Routt County Sentinel 12-16-1921 Taken to State Hospital Sheriff C. W. Neiman left this morning for Pueblo, taking two patients, Mrs. Clark Lafon of Yampa and Joe Toth of Oak Creek, to the State hospital, as the result of a hearing by the Lunacy commission. Mr. Lafon accompanied his wife, as an attendant. Mrs. Lafon, who was formerly Miss Leona Souther, has been considered mentally unbalanced for some time, as has been the case with Mr. Toth, a native of Hungary who has been in the United States for 18 years, at least 10 of which have been spent at Oak Creek, where he owns several dwelling houses. His unfortunate condition is thought to have been caused by an accident which he sustained in a mine, a year or two ago.

It was shown that her reason was gone, and she will be taken to the state insane asylum. She claimed relationship with the family with whom she was staying, but it appeared that none existed, and that they had taken her in and were caring for her purely as an act of charity.

The jury found her to be demented, and she will be sent to Pueblo as soon as possible.

Aspen Democrat 8-30-1909 Sad Tragedy In Westcliff Home Old Man Becomes Temporarily Insane and Savagely Attacks His Daughter - Westcliffe, Aug. 30 - Walter Lambord was shot and probably fatally wounded by his son-in-law, Samuel Semral at the latter's house this morning. Lombard is a very old man and a veteran of the civil war. For the past year he has been making his home with his daughter, Mrs. Samral at her ranch home about three miles from this city. For the past two or three months the old man has been very quarrelsome and it is believed that at the time of the shooting he was temporarily insane. Early this morning Semrel left his home on a hunting expedition, leaving his wife and her father at home. At the time of Semral's departure the old gentleman seemed to be very happy and was joking with his son-in-law upon his departure. Finding no game Semral returned to his home to find his father-in-law beating his wife and fearing that he would kill his wife he grappled with the old man, who turned upon him with all the ferociousness of a maniac. The two men fought for several minutes when Semral finding that he was gradually losing his strength and that the old man seemingly becoming stronger, he, Semral, in self-defense grabbed up his shotgun with which he had been hunting and fired both barrels point blank at Lombard, who fell with a mortal wound thro his side. Mrs. Semral is still confined to her bed from the effects of the tussle with her father. No arrests have been made.

Leadville Evening Chronicle 8-30-1890 Supposedly Insane Pitiable Condition of a Shift Boss at the Lucy B. Hussey The sheriff's office was notified yesterday afternoon that there was an insane man creating something of a sensation in the vicinity of the Lucy B. Hussey shaft on East Fifth street. Deputies Horrigan and Curtin at once went to the scene and brought Ed. Lampshire down to the county jail, where he was placed in a cell. Lampshire seemed to be violently insane. It took four men to hold him, so desperately did he resist capture, and he appeared very much excited when being brought down town in the wagon. He is a young man, and has been employed as shift boss on the Lucy B. Hussey shaft. Yesterday morning the employes noticed that he was acting in a very peculiar way, and later began to get alarmed when he commenced to break in the windows of some cabins. They supposed he was intoxicated and sent word to the sheriff's office. Last night Lampshire became calmer, and relatives removed him to his residence, where, with proper care, it is hoped to eventually restore his mind.

Lapierre went down town to make arrangements for the burial of the child. While he was away Mrs. Lapierre who, according to her husband, is growing insane, took another child and went out for a walk, leaving the dead baby in the baby buggy and three other small children to look after it. While she was gone one of the neighbors went to the house and seeing the dead baby in the buggy notified the coroner. An investigation was made, and it was found that a Dr. Peterson had been attending the child and he said it died from cholera infantum. The dead baby was a twin, born nearly three months ago. It had been sickly since the day of its birth. Lapierre is a hard working carpenter, and is employed by Fleming Bros., builders, of South Denver.

She was confined in a ward on the first floor, and when the attendants were at supper she slipped out of the institution unobserved. This is the third time that Josie Lapier has escaped from the hospital. She is harmlessly insane and never does anything worse than run away. She is given plenty of freedom on account of the air being beneficial to her and her escapes are easy. She thinks she is being persecuted by relatives because she married a Frenchman, while she is of Irish descent. She is the mother of three children who are confined in an orphan asylum on the North Side. It is thought that she started to the asylum to see her children but the matron of that institution says she has not yet arrived there.

Lapin, Cecil
Durango Democrat 2-5-1904 He Flew the Coop Woodcroft Hospital, Pueblo, Colorado. Jos. O. Smith, Sheriff, Durango, Colo. My Dear Sir: - I beg to say that Cecil Lapin, concerning whom I wrote you about one month ago escaped from the place last evening and is still at large. He has been apparently well for two weeks, and we had him at work with the outdoor men and he walked off. We have a man looking for him, but as yet he has not located him. He, apparently, had no idea that he was wanted again in Durango, and I am inclined to think that an attack of insanity was returning, as his condition has seemed absolutely good for two or three weeks. He was a very insane man when committed here. His malady was of such a type that it yielded promptly to treatment. His mother's name is Mrs. S. R. Lapin Galena, Woods county, Oklahoma, and his sister, Mrs. Florence M. Corbin, of the same address. I think, without doubt, he will go to them, unless my man apprehends him before he leaves town. I did not know whether you still wanted him or not. I am sorry that he made his escape without the usual formalities of discharge, although his mental condition at the time of leaving was good. I am very truly yours, Hubert Work, Supt. [This is the insane man from the Piedra country. He was nutty, all right. Ed.]

LaPorte, Louis
Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 4-15-1893 La Porte Insane. A Case in Which Lead Poisoning is the Cause of Lunacy. Louis La Porte, who has been in the county jail for some days past troubled with mental unsoundness, was brought into the county court yesterday, and two doctors and a number of other witnesses described the weakness of his gray matter to a jury. La Porte, it seems, is a Frenchman, who comes of very good family, but after coming west has had rather hard luck. He worked down at the American smelter, and became leaded. He went to the Sister's hospital, and received treatment from Drs. Bosanko and D'Avignon. The peculiar effects of the lead on his system made themselves manifest recently, and resulted in an almost complete demoralization of the brain. The insanity manifested itself in a fixed idea that he was pursued night and day by a doctor with a huge knife, who was going to cut his throat. The apparition of the M.D. and the knife haunted the unfortunate man to such a degree that he attempted to climb out of jail; and succeeded in breaking the window and severely cutting his hand. Both Drs. Crook and D'Avignon examined the man, and were satisfied of his insanity, and that it was dangerous to permit him at large. They stated that lead poisoning was a prolific cause of insanity and this was especially true at this altitude. The only cure was a change of scene and complete rest. Several of La Porte's friends testified as to the mental condition of the man, and corroborated the statement of the doctors as to his mental hallucinations. The jury, composed of A. G. Thomson, J. H. Crocker, L. J. Neal, M. O. Sandallo, Harry Bicgroarty, and Pat O'Grady, decided that La Porte was crazy, and that he be sent to Pueblo.

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 7-12-1888 Adjudged Insane. Joe Love, who was arrested on Tuesday by under Sheriff Loomis was adjudged insane in the county court yesterday morning, the jury recommending that he be sent to the Pueblo insane asylum. The crowded condition of the Pueblo asylum, however, makes this impossible at present. A Frenchman named Laquerre, who is now confined in the county jail, was also adjudged insane last week, but could not be sent to Pueblo for the same reason. The two Lake county candidates for admission will therefore, have to remain in the county jail here, until a vacancy occurs.
Laquerre, Henry
Rocky Mountain News 9-7-1888 Leadville Lunatics Leadville, Colo., Sept. 6 Joe Love, a crazy negro who has been confined in the county jail for the past two months, was taken to Pueblo to-night, a telegram having been received stating that there was room for one more in the asylum, caused by a discharge. The crowded condition of the Pueblo asylum has been a source of great annoyance here, as several people have been adjudged insane in the county court yet could not be taken proper care of. Love labors under a religious hallucination, and has become so weak through almost constant praying and endeavoring to break the iron bars of his cell with his fists that his death is daily expected. A Frenchman named Laquerre, adjudged insane at the same time Love was, is being cared for at the county hospital until he can be sent to Pueblo. He has tried to strangle his keeper on several occasions, nearly succeeding once.

Larsdotter, Hilda
Colorado Transcript 3-17-1886 Hilda Larsdotter, a young Swede girl about 18 years of age, was examined before the County Court last week and sent to the asylum at Pueblo as an insane person. Deputy-Sheriff Cooper, who took her to Pueblo, says she was a holy terror to manage, it being as much as he cared to do to take care of her en route, although she was encased in a straight-jacket and her feet adorned with shackles. Geo. got her there all right, however, and returned home on Saturday.
Larsen, John
Rocky Mountain News 4-29-1891 Adjudged Insane Leadville, Colo., April 28 John Larsen was adjudged insane in the county court this afternoon, Judge Hall presiding. Larsen was for a number of years employed in the different smelters. Some time ago, he was leaded, and seemed to suffer a mental eclipse. In order not to give a premature decision in his case, it was decided to imprison him in the county jail for a while and await developments. Larsen was at no time violent and of late he has seemed to improve. After hearing all the evidence, however, and after an examination of the prisoner, the jury returned a verdict of insanity. He will be taken to Pueblo soon.

John Larsing, who has been employed at the smelters, took the grip last winter and has been in a bad mental state since. He has several epileptic fits a day and had one at the court house. His disease has affected his brain and makes him the dullest of dull persons, and he does not know what is going on. Being so irresponsible, he is not a safe person to be about, and the jury adjudged him insane.

Latham, W. S.
Fort Collins Courier 6-18-1885 W. S. Latham Adjudged Insane - The Courier has refrained from mentioning the sad case of lunacy in this vicinity for fear of causing undue excitement to the subject, and out of sympathy to his friends. Mr. W. S. Latham first came to Collins April 28th, this year, and since then has been stopping near Laporte with Mr. C. R. Salisbury whose wife is Mr. Latham's step-daughter. Mr. Latham is about forty years of age, and has been a very intelligent and active business man. For four years he was sheriff of Republican county, Kansas, from which place he came here. He was also a deputy U. S. marshal for some time. A severe sunstroke, received last August, unsettled his faculties, since which time he has been subject t fits of insanity. The story of his having hidden a large sum of money among the rocks in the foothills is true. The amount was $1,250, the larger part of which has been found. He was finally given an examination before probate court, Wednesday morning of this week, and was adjudged insane. Relatives in Ohio have been telegraphed and if they will become responsible for his safety and actions, Latham will be sent to them. Otherwise, he will be sent to Pueblo.

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

Eagle County Blade 6-15-1905 Adjudged Insane On last Friday Sheriff Henry took one John Laughlin into custody at Minturn, charged with insanity. Laughlin was brought to Red Cliff and arraigned in the County court under the charge Saturday morning. Dr. Arthur Monismith and other witnesses from Minturn testified as to the man's condition and the man himself was interrogated, all of which showed conclusively that Laughlin was mentally unsound. The unfortunate man has been employed as a railroad section man and a couple of weeks ago had a number of severe epileptic fits or spasms. At that time he was sent to the hospital at Salida and the epilepsy seems to have been checked but his mind is almost totally gone. On his person was found documentary evidence that he is a member in good standing of the Odd Fellows and of the Way Employees association. He could tell no connected story of his recent movements, and in fact did not know where he was and but very little else except his name. No definite trace of any relatives could be found and Sheriff Henry conveyed Laughlin to the asylum at Pueblo Saturday night.

Eagle County Blade 6-11-1908 A Pathetic Case. Cornelius Lawson, one of the old timers of the county, is in Red Cliff in custody of the sheriff. Some time since Mr. Lawson was placed in the poor farm. Lately the superintendent of the poor farm has had considerable trouble with him and the sheriff was called to take the patient into custody. Lawson was brought to Red Cliff last Saturday and A. E. Messersmith, of Gypsum, swore to a complaint in the county court charging him with lunacy. On Monday Mr. Lawson was tried and the jury found him so distracted in his mind as to be dangerous to himself and others and he was taken to the Woodcroft hospital at Pueblo. While not violent the old man is utterly incompetent to take care of himself. His mind appears to have completely failed and he is in weak physical health. This is a pathetic case. Mr. Lawson is one of the pioneers of the state and of this county. He has been in a humble way one of its upbuilders and was among the advance guard of the early prospectors and settlers. Many friends regret that his declining days should have to be spent in a public institution. The afflicted man was never married and no friends to whom he can go are known.

Rocky Mountain News 5-2-1893 Estate in a Tangle Mary A. Learned of New York Applies for an Accounting in Colorado After Various Escapades the Deceased Wound Up in an Insane Asylum The suit of Mary A. Learned against John W. Horner occupied a portion of the afternoon in Judge Allen's court yesterday. Mr. Horner has been the guardian ad litem, as he would be termed here, and the committee of lunacy as termed in New York, for James A. Learned, deceased. Mrs. Learned is seeking to secure an accounting and the question of the right of the Colorado court, which has jurisdiction of the case through the residence of the plaintiff, to call upon him for an accounting is under consideration. There is quite a story attached to the manner in which Learned's affairs have been tangled through his peculiarities. According to the report of Mr. Horner, which was read by his counsel under protest yesterday, Learned abandoned his wife, now his widow, and married a young woman without making the slightest effort to secure a divorce. When the second wife learned of the true condition of affairs she abandoned Learned. Then he committed a grave misdemeanor, in which a hotel chambermaid became the complainant. It was at this time that Mr. Horner, through the solicitation of Learned's brother, became the committee of lunacy and accepted the appointment from a Brooklyn court. Mr. Horner secured the incarceration of Learned in the Bloomingdale asylum upon giving his own bond for payment of $25 per week. He also gave a bond of $10,000 as the committee of lunacy. There are a great many items of expense indicated by Mr. Horner which are not recognized by the widow. The adjudication of matters will be brought up shortly and the tangle straightened out. Judge Allen continued the hearing yesterday and to-day.

Rocky Mountain News 7-11-1893 Allen Grows Weary His Honor Commits Attorney Homer to Jail for Not Reporting As Conservator of the Learned Estate Homer Fails to Make Accounting Four Extensions of Time Prove Too Much for the Patience of the Court Judge Allen reluctantly sent John W. Horner, the attorney, to jail yesterday. Horner will remain in jail until he gives security for payment of $5,200 which is due the estate of James H. Learned. Learned is a lunatic and now confined in an insane asylum. He belongs to a wealthy Brooklyn family. In early life he was brilliant, but erratic. He showed indications of aberration of mind when about 30 years of age and committed assaults on persons who were his near friends. He then disappeared and was discovered after some months absence through being arrested for violently assaulting a chambermaid in a secluded lodging house where he was hiding. His family then had him placed in the Flatbush asylum on Long Island. In two years he recovered entirely, was discharged, attended to his business with great industry, married and was amassing a fortune. Suddenly he went daft again, threatened his wife's life, and was again adjudged insane. He had acquired property in Colorado, which was placed in the keeping of Attorney Homer as conservator. From the proceeds of a sale of some of the realty $4,300 was realized. This sum has never been accounted for by the attorney, although it was three years ago that he received it. He has never attempted dissimulation about it, only pleading that the money became mixed with his own funds, and he had used it unwittingly. Some of the realty remaining in the estate, which aggregates in value fully $30,000, has been sold for taxes, and interest has been piling up at 15 to 25 per cent on the amounts. Six months ago Horner was commanded to pay the money into court. He has obtained since then no less than four extensions of time from Judge Allen. Yesterday he appeared in court, very apologetic, and asked for more time. The court was obliged to refuse and to order him committed until he could give security.

Denver Evening Post 11-17-1897 Obliteration of an Estate When the Lawyers and the Conservators Get Through With Him, Crazy James H. Larned Will Be a Pauper A trial was on today before District Judge Butler looking to the removal of James A. Jones as conservator of the James H. Larned estate on the ground that Jones is acting as such illegally. Jones is being sued to return $2,400 to the estate, which sum it is claimed he has taken for himself as compensation for managing the estate, but which is far in excess of reasonable compensation, even if he were legally entitled to it. The case was down on the docket board as No. 8,799, a fact testifying to its age, the cases up to date being over 26,000. It was begun in 1883, when the owner of the estate, James H. Larned, was adjudged insane in the county court. He was at that time possessed of a large amount of real estate, estimated to be worth $150,000, and a conservator was appointed who took charge until 1887. In that year Larned applied to the county court to be adjudged sane, and the matter going to a jury he was so adjudged. He was put in charge of his property in February, 1887, and on March 24 he made a deed in trust to John W. Horner of all of it for the purpose of paying his debts. But, as it happened, no provision had been made in the deed for the maintenance of Mrs. Larned, his wife, and she applied to the county court for an order giving her a share of the income of the estate for her support. In the meantime Larned had left Colorado and taken up his residence in New York, where he got into a very serious scrape which nearly terminated in his going to the penitentiary. His brother, Charles H. Larned, saved him by having him adjudged a lunatic by the city court of Brooklyn. Henry Sanger Snow was then appointed a committee to take charge of the person and estate of Larned and he appointed ex-Judge Gilmore of this city to look out for the interests of the estate in Denver. He appeared here for the estate in the suit against it by Mrs. Larned and was also appointed guardian ad litem. Thereupon J. W. Horner applied to the court for permission to sell lands under the provisions of the deed in trust, and as the result of extensive and expensive litigation which followed, the court adjudged that five-ninths of the proceeds from the contemplated sale of the real estate and the income of the total should be applied to the support of the lunatic, and that four-ninths should be applied to the support of Mrs. Larned. Horner sold a portion of the real estate amounting to $15,000, collected the rents, paid off all the debts and had some money left. He divided the proceeds according to the arrangements of the court until 1892, when he was arrested on the charge of being short in his accounts some $5,000. He was prosecuted by Bennett & Bennett, but was discharged. Horner then resigned and Mrs. Larned was appointed trustee. She continued to act as such until July 16, this year, when she died in Connecticut, where she had been living. James A. Jones, a brother-in-law, then applied to be appointed trustee, and the appointment was made. He has collected, it is claimed, $4,800 of the rents of the estate, all of which he paid out except $2,400, which he has kept for himself as a payment for his services to the estate. It is now claimed before Judge Butler that all the estate and the trusteeship merged into the possession of the insane man, who is still alive, when Mrs. Larned died, and that therefore Jones' appointment was illegal and void, and that, furthermore, he should return the $2,400 to the estate as being too large a fee, amounting, as it does, to 50 per cent of the collections. The estate in Denver at the present time consists of fourteen tenements, seven on Twentieth street, six on Lawrence street and one in West Denver.

Denver Evening Post 1-13-1899 An Insane Man's Estate Permission Given the Conservator to Raise Money A decree was handed down by Judge Steele in the county court this morning authorizing James J. Jones, conservator of the estate of James H. Larned, lunatic, to mortgage certain real property of the estate for $17,000. The money is to be raised to pay off indebtedness of the estate and to relieve a piece of property of an encumbrance of $10,500 in order that it may be platted. The property that is to be platted is a 10-acre tract near Valverde. It is proposed to raise this incumbrance and also defray certain expenses of the estate amounting in all to $16,194, by raising a loan of $17,000 at 8 per cent on certain other property, valued at $34,000. The lots which are to be mortgaged for $17,000 are lots 25, 26, 27, 28 and the northerly fifteen and one-half feet of lot 24, block 64, and lots 29, 30, 31, 32, in block 65, all in East Denver. The decree is to be carried out in ninety days. Larned is at present confined in the refuge for the insane in Hartford, Conn., and part of the money to be raised is to pay his bill at the asylum, $3,500; also the expenses of his wife's funeral, etc. Larned's brother, his only heir, was notified as correspondent, but did not appear.

Denver Evening Post 2-16-1899 The Learned Estate Colorado Conservator Removed by Judge Palmer Judge Palmer, of the district court, today removed James H. Jones as conservator of the estate of James H. Learned, according to the petition as prayed for by those interested in the estate. Jones was appointed by County Judge Steele several years ago, but the appointment was contested by a conservator appointed in New York, who claimed that the county judge was without jurisdiction. Judge Steele said he had jurisdiction, and appeal was taken to the district court, where Judge Steele was today reversed. Appeal was taken to the court of appeals. The Learned estate is a large estate, in Denver, consisting in the main of Eighteenth street real estate. It was once worth $200,000, but is now said to be only $34,000 in value. It belongs to James H. Learned, who is a lunatic, now in a Connecticut asylum. Considerable trouble has been experienced with the conservators and administrators of the estate since they were appointed, back in the '80s, and it is said that it is due to their management that the value of the estate has dwindled so greatly.

Denver Evening Post 11-7-1899 Property of Insane Man R. H. Gilmore, conservator of the estate of James H. Learned, who is in a hospital for the insane in the East, has commenced suit in the district court against the county treasurer and Nellie Mitchell. Lots 29 and 32 in block 65, East Denver, have belonged to the estate, and have been acquired by Nellie Mitchell in tax sales. The conservator declared that the illegal title of Nellie Mitchell is not permanent, as the law asserts that the property of an insane man can be redeemed by him or his conservator at any time. He wants the land back, and as the demand has been refused him he brings suit in the courts.

Denver Evening Post 12-29-1899 Quarrel of Conservators Gilbert W. Chapin, conservator of the estate of James H. Leonard, has brought suit in the United States circuit court against James A. Jones of Denver to compel him to give an accounting of certain rentals. Leonard is insane and is confined in an asylum in Hartford, Conn. Chapin was appointed conservator by the probate court of that county. Leonard owned property in Denver, and Jones was appointed conservator of the Colorado estate by the Arapahoe county court. The relatives of the insane man contested Jones' appointment and the supreme court upheld their objections ruling that Chapin had prior power. Now Chapin calls Jones to account and he alleges that Jones found $5,000 in debts against the estate which he allowed to grow to $17,000. It is also charged that he paid no taxes and allowed some of it to be sold at treasurer's sale, three successive years, and collected $13,000.

Rocky Mountain News 2-26-1883 Larned Missing He is Supposed to Have Again Become Deranged in Mind The police were notified last night of the disappearance of an insane man named J. H. Larned who escaped from his keeper Saturday afternoon and has not since been heard from. Larned is well known in Denver as he represented several large publishing firms here for many years. He also sold books in Cheyenne and Laramie City, Wyo. About two years ago Larned became very enthusiastic over religion, and his mind left him. He was removed to an eastern asylum, where he remained until last December, when it was thought that a permanent care had been effected. He was taken back to this city, but immediately his mind began to wander again. His old religious enthusiasm returned, and he conceived the idea that the women on Holladay street would have to be reformed. He accordingly began a solitary crusade in that direction, but met with injury and insult. He was arrested and placed under guard in a hospital. From there he was removed to his home at No. 345 Seventh street, where a man was employed to guard him day and night. Last week arrangements were made to send him to California in charge of a guard, and when Larned heard of it he became very eager to break through his restraint. About 4 o'clock Saturday evening his guard, a man named Gibson, went to sleep, and Larned escaped. He was last seen on West Larimer tearing his whiskers and making a great noise. Yesterday he attempted to hold up men near the Rio Grande shops. The police are looking for him as they fear he might harm himself.

Rocky Mountain News 5-23-1883 Learned Found Insane The case of the People vs. James H. Learned, an action brought by the wife of the defendant to ascertain the fact of his insanity and have a conservator appointed for his person and property, was on trial nearly all day yesterday and resulted in a verdict of insanty. The evidence showed conclusively that whilst he seemed to be sane on ordinary subjects, he was raving mad upon others, notably upon the subject of religion, imagining himself to be the coming religious ruler of the earth. The testimony of medical experts all went to show conclusively his unsoundness of mind. Mr. Learned, who is reputed to be worth about $100,000, chiefly in real estate in Denver, is about 42 years of age. He came to this city in 1873 and accumulated his wealth by shrewd business habits as a book and real estate agent. Some three years ago he went east on a visit and was taken very ill. Upon his recovery it was discovered that whilst his physical health was restored his mind was diseased. Some time ago he wandered from home and was found in California. He yesterday complained bitterly of being locked up in a cell as he was an honest man and never harmed any one.

Rocky Mountain News 2-20-1886 Learned Liberated James Learned Declared Restored to Reason A Man's Gallant Fight to Prove Himself Sane James Learned has been pronounced sane by the County court after a trial of six days. The case was a rather curious one, it illustrates a man's successful fight for his own liberty. Mr. Learned was originally a book agent and by tact and shrewdness in this and other directions accumulated considerable property in money, bank, stocks, real estate, etc. His earthly possessions are said to amount to between $60,000 and $100,000. Some two years ago or more Learned was tried in the County court for insanity and was pronounced insane. He was sent to a retreat in Danville, N. Y., by his wife, in whose charge he had been placed. He was afterwards removed to an asylum at Canandaigua, N. Y., but afterwards secured his liberty. It is claimed by some that his incarceration in the asylum was a scheme of his relatives to get control of his property. At all events Mr. Learned was determined that he should not rest under the stigma of being a crazy man, and he has made a hard fight in the courts to get his property out of the hands of conservators and to get himself declared sane or restored to reason. In these efforts he has been successful and he is now in Denver laughing at those who doubted his being the sanest man in the world. At Learned's trial in the court where he was first declared insane, there was considerable difference of opinion as to his sanity. Some people believed that he was as mad as a March hare, while others believed that he was simply cranky on certain subjects. His great hobbies were poetry and religion. Some of his poetry was published a few months ago in pamphlet form and was extensively circulated by the author. Religion, however, is said to have been his greatest hold, but it is of course a question whether an addiction to poetry and to notions on religion which seem strange to other people constitute lunacy. Mr. Learned seems now to have satisfied a court that it does not. He has certainly made a gallant fight for his liberty, and a man ought to have considerable sanity to go through the amount of litigation that he has gone through in the past few years. It is generally thought that he is perfectly able to take care of his property, and he certainly had brains enough to accumulate an abundance of it.

Rocky Mountain News 10-5-1888 The Learned Estate Again Application of Mrs. Learned for an Allowance The estate of James H. Learned, a lunatic, has been a fruitful source of litigation for years past. It has been before the Denver courts off and on for some eight years, and still promises a bountiful harvest to the lawyers for some time to come. The matter came up again yesterday on petition by Mrs. Mary H. Learned for an allowance out of the estate. The position of affairs at the present time is as follows: Mr. Learned, after having been declared a lunatic, was in 1886 adjudged capable of managing his affairs and at that time conveyed all his property, valued by appraisers appointed by the court at $100,000, to John W. Horner in trust to be sold to pay his debts and make provision for his own support. The property was, however, in such a condition that it could not be easily realized upon except to an extent which met the payment of interest on indebtedness. Soon after the conveyance Mr. Learned went to New York and contracted a second marriage whilst his wife was still alive. His brother and other friends then instituted proceedings in Brooklyn, N. Y., whereby he was again declared insane, placed in an asylum and a conservator of his estate appointed. Conceiving that legal difficulties might arise, Mr. Horner did not dispose of the property and it has since remained in status quo. Mrs. Learned yesterday claimed an allowance and requested that a trustee be appointed by the court to sell enough of the property to pay off the debts and make provision for maintenance of Mr. Learned and herself. The court ordered that sufficient property be sold to provide for the above purposes, and Mr. Horner was authorized to receive bids for any parcels of land belonging to the estate either in cash or half cash and the balance at 8 per cent. The estate for the most part consists of real estate in Denver. Mr. W. B. Mills appeared for the plaintiff and R. H. Gilmore for the conservator and also as guardian ad litem for the lunatic. Judge J. P. Marsh represented the conservator in New York.

Rocky Mountain News 6-13-1886 Learned's Loves A Mania for Matrimony and Assault and Battery Strangely Manifested James H. Learned, a Former Colorado Man, Gets Into Fresh Trouble His Recent Release From an Insane Asylum and His Singular Career A case which has become a rather celebrated one in the Colorado courts has lately been newly illustrated in the courts of the East. It is some two or three years since James Learned was declared sane in the County court in this county, and was released from custody. He had been in the asylum two years or more in the East, but had been declared insane in the courts here in Denver. Learned had been a book agent and a very successful one. He had amassed considerable money and property in this way and in speculation, and was thought to have brains enough to make considerable money and take care of it. His fight for liberty after he was declared insane was an interesting one. He claimed that there was a conspiracy in which the conservator had joined to get him declared insane, in order to get control of the property. After a great deal of litigation he succeeded in obtaining his liberty, as has been stated. This was in March last. After this decision of a jury he went East, and Denver people had lost track of him till recently, when it has been learned that his pranks have got him into trouble in New York. Last spring he went to Brooklyn, New York, and hired a brick dwelling at 65 Garfield place. His wife, it seems, had resided in a fine house purchased for her by Learned. She had lived there during the years that he was an inmate of an asylum, but on his release he does not appear to have gone back to her, evidently thinking that she was in the conspiracy which he claimed had been formed against him. After he went to reside at Garfield place he advertised for a housekeeper. In answer to this advertisement Miss Sarah Ann Maylin, who had recently arrived in New York from England, presented herself and was engaged for the position. Shortly after this Learned fell in love with her and asked her to become his wife. She consented and they were married. He told Miss Maylin that he had been married, but had obtained a legal divorce. This is said to be untrue, and the first Mrs. Learned now threatens, it is said, to bring charges of bigamy. After his recent marriage to Miss Maylin he purchased the house in which he lived and presented it to the new Mrs. Learned. After a fortnight of married life Learned, it is said, gave his wife a terrible beating. For a day or two she kept out of his way, thinking it might not occur again. One afternoon, during his wife's absence, he assaulted his servant girl, Bridget Cusick, and when his wife came back he assaulted her again and beat her nearly to death. Mrs. Learned then went to her sister's and got the servant to make a complaint against Learned for assault. He was brought before Justice Walsh on June 9 for this assault, and was held for trial. Learned is a rather old man and is evidently as crazy as he used to be. He was greatly addicted to poetry and to wild religious notions while in Denver, but the more violent phases of his mania seemed to have developed since he went East. As he has considerable money and a great deal of grit and perseverance, he will probably make strong efforts to escape both the asylum and the penitentiary.

Rocky Mountain News 6-19-1886 A Mad Marriage How Learned, the Insane Denver Book Agent, Became a Bigamist in the City of Brooklyn He Marries One Day and the Next Beats the Bride in a Most Shocking Manner, Knocking Her Out He Then Makes Love to the Hired Girl, Who Resents His Advances and Causes His Arrest A Further Effort to be Made to Secure Him in an Insane Asylum by His Friends and Family He Appears to be Well Supplied with Funds and to Live in a Costly Manner The adventures of the poet-book agent, J. H. Learned, in the East are getting to be on a startling and sensational nature. Everybody in Denver is familiar with the litigation attending the several attempts made to secure control of his property, to prevent him from squandering it and to place him in an asylum where he could be cared for properly. At times efforts have been made, and with considerable success, to create sympathy for Learned in the community by the pretense that the efforts made to place him in an asylum were for the purpose of robbing him of his property. What added greatly to the force of these charges was the peculiar nature of the malady with which he is evidently afflicted, which enables him to appear perfectly sane at times and to control himself whenever there is anything to be gained by remaining in his proper senses. When in court he is able to act in a manner well calculated to deceive. His recent actions in the East go to show that his insanity affects him only in private and that his general line of action is such that a sane woman who knew him well could be induced to marry him. A graphic account of his Eastern exploits is given in the Brooklyn Union of a recent date, from which it will be seen that Learned has not changed much as the result of his removal to nearer the sea level. It is as follows: Justice Walsh had a case to-day with incidents enough in it to make a 400-page novel. There is a wealthy Westerner as the chief figure, who was confined in an asylum, was released as cured; came East; hired a servant who had just come from Ireland; fell in love with and married her, thereby committing bigamy, as he had a wife out West; hired another servant and fell in love with her; then abused the wife (?) and finally wound up in a public court on a charge of unbecoming conduct toward the servant. James Hanson Learned in the man. He is about 45, with black hair and close-cropped black beard. His complexion is sallow and his face emaciated. Detective Reynolds took him to Justice Walsh's court this morning, and he sat on the prisoner's bench vacantly gazing around the room. He had no lawyer in court, but General I. S. Catlin is said to be his counsel and will defend him. Learned pleaded not guilty when arraigned. The examination was set down for next Monday afternoon. Justice Walsh asked $200 bail, which will probably be furnished, so Learned is not likely to languish in jail until trial day. Learned has $125,000 worth of property in Denver, Colo., consisting of real estate. He lived in the West a good many years and accumulated the property. He married and lived in Colorado and had no children. Several years ago he seemed to have become somewhat deranged, but was not violent and was not deprived of his liberty. Later his condition became worse, and his wife had him put in an insane asylum. He remained there until April last, when he was discharged as cured. While he was in the asylum legal measures were taken to have his property cared for. When Learned was released from the asylum he came East, telling no one save his lawyer that he was coming to Brooklyn. Since he has been here he has received remittances from his counsel, amounting, it is said, to nearly $200 a month. About the time Learned came to Brooklyn, Sarah Ann Maylin arrived here from Ireland. She is the sister of the wife of Frederick Kemp, the blind janitor of the Atlantic Avenue dispensary. Mrs. Kemp several months ago had a Greenwood gravedigger named McGarrahan arrested for attempting to kiss her. When Sarah Ann Maylin came here she went to live with Mrs. Kemp and advertised for a place as a servant. Learned answered the advertisement. He had previously hired the brick dwelling at 65 Garfield place. He hired the Maylin woman and then bought the house, paying $1,500 in cash, and giving a mortgage for $8,500, the purchase price being $5,000. Learned and his servant lived alone in the house, and he fell in love with her. He proposed marriage, but as he had spoken previously about his wife in Denver, she hesitated. He told her he had been legally separated from his wife, and was at liberty to marry. She consented, and two weeks ago he took her to the residence of Rev. George R. Van De Water, pastor of St. Luke's P. E. church, where they were married. Learned's present to his bride was the deed of the house. Directly after the marriage it was decided that some one else than Mrs. Learned should do the housework, and another servant was advertised for. Bridget Cusick got the place. She seemed to have charms that fascinated Learned, and he could find no better way of making that fact plain than by abusing his wife. It was only a couple of days after the marriage that he beat her, and last Sunday night he chased her through the house and struck her so many times that, bleeding and bruised, she ran out of the house and went to Mrs. Kemp's. There was absolutely no cause for the assault, as not an angry word had passed between them previous to the time he struck her. Mrs. Learned went to a physician for treatment and told him her story. He told her she ought to consult a lawyer, and Counsellor Thomas J. Malloy was called in. Mrs. Learned told him all she knew about her husband, and Mr. Malloy, by communicating with the first wife in Denver, learned that there had been no separation between her and her husband, and also that he had been in an insane asylum. It was intended to have Learned arrested for assaulting his wife, but while the matter was being talked over, the servant, Bridget Cusick, told how Learned, June 1, while his wife was absent, acted improperly in her presence in the kitchen. Then it was decided to have him arrested for that offense and yesterday a warrant was sworn out by the servant before Judge Walsh. It was given to Detectives Reynolds and Curran, who were told that Learned was violent, so they took their revolvers along. They found him lying on a lounge in the dining room and reading a newspaper. He was quiet and made no objection to accompany them to the Bergen street police station. The first wife has been sent for, and is expected in Brooklyn next Monday so she can testify against her husband, as a charge of bigamy may be made. There is a difference of opinion, however, as to whether he should be made to answer a criminal charge or be sent to an asylum, as he is doubtless suffering from mental aberration, and is likely at any time to become violent.

Aspen Daily Leader 10-28-1892 Lee Is So Foolish He Is as Crazy as the Historical Bed Bug Six of His Fellow Men Say So The Queer Hallucinations of a Reason Dethroned Individual Who Says He Has Not Slept for Six Months A man took the witness stand in the county court yesterday afternoon and loudly affirmed that he had not had a wink of sleep for six months, and promised that if he was accorded his freedom he would make straight for a drug store and procure something that would bring required repose. The name given by this remarkable sufferer from insomnia, a cracked brain and disordered mind, was Edmund R. Lee, and he was being tried by a jury of six of his fellow men as to his mental condition. The county authorities had alleged that he was insane, and the actions of the man on the witness stand and his general demeanor ever since he has been a charge on Deputy Sheriff Dwyer for the last few weeks indicated that no mistake had been made in the allegations. Lee is, according to his own statements, 45 years of age, and was born in Michigan. He has resided in Aspen for the past three years, and during that time conducted a restaurant, sold sewing machines for the Singer company and claims to own an interest in a ranch on Wild Cat creek, but the latter claim is understood to be a myth as is more of his hallucinations concerning $130,000 which he says he has a half interest in, while the other half is held by a sister living in Kingston, Ontario, who he represents sends him $1,000 a week and more if his needs require a larger amount. These financial representations, however, were considerably shattered during the course of the investigation by the submitting of letters from the sister to the feeble minded man. She accused him of being worthless and a heavy drinker, and held his tippling inclinations responsible for his wreckage mentally, physically and financially. In this letter she contributed $5 for his temporary relief and forwarded a new jag cure receipt, which she hoped he would try. There was a postscript from the husband of the sister in which he took occasion to roast the imbecile without restraint, and told him he should be ashamed to live from the bounty and charity of the sister, who would not send him any more money. Throughout the letter admonished Lee to reform and rejoin his wife and family: It is untruthful, I have no wife and never had a family, he would interrupt in a loud tone of voice. Another reference was made to a daughter who had married a druggist in Omaha, to which the man said: There goes another falsehood. I never had a wife or a child, and when they say I had one in Omaha they lie. All attempts to make Lee acknowledge that he was ever married or had a wife proved fruitless, and he amused the spectators by asserting that he had been put in jail to exercise and nurse the lunatic Fitzgerald, who he described as a thief, brute and loafer. He charged Fitzgerald with stealing his tobacco, towels and handkerchiefs and last but not least the shoe strings from his shoes. From the graphic description furnished by Lee his life in jail has been an eventful and exciting one, it being charged that on one occasion he attempted to take his own life by swallowing a quantity of liniment. His life was spared only by prompt action upon the part of the jail attaches. The jury after a short deliberation adjudged Lee insane, and he was remanded back to jail by the court until such time as the authorities of the state asylum for the insane at Pueblo, where the patient will be sent, can be communicated with, as it is understood the institution is overcrowded. And must I go to the asylum, eagerly asked Lee when judgment was pronounced by Judge England. For a little while, kindly answered the judge. For how long? queried Lee. Until the doctors tell me that you are in a condition to be dismissed. Thank God, fervently responded the reason dethroned individual as he left the court room in charge of Deputy Sheriff Dwyer.

Aspen Daily Leader 11-15-1892 Our Pitkin Insane Should Be Sent to Some Proper Institution County Commissioner Can Send Them to Eastern Asylums and the County Must Pay the Bill So Says Judge Rucker The sheriff's force is at present entertaining a large-sized kick against the further retention of the insane inmates of the county jail and the conservators of the law are vehement in their demand that the county commissioners do something to abate the intolerable nuisance resulting from the keeping of such persons in a place where no adequate provisions have been made for their care or treatment. There are at present two such unfortunates confined in the county jail, viz.: Charles Fitzgerald and E. R. Lee, and it would seem that the cause of humanity would be subserved by their removal to some asylum where could be found the necessary facilities for the proper treatment of the mentally afflicted. Certain it is that such facilities do not exist in the Pitkin county jail. When an inquest found as to the insanity of these two men and they were ordered committed to the asylum the county authorities were informed that the state asylum for the insane was overcrowded and that no more patients could be received. Thereupon the commissioners left the unfortunates in the care of the sheriff. Mr. Stewart and his deputies did the best they could with the means at their command, but they find it impossible to enforce the cleanliness so essential to the health and well being of the unfortunates. Judge Rucker is of the opinion that no necessity exists for the retention of these insane persons in the county jail as the law clearly authorizes the commissioners to send the insane of the county to any regular asylum for the insane. He claims that when the state asylum at Pueblo is unable to receive patients, the commissioners are fully justified in sending them to the nearest institution that is prepared to receive and care for them. Other counties so dispose of their insane and the sheriff's force is wondering why Pitkin county should be any exception to the rule. In justice to these two unfortunate men and to the sheriff the commissioners should arrange with some outside asylum for the care of Pitkin county's insane. In the light of Judge Rucker's opinion and the practice of other counties of the state, our commissioners should not hesitate because of consideration of economy. We are satisfied that there is not a citizen of Pitkin county who will grumble at the expense incurred should the commissioners do what they are clearly entitled to do under the law, send the insane persons now in the county jail to an institution for the treatment of the insane in some neighboring state.
Lee, Edmund R.
Aspen Daily Leader 11-27-1892 Local Mention The new board of county commissioners will convene to-morrow, and will proceed to look over the ground to find out whereabouts they are at. It is said that one of the first things which will be done at the session will be to take steps for the immediate removal of the insane now confined in the county jail to an asylum where they can receive proper treatment. It is earnestly to be hoped that this report is well founded and that these unfortunates may soon be taken from their present quarters.

Aspen Daily Leader 12-1-1892 Laconic Locals Reporter's Round Up of the Day's News The insane men, Fitzgerald and Lee, when taken out of the cage at the county jail, preparatory to their removal to the asylum at Jacksonville, Ills., were almost frantic in their expressions of delight at once more seeing the sunlight. Poor Lee had become so weakened by confinement that he could scarcely stand. Fitzgerald seems to have grown somewhat better and his total recovery to reason is confidently looked for within the next two months. Sheriff Stewart apprehended no trouble in making the removal.

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
Patients Taken From the Hospital Superintendent Clark of the institution, would have had five more patients under his care had it not been for the kindness of friends and relatives of several patients who suffered from milder forms of insanity. These five patients were committed to the hospital in the regular manner but were taken away from the hospital by friends because of the poor accommodation. They are Johanna Olson, Jennie Le Fevre, Louisa Olson, Willie Wade and Rosa Wandfluh. About ten days ago they were released, friends calling for them at different times. These patients can be again taken in by the hospital without the formality of commitment. Mr. Clark is careful to keep, and has done so for years, a record of the cost of each patient during his incarceration between the time he is adjudged insane by a court and committed in regular form to the state asylum. The county commissioners make no effort to collect this money and it is constantly being sunk into this bottomless legislative hole

Denver Evening Post 10-11-1894 Antics of an Insane Woman Mrs. Charles Lefevre Creates a Panic at No. 3 La Veta Place Mrs. Charles Lefevre is a dimunitive, demure woman of 40, of fragile build, but for hours last night it required the combined efforts of Police Matrons Dwyer and Princke to control her. A week ago Mrs. Lefevre and her two tow-headed little boys of 5 and 7 engaged a room at No. 3 La Veta Place. Early last evening the woman became violently demented. Hurrying to the bathroom she completely disrobed and proceeded to enliven the neighborhood with a series of Apache yells. It finally became necessary to arrest her. At police headquarters the unfortunate woman continued her uncanny conduct. All attempts to quiet her only increased her fury. When given bromide she would spit it out and attempt to strike those attending her. All night long she continued her ravings, constantly repeating the expression, Not in 1,000 years, my love, my love. This morning she became rational, but could remember nothing that had transpired. Mrs. Lefevre's husband is an oil well digger at New Castle, Wyoming. She has not seen him since last February.

At noon the unfortunate woman's actions became so violent that the assistance of an officer was necessary. She was removed to a cell where she continued her insane ravings. Mrs. Lefevre will be taken to the county hospital.

Denver Evening Post 12-6-1894 Mrs. Lefevre's Escape An Insane Patient Runs Away From the County Hospital Her History Mrs. Ida Lefevre, an insane patient at the county hospital, eluded the vigilance of the officials of that institution early this morning and escaped. The woman was one of a party of demented females who were eating an early breakfast. At the conclusion of the meal Mrs. Lefevre, instead of returning to the insane ward, cunningly awaited an opportunity to escape. During a moment when the dining room was deserted she hurriedly departed. Her disappearance was not discovered until fully an hour later, when the police were at once notified. The fugitive is subject to violent paroxysms of insanity when she is a decidedly dangerous person to handle. About six weeks ago Mrs. Lefevre created a panic among the high-toned occupants of a La Veta place boarding house. After a series of yells and cries, which would make a cemetery nervous, the demented woman disrobed and ran through the hallways clad only in the attire of a Lady Godiva, except that her steed was the stair banister. When brought to the city jail Mrs. Lefevre continued her wild raving and cherished a mania to caress every one, believing her arms were encircling a real live man, the object of her love. The unfortunate woman's condition is due simply to her blind belief in the doctrines of a certain Christian Science fakir, whose teachings have completely rattled a brain, never very intelligent.

Denver Evening Post 11-16-1895 Attacked the Matron Desperate Struggle With a Lunatic in the City Jail Mrs. Le Fevre Makes a Desperate Attempt to Kill Matron Lavelle and But For the Timely Arrival of the Jailer She Might Have Succeeded The timely and hasty arrival of City Jailer Hobart averted a tragedy in the woman's department of the city jail last evening. For a few moments the safety of Police Matron Lavelle was in extreme peril, as helpless and alone she struggled in the maddened grasp of a woman a desperate lunatic, who made a frantic attempt to kill her. The assailant of Mrs. Lavelle was Mrs. Charles Le Fevre, a lunatic who recently escaped from the insane asylum at Pueblo. Yesterday the demented creature was found wandering around the streets of La Junta. She was cared for and sent to Denver on a Santa Fe train. En route she at intervals frightened the passengers and almost succeeded in escaping from the train. The lunatic was conveyed from the union depot to police headquarters by Surgeon Jarecki, and placed in charge of Police Matron Lavelle. Scarcely had Mrs. Le Fevre been locked up ere the most awful racket was heard in the woman's department. Midst the most piercing screams the crashing of glass was heard. Fearing her prisoner would harm herself, Matron Lavelle, after first summoning Jailer Hobart by pushing an electric button, hurried to secure the demented woman. There was another tremendous crash of breaking glass, followed by frenzied ravings of the woman ere Mrs. Lavelle could reach her. Realizing the dangerous condition of the prisoner, before entering the room where she was, the matron again summoned the assistance of the jailer. She then walked boldly in and confronted the frenzied creature. Almost immediately a desperate struggle ensued. With the agility of a wildcat Mrs. Lefevre jumped upon the matron. Wildly screaming, I will execute you! I will kill you! the lunatic grasped the frightened matron. She caught her around the neck, and while attempting to choke her, with wide-extended mouth viciously sought to lacerate the matron's face. Mrs. Lavelle, who is a plucky woman, wasted no time in shrieking or crying, but maintained her head and devoted all her energies to preventing the crazy woman from killing her. Like a demon her assailant pressed her. Around the room the two women struggled and fought, and a victory for the maddened lunatic was alone averted by the sudden appearance of the excited jailer. Perceiving the matron's danger he quickly came to her rescue. Cheated of her victim, Mrs. Lefevre exerted every effort to injure him, but his superior strength subdued her. When Matron Lavelle had partially recovered from her fright she pluckily assisted Jailer Hobart in removing the prisoner to an iron cell below. Here her ravings continued all night. This morning Mrs. Lefevre was removed to the county hospital. Several times has Mrs. Lefevre been locked up on a charge of insanity. While regarded as dangerous at intervals, she never before exhibited such savage conduct. The woman first came into prominence nearly two years ago. She was then residing in a boarding house in La Veta place. One night suddenly she lost her reason, and after terrorizing the occupants of the house she ran shrieking into the street. She was arrested on Sixteenth street in almost a nude condition. The woman's reason is completely shattered. Her misfortune is attributable to the loss of her children who are in the custody of her divorced husband.

Rocky Mountain News 11-16-1895 Seized the News Stand A Demented Woman Imagines She Owns the Depot Mrs. Le Fevre, a demented woman, who periodically visits the city and who has at various times been an inmate of the county hospital and insane asylum, arrived yesterday afternoon from La Junta. As soon as she got off the train at the union depot she imagined that she was proprietress of the establishment and proceeded to help herself to the articles displayed at the news stand. The police surgeon was telephoned for and the woman was taken to the matron's department. Here she broke a large pane of glass in the door leading from her cell to the corridor, and it was then necessary to confine her in the female ward of the jail.

Denver Evening Post 11-24-1898 Deaths Not Reported Friends of Insane at Pueblo Not Notified When They Die Sheriff Fisher has returned from Pueblo, where he went in charge of Ethel Polkinghorn, who was committed to the asylum last week. An incident illustrating a peculiar, in fact an outrageous, condition of affairs in connection with asylum routine, occurred during the sheriff's visit to the state institution. While the warden was making out a receipt for the new patient it occurred to Mr. Fisher to ask how Stephen Le Fevre was getting along. Oh, he's doing nicely, said the warden, without looking up. After the receipt had been duly signed and handed to the Pitkin county sheriff, however, the warden remarked: Le Fevre, did you say? Wait a minute; I may have been mistaken in the name in answering your question. Turning to a bulky record the warden ejaculated: O, yes; I was mistaken. Stephen Le Fevre died on Nov. 8 (3?). It appears that there is no requirement of law which obligates the asylum authorities to notify anyone when a patient dies not even the sheriff of the county from which they were sent. Thus, unless relatives or friends of patients committed to that institution keep posted through unofficial channels as to their condition, they may died and be buried without anybody outside the asylum walls being the wiser. Le Fevre was delivered over to the asylum authorities Oct. 25 and the record says he died Nov. 8, but little more than a week after his commitment. And it was only by accident that the fact of his death was learned over two weeks after it occurred. It would seem that here is a matter that requires legislative attention. Aspen Tribune.

Lehey, William J.
Denver Evening Post 12-16-1898 An Insane Mystery William Lehey in His Misfortune Runs Against Some Swell Denver Things William J. Lehey, a young man who is suffering from tuberculosis, attempted to jump from the ninth floor of the Brown Palace hotel late yesterday afternoon while laboring under a fit of temporary insanity. He was prevented from killing himself by a hotel porter. Just who Lehey is he refuses to tell and there is a great deal of speculation concerning his antecedents. Lehey went to the hotel a week ago and registered from New York city. He said he wanted a cheap room and was assigned to 927. It was noticed that he was ill and when asked what ailed him he replied that his lungs were affected and that he had come out here for his health. Not much attention was paid to him, but Wednesday he acted in a manner that led the clerk to believe he was not in his right mind. Dr. Eskridge was called in and made an examination. Dr. Eskridge said that Lehey's mind was not in its normal condition, but he thought he would be much better in a short while. A porter was put to watch over him and yesterday the sick man became boisterous, threatened to kill everybody and threw chairs around the room as though they were baseballs. A special officer who is connected with the hotel was sent for and when Lehey saw him coming he made an attempt to jump through the window. He ran to the window and broke the glass with his hand and was about to throw himself on the street below when he was caught by the special officer and prevented from killing himself. He was guarded in the room for a time and it was decided to send him to a hospital. The manager of the hotel did not like the idea of an ambulance backing up to his place, so the watchman started to walk Lehey to St. Luke's hospital. On the way to the hospital Lehey began to fight the special, and had to be dragged to the place. St. Luke's hospital refused to admit him because he was so violent and also refused to lend the ambulance to take him to the county hospital. The police ambulance was called and Lehey was taken to the county hospital by an officer. Lehey's face was scratched and his hands were badly cut by breaking the window glass. He offered no resistance while being taken to the county hospital or after he got there. At the hospital he refused to tell anything about himself further than to say he had a brother residing at 356 West 119th street, New York city, and that he was connected with the postoffice at that place. This address is in an excellent residence part of New York and leads the physicians at the hospital to believe that Lehey is well connected. He was fairly well dressed and has a prosperous appearance. He is about 25 years old, nearly six feet tall and is of dark complexion. This morning he seemed much better, but he refused to say anything about himself or why he had attempted to jump out of the window. His brother has been telegraphed to but no word has yet been received from him.

Denver Evening Post 1-8-1899 In The Wards For Insane Chats With Mother McDonald, William H. Lahey, Edward Vosborg, Amy Love and the Evasion of Mrs. Guire It was cosy in the office of the county hospital. There was warmth and the clock ticked and Dr. Long wrote at a neatly kept desk. We have twenty-three of them now, said the doctor, resuming the conversation in a leisurely manner as he finished making his notes and put up the pad. The talk had been of insane patients. Sixteen of these are women, he continued; the others are men. Would you like to see some of them? The visitor said he would and the courteous doctor led the way. Out in the corridor two tidy women in white caps were mopping the floor. Through the open doors on either side one could get glimpses of cleanly store rooms, a shining kitchen, a well ordered dining room and a methodically arranged drug department. Wait till I get the key to No. 4, said Dr. Long as he went into a small room near the stairway. He was back in a second, and the two proceeded to an apartment with a grated door, which, being opened, brought to view a lobby with other grated doors opening into it
Have you ever seen Lahey? asked the doctor as he and his guest moved away from No. 4. No, I have not, was the answer. He is Williah (William?) H. Lahey, the young man who came west from New York about a month ago with Lieutenant B. F. Wooding and his wife, and tried to commit suicide by jumping from the Ninth floor of the Brown Palace hotel, explained the doctor. He is a consumptive and is very weak. We hardly expect him to recover. In another of the insane wards, wherein were three other men lying on cots, lay Lahey, also on a cot. He was very pale, so pale that his red growth of whiskers seemed by contrast like flame licking about his throat and face. His face was much emaciated and his forehead was clammy. His eyelids lifted heavily and he gazed up at the doctor with an expression of abject indifference to anything on earth. How are you today, Lahey? asked Dr. Long in that cheery voice of his, which is a tonic in itself. Lahey wagged his head once on his pillow but said nothing. Do you sleep well? Again the wagging motion. I have been telling this gentleman that you came out from New York with Lieutenant Wooding and his wife. You are related to Lieutenant Wooding, are you not? Mrs. Wooding, said Lahey, in a scarcely audible whisper. What is the relationship? My cousin. We hear you were employed in the New York postoffice and that you ranked very high in the service. What was your position? Second division. And your duties? Sorting newspaper mail. Lahey was then asked if he did not stop in Chicago on his way out. He could not remember, neither could he say whether he had ever been at the Brown hotel. I haven't much hope for Lahey, said the doctor, as they left him

Lehman, Eliza J.
Rocky Mountain News 2-8-1890 England and Holland Disagree Eliza J. Lehman is a dapper-looking little Englishwoman from London who has lost her reason and was yesterday adjudged insane by a jury in the county court. It appeared that years ago the lady, who is about 50 years old, allied herself matrimonially to a Dutchman who, she claims, has not been altogether a congenial mate to her. You see, judge, she ejaculated, he was a soldier, and he insists on having everything about the house in military order; and maybe I didn't want to have it that way, so we couldn't get along very well. And then there was the international dispute. An English lady and a Hollander, your honor, have no business to marry one another. The Britisher also wants to blow about England, and the Deutchers well, they know it all, too, and both of them can't be boss, can they? Now, my husband is an unconquerable sort of a fellow, and what could I do? He wouldn't admit that England could knock saucepans out of the Dutch every day in the week, and everybody knows you know yourself, judge that one Britisher is as good as three Hollanders any time? The old lady was prepared to follow up her European criticisms an hour or two longer, but the court grew tired and insulted her somewhat by ordering her to desist. Dr. Robertson testified that he had medically examined the woman and was of the opinion that she was insane. The jury took the same view of the case. She will be taken to Pueblo.

A jury of six was empaneled who heard the witnesses and brought in a verdict that the woman was insane. She will be taken to Pueblo today by Sheriff White and placed in the asylum. She was kept last night in a room over the jail where her husband looked after her. The physicians think that there is a chance of her regaining her mind under the skillful treatment of the doctors at the asylum.
Leiben, Mrs. August
Aspen Daily Chronicle 10-2-1890 An Insane Woman Deputy Sheriff M.A. Sutton went to Aspen Junction yesterday evening and took charge of the unfortunate woman, Mrs. August Leiben who a few days ago went insane. She lived with her husband and children on their ranch and had a happy home. No cause can be assigned for her loss of mind. Her insanity is of a violent form and she refuses to wear her clothing. She will have to be sent to the asylum. Mr. Sutton did not bring the woman up last night. It was too late to cross the river when he got back to the Junction form the ranch. And he had to take her back home for the night. The river is crossed by means of a box suspended from a wire cable and the engineer in the Midland yards had gone home for the night and there was no one to pull them across. Mr. Sutton, in working his way over with some other men, caught his hand in the cable and had it severely mashed. He will go down again to-day and bring the woman up on the Rio Grande.

Rocky Mountain News 12-1-1889 Curing the Insane A Strange Character On the top floor the attendant knocked reverently at the door of a small room. A cheery voice sung out: Come in, monsieur. The door was pushed open and the visitors confronted one of the oddest and most original characters of humanity that would baffle even the pen of a Dickens to vividly portray. It was an old Frenchman, an artist by trade. He is 73 years of age. The hair on his head grew in patches. There was a stretch of silvery gray, interspersed with a dot of decayed auburn, and around the edges a streak of black and gray mixed. A defect in his eyes caused one to look with gamy peculiarity toward the west, while the other had a focus on the east. His face was clean shaven, except a closely cropped mustache that bristled like a tooth brush over two very thick lips. His teeth would rattle a dentist's sign off its hinges. On the end of his nose was an oasis of brilliant erysipelas carmine that proclaimed bygone days of dissipation. This gentlemen, is Monsieur Pierre Le Meaux, the famous painter, announced the attendant as he dallied with the keys, with a stay-jailer-stay indifference. The veteran son of Gaul bowed profusely, and although age had made inroads into former activity, he still possessed a bit of nimbleness. Rushing to a corner of his room the Frenchman returned with an armful of canvass paintings and threw them on the bed for inspection. The work of this lunatic was astonishing. There were fruit pictures, landscapes and in fact every conceivable kind of painting in oil colors. The lines were symmetrical and artistic. The governor purchased a watermelon picture and presented it to the News man. At first the Frenchman asked $2,000 for it, but finally came down to $1. All the painting on the asylum building was done by Pierre Le Meaux. He is gradually recovering from his insanity. It was caused by a big loss in a mining deal in this state.

Wray Rattler 9-12-1912 Our community was greatly shocked last Thursday when one of our neighbors Earl Lesher, became partially insane. His actions were such that some of the neighbors telephoned to the sheriff to come after him, and he was taken to Wray. We hear that he was given a trial that evening, and they had him on the way to Pueblo before morning. His relatives here knew nothing of it until the next day. This may be right, but we do think that if he had been a relative of some of the officers that had him in charge, they would not have been in quite so big a hurry.

At that tine Mr. Lesher was taken to Pueblo but was later given into the custody of his brother, George, and a sister, Mrs. Charles Hays, both of near Eckley. Their promise to remove him at that tine to the home of his father in Martin, Kans., was not carried out, as he has been in the vicinity of Eckley until the recent complaint was brought. He was released to Mrs. Hayes, who left with him that evening for the home of their father in Martin.

Rocky Mountain News 11-2-1896 Amid Scenes of Horror County Hospital Is Crowded With Insane Citizens
Thereby dangles a story a narrative showing how well the county doesn't provide for her wheely citizens, and exemplifying the extra labor and unenviable experience to which the hospital attendants are subjected. The county hospital never was intended for a lunatic asylum. Never was built with the idea that under its walls would be sheltered at one time, a score and a half insane, ranging from the white-haired old lady who is simply off at times, to the wild, destructive maniac in whose diseased brain is moulded only a desire to kick, bite, glare and make a large noise. A reporter for The News took in the whole works yesterday, through the kindness of Dr. Simon, a member of the medical staff
The raving maniacs are looked after by Charlie, a porter who often has to handcuff an inmate. Not infrequently he has the services of three porters to assist him in subjecting a frenzied prisoner. For two days and nights the cuffs were kept upon Fred Lesher, lately removed from the hospital. There are as many insane at the hospital to-day as can be accommodated. As it is, the other patients are crowded or rendered miserable by the presence of those daft. Demented patients are taken to the institution very rapidly, sometimes at the rate of two or three a day. As none of those there can be removed, the result is obvious. The women are absolutely jammed together and something will have to be done soon to alleviate the distress. This changing about is a great deal of trouble, said Dr. Simon, and if we had a couple more 'ravers' we would have no place to put them, unless it be the county jail. We ought to have a new wing for the acute sick women, and then the old building can be remodeled and given over to the insane and consumptives. The extra and dangerous duty entailed in the care of the insane is not realized. We have twenty-six nurses and three porters, all of whom are kept on the jump
In no time at all the county hospital will be on a par with a lunatic asylum, unless reform measures are soon adopted.

Denver Evening Post 4-16-1896 Fled With Two Babes The Mad Prank of James Lesher, A Smelter Man Somewhere in the city, or perhaps miles away, through the chilling rain and penetrating wind, two helpless babies are being trundled along by their father, who is practically a lunatic. The unfortunates are the children of James W. Lesher, a smelter hand, living at Thirty-fifth and Wynkoop streets. He has long been unsound mentally, and has experienced the horrors of incarceration in a lunatic asylum. Lesher once passed a period of two years in an institution in Kansas. Since 5 o'clock this morning, when, in a moment of sudden frenzy, Lesher snatched his babies from their bed, the little ones have been at the mercy of their irresponsible parent. He stole the children while his wife slept. Without waiting to properly dress the sleeping babies, Lesher seized both, and catching up their clothes, ran out, stopping only long enough to secure the baby carriage. Like one demented Lesher fled from his home, dressing his little ones presumably as he sped on. When Mrs. Lesher was awakened she intuitively sought the couch wherein her children had been deposited by her own hand the night before. The little bed was empty. This, coupled with the fact of her husband's disappearance, enabled the frantic woman to quickly divine the truth. Realizing the peril of her loved ones, Mrs. Lesher ran wildly in pursuit of the demented man, who had so cruelly robbed her. She found a trace of the fugitive quickly. Lesher had followed the railroad tracks down town as far as Twenty-third street, the imprint of the baby carriage wheels being plainly visible in the moist earth. Mrs. Lesher lost the trail at Twenty-third street, and returning home, piteously besought her grocer, G. W. Steffan, to resume the search. Out of pure compassion for the agonized mother, he complied. Ascertaining that perhaps Lesher had visited the house of his friend, Oliver Long, at 1218 Fifth street, Steffan hurriedly proceeded there. He arrived too late, as the demented smelter hand and his precious charges had already been there. Lesher breakfasted with the Longs at 6 o'clock. The babies were fed, and despite the protests of his friend, he trundled off with the carriage and its helpless freight. Although he was then perfectly rational, Lesher did not announce where he was going, but good naturedly refused to remain a moment after breakfasting. The rain enabled Mr. Steffan to track the fugitive for several blocks, but he lost the trail in the vicinity of the Hungarian mills. An inquiry in that vicinity developed no trace of the runaway. Grocer Steffan, who is intimately acquainted with Lesher, has no hesitancy in declaring that he is insane and should be locked up. This morning's escapade is not his first. A few months ago, when temporarily demented, Lesher engaged in a similar adventure. The younger of the two children with him to-day was his companion on that occasion. He took the infant by stealth, and although pursued by his wife, managed to escape to the prairies, where he aimlessly roamed all day. He returned at dusk with the baby uninjured.

Rocky Mountain News 4-17-1896 Kidnapped His Children James W. Lesher Behaves in a Singular Manner While momentarily demented, James W. Lesher at 5 o'clock yesterday morning snatched his two children, aged 5 years and 14 months, respectively, from their bed where they were sleeping and placing them in a light wagon, drove off. At the time Mrs. Lesher was asleep and it was only two hours later that she knew of her children's peril. Lesher hurried with his charges to 1218 Fifth street, where he breakfasted with an old friend named Oliver Long. Leaving Long's house a few moments later, Lesher drove through the rain towards his destination, in the meantime dressing the youngest of his children. Perfectly in keeping with his actions, the parent suddenly changed his mind and about noon returned to his home, 3529 Wynkoop street, with both children, who were none the worse for their hasty journey. Before Lesher's return home his wife had sworn out a warrant in Cowell's court charging him with disturbance, so that he was at once taken in charge by an officer and placed in jail. Subject to Violent Spells Lesher is a smelter hand, who has been unfortunate in securing work. It seems that he is seized with sudden fits, during which time he acts in a singular manner. A few years ago he passed a year in a Kansas insane asylum and since then has been threatened repeatedly with incarceration owing to peculiarities. While his wife was peacefully sleeping yesterday morning he silently arose and hurriedly dressing himself, went into another room occupied by the children. He then lifted them into a wagon and harnessing a horse, drove rapidly away. At Long's home where the crazy man took breakfast, he was asked concerning his wild actions. He gave a vague reply and hurriedly left. One of the officers from Cowell's court laid in wait for Lesher, believing he would return, as his wife believed he would reconsider and come back. At noon the fugitive appeared, but gave no reason for his strange conduct. Blames His Mother-in-Law Our family troubles began over a year ago, said Lesher at the city jail last night. He appeared to be perfectly rational and tears welled up in his eyes when he spoke of his family troubles. My wife's mother, Mrs. Lord, has been the cause of all our unpleasantness. I left Kansas a year ago for Denver, continued he, leaving my wife and baby there. I had not been here a week before I ran across her. Her mother had evidently sent her out here. Mrs. Lord wants my girl to work out, which is preposterous, considering her youth, and my wife seems to side with her. I was afraid they would send her out to work and the thought so angered me that I determined to place them both in the Home of the Good Shepherd where I knew they would be well cared for. I have not had any work to speak of in eighteen months and the longer I am idle it seems the more my wife and her mother dislike me. The officer who arrested me, instead of telling me his business at once, acted like a boy and assured me he had a job for me if I would accompany him down town. When he got me here he said he would have to put me in jail. I guess he was afraid of me. Lesher will answer to the charge of disturbance and kidnapping to-day. Previous Escapade On the morning of November 27 last, Lesher was the cause of numerous wild reports. He left home early in the day with his baby boy. He ran wildly with the baby in his arms toward the Platte river and although several mounted officers searched for him not the slightest trace of man or babe was found. He remained away from home until the following morning, when he reappeared, dusty and worn. At the time Lesher was employed as an extra hand in the roasting department of the Grant smelter. About two years ago Lesher walked out of Denver in the dead of winter and tramped to Iowa. He was taken into custody in an Iowa village and examined as to his sanity. With much difficulty he managed to secure his release and returned to Denver.

Denver Evening Post 4-17-1896 Is Lesher Insane? A complaint charging insanity was sworn out in the county court to-day by Mrs. James W. Lesher against her husband. The family reside at 3529 Wynkoop street. Mr. Lesher was arrested yesterday, charged with assault. Early yesterday morning he left his home suddenly, taking his two small children and driving some distance in the country. About noon he returned as suddenly as he left, apparently with no purpose. This morning he was taken from the city jail and conveyed to the county hospital.

Denver Evening Post 4-20-1896 Escaped From the Hospital Lesher, An Alleged Insane Man, Takes French Leave James W. Lesher, a dangerous lunatic, who has been confined at the county hospital since last Friday, made his escape from that institution a few minutes after 6 o'clock this morning, and is still at liberty. He will probably proceed to his home on Wynkoop street, near Thirty-fifth. His capture is presumably a matter of a few hours. With another patient Lesher was confined on the first floor of the hospital. Although violent at intervals, he was not manacled. An attendant this morning visited Lesher, and in leaving the room evidently forgot to lock the door. The demented man took advantage of the opportunity in a jiffy, and, meeting no one had little difficulty in escaping unseen. Once rid of the room, Lesher quietly opened a window on the ground floor and jumping to the ground disappeared. At the time he wore the regulation hospital garb shirt and overalls. His absence was not discovered until an attendant's suspicions were aroused by finding the open window. As the fugitive has already served a sentence in a Kansas asylum, he was undoubtedly on the alert for such an opportunity as was presented this morning. During the raging storm last Thursday Lesher passed the day traversing the city in company with his two children mere babies. Early in the morning, while his wife slept, he quietly arose and, taking the little ones from their couch, deposited them in the baby carriage, which he trundled away. Her children's disappearance greatly alarmed Mrs. Lesher, who has finally determined that her husband is a constant menace to the safety of her babies and herself. When apprehended Lesher will speedily be tried on a charge of lunacy.

Rocky Mountain News 5-5-1896 In Steel Vice Considerable excitement was caused in the county court yesterday afternoon during the trial of James W. Lesher for lunacy. The man had once before created a disturbance in the court room and yesterday he was heavily handcuffed. Unfortunately when the guard slipped the bracelets on the poor fellow's wrists he got them too tight. For nearly an hour Lesher said nothing but tried by shifting the position of his hands to ease the pain. The court finally noticed the condition of the handcuffs and ordered them taken off. After the jury had brought in a verdict of insanity the prisoner misunderstood the clerk and started to walk away. When some of the attendants tried to stop him there was a sudden struggle and it required four men to secure the prisoner who apologized to the court by explaining that he thought he was discharged.

Denver Evening Post 11-27-1895 Alone With Madman John Fisher Flees With His Infant Daughter Becoming Suddenly Insane, the Demented Man Makes a Dash for the Open Prairie and Disappears Mounted Policemen Are in Pursuit Completely at the mercy of its demented father, the ten-months infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Fisher of 3529 Wyncoop street is supposed to be in extreme peril. Where the irresponsible father and his helpless charge are is a mystery which has greatly agitated the humble home of the Fisher family. At 10 o'clock this morning the frenzied wife rushed excitedly to the Thirty-third street police station and between her sobs and tears told a pathetic story. Her husband, she admitted, was a lunatic at intervals, and had once been an inmate of the state insane asylum. Recently his condition was disquieting and during the past twenty-four hours was alarming. This morning Fisher was in an ugly mood, threatening his wife and family. Instead of going to work as usual, he loitered around the house. Suddenly he caught up the baby from its cot, and darted out of the house. The entreaties of his frightened wife were unheeded. With a mad laugh the unfortunate father announced his intention of drowning himself and the child in the Platte river. Powerless to restrain him, Mrs. Fisher, seeing her baby borne away by the madman, sought the assistance of the police. Sergeant La Shell, realizing that perhaps human life depended upon prompt action, started in pursuit of the lunatic. For an hour he searched carefully along the river bottom and the vicinity. He obtained a trace of the fugitive, but it did not assist him materially. Employes at the Colorado Iron Works had seen Fisher running rapidly by, carefully guarding the little tot which screamed and struggled in his arms. He was then headed for the open prairie. Continuing his search, Sergeant La Shell carefully questioned everybody in that vicinity, but here all traces of the runaway ceased. The futile attempt to capture the demented man and his precious burden was reported to the central station. Captain Phillips at once dispatched mounted officers in pursuit. Should Fisher refrain from carrying out his murderous threat, grave fears are entertained by his wife that he may wander away on the untenanted prairie and perish with their little one.

Rocky Mountain News 11-28-1895 Missing Man and Baby Wife Reported That Her Husband Was Crazy Several mounted policemen and detectives scoured the east end of the city and the towns of Globeville and Elyria yesterday in search of J. W. Lesher of 3529 Wynkoop street, who disappeared early in the day with his 10-months' old baby boy. The flitting of Lesher with his child caused great excitement in the vicinity of his home, as it was reported that Lester was demented. Shortly after 10 o'clock in the morning Mrs. Lesher was engaged in hanging clothes upon the lines in the back yard. The husband, unobserved, took his baby boy, Stanley, in his arms and walked out the front door into the street. He quickened his pace when he reached the vacant lots across the street from his home and presently broke into a run. To make better time he tucked the baby under his arm. When Mrs. Lesher had completed the work of hanging out the clothes she went into the house again. Finding her husband and child gone she became very uneasy. Without delay she notified the police at the Thirty-third street station and Sergeant La Shell started the hunt for the strange runaway. Lunatic Reported Abroad Captain Phillips at headquarters was informed of Lesher's escapade and the report received by him was that a lunatic with an infant clutched in his arms was abroad. Mounted Policemen Huth and Warner were sent out with instructions to make every effort to find Lesher and the baby. Their hunt proved of little satisfaction to themselves or to the distracted mother. Grant Gorsuch of 3545 Wynkoop street had seen Lesher running across the vacant lot with the baby tightly grasped in his arms. About 12 o'clock Lesher appeared at the Tramway depot, Fortieth and Williams streets. Mrs. Susie Dimond saw him peering through a window of the depot. Here all traces were lost. Officer Warner rode through Globeville and Elyria, making inquiries at many houses regarding the missing Lesher. He told officers in these towns to keep a sharp lookout for the man. Meanwhile other officers and detectives were making efforts to locate the much-wanted individual. Until 6 o'clock not the slightest clue was gained which would lead to the man's whereabouts. At this hour Officer Warner called at Lesher's home and found the husband and child safe and sound. Just Took a Walk I just went out to take a walk, explained Lesher. I am not crazy, he continued, and his appearance and conduct did not indicate that his mind was affected. He declined to tell where he had been during the day and gave no good reason for his sudden departure. The baby laughed lustily when he was placed in his mother's arms. He was none the worse for his journey. Mrs. Lesher said yesterday that her husband was at times subject to pains in the head but he had always been rational. She had feared that harm would come to her child and, therefore, sought the assistance of the authorities. Lesher is employed as an extra hand in the roasting department at the Grant smelter.

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 2-12-1886 A Mad Man's Acts. Evening assaults upon unprotected women on West side streets have been frequent during the past few weeks, culminating in the terrible attack on the Kilroy girl with a club last week. Police in citizen's clothes have been detailed to search for the offender, and today William L. L'Esperance, a clerk, 32 years of age, was arrested on suspicion. He has a wife living on the West side, from whom he has been separated some time, and whom he has of late frequently persecuted by unwelcome attentions. He has also several times attempted criminal assaults upon her sister. He was visited at the police station today by several women, who of whom identify him as their assailant. It is strongly suspected that he is the assailant of the Kilroy girl, who is still ill from her injuries. The theory of the police is that he took her for his wife. L'Esperance is, doubtless insane, he having been recently discharged from the insane hospital. He is to be examined by physicians tomorrow, and will no doubt, be returned to the hospital.

John Lewis, a patient at the St. Elizabeth insane asylum, attempted suicide by thrusting his body into the blazing furnace of the building. The engineer of the plant discovered two human feet sticking out of the doors of the furnace and dragged the body out. Lewis, in his frenzy, caught the engineer and wanted to get back into the furnace. During the scuffle several pieces of burned flesh dropped off the body of the would-be suicide. He was finally subdued and taken to the hospital ward to be treated.

Lindsay, George
Cripple Creek Morning Times 1-21-1899 Burned His Money George Lindsay, age 42 years, was locked up in the city jail yesterday by Chief of Police McDaniel. Lindsay had been rooming at the Rialto house at 817 Bennett avenue. Yesterday morning he had a strong hallucination. Taking a wallet from his pocket, which contained $22, he threw it into the fire. Fifteen of the money was paper, and the remainder was silver. He then ran frantically about the house and Mrs. Bennett, the owner, notified Chief of Police McDaniel, who took him to the city jail. Dr. Cunningham visited Lindsay yesterday afternoon and pronounced the man insane. He will be taken to Colorado Springs to-day. Lindsay is a mining man, and came to Cripple Creek a short time ago from Ouray, where he has a brother, James, who has been wired.
Lindsay, George
Ouray Herald 7-16-1896 Insane Geo. Lindsay, who created such a furor in a Denver law office some months ago, is again insane. He was for some time an inmate at the state asylum at Pueblo but was discharged in the presumption that he was cured. The hallucination with which he has been afflicted has become more and more pronounced, until Tuesday he was placed under guard prior to trial for lunacy. Lindsay imagines that our esteemed postmaster, T. J. York, got away with $15,000 of his money which had been (in his mind) transmitted him from the East. His story would sound plausible to a stranger, and he goes on to recite that York covered up his trail by dividing the money with the post office inspector. Nor is Mr. York the only suspected man. E. J. Bent is a still greater criminal in Lindsay's eyes, whose distorted vision tells that Bent unlawfully possesses $75,000 that belongs to him. Such notions would be amusing were it not that Lindsay is physically a powerful man and nearly choked the Denver attorney, besides frightening the wits out of several other persons. To make matters worse the report is current that Lindsay has been packing two guns ever since his return from Pueblo. This fact is not re-assuring to Messrs. York and Bent. Lindsay's removal to the insane asylum is the best possible thing for all concerned; neither should he be again released until a permanent cure is effected. Yesterday morning before a jury, Lindsay was adjudged insane and was sent in the 10:25 train to the Pueblo asylum in charge of Sheriff Benton and Al Sophy. It is a matter of deep regret to all his friends that he has entered this unfortunate condition, perhaps incurable.

Rocky Mountain News 11-12-1895 Lunatic at Large Ouray Man Seized with a Violent Attack of Insanity in the Ernest & Cranmer Block Upon the eighth floor of the Ernest & Cranmer building yesterday noon there was a noisy disturbance and tenants of that floor witnessed a very unusual rough and tumble fight. Four men were actively engaged for a period of fully fifteen minutes in suppressing the vitality of one man, a strong-armed individual with fiery red whiskers and possessed of an aggravated desire to destroy life and property. Shortly after the battle sounds had ceased echoing through the corridors and the ruffled tenants had recovered their senses an ambulance arrived at the county hospital gate with the red-whiskered man still struggling in the arms of his captors. With great difficulty he was placed inside the ward used for the accommodation of the insane. G. G. Lindsay is the name of the man who started the trouble, and who is held behind grated doors as a dangerous lunatic. When he made his way to the office of Attorney David G. Taylor, 802 Ernest & Cranmer building his actions were those of a perfectly rational man. He is a miner by occupation and hails from Ouray, Colo. Always when speaking of money affairs Lindsay declared that the postal officials had conspired to bilk him out of this money. Upon other matters Lindsay conversed in a sensible manner. Lindsay's visit yesterday was to all appearances a peaceful one. As soon as he opened the door of Taylor's office he began to tell his troubles with the government. Taylor endeavored to remonstrate with him and then the ball started rolling. He jumped at Taylor like a wildcat and the attorney fell sprawling upon the floor. Chairs were overturned and divers complaints, motions to quash and other legal documents were scattered over the floor. Lindsay saw nothing but blood before his eyes and waded in to clean out the building. He lost his hat in the scuffle and each particular hair in his fiery beard seemed to bristle out as he sailed into his mission of annihilation. The noises attracted attorneys in other offices and several of them came running into the room. They caught the vigorous miner by his arms and legs and held him fast upon the floor, while the authorities were notified. Deputy Sheriff Ebersoll of the county court and several other officers arrived upon the scene. Lindsay was handcuffed, carried to the elevator, and bundled into the hospital ambulance.

Affidavits were read from the authorities of the Pennsylvania state hospital for the insane at Philadelphia and other testimony was taken. Mrs. Lindsay has been a patient there for some time and as she has a good deal of property of which no one could take charge until she was legally declared incapable of doing so herself, this action was brought and the jury adjudged her insane.

Rocky Mountain News 7-19-1894 Worried Into Lunacy Mrs. Samantha Lindsey Thought So Much of Disasters Throughout the Country That Her Reason Gave Way and Now She Seeks a Cure Mrs. Samantha E. Lindsey has been worrying over the prevailing disasters of the country, until her reason is affected. She was in court yesterday with her daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Hayes of Boise City. She was pathetically eager to go somewhere to be cured. She is not at all dangerous, but her schemes for making money are sometimes troublesome. The other day she tried to buy out a bicycle establishment, being firmly convinced that she would make her fortune by selling the wheels at $1,500 a piece. As there is no room for women in the asylum now, she was sent to the county hospital to remain until there is a vacancy. Thomas Morrison insisted on the witness stand that he was not crazy. He had a very lucid interval, and told incidents of war times with accuracy. He was in the county hospital a while ago, with paralysis of the brain, and tried to sandbag a nurse there. Dr. Eskridge thought he was cured and set him free, but he has been acting in a manner lately that made it seem best to confine him. He will go to the asylum at Pueblo.

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

Boulder Daily Camera 12-29-1894 George Link Insane The Well Known Butcher Brought Over from Louisville. George Link, former night watch of Boulder, was brought over from Louisville this morning and placed in the county jail for insanity. George was confined at the state insane asylum several years ago, but recovered, and has been engaged as a butcher by Autrey & Co., and lately his son opened a shop at Louisville. At all times his mental processes have been irregular, but at last he has broken out a raving maniac, with a penchant for talking religion and the hallucination that he is above the pope. When called before Judge Wright today Link waved his arms frantically and talked very incoherently. I'm Holy George, he yelled. These mines will be running; Cleveland has but a short time now, then I'll come in and all will be right again by the grace of God. His examination came off today. Mrs. Link has occupied her own house on Walnut street ever since her husband's attack and is a daughter of Mr. Weiskopf. They have several children.

Rocky Mountain News 4-10-1885 Foot-Hill Cities Boulder Mr. George Link, for two years night watchman here, went insane Wednesday. When he left his beat and went home Wednesday morning he became so violent that his wife became afraid of him and ran away with her children. Assistance was called and officers were brought forward to take charge of the unfortunate man. He became so violent that it was necessary to confine him in jail. Various causes are alleged for the insanity, and among them it is suggested that a fall had by Mr. Link eighteen months ago may have something to do with it. He complained yesterday of the back of his head, where he struck when he had the fall. For some time past he has been unable to sleep during the day, though he has constantly kept up his beat on the streets during the night. Mr. Link has been a very faithful watchman and officer during his two years service. His many friends are sorry for him in his misfortune and sympathize with his family.

Little, C.W.
Eagle County Blade 6-20-1901 Jumped From a Moving Train. From the Salida Record. Conductor Evans and crew had a rather exciting experience a few days ago with a man who jumped from a window in the train while they were running at full speed. The man who made the leap is C. W. Little, a brother of Auditor Little of the Oregon Short Line road. He was traveling from Salt Lake City to Omaha. He had a sleeper berth but was riding in one of the day coaches. At Tennessee Pass he was overcome by what seemed to be an epileptic fit and was attended by a physician who happened to be on board. He soon became quiet and the excitement subsided. When the train was near Riverside and running at full speed he suddenly jumped from the car window. Of course everybody supposed he was killed. Conductor Evans was in the front part of the train and did not learn of the incident until the train had run about five miles. He wired to Riverside instructing a freight crew that was following to secure the body and bring it to Salida. When the freight reached Riverside the crew was notified of the incident and was about to proceed to find the corpse when a man, considerably bruised and with torn clothes, came up to the caboose and made himself known as the man who had jumped from the window. How it was that he was not instantly killed by his leap is a mystery that will never be explained. Little begged the men not to report the affair but of course that was impossible as the incident was wired to the Denver papers the whole state soon knew about it. He was brought to the Rio Grande hospital here and later taken to the insane asylum at Pueblo. His brother was promptly notified as to what had occurred.

Last year he was adjudged insane and was confined in the asylum for a time, and then was released cured. He was formerly proprietor of the pickle works in this city, but is now working for a salary in a pickle factory in Pueblo.

Denver Evening Post 8-31-1897 Attempted Suicide Denver Girl Becomes Insane at Colorado Springs Colorado Springs, Aug. 31 Miss Amy Love, a young lady from Denver, came to this city about two weeks ago to visit her two sisters, who reside here. Shortly after her arrival the young lady was taken ill and was removed to St. Francis hospital, where she soon became violently insane. As a result of this illness she was removed to the county jail, where this morning she attempted suicide. She took the bed clothes, which she tied together and proceeded to hang herself. She was discovered with just a breath of life left and was cut down. A physician was summoned and at noon says that there is a chance of her living.

Denver Evening Post 11-9-1898 Amy Love, Missing, Has the Suicidal Mania Amy Love, an inmate of the county hospital, escaped from that institution Tuesday morning about 11 o'clock. She is afflicted with suicidal mania, and on four occasions she attempted to take her life. Hanging seems to be her choice of leaving this world, as she has attempted that mode of exit three times, once at Colorado Springs and twice at the county hospital. On one occasion she escaped from the building and went to consult an attorney about her release. Upon returning she locked herself in her room and all efforts to induce her to come out were in vain. She had torn two sheets into strips and had made a rope strong enough to hang a horse with. After this attempt she was watched a little closer, but at the time of her escape was allowed to walk around the corridor. Everything was favorable for her escape, as it was snowing hard and only one nurse was about at the time. She succeeded in getting a blue mackintosh wherefrom the authorities do not know with which she disguised herself. Amy Love was adjudged insane the 21st of last May, but has been afflicted with insanity for the past two years and was kept at the county hospital because of lack of room at the asylum. She is 31 years of age and rather good looking. She was allowed the use of the corridor and gave very little trouble except when in one of her spells. Dr. Lawn, the attending physician, believes that she will, upon the first opportunity, commit suicide and is very anxious for some trace of her. Letters were received for her from Kirk, Colo., where the missing woman has relatives, and it is supposed that she was supplied with money through them, as the money she had at the hospital is still in the safe. This is her second escape from this institution. Last summer she nearly succeeded in her attempt to drown herself in the little lake at City park. She is a blonde, weighs about 135 pounds and is 5 feet 6 inches in height.

Denver Evening Post 11-10-1898 Love, After All, Cuts Some Figure in Life Amy Love A friend to see you, Amy, said one of the attendants at the county hospital this morning as she ushered into the insanity ward a gentleman who had professed an interest in Amy Love, a patient suffering from suicidal mania, who escaped from the hospital Tuesday and was found and brought back yesterday. Amy Love lay deep in her cot with one arm and a shoulder protruding from under the coverlid and her head bolstered up rather high. Take a chair, sir, said she in a pleasant tone of voice; I don't know you, but take a chair. As she spoke she laid aside a Spanish-English dictionary. Lying within reach were a Spanish Self Taught and a pocket English dictionary. The girl's face was pretty. She is said to be 30 years old, but most people would have to be shown her birth register before they would believe it; she looks much younger than that. Her face is oval, her features fairly regular, her eyes gray-blue and there is a wistful and at the same time half-coquettish quality in her smile. Studying Spanish, eh, said the caller by way of an easy opener to a conversation with Amy Love. Si, senor, she responded with a little laugh, poco. Puede hablar la lengua? Oh, now I can't follow you; I think you mean to ask me if I have learned to speak the language. I have learned to speak the language, but I have only learned a little. You learned a way to make your escape from this institution I hear, said the visitor. The smile faded from the face on the pillow. Yes, I managed to give them the slip, but they got me back again. I didn't go very far; I was over at the home of Mrs. Price on South Fourteenth street. You know how I happened to be brought here, don't you? Well, it was just because I tried to drown myself in the lake out in the park. Not for a little thing like that, surely, said the visitor with well simulated astonishment. Yes, sir, just for that. Did you ever hear the like of that? Never in my life. I've wished a thousand times that I was stone dead and resting easy at the bottom of that lake, she went on, her expressive face again overcast with gloom. By the way, why did you jump in the lake? asked the caller in a careless, casual way. Oh, I was just tired of everything, tired of work, tired of the sameness of things. Tired of waiting to hear from him? was suggested. Him? Who? a curious smile that ended in a compression of the lips that made them white accompanied the quick look and the question. Why, the fellow you left behind you at Kirk. I think that is where you came from. Amy Love waited quite a while before she said anything. While she waited she kept her gaze on the coverlid which she fingered. Yes, she said at last. I came from Kirk, out in the east end of Arapahoe county, but I left no fellow there. I left my two sisters and my brother-in-law when I came to Denver and I went to work as housemaid in the family of Lawyer Smith but I didn't jump into the water on account of any fellow at least nobody at Kirk, she concluded, somewhat abruptly. Yes, you did jump into the water on account of him, because you thought he did not care for you, and he does live in the eastern part of the county. Amy Love flushed from her throat to her hair and smiled in a shame-faced way for a second and then turned on her questioner rather fiercely. Well, a body has got to think. It was thinking did it. If only one didn't have to think look how happy little pigs are. They run around and squeal till they get their dinners, then they grunt and lie down and sleep, but they don't think. She was almost sitting up in the bed now and the fingers of her left hand combed her hair. After a little she dropped back on her pillow. What is his name and where does he live? the caller asked gently. He lives at Tuttle. I won't tell you his name, there's no use. Yes, I would like to hear from him but he will have to take the initiative; I will never write to him. Do you really want me to tell you his name? Her manner was coquettish again, her smile teasing. Certainly, I do. Well, I won't, but I'll tell you one thing, it's a word of two syllables and it begins with G. Now let's see how good you are at guessing.

Denver Evening Post 1-8-1899 In The Wards For Insane Chats With Mother McDonald, William H. Lahey, Edward Vosborg, Amy Love and the Evasion of Mrs. Guire It was cosy in the office of the county hospital. There was warmth and the clock ticked and Dr. Long wrote at a neatly kept desk. We have twenty-three of them now, said the doctor, resuming the conversation in a leisurely manner as he finished making his notes and put up the pad. The talk had been of insane patients. Sixteen of these are women, he continued; the others are men. Would you like to see some of them? The visitor said he would and the courteous doctor led the way. Out in the corridor two tidy women in white caps were mopping the floor. Through the open doors on either side one could get glimpses of cleanly store rooms, a shining kitchen, a well ordered dining room and a methodically arranged drug department. Wait till I get the key to No. 4, said Dr. Long as he went into a small room near the stairway. He was back in a second, and the two proceeded to an apartment with a grated door, which, being opened, brought to view a lobby with other grated doors opening into it
And you remember Amy Love, don't you? She tried to drown herself in the lake in City park last May. Oh, yes. Well, you want to see her. She leaves tomorrow for the asylum at Pueblo and she thinks she is going to her home out in the east end of Arapahoe county and she is quite happy about it. Amy Love was found in a room with three others suffering from mental disorders. One of these was Angie Guire, a large, full-faced pleasant looking woman who last March, in a merry mood, attempted to burn up her house in North Denver and, incidentally, to cremate her baby and her mother. Are you getting ready to go, Amy? asked the doctor. The girl thus addressed sat on her cot reading a book, which she at once dropped, turning toward the speaker a pleasant, intelligent, almost a pretty face. Yes, doctor, what little getting ready there is to do. As she spoke she smiled and her face became actually attractive. Then she looked up at the other intruder and recognized him and smiled more broadly. Why, howdy do, said she, extending a white, shapely hand. You see, I remember you. Who am I? asked the visitor. I think you were sharp enough not to mention your name, but you are the gentleman who came to see me the day after I ran away and was brought back and you asked me all about myself and why I pitched myself into the lake in the park. She looked around over her shoulder and smiled in a half coquettish manner. Yes, and you didn't tell me why, either. Maybe I didn't know why, and she laughed gently and seemed to be enjoying herself. She is only 25 years old, this girl, and but for her mental ailment she would be as good a catch as any young man need seek. The theory of her case is that a love affair was at the bottom of her disease, and she once made some vague admissions about some one who would not write. And will you be glad to get away? she was asked. Glad, I should say so. There is nothing so attractive about this place as to fill one with regret at leaving it, she answered. Ha! ha! ha! broke in Mrs. Guire, stopping her needle that had been busy with some fancy work, she's right about that. To be sure the country is dreary in the winter. Amy Love proceeded without noticing the interruption, but spring will soon come and the flowers oh, what lakes and seas of flowers! She spread out her hands and was for an instant glorified at the thought. It was touching, this fine, intellectual appreciation of the beautiful in nature, this longing for freedom and the flowers. Especially was it so to the two who listened and knew she was but to be transferred from one walled enclosure to another. And I might get something to do, she went on intelligently. The schools will all be taken I taught one once, she interjected, a look of pride in her face, but I can do stenography and I would make a very fair amanuensis. And will you see the young man when you go home? Her smile stopped and then came again gently and her face and neck became crimson as the blood surged there. What young man? The one who wouldn't write the one you hoped and hoped to hear from. I don't think I ever said there was one. No young man cares for me, but her face grew sad, pitifully sad, for an instant and then she moved her hand downward as if to dismiss that subject and said, but I go tomorrow, don't I, doctor? and was happy again. When I come here, cut in Mrs. Guire again, as irrelevantly as Mr. F.'s aunt, I took a whole dose o' morphine and I told all about myself and my business affairs. I told But the doctor and visitor said good bye to Amy Love and went away without finding out what else it was Mrs. Guire told.

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 7-12-1888 Adjudged Insane. Joe Love, who was arrested on Tuesday by under Sheriff Loomis was adjudged insane in the county court yesterday morning, the jury recommending that he be sent to the Pueblo insane asylum. The crowded condition of the Pueblo asylum, however, makes this impossible at present. A Frenchman named Laquerre, who is now confined in the county jail, was also adjudged insane last week, but could not be sent to Pueblo for the same reason. The two Lake county candidates for admission will therefore, have to remain in the county jail here, until a vacancy occurs.

Rocky Mountain News 9-7-1888 Leadville Lunatics Leadville, Colo., Sept. 6 Joe Love, a crazy negro who has been confined in the county jail for the past two months, was taken to Pueblo to-night, a telegram having been received stating that there was room for one more in the asylum, caused by a discharge. The crowded condition of the Pueblo asylum has been a source of great annoyance here, as several people have been adjudged insane in the county court yet could not be taken proper care of. Love labors under a religious hallucination, and has become so weak through almost constant praying and endeavoring to break the iron bars of his cell with his fists that his death is daily expected. A Frenchman named Laquerre, adjudged insane at the same time Love was, is being cared for at the county hospital until he can be sent to Pueblo. He has tried to strangle his keeper on several occasions, nearly succeeding once.

August 7, 1897 Glenwood Post and Weekly Ledger (Glenwood Springs, Garfield County) JACK LOWE INSANE Jack Lowe, who has been driving the stage for several years between Rifle and Meeker, became suddenly and violently insane Tuesday and was brought before the county court with insanity charges preferred against him. A jury of six was impaneled and after hearing the evidence in the trial rendered a verdict accordingly. Judge Noonan committed the unfortunate fellow to the care of the sheriff and took the matter under consideration. The insane asylum is now crowded and the court just does not know what to do in the premises. Sending the man over to Pueblo would put quite an expense on the county for he would be sent back immediately. Sheriff Ware has put his charge in the cell especially prepared for such cases and while it is the best that can be prepared under the circumstances, still it is no place for a man so alienated.

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 8-7-1897 Love Stole His Wife Away. Constable Thompson and Justice of the Peace Webster of Rifle brought in Jack Lowe, an insane patient from Rifle, Tuesday evening. Lowe has been driving the stage between Rifle and Meeker, and has always apparently, been rational. About the time the stage was to start for Meeker yesterday morning, Lowe came out of the barn, got on top of the stage and began to yell, giving forth some unearthly noises that drew the whole town in his direction. He was shouting and screaming at such a rate that the people concluded he had become distracted, and the two officers above mentioned took him in charge. They were compelled to lasso him and tie a rope about his body to prevent him doing damage to himself or the community, When they had him completely tied up he came to his senses and told his friends that he knew he was insane; that the cause of it was a love affair. He was put aboard a freight caboose and brought to Glenwood Springs, and during the trip up here he again became almost unmanageable. They did not have anything with which to tie him, but those present held him until they reached New Castle, where they procured the marshal's handcuffs to use on the hands of Lowe to prevent him doing harm to himself. When brought to this city he was perfectly rational, and when examined by Dr. Dean, the county physician, he gave his whole history, which the doctor refused to give the reporter. Mr. Lowe has been stage driver between Rifle and Meeker for some time, and no one noticed that he was going out of his head. This sudden affection surprises everybody who know him. His case was before the county court last night and a jury adjudging him insane, he was taken to the asylum this morning. It is thought his trouble is only temporary, and that he can be brought out all right.

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

Aspen Democrat 1-14-1906 Hopelessly Insane - Denver, Jan 13 - Herman Lueders, secretary of the state capitol managers, is hopelessly insane and will not live long, probably not more than 90 days. Superintendent Bussey of the insane asylum, reports his condition as pitiable and says that unless the end comes it will be necessary to confine Mr. Leuders in bed with an attendant in constant waiting. His hallucination has taken the form of religious mania. He claims to have made several visits to heaven. This is regarded as most unusual as the patient never gave any attention to matters of a religious nature so far as his friends knew.

Rocky Mountain News 1-4-1895 Sad Scenes in Court Number of Demented People Officially Pronounced Insane There were some sad scenes in the county court yesterday when six lunatics were brought from the county hospital and placed on trial to determine their sanity. Five of the unfortunates are women, and each seemed possessed of the idea that the time had come when she should give an exhibition of her peculiar mania. Mary Williams is one of the most dangerous lunatics that has ever been treated at the hospital. A few weeks since she attempted to set fire to the institution by throwing clothing upon the red hot stove in the corridor of the basement. She raved continually during the trial, and was carried, struggling, after the verdict was returned, to the ambulance in waiting. Hannah Swan is a very pretty young woman and the doctors said that her relatives gave her age at 22. She was employed for a time as a domestic at Fort Logan. One middle-aged woman, Tillie Lundgren, talked continuously, and it was with difficulty that the trial could proceed. There were two women who sat and stared at their surroundings, apparently unmindful of what was going on. Their names were Fannie Payton and Clara Wilson. Fred Krause gave the attendants no trouble. The jury found in each instance that the party was unable to care for herself and was dangerous to her person and to that of others. They were all taken back to the hospital, where they will remain until there is room for them at the asylum at Pueblo.

Lynch, George W.
Rocky Mountain News 6-28-1883 Very Sudden Insanity A Strange Story of Murder, Arson and Vengeance Passing Through the Penitentiary to the Insane Asylum Yesterday, on receipt of the report of the commission adjudging George W. Lynch, a life convict in the penitentiary, insane, Governor Grant ordered his transfer to the state insane asylum. It is not probable, however, that the insane man will receive the aid and attention of the asylum officials for some time, as that institution is so full now that applicants are almost weekly refused admission. The story connected with Lynch's misfortunes is sad in the extreme, if judgment can be passed on the tone of letters received by Governor Grant from parties in Texas, Lynch's former home. L. G. Weaver, under date of March 5 last, writes from Hockly, Harris county, pleading for executive clemency. He says Lynch was a strict church member, a devout Christian and an honest man. Never hesitating to express his opinion on any subject, he incurred the displeasure of many of the roughest elements of society. The trouble between Lynch and the roughs culminated a few years ago by his house being broken into, his family of eight children and wife killed, and himself shot seriously. The house was set on fire and the murdered remains of his children and wife, were burned beyond recognition. Lynch escaped from the burning building just in time to avoid sharing the fate of his family. Neighbors took him in and after careful nursing he was soon able to be of service to himself. The perpetrators of the heinous deed were unknown, but Lynch was determined to hunt them down. He killed one of the murderers in Texas, and public opinion was so strongly in his favor that he was never tried. Another one he tracked to Leadville, and after giving him warning, shot him dead. This was about two years ago. Lynch gave himself up, was tried, convicted and sentenced for life. No effort on the part of his friends was made for his release at the time. During the past six months, however, Texas friends have interceded in his behalf, and the governor has been besieged with letters pleading for executive clemency. No attention has been paid by the executive to them. The insanity feature of the case, however, is of recent development. Warden Hoyt, now in the city, yesterday told a News reporter that until about two weeks ago Lynch was one of the best men in the penitentiary. About two weeks ago the warden received a letter from a lady in Illinois, inquiring whether such a man was in the penitentiary. The warden turned the letter over to Lynch, who on reading it burst into tears, and soon after completely broke down. He informed the warden that the letter was from a niece, to whom he was greatly attached, and that it broke him up. Soon after Lynch became vicious and showed signs of insanity. A close watch was kept over him, but he soon became so violent that solitary confinement was necessary. Lynch may recover his mind without the aid of the asylum treatment, but Warden Hoyt appears to think not, and is of the belief that he should be taken to the asylum without delay, thus giving the man an opportunity of recovering his mind and receiving the benefit, if any is to be hoped, of executive clemency.
Lynch, George W.
Rocky Mountain News 2-16-1884 Canon City, Feb. 15 A convict named Lynch, sentenced for life, made his way back, on foot and alone, from the insane asylum at Pueblo, and knocked at the penitentiary gate for readmittance. The only mittimus he had was a certificate of cure from Dr. Thombs, and he called to report. If this man is sane he deserves a pardon at once. If sane or insane, Dr. Thombs, as suggested by the Canon Record, should at once be put under treatment.
