The hospital buildings are two in number and are located on a little knoll just west of Broadway and on the south side of Cherry creek. Both of the buildings are good looking and substantial in appearance. Under the direction of Dr. Kelley, the resident physician, the reporter made a complete tour of the hospital. Every ward was found to be filled with men in various stages of sickness, and suffering with all kinds of diseases. In one ward in the second building are the patients suffering from acute diseases, such as pneumonia, heart disease and rheumatism. In this ward the most suffering is visible. In other wards are men suffering from broken limbs, accidents, chronic diseases, and in a ward by themselves are convalescent patients. In this way 110 men, women and children are crowded together to share the cup of misery. Among the patients who are suffering from blindness is Captain Jack Travis, who was once famous as the champion pistol shot of the country. Very little remains of this once famous man, and as he drags his bent and aged form across the ward, in which he sits continually, the observer can not help but pity him. Jack like all men who have been famous, is a character in his own way. His characteristics are excessive talking and excessive melancholy. It happened yesterday that he was attacked with a fit of melancholy and he was not in a communicative mood, but from his attendants it was learned that he tells big stories of the duels in which he acted as principal and second. In another ward there is a man named Nels Streeter, who is just recovering from the effects of a railway accident. This man had a most remarkable operation performed upon him - nothing more or less than removing two inches of the upper bone in the left arm. He now has complete use of his arm and can move his fingers just the same as if the bone had never been removed. In the same ward is a laborer named Joseph Brias suffering with frozen hands and feet. The reporter went from these scenes of misery to the basement of the institution. This is made decently comfortable by the heat from the boilers. The front portion is divided off into cells or apartments and are completely devoid of furniture of any kind. They are cold and cheerless in appearance and must be revolting to the inmates. In the first of these cells Henry O'Neil is confined. O'Neil has to be locked up constantly, and has to be kept away from beds or anything which can be destroyed. The other day he tore an iron bedstead to pieces, and during the operation cut off the front part of his nose. The wound, though a serious one, was dressed by Dr. Kelley, and is now healing up. In another cell the reporter saw an object lying on the floor curled up in a blanket and not moving. This was Ida Stroetger. She was stark naked, having torn off her clothes, and she was exposed to the cold and chill of her cell. This poor thing's condition is deplorable in the extreme. There is another insane patient in the basement named Johnson. The latter occupies a small couch and rarely ever gets up from it. An upper story room is occupied by Mr. Godfrey, who was recently adjudged insane. And there is still another, Agnes Mears. Dr. Kelley says that the quarters provided for these poor people are not fit to be occupied by dogs, but on account of the crowded wards nothing better can be done for them. They are practically cut off from seeing the rays of the sun or anything else that is cheerful and aids in the recovery of the insane. Instead of assisting in their recovery their stay in the county hospital only makes that more improbable.

Durango Democrat 7-13-1900 Silverton Miner in Unfortunate Condition Silverton, Colo., July 12 (Special) Sheriff Casad returned late last night with Albert Johnson, who was found violently insane near a place called the Hay Meadows, on the Rio Grande river, about 28 miles from Silverton. Johnson is a miner by occupation, having worked on the Gold King mine at Gladstone since last August. Last Saturday he left Silverton on foot to go to Creede, going across the range over Stony Pass. His mission to Creede was for the purpose of trying to make a settlement with the receivers of the defunct Bank of Creede, in which he had some $500 deposited before its failure. On his way over the range, from what he says, he was overtaken by three men and that one of the men took five shots at him, while the others maltreated him for several hours, causing him to lose his mind, and in wandering he came to the hay ranch. He was taken in hand at the ranch and word sent here Monday for an officer. His story seems somewhat plausible as to the three men, one of whom must have been the man who broke out of the county jail last Saturday night, and the two others who aided him to escape, as it is reported that three men passed the hay ranch Sunday evening headed down the Rio Grande river. From persons who knew Johnson well, they say he is a sober and industrious man, and that he has quite a sum of money deposited in the banks at Denver, and that Saturday when he left for Creede he had money on his person. But when found no money could be found on him, and it may be that the three parties who overtook him relieved him of the same. His case is considered critical by the attending physician.

The lady named is a widow residing on Paul street in Colfax. She was sent by the authorities several weeks ago to the hospital and later neighbors had her arrested for a disturbance and she was taken to jail, where she remained a short time. In the latest case the accused was found to be the guilty party and he was fined and Mrs. Johnson released. A number of prominent people have interested themselves in her case and announced their belief that interested parties, who desire to get control of her property and get her out of the way, are instituting the present proceedings. However this may be good counsel has been employed and if the case comes to trial some interesting developments are promised.

Rocky Mountain News 3-28-1894 A Ward of the State Representation That Her Estate Has Been Wasted Mrs. Waite was at the court house yesterday making some inquiries concerning the estate of Mrs. Antoine Johnson. Mrs. Johnson was sent to Pueblo for insanity about three years ago. The superintendent of the asylum certified last July that she was sufficiently recovered to return to her home. Rev. Henry T. Rauh has been the administrator of her estate and she thinks there is not so much of it left as there should be. Her form of insanity was the hallucination that she was being robbed all the time, and this mental twist has decidedly not left her. She is perfectly rational on all subjects but this, but when financial matters are approached she is not to be reasoned with. Her children have been cared for out of her estate, which consisted of a small house on the West side and about $1,000. Her husband, Max Johnson, deserted the children when she was committed. She persists in believing that he is in the city and has led her friends on two or three merry chases to capture him, but always to find the quarry the wrong man. She thinks now that he is employed as a cook somewhere on Larimer street, but her friends are skeptical. Mrs. Waite has more faith in her sanity than most people and is trying to straighten out her tangled affairs.

Rocky Mountain News 3-25-1896 Squatter Sovereignty Colfax Landlord Secures a Voluntary Tenant If you find what you want, take it, is the motto which was brought to the attention of Frank Steele, clerk to the chairman of the board of county commissioners, yesterday. The clerk has some peculiar cases to look after but the one which was brought to his attention by a prominent real estate agent was more than peculiar. The agent claimed that he had on his lists for rental purposes the property at 1849 West Colfax avenue and that several days ago a customer had appeared for the property and had been given the keys to make an inspection. An hour later the would-be tenant reappeared saying that he had found the house occupied and a huge dog had disputed entrance. Then the real estate man sent around to see what was up. He found Mrs. Antonio Johnson and family of children comfortably fixed in the house and when she was asked to vacate she persistently refused to do so. She also refused to pay rent but offered the use of a house belonging to her in another portion of Colfax in remuneration. The landlord did not care to go to an expense of about $15 in a justice court to have the unwelcome tenant ejected and also was unwilling to reap the notoriety attendant upon such proceedings. In his dilemma he appealed to the county commissioners for aid. Clerk Steele called on Mrs. Johnson and discovered a funny state of affairs. The woman had been confined in the insane asylum two years ago and had been discharged as cured. Her dementia left her bereft of business sense. She made bargains all her own way without consulting the parties on the other side. She told Clerk Steele that she owned a house and several lots on Paul street and that up to last November she had lived there very comfortably. Then the children who attended the same school as Mrs. Johnson's children began to use insulting language toward the latter and taunt them because of their mother's former condition. This kept up so long that Mrs. Johnson decided to move in another school district. The dwelling was just the same size as the one owned by her and as the doors were opened she went inside and carefully inspected the walls and windows. Some of the latter were knocked out but a couple of old hats shoved into the openings improved matters to her satisfaction so she hired a wagon and moved her belongings and children into the new abode. Not a word was sent to the owner of the place because Mrs. Johnson thought that portion could be attended to in due time. When Clerk Steele called she explained her part of the deal which she supposed would suit the other side. As the house was exactly similar to the one she owned Mrs. Johnson thought it would be a square deal to allow the owners of the house she was living in to have similar use of the one which she says she was driven to desert and no amount of inducement would cause her to change her mind. She was satisfied where she was and was not satisfied where she had been and that was all she cared about the matter. When Clerk Steele communicated his information to the agent for the property the latter was staggered and is still undecided about his future action. He will await the instructions of the owner before proceeding to eject the widow who is now industriously earning a living for herself and children.

Denver Evening Post 5-26-1896 Thinks She is a Witch Hallucination Held By a Colfax Woman A complaint was filed with the county commissioners to-day, charging Antonio Johnson with being insane. She was removed to the county hospital this afternoon to await a trial, which will probably result in her commitment to the Pueblo insane asylum. The woman has been a familiar figure on the streets of Denver for a score of years. Of late she has been supported by the county. She lives in Colfax, and at present is laboring under the delusion that her next door neighbor is a witch. Some time ago she became dissatisfied with the house in which she was living. There happened to be a vacant house near by, and she moved all her effects into it and set up housekeeping. When the surprised owner found his house tenanted without his permission he attempted to induce Mrs. Johnson to return to her own home. She firmly refused, saying that if the owner wanted her house he could have it. It was just as big, and had just as many rooms as the one in which she was living. She remained in the house three months before she was finally persuaded to go peacefully back to her old home. Fifteen years ago the woman was well to do financially and had a large circle of friends in Denver. She became partially demented through money losses. She cared for a friendless old man, and several years ago, he left her a few thousand dollars, which have been eaten up in law suits.

Rocky Mountain News 5-27-1896 Thought She Was Bewitched Demented Woman Pursues the Object of Her Hatred Feeble-minded Mrs. Antonio Johnson, whose home is on Powell street, Colfax, who has created much trouble in the neighborhood in which she lives for the past six months was yesterday taken into custody by deputy sheriffs and placed in the county hospital as an insane person. Some years ago Mrs. Johnson's husband deserted her and his disappearance blighted the woman's life. About six months ago a man who boarded at the Johnson home skipped with a wagon load of the woman's furniture and household belongings. Lately Mrs. Johnson conceived the idea that a kindly old lady who lived a short distance from the Johnson house was a witch and that her baleful influence had affected her (Mrs. Johnson) as well as the Johnson children, the Johnson pigs and the Johnson cow and chickens. Last Saturday Mrs. Johnson chased the alleged witch with a 22-caliber revolver. Not long ago Mrs. Johnson moved her effects into a large house in Colfax without the knowledge of the owner or agent. At the house yesterday the officers found a trunk filled with small packages each about six inches in length and two in width. The packages contained nothing but paper and cloth. Mrs. Johnson has been confined in the state insane asylum and will again be tried for insanity.

En route to Denver, Johnson became unmanageable and apparently developed insanity; as a consequence the officers of the institution declined to receive him. Mr. Krisher, with his unfortunate charge, is expected to arrive in Ouray this afternoon. Johnson's mental condition will probably be inquired into before the county court, within a few days, with a view to placing him in the state insane asylum at Pueblo.

While in Steamboat Johnson had violent scenes with several local citizens who offended him by whistling, he apparently having an insane prejudice against that form of music.
Johnson, Frank
Colorado Transcript 11-15-1917 Had Record in Steamboat Anti-Whistling Fanatic also in Trouble in Routt County (Steamboat Pilot) On his recent trip to Golden, where he went to remove to Canon City Mrs. May Ray, who killed her husband two years ago at Oak Creek, Sheriff E. E. Clark was shown through the county jail by the sheriff of Jefferson county, Albert E. Jones. The first prisoner he saw was Frank Johnson, formerly a resident of Steamboat Springs and was employed on the sewer construction by James Collier. Johnson was taken into custody by the Golden authorities following a gun play in which he threatened a citizen of that town to death, the latter's offense being that he whistled. During the time that Johnson was here he had several altercations with men and boys about town, the trouble being started in every instance over whistling. He evidently suffered from some peculiar hallucination, being obsessed with a horror of shrill noises. On one occasion he bolted headlong and half shaved from a barber chair in the Lockhart shop when a selection containing a piccolo part was played on the phonograph. Several times he started quarrels with the persons waiting at the depot, cursing them for trying, as he insisted, to hoodoo him by whistling. On one occasion he threatened to shoot Byron Burgman and C. D. (Bud) Myers because they piped a few strains within his hearing, and he did draw a gun on one of the men employed with him on the sewer, for the same reason. He was not considered dangerous while here, although it is believed that he shot and killed a valuable mare belonging to McClelland Bros. in retaliation for having lost a donkey, which he insisted they had done away with. It could not be proven that he did the act, although the owners of the animal were certain he killed it. He left here last spring and had not been heard of since until Sheriff Clark met him in the Golden jail. He will be given a hearing before a lunacy commission and undoubtedly will be committed to the asylum for safe keeping, as during his last encounter on account of his peculiar malady he only escaped being killed from the fact that the man he threatened was unarmed. During his time here he kept a big dog constantly on guard at the door of his shack on Soda creek, and the dog would attack anyone that ventured near. Johnson made inquiries of Sheriff Clark regarding the animal, requesting that he be looked up and cared for.

Harris, took on a somewhat sensational turn today when the United States Fidelity and Guarantee company which furnished bond for a number of estates for which Harris acted as conservator placed the entire matter in the hands of Sheriff Gilbert for a complete investigation. There is talk of investigating the various estates with which Harris was connected, among them being the case of Ernest Johnson and the Frothingham-Anderson case of about three years ago. Herbert Johnson was adjudged insane and while confined in the asylum at Pueblo, Harris was appointed conservator. Those interested in the case were never satisfied with the final report and it is understood that a thorough investigation is to be made.

Glenwood Post 12-15-1899 Reason Dethroned John W. Johnson Declared Insane and Taken to Pueblo The inquiry into the sanity of John W. Johnson presented a sad and pitiable scene the like of which one does not often witness. A few weeks ago the relatives and friends observed evidences of the giving away of Mr. Johnson's mind. The mania became more and more pronounced until last Saturday, less than two weeks after the first evidences of dementia had made their appearance it was considered unwise to permit the unfortunate man longer to remain at large and he was confined in the county jail. An investigation was held in the county court last Monday at which time a jury very promptly pronounced Mr. Johnson insane and he was ordered taken to the insane asylum at Pueblo. The sight of a strong man who but a few days ago enjoyed his mental faculties now bereft of reason and completely undone was particularly lamentable and many were moved to tears during the progress of the hearing.

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 3-1-1895 Blood in Her Eye. Mrs. Dave Jones Goes Gunning for Her Daughter's Last Fellow. About 7:30 o'clock last evening, a number of persons in the vicinity of Fourth and Poplar streets were attracted by the sound of a pistol shot and the vision of a wild-eyed woman standing upon the corner, with a smoking revolver in her hand, warning the inquisitive ones, who valued their personal safety, to make themselves scarce. One man however, who possessed more courage than all the others put together, ran forward and grasped the infuriated female, but experienced some difficulty in disarming her. The police were summoned by telephone, and Captain Moore, upon promptly presenting himself, found that the woman was Mrs. David Jones, wife of ex-commissioner Jones, who is at present in the Pueblo insane asylum. Something else the captain found, not very creditable to the woman, was that she had a super-abundancy of corn juice on board, which had undoubtedly induced her to launch upon her gunning expedition. Captain Moore began an investigation of the premises where the shot was fired, and found that the woman had pushed the revolver through a front window of Frank Cole's residence, and had then pulled the trigger. The bullet, after passing through the window curtain, lodged in the wall beyond. Fortunately for Mrs. Jones no one was in the house at the time, or Coroner Nelson might have been called upon to hold an inquest. She was conducted to jail by Captain Moore, and stated that it had been her intention to kill Cole and that she would get him yet. She accused him of having influenced her daughter to leave home two weeks ago, and that Maud had lied to her about it. The hearing is set for this afternoon.

Eagle County Blade 1-8-1903 Mrs. Jones Insane For some time Mrs. Hannah Jones, of Bell's Camp, widow of the late John Jones, has been manifesting marked signs of derangement, and last week complaint was lodged against her in the County court charging insanity. On Wednesday she was arrested by Sheriff Farnum and on Friday tried before the County court. W. A. Maxfield, Mrs. W. A. Maxfield, George Sidnnor, Frank Gretmaker and Dr. Coffman were the witnesses, and from their statements there was no doubt of the mental condition of the accused. A jury composed of George Johns, J. W. Phillips, C. A. Scott, G. H. DaLee, F. H. Robinson and J. A. McDougal brought in a verdict of guilty. On Saturday Sheriff Farnum with Mrs. W. A. Maxfield as attendant conveyed the unfortunate woman to the asylum at Pueblo. Before reaching that city the patient became quite violent and was possessed of the hallucination that every one on the train was plotting to take her life.

She was placed in care of the police matron, when the small boy skipped out before anyone had taken his name. The woman gave the name of Jane Jones, but would answer no further questions, giving as an excuse that she could answer them only in Welsh. No one was found who understood that tongue, so she was not given a chance. The woman appeared to be about 40 years of age and was poorly dressed. Judging from her hands she was used to hard work. She remains in a quiet attitude and seems to be in a deep study. She will be examined by Dr. Clark, the county physician, this morning.

Two daughters grown to womanhood told of the insane doings of their mother and the jury found her insane. Her husband died two years ago and she had been queer ever since.

Jones, once of Louisiana, and now of El Paso county, may find himself incarcerated in the insane asylum at Pueblo if he persists in (the) threatening attitude he has assumed towards the judiciary and state officers in Arapahoe county, as Norman C. Jones could easily be declared non compos mentis by any jury. Some time ago he addressed a communication of forty-seven typewritten pages to Governor Adams, rehearsing the wrongs which had been inflicted upon him by the judiciary officers. Gov. Adams referred the matter to the attorney general, who returned them to the governor with the intimation that Jones was crazy or a crank. This aroused the ire of Mr. Jones and he immediately challenged General Carr to a duel, and threatens to horsewhip him on sight. In conversation this afternoon General Carr said he could not accept the challenge, as it was against the law, but if Mr. Jones attempted to horsewhip him he would not be allowed to accomplish it, as he would defend himself.

His condition was not considered serious and for several days he was allowed to run at large, and at Sunday evening's service at the Congregational church he created some excitement by his behavior. Monday he was taken to the Steamboat hospital for treatment. The authorities communicated with his wife, who resides in Denver, and at her request Dr. H. C. Dodge took the patient to his home next day.

Greeley Tribune 6-9-1898 Saturday afternoon, Ted Joyce the newsboy, got on a rampage and used language that would have shamed a denizen of Market street. Sunday morning under provocation he attacked a boy near the postoffice beating him severely; and chased another youngster with an open knife, threatening to cut his heart out. Marshal Camp arrested him and locked him up. Monday morning he was taken before Magistrate Willard and given twenty days in jail. For years, Ted has been the butt of every fool, man and boy, in Weld county. They have delighted in calling him across streets and up stair ways pretending to want a paper and all for the pleasure of displaying their cheap wit. This treatment has resulted in aggravating Ted until today he is a dangerous person to be at large and liable, while in a passion to do some one serious injury. What to do with him is a problem that is puzzling the marshal and magistrate.

Greeley Tribune 6-30-1898 Sent to Pueblo Asylum Poor Ted Joyce Adjudged to be of Unsound Mind Everyone in Weld county knows or has heard of Ted Joyce. For years he has been a familiar figure on the streets of Greeley as newsboy or bellman, announcing an Auction! Auction! or drawing citizens' attention to some public or social gathering. For years he has been an oddity, and being looked upon as harmless, he was made the butt of every boy and some men in the city. He took their banterings and jokes good naturedly, but as he grew older it became noticeable that his temper was changing. Instead of submitting to pranks as in the olden time he would fly into paroxysms of animal rage, using the foulest language and even threatening his tormentors with bodily injury. Within the past six months he grew morose and pettish, making his presence at home unbearable. About two months ago he was arrested for assaulting a boy with a knife and was sent to jail for twenty days. Since his release he became more demonstrative until his sister Mary, driven to extremes, sought the advice of several of the best citizens in Greeley as to the proper course to pursue. Besides she was becoming alarmed for her safety. She was advised to have him arrested and given a fair, impartial trial, so as to settle the question of his insanity, they signing the complaint. He was arrested, and Tuesday afternoon was tried in the County court before Judge Smith and a jury of six reputable citizens. He was adjudged to be of unsound mind and not a safe person to be at large. Judge Smith was loath to send him to Pueblo, thinking it possible to have him retained at a home for feeble minded persons. But this proved impracticable, as the state does not control such an institution and the expense of a private home was too great to impose on the poor fellow's relatives or on the county, so the judge sentenced him to the asylum at Pueblo. He also appointed C. D. Todd as conservator of the demented man's estate. It is hoped that a brief residence in the asylum, away from the noise and bustle of business and the jibes of thoughtless boys and fool men, may tend to restore the equilibrium of his mind.

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 1-30-1892 Refused to Go. Michael Joyce Would Rather Sleep Than go to Pueblo. Saturday morning about 5:30 o'clock when Jailer O'Keefe went in to awaken Michael Joyce, who was to be taken to Pueblo, he refused to get out of bed, saying he was satisfied where he was, Joyce persisted in refusing to get up and was finally forced into the corridor of the jail, and there refused to don his clothes, remarking that if he went to Pueblo he would go in his night clothes. He was then asked to go into the office, but would not move an inch and when force was used he caught hold of one of the iron bars of the cage and it took the efforts of three strong men to break his hold. Upon getting him into the jail office his clothes were put upon him by force and after being handcuffed he became peaceable and was quietly taken to the depot and started for his future home at Pueblo. Joyce is the miner who was sent to the asylum for the insane last June, but a few months later made his escape and returned to this city. Not long ago he appeared to be ill, and through the interposition of his friends he was admitted to the Sister's hospital. He had been there but a short time, however, when he displayed unmistakable symptoms of insanity and the officers were notified, when it was learned that he was the same man who had spent several months in the asylum. Sheriff Kennedy started twice before with Joyce for Pueblo, but the first time was over a block from the depot when the train pulled out and on the second occasion the train was several hours late and the trip was deferred.

Breckenridge Bulletin 5-26-1900 Found Insane On last Monday Mr. Gus Wallin of Kokomo came to Breckenridge with John Jungberg, who was thought to be suffering from a recent fall down a stairway, as his actions were those of a man suffering from mental aberration. Jungberg was placed in the county hospital, but did not remain long, as sometime in the evening, presumably after he had retired, and wandered around till about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning. At that hour he went to the residence of Mr. J. H. Ryan, whom he aroused, and who knowing his condition brought him to town and gave him in charge of Sheriff Detwiler, who placed him in the county jail, and on Thursday he was tried before a jury in the County court for lunacy and found insane. He will probably be taken to Pueblo to-day. Mr. Jungberg is a native of Sweden and about 60 years of age. He has lived in Summit county for about ten years past and is well known to the mining fraternity around Kokomo and Frisco. He has a wife and two children in Sweden and one son who lives at Saratoga, Colorado.

Telluride Daily Journal 11-18-1909 Inquest of Lunacy Held Before Judge Brown Last evening, before Judge Brown, was held an inquest of lunacy to determine the mental condition of William Junitila, against whom a complaint had been made. Juntilla is a native of Findland and came to Telluride about nine years ago, during that time he has worked in most of the mines of the camp and had always been a good workman and saved his money which he invested in Black Bear and Calumet-Telluride stock. About a year ago it was noticed that he became unsteady in his work and if sent to do something would probably work half a shift and then quit and go down the hill and when asked the reason for this he complained that he was being persecuted all the time so that he could not work, eat or sleep. Then he sold his mining shares and spent all his money in drinking and gambling and has lately been living as best he could. Yesterday morning Dr. M. T. Rothwell, county examiner of lunacy, with Charles Carlson as interpreter, made an examination and found that the man was suffering with dementia of the brain. His testimony to the jury also was corroborated by several witnesses. The man, though now harmless might at any time, while suffering from this delusion of persecution, become dangerous to the lives and property of the people around him. The jury was composed of Messrs. E. J. Carter, J. H. Adams, A. J. Goegline, E. H. Kracaw, E. D. McKown and Harry Miller, and the verdict rendered by them was to the effect that the man was mentally incapable of properly caring for himself and his property and that he was dangerous to the lives and property of others. The man will be taken to the institution which the state provides for such people and where, with proper care and treatment he will likely recover from his disarrangement.
