Mackelfee, Edward
Durango Wage Earner 7-2-1908 Pueblo, June 27. Mrs. A. E. Jones, wife of a Pueblo merchant, who was assaulted with a hatchet by Edward Mackelfee, an insane negro who escaped from the state asylum here on April 27, died during the night at the Pueblo hospital the result of her injuries. Her death was unexpected. Two days ago she sat out in the open air, and her husband had planned to take her to Puget Sound in a few days to recuperate. At her bedside were her husband, E. A. Jones, and her two children, Archibald, aged 11, and Elizabeth, aged 9. Mrs. Jones was on her way down town when Mackelfee ran up behind her and sank a hatchet in her skull in three places. Two of the cuts penetrated the skull and two pieces of bones each as large as a silver dollar was taken out by the surgeons.

Breckenridge Bulletin 6-13-1908 Fence For the Insane Asylum Governor Buchtel Investigates Escape of the Insane Negro Other Precautions Gates To Be Carefully Guarded Both Day and Night. Pueblo, Colo. As a result of the investigation held Tuesday by Governor Buchtel concerning conditions at the state insane asylum which was conducted at the institution, a high wire fence will be constructed around the grounds, and a guard, night and day, will be placed at the gate. Owing to pressing business in the capital city, the governor was not able to hold as thorough an investigation as he desired, and he will return June 19th. At that time, he stated, he will be glad to confer with any persons who saw Edward Mackelfee, the insane negro, assault Mrs. Edward A. Jones with a hatchet April 27th. After going over the entire course taken by the negro when he escaped from the asylum, in company with A. P. Busey, superintendent of the asylum, and two nurses, this morning, Governor Buchtel examined all the witnesses to the affair who called at the asylum. The investigation was held with the assistance of Rev. J. W. Finkbiner and Dr. M. R. Virgil of Walsenburg, commissioners of the asylum. The witnesses were B. F. Scribner, Mrs. F. L. Hahn, W. C. Durfey and Mrs. J. K. Spencer. The board at the meeting on recommendation of the governor, directed Superintendent Busey to immediately have a strong wire fence built about the asylum grounds. This fence will be ten feet high, with posts approximately eight feet apart. The high board fence at the south is supposed to be an adequate protection toward the railroad tracks. The fence on the north will be built in the best manner as a permanent fence, with strong wire. The fences on the east and west will be made as additions above the line of the present fence. The fences east and west, will be temporary fences, as condemnation proceedings have been instituted to acquire more ground both at the east and at the west sides of the present grounds. The temporary fences will be made secure, though they will not be sightly. When the permanent fences are put in at the east and west, they will, of course, be both strong and sightly. The grounds will be kept closed day and night. Two gatemen will be employed immediately, one for day and one for night service, and the main gate at the east will be opened only for people who have business at the asylum. With this arrangement it is hoped to prevent the escape from the grounds of any of the inmates of the asylum.

Mrs. Macken last heard of her husband over two years ago, and he was then, she says, in this city and was sent from here to the insane asylum, where she thinks he died, but can get no positive information. She desires the mayor to ascertain, if possible, what became of Daniel.

Maher, Patrick
Telluride Daily Journal 5-23-1914 Cortez in Wrong Pew The last issue of the Cortez Herald, published at Cortez, the county seat of Montezuma county on Thursday, May 21, 1914, and which reached our exchange table this morning, contained a very unwarranted roast of San Miguel County and her officials. Following is what appeared in the Herald under the editorial columns: One of the smallest tricks perpetrated on this county for some time was when a deputy sheriff of San Miguel county motored in to Cortez Tuesday morning and dumped an old man, Patrick Mayer, nearly ninety years of age, off at the court house to be cared for by our officials, after which he hit the road on the return trip to Telluride. Mayer seems to be wholly insane at the present time and needs constant care and attention. We are informed that Mayer has not been a resident of this county for several months, having left here in the early winter, and for San Miguel to dispose of her charges in such a raw manner looks pretty raw, to say the least. To start with we will say that Cortez is in the wrong pew and that Brown, the man who puts out the Herald, the muzzled sheet without a mission, is off wrong and has put his feet in the mud. For the benefit of Editor Brown we will give him a little information about Mr. Maher, which he possibly hasn't learned in his several years residence in Cortez. To start with Mr. Maher is a resident of Cortez, or Montezuma county, and has been for the past five or six years and possibly longer, and at no time during the past six years has he been a citizen of San Miguel county, not having lived here long enough, and to the best of our knowledge has never at any time been a citizen of San Miguel County. In closing we will state that Maher was a bootlegger for years in Cortez and that San Miguel County does not have any citizens in her confines who are bootleggers as we have a perfectly good, orderly and law-abiding county where no bootleggers hang about to break the law every day in the week and twice on Sunday. Of course, Cortez is a dry community and there are bootleggers galore in that vicinity. San Miguel county does not wish to care for the residents of other counties and especially when they are bootleggers, so we guess that Brown was in the wrong pew, and that the action of the officials of Montezuma county in refusing to take notice of the appeals of San Miguel County officials to take care of Maher shows the officials there to be very lax and seemingly incompetent to take care of their duties. As a result the only thing to do was for San Miguel County officials to put Maher in his own county and let the prohibitionists take care of their own bootleggers, as the law does not require San Miguel county to do it.

Leadville Herald Democrat 4-3-1892 Adjudged Insane Patsy Mahon, a Well-Known Citizen, Is Pronounced Out of His Mind Almost everyone in public life in this city will remember Patsy Mahon, an ex-officer of the police force, and who took a prominent part in all the elections on the Democratic side, during his residence in this city. Several months ago Mahon suffered an attack of temporary aberration of mind, and mysteriously disappeared. His friends became alarmed and instituted a search, but to no purpose. A few days later Mahon again made his appearance as though nothing had happened, and when asked where he had been, replied that he didn't know, but thought he had been attending to some business. Not long afterward it was noticed that Mahon was again slightly off, and his friends endeavored to persuade him to go to California, and remain there for a while but he refused, thinking it too far away from Leadville. He was finally persuaded to go to Salt Lake, however, and a few weeks after his arrival there Mr. J. T. Quinn, of this city, one of his personal friends, received a letter from Mahon, conveying the intelligence that he was rapidly regaining his health, and felt better than he had for years. But it seems that a change for the worse occurred. Friday morning it was learned that a gentleman in this city had received a telegram from Salt Lake on the previous evening, stating that Mahon had again succumbed to his old complaint, and was violently insane, with but little hopes for recovery. Immediately afterward several of Mahon's friends in that city, knowing of his condition, persuaded him to return to this city, where he arrived Friday night. Yesterday afternoon he was taken before Judge Hall, in the county court, and was tried as to his sanity before a jury of six, composed of the following named gentlemen: George S. Curtis, John R. Curtin, Patrick Shevlin, Edward K. Hill, O. M. White and P. D. Leomer (Loomer?). After being out but a few minutes, the jury reached a verdict sustaining the allegation. Mahon was given into the charge of Sheriff Kennedy, and will remain in the custody of that official until the county commissioners consider the feasibility of sending the unfortunate man to the Home of the Insane, at Jacksonville, Ill.

Mrs. Mallen is held under bond for her appearance. It is learned that Mallen's father is a resident of Phillipsburg Kansas, and he has been notified by Sheriff Potter of his son's death. The woman approaching the round-house and being unnoticed, fired the shot, hitting her husband in the head. Two other shots were fired hitting the husband in the head. The wife has been taken into custody by the local authorities. The difficulty grew out of a family quarrel.

Buena Vista Democrat 3-29-1883 John Maloney, the man who was found to be insane a few weeks since is confined in jail, and we understand is becoming a perfect maniac. It was thought that this man would be benefited by an asylum, and would soon recover. His malady was more extreme nervousness than insanity, and had it been known that he would be confined with criminals behind iron bars for any length of time, the jury would never have found him insane. Major Merriam says it may be six months before he is transferred to the asylum. As there is no room in that institution; a man is fast becoming a maniac, who would recover entirely with proper care in an asylum in a few weeks.

Maloney, W.E.
Durango Democrat 5-5-1909 John Nary Murdered About noon yesterday, on the ranch four miles north of Rockwood, W. E. Maloney, a man 50 years of age, murdered John Nary without the slightest apparent provocation. Mike and John Nary were working in the field when Maloney approached John and engaged him in conversation. The brother, Mike, was not close enough to hear what was said, but after a few words he saw Maloney draw a 32 revolver from his pocket and fire directly into his brother John's face. There was a second shot and then honest old John Nary dropped, never to rise again. Then Maloney ran away and Mike Nary and a Mr. Lechner covered up the body and one came to Rockwood and telephoned Sheriff Clarke and District Attorney Lane, and they departed immediately for the scene of the tragedy, leaving here about 2 p.m. yesterday. Mike Nary and Lechner remained on guard over the body until the officers arrived. There was no reason for such a tragedy and the only way the residents of Rockwood account for it is on the ground of insanity, as they now report that Maloney has been acting very queer of late. He has made violent threats against a number of people in that vicinity and only a few days ago a lady of the neighborhood who was riding horseback was met and threatened by him and had to return to Rockwood to get help so she could pass on without danger. Maloney is a bachelor and lives all by himself in a cabin outside of Rockwood. He has been laboring under the belief that someone has been stealing his cattle, and only recently he asked Mrs. Swire, the post-mistress, if she knew who stole his cattle or if she had seen anyone driving them through Rockwood. Upon being told that she had not he murmured some threat and left her. There were those who felt that they should notify the authorities of his peculiar conduct, but they now realize that they deferred doing so until too late. John Nary was a man between 50 and 60 years of age, an upright and conscientious citizen who, rather than wrong a neighbor, would give up all he possessed. Of a retiring disposition, he would be the very last person on earth to give offense or provoke a quarrel. He dies leaving a widow and four children, the oldest of whom is Mrs. Ford of Tacoma (power plant), a son 18 and two smaller children, as well as a little grandchild (daughter of his deceased daughter), whom he was raising. Later Sheriff Clarke, District Attorney Lane and Coroner George Goodman arrived at Rockwood about 5 o'clock and at the scene of the tragedy about 6 p.m., where some twenty men had gathered. The body was placed in the undertaker's wagon and then the sheriff and men went to the Maloney cabin, where the sheriff picketed armed guards all around and then himself approached the cabin and called to Maloney, who answered, Who's there? The sheriff told him his mission and asked if he was ready to surrender. There was no reply, but soon the door was opened from within and the murderer appeared with an axe in his hand. The sheriff approached him and grabbed the hand holding the axe, when Maloney reached to his pants pocket for his gun, but Sheriff Clarke beat him to it, taking the gun away from him and giving it to Hardie Smith. The handcuffs were then put on and the return to Durango begun. Gabe Love was of great assistance throughout. Upon his arrest Maloney said that the King of England had sent a spy over here last week and he ordered the killing of all the people up there. Maloney was born at Norfield, Minn., and at the age of 13 was shot in the head by an Indian, and the scar and powder marks are apparent to this day. This may have unbalanced him. On the way down he told the sheriff that he killed Nary because he was a Catholic. He said the Catholics had poisoned his cattle and horses and had stolen some. His name suggests that perhaps he should be of that creed and his incoherent statements against those of the faith suggest that perhaps he had some misunderstanding with his church in bygone days which has been weighing on his mind and engendered a hatred for that religion. He has represented himself as a Seventh Day Adventist to the people at Rockwood. He also told the sheriff that he was sorry he had not killed Mike Narry too. His mother is 80 years old and at present resides at Fremont, Neb. She has not yet been notified. The sheriff and others arrived with the body and the prisoner at 11 o'clock and the slayer is now languishing in the county bastille. He will probably be adjudged insane and sentenced accordingly.
Maloney, W.E.
Durango Democrat 11-30-1909 The Court The Maloney case was first on the docket and all the witnesses were present. In the morning James Pulliam, Maloney's attorney, presented the affidavits of Drs. Turrell and McEwen to show that Maloney was insane. Judge Holbrook ordered a lunacy inquest for the afternoon session. Maloney was examined by the alienists Nov. 23, and they pronounced him insane. Three months ago he was also examined as to his mental condition and he was declared to be sane. Mrs. John Neary, with three little orphaned children and a grown son, was in the court room. She stated to a Democrat representative that the adjournment was a sad blow to her. She declares that her husband was killed in cold blood by a man whom he had befriended. We were renters on a ranch north of Rockwood, said Mrs. Neary, and Maloney was our neighbor on an adjoining piece of land. On the day of the killing my husband was suffering from toothache and felt miserable. He had plowed a strip of land and he sat down on a sack of seed for a rest when Maloney came into our place and shot him dead. He is playing that he is insane. Now I must get work to provide for my children and a grandchild left to us by our dead daughter.
Maloney, W.E.
Carbonate Chronicle 2-28-1910 Sent To Insane Asylum Durango, Feb. 21. W. E. Maloney, who last May shot and killed John Neary at Rockwood and then barricaded himself in his cabin and defied pursuers for some time, was today sentenced to the criminal ward of the state insane asylum.

Daily Rocky Mountain News 2-15-1879 - A Woman Declared Insane - Yesterday afternoon a woman named Elizabeth Malvin was brought over from the county poor-house to the probate court, to undergo an official examination touching her sanity. The woman has been a pauper for some years, being in the county asylum at intervals, but always returning before many weeks. A jury was enpannelled and the inquiry was held, resulting in a verdict declaring the woman insane, and committing her to the custody of the sheriff to await removal to the insane asylum. The woman reiterated her sanity with more vigor than politeness, and cross-questioned some of the witnesses with unusual shrewdness.

Fort Morgan Times January 18, 1889 Greeley Democrat: On Thursday morning Constable Lowe of Fort Morgan, stepped off the platform of the bob-tail train in front of a companion who was hand-cuffed and closely bound. Spectators at the depot did not realize what the cause if this unusual procedure could mean, until the prisoner made very serious objections to stopping in Greeley, at the same time throwing himself about in such a wild manner as to convince them that he was frantically insane. The constable told him that they would just stop over here a few minutes waiting for another train, which would take them where the prisoner desired to go, Denver. The prisoner was pacified in a short time, however, and quietly taken to the county jail. Constable Lowe experienced quite an interesting time in capturing his prisoner at Fort Morgan, and says he does not care for many such cases. The unfortunate man was discovered in the cellar of the hotel in Fort Morgan, and showed fight when first encountered, but was overpowered and bound. He had a rope about his neck and was meditating suicide when first found. He was an entire stranger in the town, and nothing was learned of his family or relatives, or where he was from, all that could be learned was that his name was Manning.

Rocky Mountain News 10-19-1890 Wants Her Husband Peculiarly Sad Case of a Demented Man's Wanderings Pueblo, Colo., Oct. 18 Mrs. K. S. Manning wants her husband. She is a kind looking and intelligent English woman, the guest of the Ladies Benevolent Union home. Fourteen years ago she married John Manning in Dakota, where her husband, who is of German descent, took up a claim. Blizzards and cyclones drove the couple out and from that time until a few years ago they drifted about the country, he following his business as a butcher. They finally landed in San Francisco, where the wife secured occupation as a practical nurse. The husband drifted into the intermountain region locating in Southern Colorado. Here by thrift and industry he accumulated a band of sheep and some horses, but through sickness he became demented and was sent to the insane asylum from Glenwood springs. After a time he was discharged as cured, which is the last the anxious wife has ever heard of her husband. She had written time and again from San Francisco but no reply came, and finally she wandered to Colorado in the hopes of finding the wanderer. She believes her husband should have something coming from his property when placed in the insane asylum, also from a legacy in Germany. John C. Manning is described as a man about 66 years of age, strong built, about 5 feet 10 inches in height, blue eyes, and a slight stoop when he walks. He has black whiskers on the side of his face, but on the chin and upper lip the hair is as white as snow.

He gives the name of James C. Thomas of Loveland, Colo., formerly of Richmond, Va., where he says his father, William C. Thomas resides. He claims that certain parties owe him a large sum of money and he has been searching for them in every nook, house and box car for the last day or two. Deputy Shumaker and H. H. Weaver took him to the Springs on No. 11 this afternoon and turned him over to the authorities. He was very wild, but not vicious.

Rocky Mountain News 10-24-1890 Found Her Husband Pueblo, Colo., Oct. 23 It will be remembered that a few days ago The News spoke of a certain Mrs. John Manner who was in Pueblo looking for her husband, who had left her in California several years ago, and who had come to Colorado to prospect but went insane and was put in the insane asylum. She completely lost track of him, supposing him dead, and, in order to settle the family estate, came to Pueblo to get proofs of his death. In seems that the man was confined in the state insane asylum in this city for two years. When discharged he could not find where his wife was, she having moved, so he went to work in the asylum bakery. In reading the newspapers he stumbled across the paragraph describing his wife's searches, and at once hurried to her. To-day they are enjoying a second honeymoon.

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
In room No. 1 (of the Arapahoe County hospital) on the first floor, women occupy the four cells and three are probably the worst patients at present in the building. Cecelia Mansen, a Swede domestic, until lately employed in the service of a family on Logan avenue, sits rocking and moaning by the window, reciting monotonously: Open the doors and everything wide, I'm de principal owner in dis comp'ny and I say so to be. Open de stable an' everyt'in. She can't do anyting, you can't do anyting, we can't do anyting. But open de doors for God's sake!
During the present year the county hospital has been relieved by the state asylum of but twenty-five of its charges who had been forced upon it by a lack of room at the state asylum, where they are firmly denied admission. At one time not many weeks ago there were nine persons tried in the county court on the charge of insanity, and all adjudged insane. They were at once taken to the county hospital for temporary detention. There are now at the hospital twenty-five persons who are adjudged insane, but who have not been sent to the state asylum. The county must support these people, regardless of their 46 per cent of the support of the state asylum. The patients at present in the county hospital are: Cecelia Manson

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
After leaving the office in the front part of the old building yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, Dr. Simon led the way back through a hall to a small room on the right, not over well lighted or ventilated by a couple of small windows. Nothing whatever, not even a chair, occupied the room proper. In each of the four corners, however, was a fair-sized door made of wiring about the size and strength of that used in the construction of flower stands. Bolts locked by padlocks fastened the doors and prohibited the unfortunates behind them from gaining their liberty. Back of these screen doors were rooms, cubby holes, in fact, about 6x6 feet. In them were iron bedsteads
The other three corner cells were occupied respectively by Edith Waite, Kate Godfrey and Cecelia Manson. All of them were muffled, so to speak, to protect them from doing violence to themselves. This room has been fitted up for the accommodation of patients afflicted with mania, who have to a degree quieted down, said Dr. Simon. They are not to be trusted, however. It is plainly evident that the room was never intended for frenzied occupants

Denver Evening Post 11-11-1896 Most Pathetic Case Among the many patients confined in the insane quarters at the county hospital the case of Mrs. Richard Silberman is especially pathetic. On the morning of October 26 the old lady, a widow of 50, created a panic among the residents of 1337 Eleventh street, where she was a tenant. They were awakened early by the sound of crashing glass and incoherent mutterings. When the police arrived it was necessary for them to force an entrance into the old lady's room. She resented the intrusion and resisted with all her strength. Placed in the city jail Mrs. Silberman speedily denuded herself of nearly every article of clothing. She was then removed to the county hospital. Here the forlorn creature occupies a little cell in an apartment containing four. Her three neighbors are all as demented as she. In the same apartment sits Mrs. Mary Knowland, a chattering idiot, whose senseless gorgon continues unceasingly. Kate Godfrey is another occupant in this abode of lunacy. At intervals she fumes and rages and when calm expatiates to her companions upon the great benefit of converting the hospital into a huge sporting resort. The woman thus coins imaginary thousands daily. Celia Manson, an angular, treacherous looking woman of 35, completes the trio of lunatics with whom the widowed Jewess hourly comes in contact.

Telluride Journal 8-15-1912 Well Known Telluride Man Is Found Dead In Denver Lake Denver, Aug. 12. Overhearing a conversation between his brother and sister, in which they stated that he would be placed in an asylum, J. E. Marchand, of Telluride, last night drowned himself in the lake at Manhattan Beach, a summer resort in this city. The body was found this morning standing erect in 6 feet of water by Louis Hepp, the boat keeper, J. W. Dabney and Miss Alice Curtz. The watch which the dead man carried had stopped at 8:35. Marchand was brought to this city last week by his sister to be placed in a sanitarium to receive treatment for insanity. The above is a press dispatch received this afternoon from our regular Denver correspondent. Upon inquiry, The Journal found this to be true with the exception that he was taken to Denver about a fortnight ago by his daughter, Mrs. J. W. Masmer and was to be placed in a sanitarium for treatment. Mr. Marchand was quite violently insane before he left this city. As to the theory of suicide Mrs. Marchand stated this afternoon that she was sure that he had not committed suicide but that he had simply wandered away from his daughter and had fallen into the lake. Mr. Marchand was an old-timer in these parts and was well and favorably known and had a host of friends in this section of the state who join The Journal in expressions of sympathy to the family. The remains will be interred in a Denver cemetery.

It seems that Etta had been led astray, which has so preyed upon her mind, coupled with other troubles, that her intellect has been completely unseated and she remains a laughing, romping, boisterous, desperate individual, tearing her clothes off and performing all kinds of idiotic capers.

Silverton Standard 12-21-1907 Silverton Man in Serious Trouble The following article, referring to S. G. Martin, manager of the Tom Moore Mining and Milling company, appears under a double head leader in the Denver Times of December 14: S. G. Martin, the wealthy mining man, who was arrested yesterday evening at the Albany hotel on complaint of his wife, that he was not supporting their 15-year-old daughter Frances, appeared in the county court this morning with Judge Stimson, his attorney, and pleaded not guilty to the charge. The hearing was adjourned to next Thursday. After his arrest, Mr. Martin gave bond in the sum of $500 with Judge Stimson as surety. In her complaint Frances L. Martin, the wife, says, that since September last, and up to the present time her husband has not contributed a single penny to the child's maintenance. Mrs. Martin does not ask any support of herself. She says that in September last her husband abducted their fourteen-year-old son and sent him to Missouri. One time she claims, Mr. Martin had her placed in an insane asylum at Pueblo. She escaped by sawing a steel bar of her cell and came to Denver. Here she was examined by experts, according to her story, and pronounced sane. She declares that during all their married life she was cruelly treated by her husband. Mr. Martin says, he was divorced from his wife fifteen years ago; that he feels sorry for his wife, as he says, she is not responsible for her actions. According to Mrs. Martin several years after the 1st divorce the parties went to live together again for about a year, but about six years ago they parted for good. In July 1903 more trouble was caused between the couple by some facts which came to light through the suicide of Ferdinand V. Voorhees, a stenographer employed at the Denver National bank. Voorhees had only been married about nine days to Miss Bessie Eyre, who was a ward of Martin's. It was said that knowledge of his bride's and Martin's relations had caused Voorhees to take his life in a field near St. Anthony's hospital. Mrs. Martin again threatened her husband with divorce, when these facts were known.

He did not go into details then, but merely said that his wife was insane and that she had taken her two children and disappeared. This morning he told the police much more concerning the case. Mr. Martin said that his wife was suffering from what the physicians term epileptic melancholia. The disease manifested itself seven years ago and has been growing worse since. Some days the religious mania predominated and she occupied her time in praying. Other days she would be exactly opposite, and make all kinds of trouble. On one occasion she placed a hatchet under the bed and made the children say long prayers, telling them that in the morning they would be angels and she would meet them in heaven. Martin had the best specialists for his wife. She got better for a while and then grew worse than ever. Three months ago he decided it was unsafe to allow her with the children any longer, so he had her sent to Dr. Work's private asylum at Pueblo. Wednesday night she pried the bars off the window of her room, tore the sheet into strips, which she made into a rope, and slid down to the ground. She had $20 which had not been taken away from her, and she boarded the train that leaves that city at 3 a.m. for Denver. Martin and his children live at 930 West Fourth avenue and yesterday a neighbor woman came to the house saying she wanted the children to go over and play with her children. He suspected nothing wrong, as the children often go to that house to play. An hour later Mrs. Martin's 13-year-old son by a former marriage went home and told his father that his mother had taken the children and started down town with them. Martin hurried over to the neighbor's house and there learned that his wife had arrived at 11 o'clock and hid in the back room while the woman went for the children. As soon as they arrived at the house she took them out the back way and boarded a Lawrence street car bound for the city. The worried father hurried down to the depot, thinking perhaps she intended taking the children out of the city, but he could learn nothing. Then he hurried to the police station, where he asked that officers be instructed to look for them. Martin fears his wife has murdered the children. He thinks she took them to a cheap lodging house and if she has not already killed them is making them pray and that when she considers that they have prayed enough she will kill them and commit suicide. He says the idea of killing her children is always in her mind when she has the spells and that unless she is found she will surely do violence to them. God only knows whether those children are alive or not, said Martin. They are with their mother and their mother is crazy. She has many times said she would kill the children and I know she will. I've done everything in my power for her, and I believe if a lot of babbling women who have nothing but mischief making in their heads had attended to their own business and let ours alone, my wife would not be nearly as bad as she is. I would not be surprised if the police find them all dead in some room down town. Where the mother and children have gone is a mystery which the police have not yet been able to solve. No woman of her description, so far as can be learned, has been seen around the depot and the gate keepers say she has not passed through the gates there. This morning all the officers were instructed to search every block and rooming house on their beats in search of Mrs. Martin and the children. Martin is very well known among mining men of this state and for years operated mines around Silverton. His wife is a small, dark woman, 33 years old. The children are a boy aged 7 and a girl aged 9 years.

Denver Evening Post 12-2-1899 Mrs. Martin's Side Her Landlady Says She is Sane and Will Take Chances on Her Killing Children The statement of Mrs. S. G. Martin, who escaped from an insane asylum at Pueblo and stole her children from her husband living in Denver, does not appear to her attorney, W. W. Garwood, to be void of reason and responsibility. He is her lawyer. Said he this morning: In my opinion the children are perfectly safe with their mother. They cling to her and say they do not want to be taken away. Mrs. Martin has them at a boarding house where if any violence were attempted with them she could be prevented, but the landlady says that insofar as she can see the mother is sane. Mrs. Martin is a refined little woman and devoted to the children. She says that her husband has made several attempts to rid himself of her and at last resorted to having her sent to Dr. Work's private asylum. She is a Catholic and he objected to her persistency in rearing the children in that faith and often threatened, when family differences came up, to take the children from her care. She says that when the family lived at Silverton some years ago he was accustomed to spend night after night away from home, leaving her alone with the children. She says also that her husband is wealthy and will spare no expense to do away with her by any available means. While Mrs. Martin was in the asylum her husband sent her a gold watch and chain. It strikes me that this act was very strange if he thought her demented. The investigations which will be made in this trouble may develop some unusual circumstances.

Denver Evening Post 12-6-1899 The Martin Case S. G. Martin, whose wife, alleged to be insane, is hiding with her two children, has determined to ask a habeas corpus writ upon either W. W. Garwood, his wife's attorney, or Dr. James Stenhouse, both of whom are acquainted with her whereabouts. His object in this proceeding is to bring them into a court and force them to divulge the hiding place of the children. Detectives have been placed to watch Attorney Garwood in the hope that his movements may betray her, but as yet no success has been reached to determine where she is. Mrs. Martin's attorney attempted yesterday to induce her to return to her husband's home. This she refused to do except upon the condition that her husband should leave it. This he in turn refused to do and matters remain in a painfully unsettled condition. Mr. Martin is anxious that his wife shall be returned to the asylum at Pueblo, but she declares that she will remain in Denver with the children and if needs be will take a position as cook to support them.

Denver Evening Post 12-13-1899 Is Mrs. S. G. Martin Insane? She Makes a Statement of Her Case to The Post The children and liberty are the stipulations made by Mrs. Frances Martin, who some ten days ago escaped from Dr. Work's private asylum for insane at Pueblo and kidnapped her children from her husband, S. G. Martin. Ever since that time she has kept the little ones with herself in concealment from her husband, who has publicly expressed fear of the safety of the children and continues to seek to secure them. He declares that she has periodical attacks of insanity, and that in these spells she has a homicidal mania which is particularly directed toward her children. Mrs. Martin declares she will cling to the children at all hazards, and guards closely their whereabouts. Her first refuge upon coming to Denver was in the terrace at Thirteenth and Lawrence streets, but upon the information that Mr. Martin had an inkling of their residence, she went to live with friends in the city. On Friday last an effort was made on the part of Dr. James Stenhouse and Attorney Garwood, her counsel, to bring husband and wife together, and a meeting was effected at the office of the physician. The attempt, however, was an utter failure, and a divorce suit may be the only means of settling this most peculiar state of affairs. Mr. Martin consented finally to allow her to return to the Martin home, but this she refused to do unless he should leave it. This stipulation was not agreeable to Mr. Martin, and the meeting adjourned without ceremony. Two physicians have examined Mrs. Martin for insanity at her own request. Dr. S. D. Hopkins, a specialist in insanity, did not give a decisive conclusion, wishing to wait until he had further evidence. Dr. James Stenhouse says: I have examined her carefully, and had several interviews with her, but I have seen nothing nor been able to discover anything which would lead me to think her insane. I believe, moreover, that if a personal investigation of every charge of an insane action on the part of Mrs. Martin were made that the whole case put up by Mr. Martin could easily be run down. I do not suggest anything, but there is more to the case than there appears to be. Mrs. Martin this morning made a full statement of her side of the case, in the presence of the two children who clung to her skirts during the entire recital. She is extremely slight in build; she talks well, and the only indication which might mark her as different from another woman is a restless eye of unusual brightness, which meets those of her interlocutor with sharpest scrutiny. For nine years, says Mrs. Martin, my husband has threatened to take my children from me. Ever since the birth of little Frances here it has been the same story. 'Now be careful or I'll take the children.' Mr. Martin has repeatedly declared to me that he had a son in California, and when I would brag on my eldest son by my first husband, he would say he had a smarter boy than James; so I have come to the conclusion that he has a wife and child in California and wants to be rid of me. Last May he sent the children away to his mother to carry out a threat he had made, and there they stayed till September. I had him arrested for kidnapping, but he was released because he was the father of the children. I stood it as long as I could, and finally, in August, I filed a petition for a divorce and went up in the mountains to cook for the Big Five Mining company. My husband paid $15 to get an extension of ten days to the thirty days allotted by law within which to file and answer, then he came up to the camp and ordered my employer to discharge me, giving her $25 with which to pay me, because she declared she would not let me go till I had worked three months. I soon found, also, that he had induced my lawyer to dismiss my divorce proceedings, and it was not long before I was sent to Dr. Work's insane asylum. Without any examination as to whether I were sane or not, I went simply upon S. G. Martin's say-so. It appears that I was having epileptic fits for his special pleasure. He had no official permit to send me there, and charged me with being a victim to acute mania, epileptic fits and convulsions. For three days before I got to the asylum everybody was on tiptoe, expecting to see a raving maniac, and a dark room was ready for me; but I understood that to keep perfectly quiet and make no resistance was the only way to prove that I was all right, and before long Matron Tucker told me I had been wronged, and that she wished I were released. I took entire care of myself while I was there, and never received any treatment except some pills that I could buy at any drug store myself for 50 cents. I had taken $20 with me. You would have laughed to see how I kept them from discovering it. They searched me, but it was concealed in my clothes, and they never found it. I had determined to escape and knew I should need it. The only way to get out, I soon saw, was through the window bars. I had a pair of scissors, and went to work to pry the fastening of a cross-bar. It took me just two weeks to do it, working a few minutes every day while the nurses were at supper. Sounds like a romance, doesn't it? interrupting her story. The thought gave the little woman genuine pleasure. Well, she went on, everybody knows the rest how I crawled out and got to Denver. On Thanksgiving morning, with just a fascinator over my head, I stole from the depot to my home on West Fourth avenue. I wanted to look at it and I was watching for the children. I saw my husband, and holding to his hand my little son. I turned and ran down the alley. I watched, and after a while I found my little girl on the street; she was going to buy flowers with a little friend. It is not true, as Mr. Martin says, that I sent a neighbor for the children. After I got the little girl I watched for the boy. I was in the house of Mrs. Wittenburg. Her little girl went and called my little boy over, and I took them, holding each by the hand, and ran down the alley with them. I expected that when my husband should reach his office he would receive a telegram from Dr. Work saying that I had escaped. We took the car to town, went to a restaurant for lunch, and then to the rooming house on Lawrence street. Since that I have become completely unstrung by the nervous strain upon me. I must have the children, and I am afraid my husband will attempt in his turn to kidnap them, for in a divorce case as any other, possession is nine points in the law. James Martin, my husband's brother, is in Denver now. He dogs me continually, and I think is more determined than my husband to get me out of the way. I am more afraid of James Martin of California than any man on earth. He will leave nothing undone to defeat me.

Martin, a ranchman down the Blue stating that the latter was insane and asking that he be taken care of. Accordingly Martin was brought to town and examined by Dr. Waltz, county physician, who was so certain that he was not insane that he was discharged without trial. Incensed at the affair Mr. Martin deeded all his property to his family and took the train for Denver, declaring quietly to friends before his departure that he would never return to live with them again.

Creede Candle 3-11-1911 Examined As To Sanity Last Tuesday Jesse Martin appeared before the County Court and applied for an examination into his wife's mental condition. Judge C. Y. Butler granted the application and Mrs. Martin was at once brought before a jury composed of Messrs. C. F. Herkert, A. L. Comstock, Warran Hanley, Ike Smith, Chas. Bessey and James Jenkins, for the examination. The jury found that the poor lady was so distracted as to be dangerous to be at large and the court directed that the sheriff take her to the Woodcroft hospital at Pueblo for treatment, believing that she will, after a little time, become entirely cured. Sheriff Duncan and Jesse Martin departed with the unfortunate lady for Pueblo on Wednesday's train for the hospital, where she will receive the best of care and treatment and will come back again perfectly sound in her mental faculties.

Routt County Sentinel 10-1-1915 Woman Found Insane Mrs. Jesse Martin, who had been making her home with her brother, Walter Scott, at his ranch near the head of Morison creek, was on Monday committed to the state insane asylum, after proceedings in the County court under the new law which substitutes a lunacy commission for the former method of trial by jury. This was the first case here of this kind, the present law providing that the patient shall be examined by two physicians and that the court shall be guided by their findings. The Routt county commission consists of Drs. F. E. Willett and H. C. Dodge, who were recently appointed by Judge Morning. As the asylum is now crowded, Mrs. Martin will for the present be cared for at the Woodcroft sanitarium. Mrs. Myrtle Emerson accompanied Sheriff Chivington to Pueblo, to assist in taking care of the patient.

Steamboat Pilot 9-29-1915 Sent To Asylum - Morrison Creek Woman Seems to Be Hopelessly Demented Mrs. Jessie Martin of Morrison creek was brought to Steamboat Saturday by Undersheriff Clark and detained at a hotel until Monday, when a hearing took place, at which it was decided that she was insane and she was committed to the asylum. She is a sister of Walter Scott, with whom she lived. She has showed signs of being demented for some time, but during the last few weeks has grown rapidly worse until it became necessary to have her taken care of. The hearing into the insanity charge was conducted under a law passed by the last legislature, and it seems to be a very sensible one. Instead of a jury of laymen to decide the question, the county judge now appoints a commission of three physicians and they make an examination and report their findings. In this case Drs. Dodge, Willett and Kernaghan were appointed, and their decision was unanimous that the woman is demented. Attorney Ray Monson represented the state and A. M. Gooding acted as guardian ad litem. A county official said yesterday that if this law had been in force a few years ago James Oldham would have been sent to the asylum before he murdered Clifford Fulton. At that time all the physicians said Oldham was insane but it was impossible to convince a jury, having no knowledge of mental diseases, of the fact. After the report of the commission the county judge, under the law, approves or disapproves of the findings. If the findings are approved the friends or relatives of the insane person, if they so desire, may appeal from the decision and in that case the matter has to be submitted to a jury.

Central City Weekly Register-Call 1-11-1889 Personal Grand County Messenger: Samuel Martin came up on the stage from below Tuesday evening, having in charge his brother John, who is temporarily insane and who he was taking outside for treatment. It seems that some time ago Mr. Martin had the misfortune to get seriously injured in a railroad accident, which brought on brain trouble which at times causes him to show signs of temporary insanity. He had almost entirely recovered from these spells, when a short time ago he fell from a load of hay, striking on his head, which caused the malady to again return in a more serious form. It is hoped that he will receive such treatment while in Denver as to be permanently cured. The Denver News of this morning announces the death of Mr. Martin, which occurred yesterday in the office of Sheriff Weber in that city. It appears that he was seized with a fainting fit, and notwithstanding the timely efforts of Dr. McLaughlin, expired a short time afterwards.

Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph 6-22-1974 Escapees Stopped by Crash Here The flight to Denver of two Colorado State Hospital escapees and their captive cab driver ended about 6:30 p.m. Friday when their cab went into the median near the Bijou Street ramp of I-25 and flipped. Benny James Muniz, 24, and James Robert Martinez, 26, both of Denver, left the hospital grounds sometime after 3:30 p.m. after receiving grounds passes. The pair then flagged down Pueblo City Cab driver William Clarence Jacobson and commandeered his cab, heading for Denver. When Jacobson hadn't reported in, the cab company dispatcher contacted the State patrol asking for a location check. Officer Joe Estrada spotted the cab on I-25 south of Colorado Springs. That's when the chase began with Colorado Springs Policeman Charlie Bangs joining the procession at Bijou exit ramp. Boxed in by police officers, one of the escapees who was driving the cab tried to get around Bangs' police car but lost control, heading into the median and finally flipping the cab. Jacobson suffered lacerations in the accident while the escapees were trapped in the wreckage for a while, and suffered minor injuries. After being checked at Penrose Hospital, the pair was taken to jail for investigation of robbery and kidnapping. Muniz was committed to the hospital in June of 1972 after being found innocent by reason of insanity to a variety of charges including assault to murder, conspiracy, assault with a deadly weapon, assault with intent to kill, forgery, robbery, and armed robbery. Martinez was committed in January of 1971 for burglary, theft and robbery. A spokesman for the hospital listed the escapees as walk-aways as of 6:30 p.m. Friday.

Fort Collins Courier 3-22-1883 It is thought that Frank Marvin will have to be sent to the Jacksonville, Ills., asylum for confinement, as there is no room in the Colorado hospital for the insane.
Marvin, Frank
Fort Collins Courier 4-5-1883 Advices from the superintendent of the state insane asylum to Clerk Garbut, received yesterday, state that room will be made for Marvin in that institution in a few days by the discharge of a patient. The Larimer county lunatic murderer will consequently be sent to Pueblo in a few days.

Boulder County Courier 11-8-1878 A Big Thompson Swede farmer, named John Matson, was instantly killed last Saturday, by a shot from a Winchester rifle, in the hands of a heretofore harmless lunatic, name Marvin. The quarrel grew out of a dispute as to the ownership of a mule which the lunatic had picked up on the prairie.

Fort Collins Courier 11-9-1878 Blood For Blood A Half Crazy County Pauper Shoots and Instantly Kills an Inoffensive Citizen on the Big Thompson - A dispatch was received from Loveland, on the evening of Nov. 1st stating that a man had been shot and instantly killed about five miles up the river from that place. several of our citizens went over to Loveland on the freight train the next morning to learn the particulars. On arriving at Ritche's ranch, the scene of the murder, it was learned that Frank Marvin, a half lunatic who has, in part, been supported by the county, shot and killed a Swede named John Matson just as he was entering the door of Ritche's house. It seems that Marvin had taken up a mule belonging to one of Matson's neighbors and kept it picketed up in the foot-hills claiming it as his own. Matson went and got the mule and took it home. The two met soon after at Mr. Bare's and got into a hot dispute over the matter and from words soon came to blows. It is claimed that in the tussle, Matson cut Marvin over the eye with a knife and also hit him with stone cutting a severe gash under the same eye. They then separated, Matson going towards home and Marvin going into a neighbors to have his wounds dressed, and the trouble was supposed to be all over. Not so however. Marvin, the more he brooded over the matter the madder he got and borrowing a Winchester rifle followed Matson who, seeing him armed, attempted to take refuge in Mr. Ritche's house; just as Matson was entering the door, Marvin drew on him and fired, and Matson fell dead; the ball penetrating his heart. Marvin then fled to the mountains with the borrowed rifle still in his possession. Officers have been in pursuit ever since but have not found him. At last accounts they had tracked him to the foot of the range and the supposition is, that he has gone over into North Park. Matsons remains were buried last Sunday. He leaves a wife and three children entirely destitute.

Fort Collins Courier 1-19-1882 Caught At Last Frank Marvin, Who Shot and Killed John Matson, on the Big Thompson, November 1, 1878, in the Toils, After Evading the Law for More Than Three Years - Sunday morning Sheriff Sweeney received a telegram from the police department, Denver stating that Frank Marvin, who shot and killed John Matson, on the Big Thompson, November 1, 1878, was there and, if he was wanted in this county, to come after him. With his usual promptitude Mr. Sweeney boarded the first train south and arrived in Denver the evening of the day the dispatch was dated, and immediately put himself in communication with the police authorities. The next morning, assisted by Deputy Sheriff Linton, Mr. Sweeney commenced the search for Marvin, and while the two were standing for a moment near the Tabor block, corner of Sixteenth and Larimer streets, the object of the solicitude came shambling around the corner. Sheriff Sweeney immediately recognized Marvin and, taking him in charge, lodged him in jail for safe keeping for the remainder of that day and night. Tuesday's north-bound express brought the sheriff and his prisoner home. Marvin was placed in the city jail, where he now lies, awaiting an examination, which will take place so son as the witnesses can be got here. The crime for which Frank Marvin is deprived of his liberty, was committed November 1, 1878, some five miles above Loveland, on the Big Thompson river. From the Courier to November 9, 1878, we reproduce an account of that unfortunate affair which resulted in the death of John Matson and subsequent escape of Frank Marvin, his slayer: A dispatch was received from Loveland, on the evening of Nov. 1st stating that a man had been shot and instantly killed about five miles up the river from that place. several of our citizens went over to Loveland on the freight train the next morning to learn the particulars. On arriving at Ritche's ranch, the scene of the murder, it was learned that Frank Marvin, a half lunatic who has, in part, been supported by the county, shot and killed a Swede named John Matson just as he was entering the door of Ritche's house. It seems that Marvin had taken up a mule belonging to one of Matson's neighbors and kept it picketed up in the foot-hills claiming it as his own. Matson went and got the mule and took it home. The two met soon after at Mr. Bare's and got into a hot dispute over the matter and from words soon came to blows. It is claimed that in the tussle, Matson cut Marvin over the eye with a knife and also hit him with stone cutting a severe gash under the same eye. They then separated, Matson going towards home and Marvin going into a neighbors to have his wounds dressed, and the trouble was supposed to be all over. Not so however. Marvin, the more he brooded over the matter the madder he got and borrowing a Winchester rifle followed Matson who, seeing him armed, attempted to take refuge in Mr. Ritche's house; just as Matson was entering the door, Marvin drew on him and fired, and Matson fell dead; the ball penetrating his heart. Marvin then fled to the mountains with the borrowed rifle still in his possession. Officers have been in pursuit ever since but have not found him. At last accounts they had tracked him to the foot of the range and the supposition is, that he has gone over into North Park. Matsons remains were buried last Sunday. He leaves a wife and three children entirely destitute. Such is an account of the murder as given at this time. Since then Frank Marvin has been a wanderer on the face of the earth, with the mark of Cain upon him. From Loveland he first went to Central; thence out on the plains and down to Hardscrabble, where he has a brother living on a ranch. From there he claims to have gone home to Danville, Indiana, where he remained one winter employed as __man in the county poor house; then turning westward again, he visited Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, and Dakota. He spent last summer in California. He returned to Colorado late in the fall, coming down through Virginia Dale and Livermore. He worked a few days about a month ago for Eaton & Co., on the Larimer County ditch, but having some trouble about getting his pay, he quit and started for Denver. At Denver he says he got enough to do choring around, to keep soul and body together, and that is about all. He started to go to Leadville a few days before he was arrested, but was turned back by the snow storm. Marvin is forty-six years old, and has been in the west off and on since 1858, when he drove an ox team out to Fort Laramie from the Missouri river. He has twice crossed the plains as chief engineer of a team of bulls. He lived in a little log hut in the Big Thompson valley, leading a sort of a hermit's life, for several years, gaining a livelihood by hunting and fishing. He was never married.

Drs. James and Lee were commissioned to make an expert examination to the court. If he is found insane he will probably be sent to the insane asylum without a trial on the murder case.

Rocky Mountain News 2-4-1892 Adjudged Insane Four Unfortunates Committed in the County Court Yesterday The county court yesterday afternoon presented the appearance of an insane asylum. Four unfortunates were adjudged by as many juries to be incapable of managing their affairs, and orders were made committing them to the asylum at Pueblo. The proceedings attracted a very large, very noisy and unduly curious crowd. Henri Murat, who had been delivered up by his bondsmen, who had him released from jail where he was sentenced for sixty days for vagrancy, took the stand and told the jury a jumbled up story about killing dogs, which he proposed to eat. George F. Whitney was another demented man. He claims to have no relatives here, but his friends claim that he has a sister, Mrs. Jennie Skinner, living at Woodstock, Conn., who, it is thought, is not aware of the brother's pitiable plight. Mary Toohey and John Pyle were also found to be mentally deranged.

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.

Leadville Herald Democrat 9-15-1892 His Harrowing Tale William Mathews is Pursued and Haunted by the Invisible Presence of a Woman At a late hour Tuesday evening Marshal Loomis was approached at police headquarters by a rough-looking man, who said he was in search of an officer. When asked what was wanted, he replied that he had been pursued all over the United States by a woman or, rather, her invisible presence and thought that his only chance for living a few years longer was to have his pursuer arrested and kept, during the rest of her life, in jail. He was asked to detail his case, and his reply was a lengthy narration of startling revelations and improbable situations. The story was told in a rapid manner, in all its horrible details, but the speaker was interrupted when yet in the midst of his narrative, by the marshal, who summoned a reporter to take his visitor's story. In the presence of several witnesses, the speaker then commenced at the beginning, and told the following story: My name is William Mathews, and I was born in a house at the corner of Second N and Seventy-Second streets, New York city. I lived there some years, and was well liked, but several parties constituted themselves my enemies and determined to ruin me. They persuaded me to visit a girl who was acting as their decoy, but I learned of their intentions, and when they found that their game was balked they tried another scheme. They tried to make me marry this girl, whose name was Sarah McNabbie, but I wouldn't do that. One night Sarah, who has since been my tormenting spirit, came to me and offered me something to drink, which I accepted. She then threw her charm about me and drove me crazy into the streets. On New Year's night I went to a saloon with a friend and drank wine, but my companion gave me that subtle poison and I was again crazy. Not long afterward Sarah sent for me, and when I wouldn't go to her, she used her charm and cast a spell about me which again sent me about the streets a raving maniac. These spells, however, were of short duration, and remained over me but a few days at a time. One night I went to Welsh's saloon with Jim Debany, and he poisoned my drinks. I fell against the wall, and he helped me over to where a girl was sitting. I took a drink with her and she poisoned me. After that I wandered about the country, but every place I went the strange presence of that woman Sarah McNabbie followed me. I had to keep my mouth always shut, for when I opened it she would throw some strange substance between my teeth. Not long ago I came west, and finally arrived at a point near Cheyenne. I was afraid, however, to go inside the town, for fear that 'she' would catch me, and so started on a walk to Denver. At a way station half way from Cheyenne I crawled in a box car one night and fell asleep. I was soon awakened, however, by the voice of my pursuer. I was terribly frightened, and lighted my pipe to dispel the fantasy, but with little effect. I was left a raving maniac on the lonely prairie, and wandered about six days before I found myself in Pueblo. And there again I found my pursuer. I could hear that terrible voice night and day, wherever I went. I left her there and came to Leadville, for the purpose of having her arrested. She is yet at Pueblo, telling everyone she meets that she has a charm and can place anyone whom she pleases under its spell. I have led this life of terror for four years, and have now engaged your marshal to telegraph all over the country and tell them that I am not as bad as the woman pictures me. She must be arrested, and at once, as I will never be delivered from the spell she was placed upon me. Marshal Loomis turned the insane man, for such he was, over to Undersheriff Dunn, who placed him in the county jail on a charge of lunacy.

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

Colorado Springs Weekly Gazette 3-27-1880 - Officers Dana and Clement arrested an escaped lunatic by the name of Edward Mauff last evening. The man ran away from the state lunatic asylum in Pueblo last Thursday. Superintendent Thombs telegraphed the man's description to Colorado Springs and the officers were on the watch for him. He walked from Pueblo here and Mr. Westerfield, to whom he applied for aid, gave him an order for a bed at the Spaulding House. The officers learned where the man was and took him in charge last evening. He was locked up in jail and will be returned to Pueblo today.

Rocky Mountain News 9-3-1883 A Cranky Christian He is Arrested for Making Himself Obnoxious to Other People Another very disagreeable crank and fanatic has been temporarily placed where he can do no harm. On Saturday Mr. Mauff, a very nice gentleman at times, at others inclined to bloodshed, and imagining himself some great and unknown ruler, called upon to administer equality and justice to the struggling millions, and other wild and unreasonable things, ad infinitum was placed in the city jail to await the action of the County court. Yesterday Mr. W. H. Sutcliff was jailed, and will also have the condition of his mind passed upon by the county Judge. Mr. Sutcliff is a religious fanatic and crank of the wildest and most dangerous type, and should have been sent to the insane asylum long ago. His freaks of fanaticism have extended back for several months, and for a while he was a perpetual bore about the daily papers of the city, and would have continued till this date had he not been summarily sat down upon. His arrest yesterday was brought about by a series of persistent persecutions he had wrought upon several estimable people in the city. Not by his presence, but by lingering in the vicinity of their homes, peering into windows, approaching as noiselessly as a cat, and appearing at the most unexpected moments. In some localities where he frequents doors were kept locked and shutters closed, that timid women and children might be safe from his demoniacal gaze. The least dangerous of his crazy ideas was his letter writings. He would single out a woman or child that struck his fancy, and following them until their number was found would commence writing long dissertations on religious subjects, and advance the wildest theories concerning sins and sinners, and what was necessary to lead the party addressed to salvation. He claims to be a messenger of God, but the general impression seems to be that he is an emissary of the devil. A News reporter interviewed Sutcliff at the jail last evening, and found him as wildly imaginative as such people generally are. He related instances of his experiences in the Holy Land, which were of the most exaggerated description, and evidently as devoid of facts as a toad is of feathers. He will be taken to the County court this morning and given a hearing, when, it is to be hoped, he will be consigned to a place where he will not molest women and children with his devilish crankisms.

Of his insanity no one who saw and heard him during the trial of the past two days could for a moment doubt. It was visible in every word and in every action. For some time past he has been inclined to violence toward his family, but they have fortunately escaped injury. The verdict of the jury was that he was insane, and Judge Harrington ordered his incarceration in the state asylum at Pueblo.

Rocky Mountain News 9-2-1883 Mauff Mad He is Arrested on a Charge of Threatening to Kill His Family He Hears from Prince Bismarck It appears that Mr. Edward E. Mauff is not to be allowed to rest in peace. For some time past the gentleman has appeared in the public prints on charges of insanity, but has never been adjudged non compus mentis by the courts. If he is insane it requires more than the average judge to see it. None deny his eccentricities. Mauff himself does not deny but that he has peculiar ideas concerning matters and things in general, and attributes his troubles with his family to a desire on their part to secure possession of his real estate and money, who to effect their scheme have resorted to a series of persecutions that would have a tendency to turn the mind and brain of the strongest man in existence. Mauff's family say there is no question concerning his insanity, and that he is as crazy as a bed-bug. On Friday last his wife applied to Mr. Londoner, chairman pro tem of the board of county commissioners, requesting him to incarcerate Mr. Mauff in the hospital, as they believed him to be insane, and further that he had threatened their lives. The chairman would not consider the case until the court had taken action in the matter, and turned the complainant away. Yesterday, however, a new feature of the case was presented, the wife having him arrested and placed in jail on a charge of attempting the life of his family with a gun. Officer Snyder was detailed to 296 Kansas avenue, the family residence, and took possession of the playful Mr. Mauff and his gun. While on the way down to the jail Mauff said he had just received a dispatch from Bismarck to go over to Germany and take possession of that country, and similar other remarks that lead the police to the conviction that he is not in his right mind. Mr. Mauff will have a hearing on Monday when he will be given an opportunity of giving his version of the shot-gun policy he is charged with having attempted to perpetrate.

Rocky Mountain News 7-8-1882 A Cranky Cobbler He is the Subject of Expert Testimony, Which, as Usual, Is Flatly Contradictory The examination of Edward T. Mauff, the alleged wealthy florist, who has of late had so much trouble with his family on account of his condition, was begun yesterday afternoon before Judge Harrington. Strange to say Mauff acted as plaintiff in the suit to prove his sanity. It will be remembered by the readers of The News that Mauff some time ago was released from the state insane asylum, where he had been incarcerated some months at the request of his wife and her relatives. Since his release, Mauff's wife has given the sheriff's officers much trouble, complaining that her husband had threatened her life and intended to do her great bodily harm. The woman finally took out papers to again place her husband in the insane asylum. But when Under Sheriff Farmer and Deputy Linton proceeded to arrest Mauff he pleaded so strongly that they concluded to allow him time to bring proceedings to establish his sanity. At the present time Mauff is a florist, but for years he worked on the shoemaker's bench, late and early, amassing a moderate fortune. It is estimated that he is now worth about $10,000. He charged that his wife and her relatives had conspired to place him in the insane asylum in order to get possession of his wealth. He engaged counsel and brought the action yesterday. P. L. Palmer appeared for the people and Messrs Sampson and Liddell for the plaintiff. The testimony introduced yesterday was very strongly in favor of Mauff. The first witness called by the plaintiff was N. H. Clise, who testified that he has known Mauff since 1874, and during that time had many business transactions with him. The witness regarded Mauff very eccentric at times, but did not believe him to be insane. The witness was asked to explain the difference between eccentricity and insanity as he understood it, and he related an incident when the defendant had thanked the witness for a gift of $50,000. Mr. Clise testified that he had never given Mauff any such sum, and could scarcely believe his ears when Mauff spoke to him thus. Mr. Anthony, the next witness, testified that he has been acquainted with Mauff for twelve years, and had drawn up many deeds and papers and aided him in transacting many business ventures. The witness is a real estate agent and described the place where Mauff lived. He said that he had conversed at different times with Mauff about the sale of his property. He was not aware of Mauff ever having been an inmate of an insane asylum. Jeremiah Porter, a neighbor of Mauff, testifies that at times Mauff acted in an excited manner, and often showed evidences of insanity. He had heard Mauff talking on several occasions in a very sensible manner. The witness did not believe that Mauff was insane, but rather an excitable and eccentric individual. Mauff's family was very quiet and his wife a commonplace woman. The defendant told the witness one day that some men were coming to arrest him (meaning the sheriff's officers), and said he did not want to be arrested. Mauff, in conversation, the witness testified, was exceedingly witty and could keep his listeners in a roar of laughter. Lyman H. Cole was the next witness called and testified that he was a stockman. He knew that Mauff at one time owned a large number of cattle, which he kept near the witness's ranch, down on the Platte river, near Fremont's orchard. He never noticed that anything was wrong with Mauff, but believed that he was a shrewd and skillful artisan, having conversed with him at various times on subjects of business. At all these conversations he was very sensible. Mauff had at one time a long and earnest conversation with the defendant, in which he expressed an aversion to the place, saying that he had been compelled to do menial labor. He was very much excited when talking on this subject. The next witness called was Wenzel (?) Egerer, who testified also that he was a neighbor of Mauff. He had daily intercourse with the plaintiff and was impressed with the idea that he was a sensible man. He saw him often driving a milk wagon, working on his place, or taking flowers to market. The witness several times had occasion to do business with Mauff, and instead of thinking that he was an insane person judged him to be a shrewd, sharp man, but rather excitable and eccentric. Prof. Haskell was called and stated that he had known Mauff for a good many years and during the period of their acquaintance had occasional conversations with him. The defendant's conversation was always quite natural and his statements of facts consecutive and sensible. The witness thought that from what he knew of the plaintiff he was rational and clear minded. Mauff at times appeared to be very much perplexed about business and family affairs, and when in this state of mind he oft times visited Prof. Haskell for advice. At one time he was very much troubled about some cattle matters, and at another time he consulted the witness concerning the boundary lines on his (Mauff's) place and other subjects. He seemed to think that he had been robbed of a large portion of his land. The witness' further evidence tended to show that Mauff was a man of great susceptibility and decided peculiarities. But he thought that Mauff was perfectly rational. E. B. Sleeth was called and testified that he was formerly Mauff's attorney and had seen and talked with him about his business and private affairs many times. Mauff always talked and acted like a sane man, which Mr. Sleeth believed him to be. The plaintiff had some strange whims, but always seemed to know how to transact business. On cross examination Mr. Sleeth explained some of the plaintiff's peculiarities. One of them was that Mauff was always in a great hurry, rushing in and out of offices or houses where he did business, and in fact appeared to be in a great hurry all the time. Dr. F. J. Bancroft, a witness for the people, was placed on the stand by the prosecution with the consent of the defense. He knew Mauff for many years, and his relations with him led him (the witness) to believe Mauff insane. The witness said that he knew Mauff's peculiarities, and thought they indicated a mind that was deranged. Dr. Bancroft on being asked if he thought that Mauff was capable of taking care of his own property answered in the negative, and he thought also that he would not be morally responsible for any act that he might do, criminal or otherwise, on account of his condition. Cross examined the witness said that he considered Mauff a fit subject to be watched continually. T. J. Linton was called and testified that he has known the defendant for a period of ten or twelve years, and had seen no change in him during that time which would indicate or bear out the theory of insanity. His actions were always the same to the knowledge of the witness, and he did not believe him insane, though he thought that he was rather eccentric. Levi Booth knew the plaintiff ten years, and during that time had frequent conversations with him and thought that he was as sane as ever. The witness explained the above by saying that he was as sane now and he has always been, or as he was in earlier years or before he went to the asylum. The witness is positive that when the plaintiff went to the insane asylum at Pueblo he was insane, but since has not seen anything to indicate such a condition of mind. Dr. Denison was called, as an expert, and testified that the defendant, Mauff, had visited him at his office yesterday forenoon with his attorney, Mr. Sampson, and he had made an examination of his condition. He found that no disease of the mind was apparent in Mauff's condition, but he appeared to be weighed down with family troubles. The plaintiff was evidently of an excitable and nervous temperament. Mauff had imparted to the witness his fears that his wife and her relatives were endeavoring to defraud him of his property by sending him to an insane asylum. Dr. Denison said that such fears would naturally excite a man, and perhaps drive him crazy, but he believed that Mauff was not insane. He had stood the predicament of the trial better than most men would. The trouble between himself and his wife on account of religious matters, the witness believed, had a great deal to do with Mauff's condition. He believed that Mauff's brain was perfectly sound, or at least there were no signs that the brain tissue had begun decay. He believed that Mauff's condition would be materially bettered and improved by a change to a lower altitude. He had examined Mauff and found that his pulse beat ninety-six. With reference to his condition at Pueblo, Mauff had stated to the witness that he had been locked up in a cell with a raving maniac and was otherwise terribly treated. The court asked the witness if Mr. Mauff had been restored to his reason, to which the witness answered that he was, and that he is now capable of attending to his own affairs. He believed the pivotal point of the case was a change of altitude, which he claims is necessary to the defendant. This concluded the prosecution's case and the defense was called for. The defense opened with Mr. E. D. Stoddard, who testified that he has known Mr. Mauff for two years, being a close neighbor. He had good opportunities to converse with Mr. Mauff and a couple of weeks ago he visited the witness' house and told the witness that he was crazy. He asked the witness if he knew his sister-in-law in Galesburg, Ills., and charged that his condition was due to the machinations of this sister-in-law, who wanted to get possession of his property. The witness testified that much of the plaintiff's conversation with him was very incoherent and untangible. Mauff charged the witness with being a Free Mason, and said that the Free Masons had been in collusion to rob himinsanity of his estates. Mr. Stoddard said that his tenants had complained of Mauff and entertained a wholesome fear of his eccentric actions. In home matters the witness said that Mauff was very excitable and eccentric. The witness knew of Mauff getting on his barn and lying on one side for a long time, but when a buggy would drive up the road he would hide himself on the other side, being always in fear of being arrested. The plaintiff ofttimes built fences and then tore them down. This was before Mauff was removed to the insane asylum, however. The witness never heard him say anything about his family difficulties and did not believe that he was capable of managing his property. Cross examined The witness testified that he had some difficulty with Mauff at one time and had chased him from his premises with a club. The witness is the owner of a laundry. Mauff at that time came to him and claimed to have a shirt in his laundry which Stoddard said was not so. The witness contradicted himself on many important points. The examination was continued until this morning by the adjournment of the court.

Aspen Weekly Times 11-16-1895 A Courtesan's Fate, Adjudged Insane by A County Court Jury Became an Imbecile Through Excesses Property Acquired in Younger Days All Gone Wrecked Physically and Mentally From Tuesday's Daily - Elizabeth Turner, otherwise known as Mrs. Elizabeth Maxfield, was adjudged of unsound mind by a jury in the county court yesterday. The defendant in this case is a woman with a history, very little of which is known in Aspen, however. Except for that portion of her career which was spent here, her life's lesson might never be recorded. Testimony in the examination made by the authorities did not cover a period extending back over eight years ago. She was a resident of the demi monde district then and continued as such a resident until disease overtook her. As Lizzie Turner she was known to the half world in which she moved. Since retirement to a lowly cabin, there to pass declining years in loneliness and without the comforts of companionship, she went by the name of Mrs. Maxfield. Where she got that cognomen is unknown. The woman's end has almost arrived, and the lunacy proceedings in the civil court are expected to precede by only a few days her death. The evidence showed that for many years she had been subject to epileptic fits. These became more frequent and severe until, the physician stated on the stand, the nervous system was no longer strong enough to get into convulsions. Last May she fell upon a stove while in a fit and burned one hand almost off. But for the timely coming upon the scene of a neighbor the member would have been cremated. Three months ago her mind gave way and it has dwindled until none of it remains. The woman is an embecile, a most hopeless physical and mental wreck. She cannot talk and knows naught what transpires around her. The county court jury which heard the evidence in her case was composed of Julius Reiner, Phil Coll, J. D. Ryan, L. P. Wolfe, J. D. Hawkins and C. A. Strauss. These men acting in an official capacity, visited Mrs. Maxfield's cabin in the alley between Durant and Cooper and Hunter and Galena streets. They found her in a pitiable condition. Friends had provided for her a nurse during the last few days. She was at one time possessed of some property, but this dwindled until none remains in her name now. Dr. Ramsey, examiner in lunacy, testified that her condition would not warrant removal. She has relatives in the east but none in the west.

Aspen Weekly Times 11-30-1895 Sent to the Insane Asylum From Tuesday's Daily. Judge Johnson, in the county court yesterday, ordered that Mrs. Elizabeth Maxfield be transferred from the Citizens' hospital to the Pueblo insane asylum. It was shown by testimony that her mania is taking a turn for the worse and she had become unmanageable. Mrs. Maxfield was found insane by a county court jury last week, but her removal to the asylum was deemed inexpedient until such time as her general health might improve. With better physical conditions, which the court was informed had resulted from hospital treatment, the unfortunate woman has become a raving maniac.

Rocky Mountain Sun 11-23-1895 Elizabeth Maxfield's Estate From Thursday's Tribune In the county court yesterday the matter of the estate of Elizabeth Maxfield, an insane woman, came up. It was under a motion to enquire into the possessions of the woman who was at one time quite a prominent member of the half world, and worth considerable money. It was shown in court that Mrs. Maxfield had succumbed to illness a year or so ago, and the little fortune she at one time possessed dwindled, until now all that remains of the estate is 800 shares of the Aspen Deep Creek Mining company and 17 shares of Bushwhacker. The value of the stock is unknown, but as Mrs. Maxfield is a charge on the county the stock will be sold and the proceeds used to defray the expense of the maintenance of the woman who is at the county hospital. The principal part of the woman's possessions in her better days was the east half of lot Q, block 96, on Durant street, between Hunter and Galena street. Early in the year the woman, to offset an indebtedness of nearly $1000, advanced at different times by William Taggart, deeded to him the property.

Rocky Mountain Sun 11-30-1895 State Insane Asylum Private Institutions Thrive by its Overflow Sheriff Hayes and Matron Taylor of the Citizens' hospital, returned Thursday night from Pueblo, where they took Mrs. Elizabeth Maxfield, an insane person who was ordered committed to the asylum. They had no trouble with the patient, but found the doors of the asylum barred against them, the superintendent announcing that there was no room for the patient. This, the sheriff thinks is getting to be an old story, and complaints are being made by officers from all over the state. In addition to the state institution there are at Pueblo two private institutions for the care of the insane, and these thrive by the overflow from the state asylum. It is stated that these private institutions are kept filled at the expense of the several counties, although there are of course some patients in there whose bills are paid by friends or relatives. The charge at these institutions is $4 a day, and this is the price that Mrs. Morgan, who manages one of them, asked for taking Mrs. Maxfield. The sheriff refused to contract for the payment of more than $2 a day and Mrs. Morgan finally yielded, and the woman was left in her charge. Garfield county has one patient at Mrs. Morgan's under an expense of $4 a day, as has also several other counties in the state.

Aspen Weekly Times (Aspen, Pitken County) November 30, 1895 No Room In The Asylum - Sheriff Hayes Has More Experience with Pueblo People - Sheriff Hayes returned from Pueblo Thursday night. He had gone to that city with Mrs. Lizzie Maxfield, recently adjudged insane, and was under court orders to place the unfortunate woman in the state asylum. When the sheriff got there with his charge, however he was informed there was no room for her, and he placed her in a private asylum conducted by Mrs. Morgan. The price for keeping Mrs. Maxfield will be $2 per day and Pitkin county must pay it until such time as the manager of the state institution sees fit to accept her. Sheriff Hayes stated yesterday that Mrs. Morgan tried to stipulate a price of $4 per day, but that he positively refused to pay it, and told her that he would sooner take Mrs. Maxfield to the Jacksonville, Ills. Asylum. There the cost would be less. From his two years experience with Dr. Thoms and the state asylum authorities at Pueblo Mr. Hayes says he is convinced that there is a collusion between Thomas and the keepers of private establishments for the care of the insane in that city, to mulct the counties who send patients there and that the cry, no room, is part and parcel of the scheme.

Telluride Daily Journal 5-23-1914 Cortez in Wrong Pew The last issue of the Cortez Herald, published at Cortez, the county seat of Montezuma county on Thursday, May 21, 1914, and which reached our exchange table this morning, contained a very unwarranted roast of San Miguel County and her officials. Following is what appeared in the Herald under the editorial columns: One of the smallest tricks perpetrated on this county for some time was when a deputy sheriff of San Miguel county motored in to Cortez Tuesday morning and dumped an old man, Patrick Mayer, nearly ninety years of age, off at the court house to be cared for by our officials, after which he hit the road on the return trip to Telluride. Mayer seems to be wholly insane at the present time and needs constant care and attention. We are informed that Mayer has not been a resident of this county for several months, having left here in the early winter, and for San Miguel to dispose of her charges in such a raw manner looks pretty raw, to say the least. To start with we will say that Cortez is in the wrong pew and that Brown, the man who puts out the Herald, the muzzled sheet without a mission, is off wrong and has put his feet in the mud. For the benefit of Editor Brown we will give him a little information about Mr. Maher, which he possibly hasn't learned in his several years residence in Cortez. To start with Mr. Maher is a resident of Cortez, or Montezuma county, and has been for the past five or six years and possibly longer, and at no time during the past six years has he been a citizen of San Miguel county, not having lived here long enough, and to the best of our knowledge has never at any time been a citizen of San Miguel County. In closing we will state that Maher was a bootlegger for years in Cortez and that San Miguel County does not have any citizens in her confines who are bootleggers as we have a perfectly good, orderly and law-abiding county where no bootleggers hang about to break the law every day in the week and twice on Sunday. Of course, Cortez is a dry community and there are bootleggers galore in that vicinity. San Miguel county does not wish to care for the residents of other counties and especially when they are bootleggers, so we guess that Brown was in the wrong pew, and that the action of the officials of Montezuma county in refusing to take notice of the appeals of San Miguel County officials to take care of Maher shows the officials there to be very lax and seemingly incompetent to take care of their duties. As a result the only thing to do was for San Miguel County officials to put Maher in his own county and let the prohibitionists take care of their own bootleggers, as the law does not require San Miguel county to do it.

Denver Evening Post 5-24-1898 An Insane Grocer Andrew Mazoni created considerable excitement at St. Anthony's hospital last night, and the police had to be called upon for aid. Mazoni is a grocer and lives in Central City. Some time ago his mind became unbalanced, and he was sent to the hospital for treatment. Yesterday he grew very violent, knocked the guard at the door down and escaped into the yard. The attendants caught him before he got off the premises, but it took six people to hold him until the police arrived. Then it was necessary to tie him into the patrol wagon to take him to jail. He was placed in a narrow cell, where he shrieked aloud all night. He was sent to the county hospital today.

He was thereby committed to the asylum and was taken there by Sheriff Hoffman the same day. McTierney is an Irishman who was found wandering about on the prairie near Parker a few days before in a hopeless manner, walking in a circle and gazing at the ground. To Tom Curtis and Pat McGinty of Parker, who accosted him, he said that he was watching those men at work (?) down there, pointing at the ground beneath him. After they had taken him in charge Mr. McGinty recognized him as being a man who, in 1894, had worked for him on the section at Elbert being discharged on account of having epileptic fits. Soon afterwards the man was arrested for burning some hay stacks near Kiowa, but instead of being tried for that offense he was found to be insane and was sent to the asylum, from which, it is said, he was only recently released.

Rocky Mountain News 10-10-1888 A Pathetic Scene Raymond McAteer, a 7-Year-Old Boy, Declared Insane There were few dry eyes yesterday in the county court when Raymond McAteer, a tiny, wee fellow of some seven summers, being declared of unsound mind, was marched off by the deputy sheriff en route to the Pueblo asylum. As told by his weeping mother, the story of the boy's life has been a truly melancholy one. Almost since the day of his birth he has been subject to fits, which invariably tended to weaken a mind that has apparently never developed. On occasions he would become violent in the extreme, smashing up such crockery ware and other breakable material as came in his way. On these occasions he has effected considerable mischief, and his parents were reluctantly obliged to apply for his removal to the asylum. With a view of discovering whether the boy, whose hair is as white as the driven snow, had been subjected to ill usage or cruelty at home (he has a stepfather) The News reporter interrogated him, but so far as could be ascertained from a number of somewhat incoherent statements, he had no complaint to make. It was a truly pathetic scene when the little fellow said good-bye to his mother and grandmother, both of whom wept bitterly.

During a visit on the Pacific coast he played the races heavily and is said to have dropped fully $75,000. This preyed on his mind until he became practically demented. McEvoy was recently examined by Dr. Eskridge, who pronounced him insane. Friends will place the unfortunate man in a private sanitarium.

Rocky Mountain News 1-1-1897 John M'Avoy Stricken Loses His Mind Because of Heavy Financial Losses John McAvoy, the well-known gambler, who was formerly in partnership with Frank Dale, in the establishment over Murphy's saloon on Larimer street, and who was one of the best known men in his business in Colorado and the West, created a mild sensation among the fraternity yesterday by his peculiar actions. He has lost his mind and in a few days will be placed in a sanitarium where he will receive the best of care and it is hoped will be restored to his senses. The unfortunate man was examined by Dr. Eskridge on Wednesday and his case was pronounced a difficult one. He has a chance of getting well, however, and his friends hope for the best. The only known cause of McAvoy's affliction is the loss of money. After ex-Governor Waite shut the gambling houses in Denver, McAvoy turned his attention to horse racing. He was always an active man and no matter whether his business was legitimate or not, he could not stand idleness. Cap Reece and several others became interested with the gambler in the horse McLight. The animal made a great success at Overland park a year ago and money began to flow into the pockets of the syndicate. The horse was taken over the circuit at the head of a stable and continued to beat everything that he met. During the last few months McAvoy has raced his horses in California and his friends say if he had pinned his faith in McLight alone he would have been all right. However, he began speculating and in three weeks time it is said he lost $75,000, nearly all the money he had and the horse as well. His loss had a depressing effect on him and suddenly the news was flashed to Denver that he was a little eccentric. Frank Dale, his old partner, hurried to the coast and brought him back to Denver. He was persuaded to call on Dr. Eskridge and the latter made a thorough examination of the stricken man. He said that he was insane, and while he did not exhibit any signs of violence, it would be only a question of time when he would. The physician advised his friends to place him in a sanitarium where he would receive proper care. A powerful man was engaged to watch McAvoy and care for him until arrangements could be made to treat him and yesterday he wandered about the city searching for acquaintances. He is possessed of an hallucination that he has discovered a patent medicine that will reduce the flesh of portly persons. He has a bottle of water and he endeavors to have every friend he meets partake of it. There was a good deal of sorrow expressed among the sporting fraternity yesterday when his condition became known, but it is not probable that he will be himself again for some time.

John McAvoy, the well-known gambler, whose case was recently mentioned in The News, was also found to be insane. McAvoy has for his pet delusion a belief that he has been dead and has revived himself by means of a powerful medicine known only to himself. He claims that he can die at any time and bring himself to life by the medicine. He also imagines he is possessed of untold wealth.

Denver Evening Post 4-15-1897 Denver Vs. Chicago Mrs. Elizabeth Smith Left the Latter City for a House in Denver In the suit of Mrs. Elizabeth J. Smith against George A. Smith, conservator, which was tried before Judge Le Fevre to-day, judgment was found for plaintiff, no answer being made by the defendant. Mrs. Smith sued to be given equitable ownership in the house and lot at 1341 Evans street, worth $3,000. She is the sister of John McEvoy, who has been adjudged a lunatic, and she alleged that while he was sane he visited her in Chicago and induced her to move to this city on promise that she should become owner of the house and lot named. Accordingly she came to Denver in 1893 and moved into the house on Evans street, but before a transfer could be effected the brother became insane and George A. Smith was named conservator of the estate. George Dale is part owner of the house and lot, and in seeking to effect a purchase of his interest occurred the delay for the transfer. Mrs. Smith, by the judgment, gets the one-half interest.

Denver Evening Post 1-1-1899 Passed Out John McEvoy's Meteoric Career Ended in a Mad House The life story of John E. McEvoy was a brief chapter of ups and downs, luck and ill luck, fortunes made one day and lost the next. His ignis fatuus was the turf and John McEvoy followed it with a passion and faithfulness above that for woman. McEvoy died yesterday at the state insane asylum at Pueblo, an occupant of a cell that to his mind was encrusted with diamonds. Through all his hallucinations he clung to the vision of one horse, the fiery, seemingly untamed Cap Reese, with which in his gem-walled room he won the Futurity, and Suburban and came under the wire first in the Brooklyn handicap. It was Cap Reese that made him lose his mind and Cap Reese was the indirect cause of his death. The proudest of his string of racers, the brown horse played him false at last and McEvoy never recovered. For two years he has been confined in the asylum for the insane. Known from Chicago to San Francisco, McEvoy was a type of the West. The news of his death, while not unexpected, will cause recollections of the man to return to every horseman from the great lakes to the Pacific coast, for on every track of prominence he had been a familiar figure. His home was in Denver and here his friends and former partners remain Bob Austin, John W. Murphy, Joe Gavin, Bat Masterson and Frank Dale. He was never deserted by them, they made frequent trips to Pueblo, saw that his family needed nothing and are now rendering him a last service in making arrangements for his funeral. John Murphy is the man who made McEvoy and this is the story of how it was accomplished: He struck Denver in 1879, says Mr. Murphy, and making his acquaintance I introduced him to Matt Finehart, who was then managing my place, Murphy's Exchange. Needing some one to operate my roadhouse at the Soda Springs, four miles from Leadville, I offered the position to McEvoy and it was accepted. He had come to Colorado from Omaha, where he had been engaged in his occupation of a steamfitter. He was born in Rockford, Ill., in 1850, and learned his trade in Chicago. After managing the roadhouse for a year or so he went to the Coeur d'Alene country and Salt Lake City, but shortly afterward returned to Colorado. His start with horses was made in 1883 when I placed him in charge of a famous horse I then owned, Chantilla, who won the derby at the first year of racing at Overland Park. The horse made the fastest mile ever recorded at the track when a 2-year-old, making it in 1:42 on the half-mile track. I sold Chantilla afterward in New Orleans. When 13 years old the horse was entered in a race for aged horses at Sheepshead and won it. In his day but one or two horses could beat him. The well-remembered Irish Pat did it once in Chicago when by a fraction of a nose he won the race. The judges took twenty minutes to decide it and I lost $25,000 as a result of their decision. McEvoy went to Nashville and other places in the South with my stable and, in all, worked for me up to 1889 when I gave him a ten years' lease on the exchange. It was that that made him. Up to that time he had no money. Many a time I purchased meal tickets for him and practically kept him. Frank Dale took the lease with him and both got 25 per cent of the receipts. In less than three years he was rated at $110,000, the major portion of which was made in 1892. It was when Denver was the liveliest city in the West and one month's profits alone footed up to $120,000. In addition to 25 per cent of the receipts McEvoy was paid $7 a day for dealing. Gambling was summarily stopped in Denver in 1892 and McEvoy bought a stable of horses led by Cap Reese, McLight and Mary S. McLight was a royal-bred horse, a chestnut sorrel stallion. He was purchased from Curley Shields of California, a partner of Jim Carlisle, and, by the way, I saw the horse but two months ago. He is 8 years old and is now the possession of a horseman named Randall, who owns 'Ostler Joe. McLight is at Deer Lodge, Mont., where the state penitentiary is located. He is an opium fiend, and has nearly lost all life. His former owners 'doped' him with opiates and he has never recovered from the dose. A strange coincidence is it not, between the horse, half crazy in the shadow of a penitentiary, and its former master insane in an asylum? After he had purchased this string McEvoy went to San Francisco. The stable was secured from Shields and equally interested was Frank Dale. Cap. Reese made more money than did McLight, but the Reese horse was as vicious a racer as any racer I have ever seen. Because of his peculiar temper he had to be saddled in his stall instead of in the paddock. This was against all track rules, and because of it we were barred from many races. McEvoy's luck began to turn when he went to Chicago in 1893 to see the World's Fair. The best poker players in the country were gathered there, and it was only natural that the horseman should form one of a pleasant little party. He dropped something like $40,000 in one brief game, but he never whimpered. Everything with him kept going back until he was jobbed two years ago. It was the race of the meet at the Bay District track, San Francisco. Odds were 6 to 1 on Cap. Reese and McEvoy stood to win, should his horse be successful, over $200,000. It was afterwards ascertained that his jockey had been bribed to pocket Cap. Reese by pulling him, but the Denver man was almost ruined when the brown horse finished second with mouth open and bloody. Paresis, softening of the brain, call it what you will, set in. McEvoy was insane. He wrote me a few days afterwards probably the last intelligent words he ever penned. The letter was to the effect that he had been jobbed. Shortly after that he backed McLight to the tune of $30,000 when any sane man with half an eye could see that the stallion had no earthly chance of winning. Then he would rise early every morning and rouse the stable boys, commanding them to bring forth his horses in order to allow him to inspect them by lantern light. At races he would rush excitedly to the book makers offering to bet $4,000,000 to $20,000,000 on this or that horse. Tom Mulqueen and Wyatt Earp telegraphed to Dale that McEvoy was crazy. Dale went to San Francisco and brought him back. This will be two years ago next February. He left a little property, some cash and a house, where a mother, a sister and nephew reside and from where the funeral will be held. Well, there is not much to add. Cap Reese, McLight and Mary S. were sold for big prices. There was one thing about him he was a splendid loser. Many a time when he has lost his last cent he would rise from the table with a laugh. On his horses he sunk over $50,000. Poker playing dissipated the rest of his fortune. He was liberal to a fault. He wanted a manager to be always behind him. Strange, too, for he was level headed, a deep-thinker and had a reputation from Chicago to 'Frisco for being a dry joker. May heaven pardon him! Yes, said Bob Austin, he was a thorough sportsman, well loved by all his friends. His only fault was that he played off in reckless betting everything he got hold of. Poor John McEvoy! He had a sad ending after such a meteoric career.

About 6 o'clock Mrs. McCall, who was sent to the hospital about two weeks ago, ran from the building in the direction of Cherry creek, and disappeared in the darkness before her pursuers could overtake her. About 1 o'clock this morning Mrs. Grace Smith, aged 32, tall, blonde, with short, curly hair, dressed herself in a thin gingham dress belonging to one of the inmates, and taking a blanket from one of the cots, rushed through the hall and out into the night, making her escape. On Wednesday night Mrs. Smith came to the city hall and told the clerk that some persons were turning a search light into her rooms on Eighteenth, near Lawrence, and she was afraid to enter. She had a valise in her hand and spoke without any trace of insanity. An officer was sent to escort her home, and she then demanded that the officer remain there and protect her. The next day she was admitted to the hospital. Mrs. Smith was recaptured early this morning. She said she had left the hospital to get morphine.

This morning McClelland was tried in the county court and committed to the insane asylum at Pueblo. It appears that McClelland was struck on the head in descending on a bucket, by a cross head, which it is alleged in the complaint is the cause of his insanity and due to carelessness on the part of the management of the mine.

He had to be locked in a cell by himself for fear of his doing harm to other prisoners. He was given a hearing yesterday afternoon before Judge Morning and a jury officially declared him insane. He will be taken to the Pueblo asylum as soon as trains are running. It does not seem that McCloud belongs to this county, or that the authorities here should be placed to the expense of caring for him, but he is in such bad condition that there was nothing to do but take charge of him. [Another article spells his last name as McLeod.]

He was transferred from the east end with several others about Thanksgiving. He worked all right for three or four days and then began to wander aimlessly around but did not appear to be violent. He is at present confined in the county jail. He breaks up everything he can get his hands on and is strolling around in his steel cage like a wild animal, without a stitch of clothing on him. When he was first placed in confinement he was put in with the other prisoners but he wanted to kill a negro prisoner and had to be placed in close quarters. Routt county is already taking care of more than her share of insane people, and this one should be sent back from whence he came. Mr. McCloud was tried before a jury in the county court Tuesday afternoon and was adjudged insane. He is in bad condition and will have to be taken care of somewhere. The asylum in Pueblo is full to overflowing and Routt county is already paying for two patients in private asylums.

Wray Rattler 6-19-1908 Insane Man Causes Quite A Disturbance This Week An insane man, John McConnoville by name, created a disturbance at Eckley Monday evening when he attacked a man on the street and made threats that he would get him. The sheriff's office was notified and Under Sheriff Jimmy Shaw went to Eckley Monday night and brought McConnoville to Wray. McConnoville is a married man, having a wife and two children. He had been living over in Phillips county near Haxtun several weeks ago, when he came over to Eckley to run a filling station for his brother, who is in California. He has been showing signs of being unbalanced for some time. Under Sheriff Shaw and Frank Bell had little difficulty in bringing him to Wray, but when he arrived at he sheriff's office he grew violent and before he could be gotten into a straight jacket succeeded in kicking several panels out of the door, tore the telephone to pieces, and kicked a few holes in the back of Judge Jennings desk. He was finally quieted by the use of a drug. Phillips county authorities were notified and Sheriff W.B. Bevard came to Wray Tuesday afternoon and took McConnoville to Holyoke, where the necessary hearing will be held and form which place he will be taken to the asylum. McConnmoville is described as being a medium-sized man apparently about 28 years old. Another brother came from Indianola, Neb., Tuesday, and went from Wray to Holyoke to be of whatever service he could to his unfortunate brother.

Leadville Herald Democrat 4-21-1886 Gone to the Asylum Having in custody William Taylor and John McCoy, two men who were adjudged insane by a jury in the county court yesterday, Sheriff Lamping departed for the asylum at Pueblo via the Rio Grande passenger last night
John McCoy was once a man of powerful constitution, and worked about the mines and smelters for years. He drank excessively, and times protracted his sprees for weeks, and until with a managerie around his bedside, he became a raving maniac, and was carried to the jail. Whiskey was what ruined him, and to-day he is in the asylum with a number who preceded him, and from whom he had taken warning. He has a large number of friends here who hope his recovery may be rapid.

Leadville Herald Democrat 10-25-1887 Leadville's Lunatics Sheriff Lamping returned from Pueblo on the morning train, and reports all the Leadville contingent progressing as well as could be expected. Among the number who went from this point, McCoy, to whose escapade in the boarding house, attention was first called, is hopelessly insane. The warden, who has dealt very attentively with his case, expresses his opinion that he will die a maniac
Sheriff Lamping, whose heart naturally sympathises with the woes of others, says that the scenes about the asylum are most touching and pathetic, a large number being lodged there who will perish in its walls.

Rocky Mountain News 2-9-1894 Ruined By the Panic Michael McDermott Driven Insane by Financial Losses Michael McDermott is a lonely and melancholy waif, tossed by a sea of trouble high and dry on the dreary strand of the insane asylum. Last summer he was ordinarily content and as satisfied with his life as the average man. Then came the panic. He had about $2,000, the careful savings of years, in one of the suspended banks. During those days that tried men's souls his reason became unsettled. He has now lapsed into settled melancholia. He is quite harmless and silent except when questioned. Then he pours forth a disconnected tale of no money, no folks, nowhere to go. He was committed for insanity yesterday morning. He has only one relative, a brother in St. Louis.

Rocky Mountain News 11-2-1896 Amid Scenes of Horror County Hospital Is Crowded With Insane Citizens
Thereby dangles a story a narrative showing how well the county doesn't provide for her wheely citizens, and exemplifying the extra labor and unenviable experience to which the hospital attendants are subjected. The county hospital never was intended for a lunatic asylum. Never was built with the idea that under its walls would be sheltered at one time, a score and a half insane, ranging from the white-haired old lady who is simply off at times, to the wild, destructive maniac in whose diseased brain is moulded only a desire to kick, bite, glare and make a large noise. A reporter for The News took in the whole works yesterday, through the kindness of Dr. Simon, a member of the medical staff
The second floor of the old building contains a miscellaneous assortment of the daft, all women. When the top of the stairs was reached yesterday a good scene for the impressionist was presented
This is a miscellaneous lot, said Dr. Simon. None of them are very troublesome, but a good watch is necessary. You notice each has her peculiarity. We allow them the freedom of the hall and they roam through it all day. We are forced to do this, as the ward is too small to allow them to stretch their limbs within. They flit to and fro often not saying a word to each other for hours. Should they be allowed this liberty? Well, not exactly, but circumstances sometimes alter cases. In another women's ward, small and not over-well lighted, stood Mother Shorty as she is called. She complained of being sick and of the cruel treatment accorded her. She is an odd-looking old lady, being very dumpy and wearing an enormous shade hat, beneath which dangles a few gray curls. I'm all right, she cried proudly, d'ye know I weigh 600 pounds? Try me and see.
Old Anna McDonald, a chronic grumbler, sat on the edge of a cot and seemed to be happy for once. Top o' the marnin' to yez doctor, she called out, and how be yez to-day? Shure and I tried The old lady was still talking when the door closed on her. Mother McDonald has been in the hospital for insanity the longest of any of the inmates, having been in its shelter since March, 1894. She is really not positively insane, but old, fidgety, peculiar and peevish. The physicians say they could not keep house without Mother Mac

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. Upon one of these the doctor rapped with the key which he held in his hand. This is old Mother McDonald. She has been here nearly nine years. She is a character, I assure you, said he. Then he rapped louder and said: Hey, Mother, are you asleep? In the dim light which penetrated the cell a recumbent figure on a cot gradually discovered itself. It was bundled up in bedclothes. Only a wisp of white hair protruded. As the men outside looked the covers were pulled down a bit and a pair of sharp eyes and an aquiline nose peered out. The nose peered quite as much as the eyes did. Fwhat's thay matter wid yez? piped a cracked voice, with so much Irish in the accent that it almost smelled of peat smoke. Just a friend to see you, Mother; won't you get up and see him? Why thay devil should Oi be gittin oop? We are thr'ated loik woild varmints here, ye know that well, cried out the old woman; but she scrambled out of bed all the same and stood up and looked out at her callers. Now, mother, don't I always treat you right? asked the doctor in a soothing tone. Sure, thin, returned the crone in a softer tone, it's thay good bye ye air, docther; but do yez dare denoy that we're all locked oop here all thay toime? Her voice was raised again. Oh, well, but we're good friends all the same, aren't we? Mother McDonald shook her head and her toothless mouth wabbled and her brown, bright eyes flashed. Oi don't be knowin' fwhat yez call frinds in this dommed place, said she. But who are you, young mon, that's come to say me? Her keen gaze was now fixed steadfastly and suspiciously on the stranger. My name's Thompson, he answered, giving the first one that occurred to him. Thompson, hey? Begobs, thay's anny God's quantities av Thompson's in the neighborhood av Esky. Where is Esky? Shure, an' ye're not wan of thim if ye don't know that Esky's in Oirland, me ould houme. Yis, she went on, dropping her eyes for an instant and thinking, thay's Thompsons an' Thompsons widin a moile o' Esky. Fwhat yure feyther's noime? John Thompson. Oi don't be shure fwhat was they noimes av thim Thompsons at Esky; but Oi don't raymimber nothin' in this dommed place, where thay blosted divils are ahl thay toime abusin' ye an' shtarve ye to death. Why, mother, don't you get plenty to eat, and didn't you have turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce and all sorts of nice things on Christmas? Nah, ye loi, an' ye know ye loi! yelled the ancient dame, rattling her cage in a fury. Divil a bit av turkey or cr-ramberry sass did Oi git, ye lyin' shpalpeen! Oh, mother, you know you had turkey. I was here myself and saw you eating it. Well, Oi didn't git a dommed sup av thay cr-ramberry, Oi'll houpe t' doy thay blissid minnit! And she crossed herself piously and then swore like a trooper. And she gets her bitters four times a day, too! said Dr. Long in an aside to his companion. Fwhat's thot? Bitthers foor toimes a doy? Blissed Vargin, do hear that bye wid his lois ag'in! broke in the beldame with her eyes rolled heavenward. Some patients across the hall in the consumptives' ward laughed at this in a hollow chorus. A tall, pale woman, with big, deep-sunk eyes and shrunken mouth, who stood at the door of another cell, a victim of melancholia and hallucinations, stared at all, heard all and showed no more sign of smile or laughter than a graven image would have shown. Let's see, Mother, you are now about 80 years old, are you not? said Dr. Long, wisely changing the subject. Oi don't know. Oi'm 80-something Oi Suppouse, but Oi don't know. Where's your husband? Hah! laughed the octogenarian, showing amusement for the first time, thay blaggard's dead an' buried this foive year. Thay blaggard! she repeated, shtuck ahn a half dozen other wimmin. Oi was brought oop honest an' dacent an' for tin years Oi tinded shtore for that divil in Bostin. An' him runnin' afther thim huzzies! Wouldn't you hang a man for that? Both her visitors agreed with vigorous nods. Shure ye wud an' so wud Oi, but docther, she broke off, how about thot howly wather Feyther Miller was goin' to bring me? Why, he was here today, Mother; didn't he leave a bottle of it with you? Deed he did not, the shpalpeen; devil a dhrop did he lave! And the old woman went off into a string of profanity that made the consumptives laugh again and again fell unheeded upon the ears of the statue with the staring eyes. Have you ever seen Lahey? asked the doctor as he and his guest moved away from No. 4

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 7-24-1889 Queer Form of Insanity - Charles McDonald Struck Pay Ore Every Day and Wanted to Buy All the Grocery Stores in the City - In the County court yesterday Charles McDonald was adjudged insane by a jury of six. His insanity has probably taken one of the queerest turns on record. McDonald imagines he has innumerable claims on the hills surrounding Leadville and that the daily output from each is four tons of almost solid silver ore. He told the jury yesterday that he could walk out anywhere on the hills, dig a few feet and find the quantity of silver ore his other mines produced in a day. He desires to purchase all the grocery stores in the city, also, firmly believing he is a Mackey. McDonald has followed the mining profession for several years and the innumerable disappointment met with while prospecting, probably had much to do with turning his head. He is wholly harmless and, it is hoped with proper treatment, may be restored from his unfortunate and lamentable hallucination. He has always been accounted a quiet man but his recent reports to acquaintances of numerous strikes, put him on record as either a lunatic or a person with a wonderful disregard for the truth. Said he recently Sixty-four of my claims today will bring me in countless millions, and this is only a days output. Tomorrow they will double and the next day treble - I can already discount Mackey. McDonald's conduct on the stand was very peculiar and the disconnected manner in which he talked almost proved his unfortunate condition. He will shortly be removed to Pueblo for treatment

Leadville Herald Democrat 8-18-1889 The Asylum Enlarged Charles McDonald, the Visionary Millionaire, To Be Taken to Pueblo Additional Accommodations for the Insane of Colorado The intelligence of the completion of the new wing of the Pueblo insane asylum was received here yesterday. For over three years the asylum, owing to insufficient capacity, has been overcrowded, and many of the state's insane forced to lay in county jails. In Lake county has the bad accommodations of the asylum been severely felt, for many insane prisoners have been confined here for months, ere a vacancy occurred in at the institute to gain them admittance. This has now been wholly done away with, and the increased capacity will admit of over a hundred more. An insane prisoner, so adjudged in the county court some time ago, is Charles McDonald, a miner, who believes he is a millionaire. He will be taken to Pueblo by Under Sheriff Loomis this morning.

Fort Collins Courier 7-17-1907 Death Unbalanced M'Donald's Mind Bridge Carpenter Taken Back to Relatives in Denver After a Night Spent in County Jail Here (From Thursday's Daily) The death of his parents less than a year ago and that of a sister-in-law one week ago, unbalanced the mind of James McDonald, a bridge carpenter, who was taken in custody last night by the officers here, after making his way from Denver on transportation furnished by a grading contractor. McDonald was locked up in jail over night and turned over to his brother-in-law, Charles Buckley, who came from Denver this morning, going back with the insane man at 2 o'clock this afternoon. McDonald was sane enough to realize his own pitiable plight and he gave the officers all possible information concerning his family in Denver. His wife lives at 2340 Logan avenue, but he said she was at present staying with her mother, Mrs. Honora Buckley, 1627 Pennsylvania.

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

Leadville Herald Democrat 10-28-1893 Religious Craze A Woman Named Sarah McDonell Sees Faces of Deities Everywhere A peculiar case of insanity was disposed of by a jury in the county court yesterday afternoon. Sarah McDonell was the unfortunate mortal upon whom the jury were requested to pronounce, and some of the jurists now know considerably more about familiar church forms than they ever did before. Sarah was arrested upon complaint of neighbors, who stated to the authorities that she continually persisted that her lover is the man in the moon, and that he was some one of the immortal deities and waiting for her to come up. She began talking at 6 o'clock Thursday night, and continued without intermission until yesterday. The jury visited her at the jail, and found her engaged in burning a newspaper, which she contended was holy fire. The jury, consisting of Messrs. Joseph T. White, Ed. O. Sapdall, Alvin McDonald, Oscar Emerson, James Stray and Thomas Fallon, decided that she was afflicted with lunacy, and she was accordingly sent to the asylum at Pueblo last evening. The new law requires that in all cases of insanity, where the afflicted is a female and without relatives, an attendant shall be appointed by the judge of the court in which the case is heard. In compliance with this provision, Judge Nash has appointed Mary Kelly as the attendant, will leave for Pueblo to-day.

Breaking away from the guards at the state insane asylum Monday afternoon, Edward McElfee, an ex-convict negro, eluded his pursuers and, after attacking several women, secured a hatchet and struck down Mrs. Mary Jones, whose skull was fractured and her brain penetrated by the hatchet blade. There is said to be no hope for her recovery. McElfee was finally cornered against a house and Fire Chief McCartin called a chemical wagon. Two lines of hose were laid and the negro was knocked over by the force of a 2 ½ inch stream shot at him when he was overpowered and returned to the asylum.

McGrail, residing at Stringtown, was of unsound mind. Deputy Sheriffs Horrigan and Higgins went to Stringtown early yesterday morning to bring the lad to the county jail, and found when they arrived there that McGrail had skipped out. He was dressed only in a pair of pants and shirt and only had a sock on his left foot. He was seen going in the direction of Malta, and the deputies went there, but failed to find the lad. They then went to Evergreen lakes and Soda springs, returning by the boulevard, but failed to find McGrail. Sheriff Ryan telegraphed to Granite, asking the authorities there to arrest McGrail if he visits that town. If the lad wanders into the hills in his scantily clad condition he will probably freeze to death.

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 10-20-1891 Adjudged Insane. A Strange Incident Connected With the Return of a Wandering Man. William McGrall was adjudged insane in the county court yesterday afternoon by a jury of six, composed of the following named gentlemen: John Gibbons, John W. Corner, C. L. Cavish (?), G. W. O' Connor, Preston Rawston and Thos. H. Doan. A curious incident connected with the unfortunate young man happened upon his return home to Stringtown. He had been away five years and had changed in appearance to such an extent that upon returning to his parental abode his mother was unable to recognize him as her son. She told him that she had a son wandering about the country whom she had not seen for five years, but that the young fellow before her was not her son. He protested that he was, but, upon looking him closely in the face, Mrs. McGrall was still unable to find the least resemblance to her long lost son. As a last resort, she told him that her boy had a large scar across the back of one of his hands which had been inflicted with a hatchet during his childhood. Young McGrall held up his hand and showed the scar, which had almost become indistinguishable, and the doubting mother was at last convinced that the young man before her was her wayward boy.

McGreagor, Mrs. R.A.
Fort Collins Weekly Courier 11-28-1913 Refuses To Handle Its Own Insane. Suspected That Patients Are Being Foisted Off Onto Other Counties In State The question is being asked here Is Denver trying to work the counties surrounding it by sending insane people out of the county so that others will have to care for them? This appears to be the condition of affairs on the face of thins as they now appear. With the state insane asylum crowded and notices sent out that no more will be admitted until the quota of each county is reduced, patients must be retained in private institutions, county hospitals or jails. Denver's quota has long since been filled and Pueblo refuses to take any more from that city and county. Now comes the police department of Denver with an order that no more insane people will be taken into the city jails and furthermore that those in the jails will be released to be taken care of as the relatives or authorities deem best. The county hospital in Denver also announces that it is overloaded and cannot accommodate more. Denver papers are commenting on the situation and also make the statement that Mrs. R. A. McGreagor, picked up at the police station Sunday has escaped. The facts in this case are that Mrs. McGreagor was taken to the county hospital in Denver and her room and care paid for. She was allowed to escape or was sent away with the result that she arrived in Loveland last week. The county authorities here were notified of her attempt to operate a restaurant of which she took forcible possession and she was brought here. Proceedings were instituted but there was a shift in the program and on Sunday Deputy Sheriff Halligan took her to Denver. Her husband met the train but did not take care of the woman. She refused to have anything to do with him. Then Halligan took her to the police station. The police refused to accept her and Halligan had a 275-pound insane woman on his hands. He did not hesitate long but went to the county hospital where he turned her in and did not permit a refusal. The papers state that the county hospital is crowded and that if an insane person is accepted she must be placed in wards with invalids. It is suspected that relatives and perhaps authorities are trying to foist these patients off onto other counties. If such a scheme is being worked it will not last long. Most county officials have long since learned the lesson of having paupers foisted off onto them by other counties and they are refusing to be worked. The same will apply to insane cases and patients will be deported to their homes.

Rocky Mountain Sun 4-11-1896 Tax Error Corrected -
A bill from Mrs. L. J. Smith, who maintains a private insane asylum at Pueblo, for the care of Mrs. Lizzie McGuire, an insane patient, during February, was presented. The amount was $90, and $2 for carriage hire. The bill was reduced to $60 and allowed. The institution Mrs. Smith conducts is near the state asylum, and is only one of a number that is supported by various counties throughout the state. Pitkin county has been bled to an enormous amount through these private asylums, the authorities at the state institution turning sheriffs in charge of insane prisoners away, under plea that there is no room in the asylum. The sheriff has no other recourse then than to take his prisoner to one of the private asylums, or return the patient to the county committing. There are instances on record, however, where sheriffs have outgeneraled the asylum management by leaving the prisoner in the office with the commitment. In these cases it has been noticed that room was found for the patient

Denver Evening Post 8-12-1898 Off on Meals John McIntosh Also Hears Things and Was Adjudged Insane The county court this morning busied itself in disposing of the lunacy cases of John McIntosh, Angie Guyer and Samuel Branaw. John McIntosh was recently taken charge of by the authorities of Pueblo and being an Arapahoe county man incapable of caring for himself, was shipped back to Denver. He was charged with lunacy and convicted himself. When court opened McIntosh arose and said: May it please your honor, the loud talk in the rear of this room is extremely annoying to me and I wish the court would see that the disorder is quelled. No one noticed the disorder, but Judge Steele assured McIntosh that the matter would be attended to. McIntosh is deranged on a number of subjects, but the topic that dwells most persistently in his mind is that of meals. He is a crank on eating. He explained to the court that once when he was in jail at Colorado Springs he was almost starved, and this he stated was due to the fact that the prisoners were fed on meals that cost only a cent and one-half each. McIntosh was sure of the figures and offered to prove to the court that the Colorado Springs jail's meals never reached the cost price of two cents. At the Arapahoe county hospital, he said, the feed was even worse. The defendant made a long statement about what a meal really should be, and the jury found that he was insane.

Mrs. Millie McKenzie, Bingham Canon, Utah, patient at the Woodcrest sanitarium for the insane, and Mrs. Sybil Goruz, her nurse, were killed at 8 o'clock tonight when they were struck by a Denver and Rio Grande passenger train from Denver. The couple were walking when Mrs. McKenzie saw the train approaching, and started running it down the track, instead of getting off. Mrs. Boruz followed attempting to throw the insane woman from the track.

Pueblo Chieftain 7-22-1920 Speeding D. & R. G. Train Kills Two Women Nurse Strives to Save Patient -From Death on Rails Near Woodcroft Mrs. Millie McKenzie, Inmate at Sanitarium, and Mrs. Sibyl Voruz Meet Horrible Death Mrs. Sibyl Voruz, a special nurse at Woodcroft Sanitarium and Mrs. Millie McKenzie, a patient at the institution, were instantly killed at 7:50 o'clock last night by a Denver and Rio Grande south-bound passenger train. Mrs. Voruz lost her life in attempting to save that of her patient. From reports obtained last night, Mrs. Voruz took Mrs. McKenzie, who is from Bingham Canon, Utah, out for a walk near the sanitarium. Either they were walking along the tracks, which is against the orders of the institution, or the patient insisted upon getting onto the rails, when Denver and Rio Grande passenger train No. 3, coming from Denver came in sight. Fireman J. E. Conoway of the locomotive, states that Mrs. McKenzie ran at top speed toward the engine while Mrs. Voruz followed apparently in an effort to catch the patient and get her out of harm's way. The pair were completely hidden from view of the trainmen by the high board fence surrounding the Stearns-Roger plant, and when seen, it was too late to stop. Engineer E. A. Slerth put on his brakes, stopped the train and those in charge of the train hastened back to render aid if aid was possible. Trainmaster R. L. Brown happened to be on the train and summoned Dr. Work from the sanitarium nearby. Work identified the bodies as those of the nurse and her patient. The form of Mrs. McKenzie was badly mangled, while the effect of the impact was less apparent in the case of Mrs. Voruz. Officials at the sanitarium state that it is against the rules for attendants to take patients for a walk along the railroad tracks. In this case, however, there is wide margin for doubt, since the only person who witnessed the accident was the fireman, whose first glimpse of the victims showed the patient in flight from the nurse. It is entirely possible that the patient might have bolted and fled from the grounds with the attendant in pursuit. Authorities at the sanitarium state that Mrs. McKenzie's mind was only mildly affected. Mrs. Voruz came here about three months ago, in charge of her patient, whose home was in Bingham Canon, Utah. Neither have relatives in this city. Mrs. McKenzie is survived by a son, L. R. Gibbs, in Bingham Canon. She is 51 years old, according to records at Woodcroft, which give the year of her birth as 1869. The nurse was about the same age. Coroner Luke McLean, summoned soon after the accident, stated last night that an inquest will be held, the time of which is as yet indefinite. The bodies are at McCarthy's.

MacLean has ordered an inquest held this afternoon at 4 o'clock over the bodies of Mrs. Sybil Vorus and Mrs. Millie McKenzie who were killed by a Rio Grande passenger train near Woodcroft sanitarium at 7:50 o'clock Wednesday evening. The head of Mrs. Vorus, the nurse of Mrs. McKenzie was crushed, and the body of Mrs. McKenzie was horribly mutilated. Persons who rushed to the scene state that the train left the place carrying its passengers, many of whom had alighted and witnessed the gruesome results, fully ten minutes before the Coroner or other officials could reach the scene. A number of witnesses have been subpoenaed by deputy sheriff Delliquadri among them some eye witnesses of the actual tragedy. The hearing will be held at the McCarthy Undertaking parlors.

Pueblo Chieftain 7-24-1920 Coroner's Jury Probes the Death of Hospital Nurse Mrs. Sybil Voruz came to her death on July 21, 1920, by being struck by Rio Grande passenger train No. 3, at a point near the Woodcroft sanitarium in the city of Pueblo, in an effort to save the life of Mrs. Millie McKenzie. The nurse disobeyed the rules of more than a score of years standing, in taking her patient to the locality, where the fatality occured. This in substance, is the verdict of the coroner's jury which yesterday afternoon held an inquest over the body of Mrs. Voruz, who while engaged in frantic efforts to keep her patient from leaping in front of the train, lost her own life at the same instant her charge was killed. The wheels passed over Mrs. Voruz' head completely severing the upper portion of the head and face. Among the interesting facts brought out by the testimony were the following: Recently the head nurse had called Mrs. Voruz and another nurse who it was said had disobeyed the rules in taking their patients to the front gates and near the railway tracks, into a room and told them that if they had not understood this rule they must be made to understand it then. The gongs which are located at the sanitarium crossing and at the Stearns Roger works crossing had been out of order and had not performed their functions for a week prior to the fatality. The train crew pulled out with the train at least ten minutes before the arrival of the coroner or the deputy coroner, leaving the mangled fragments of Mrs. McKenzie's body lying along the tracks; the body of Mrs. Voruz had been picked up and carried into the hospital by attendants of the institution. The two women had been outside the hospital gates and at the Woodcroft station, and walking along between the hospital hedge and the north-bound track of the railroad for from twenty minutes to half an hour before the train arrived. Mrs. McKenzie was seen to rush toward the track in front of the train, and Mrs. Voruz was doing all in her power to hold her back. Fireman Conaway, Maynard Clauson and Mrs. Mary Halcob all testified to having seen Mrs. McKenzie rushing toward the track in front of the train, and they all told of the heroic efforts of the nurse to save her charge. Fireman Conaway being on the same side of the engine as the two women were of the tracks had a clear view of the actions above noted, but the train was running at 25 miles an hour and the women could not be seen by him until within 200 feet of them on account of the curve. He shouted to Engineer E. A. Scholer, who knew something awful had been seen by the fireman, and he at once set his brakes and as quickly as they were in position applied the emergency; just at that instant he saw the body of a woman thrown from the track by the pilot. The train was composed of eleven cars, some 70 and some 80 feet in length; the train was stopped in little more than its length. Both the fireman and the engineer stated that the whistle was sounded for the hospital crossing and also for the curve; other witnesses verified these statements. Other witnesses who were on the spot quickly after the accident, and who were positive that the train pulled out before the arrival of the coroner were Mrs. Agnes Sanders of twenty fourth and Main, and Mrs. Beulah Hall of 117 West twenty fourth. These women also spoke of the body of Mrs. Voruz being taken by hospital attendants into the institution. Mrs. Halcob, whose home is in the 2800 block on Grand avenue, stated that she was watching the train from her rear porch and saw two women, one in black, the other in nurse's garb, sitting at the station; when the second whistle of the locomotive sounded, the woman in black seemed to become frightened and ran toward the track in front of the train; the woman in light attire grabbed her and tried awfully hard to keep the other off the track but the woman in black seemed much the stronger and dragged the other who was holding on all the time to the track. Dr. Hubert Work, founder of the sanitarium, was asked by Coroner MacLean if he cared to make a statement. The doctor told the jury that Mrs. McKenzie, who was brought to the institution last March from Utah, came with a melancholy history, but neither by her actions or words had she shown such signs since being at the local institution; she had always been quiet and made little or no trouble since being here. Dr. Work believed from requests she had made not to be taken near the region of the railway tracks, that she was afraid of herself; that is, she feared she would be impelled to do the very thing she did do. Following his analysis of the case, Dr. Work said informally, People do not commit suicide because they want to but because they can not help it. Coroner MacLean stated that a son of Mrs. McKenzie is shortly expected from Utah, and he will not decide until after a consultation with him, whether there will be held an inquest over the body of Mrs. McKenzie.

Breckenridge Bulletin 12-14-1907 Sheriff Detwiler took Joseph McKinney to the insane asylum at Pueblo yesterday. On information of Dr. Condon, county physician, Joe was brought before the county court Saturday on the charge of insanity. He denied that he was insane, and the court set the hearing for Thursday, at which time a jury of six men decided against him. Judge Wm. Thomas served as attorney for the unfortunate man, by appointment. McKinney is 74 years old and has been in and about Breckenridge since 1880. He has of late years been a poor, unfortunate boozer, living scantily as best he could without a home. Now that Doctor Condon has commenced, it is to be hoped he will look after two or three other subjects loafing about town who are worse off in the upper story than Joe McKinney ever was.

Summit County Journal 12-14-1907 Life Drawing to a Sad End The earthly career of Joseph McKinney is drawing to a close. He is afflicted with dropsy, and his mind is dormant. On Thursday he was taken before the county court, with a lunacy charge on the docket. A jury consisting of Loren Chapman, H. S. Hayden, Jack DeLong, William McMannis, Harry Simpson and Mr. Brehmer was impaneled, and after an exhaustive hearing the jury agreed to send the unfortunate man to the asylum at Pueblo, which act was performed yesterday by Sheriff Detwiler. McKinney's life has been a remarkable one. Born in Maine more than 60 years ago, he early came to Colorado, locating in Georgetown, where he discovered the wonderful 7-30 mine, in 1859. He was at Kokomo in the boom days, and has been a resident of Lincoln since 1884. His life is so replete with interesting narratives that a two-column article could not do justice to the man. With all his fancies and failings, he has a legion of friends, who hope he will recover from his present demented state and live to enjoy many years yet; but the chances are far from encouraging.

The trio were accorded the usual investigation before Judge Miller and a jury in the county court and the usual orders made for their transfer to Pueblo. Of the three Aaron McKinnon, an ill-clad, heavy-stomached individual, was the most melancholy-looking. He informed the court that he had no blood in his body and that in case he should again wash his hands, divine Providence had willed that he must die. Elmer Ritter, it appeared, had suffered from fits since he was sixteen months old and has now developed an unbalanced intellect. Henry Williams appeared to have lost reason and everything else worth having. The men will be placed in Pueblo in case the officials of that institution see fit to accord them a home.
McKlear, John
Leadville Herald Democrat 5-14-1893 McKlear is Insane John McKlear, the German, who was hurt by a showman a few nights ago, and is now in the county hospital, has become insane and unmanageable. It requires a guard to keep him from destroying the furniture and assaulting others in the hospital. His insanity, Dr. Crook says, has been caused by the occipitis bone pressing on the brain. Dr. Crook, although he has raised the occipitis bone from the brain, is still unable to say whether the man will recover his sanity.

McLaughlin, Mr.
Denver Evening Post 2-28-1899 His Second Application Ora Wilder Cites an Insane Witness to Appear Application for pardon has been made to the state board of pardons by Ora C. Wilder, now serving a ten year sentence for robbery in the state penitentiary. Wilder once before applied for a pardon which was refused. That was in 1896. In his application he claims that he is entirely guiltless of the crime for which he has already been an inmate of the state penitentiary for four years, and charges that one McLaughlin, who identified him in court as being the robber, has since been adjudged insane. Wilder, with twelve other men, led by Bob Taylor, now in the penitentiary, held up the Florence & Cripple Creek train in 1895. Until he fell in with Bob Taylor his record is a good one. Since his incarceration his conduct has been exemplary. He is 34 years old and has a son 7 years old and a mother.

He was taken into county court but the case did not proceed very far. McLean, although feeble-minded, informed the court that he wanted to be represented by Judge Baker of Greeley, and was not prepared to appear in court. Judge Stover continued the case and McLean was returned to Windsor. The patient is being watched very closely as he has a desire to go away. He continues to ask for a seven-year-old boy and when left alone starts on a search for the missing one.

Carbonate Chronicle 1-14-1889 Taken Back Home John McMullen, the man who has been confined for some days past in the county jail on the charge of lunacy, was taken back to his home near Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania, this morning by his brother, Dan. Some days ago the brother in question telegraphed that he would come on for the purpose and he reached Leadville Tuesday morning. It was pitiful to see the meeting between the brothers one a hale and stalwart miner and the other merely a shadow of his former self reason, health and strength all gone and reduced almost to the level of the brute creation. The insanity of the unfortunate man is attributed to a blow he received on the head about a year ago; but the doctors hold out hopes that with proper treatment he may yet recover the use of his mental faculties and be once more the bright, genial, loveable fellow his friends used to know.

McMullin, John
Leadville Herald Democrat 2-21-1894 Charged With Insanity A man named McMullen was arrested Monday evening on the charge on insanity. McMullen was hammering a pile of nickels and dimes together and his hobby was to buy a second-hand store. His hair was uncombed and he was in a filthy condition. He was taken to jail, given a good bath and clean clothes, and yesterday was feeling much better and was perfectly rational. He stated that he is a miner. As to his conduct at the time of arrest, he could give no account.
McMullin, John
Leadville Herald Democrat 3-10-1894 Work in the Courts The Alleged Wild Man of Oro Turns Up in the Person of Mr. John McMullin There is a legend that exists in Oro, to the effect that a real wild man of the woods lives up in that vicinity. Miners have come down from the hills near there, with the report that they had seen the wild man prowling around in the snow, apparently hunting food. As the story goes, the fellow lives in a cabin in a lonely portion of the hills, and whenever he runs short of provisions he goes to some prospector's cabin, and if the owner is not at home breaks in and helps himself liberally. If he is at home the fellow prowls around the house, picking up what he can. Not long ago a miner above Oro discovered the man in his cabin taking a quantity of provisions from the cupboard. He ran away when the miner endeavored to catch him. This is the wild man of Oro, but the theory is that he is identical with John McMullin, a fellow tried in the county court yesterday for insanity. McMullin has been in jail for several days, and gave every indication that he was mentally unsound. He had secured half a dozen pieces of lead, which he had cut to the size and shape of nickels, and in a rude manner had milled the edges. These he proposed to use in the purchase of a second-hand store. His wild and febrile imagination also wandered in the direction of mine owning, and he reveled in the possession of a magnificent property, the drifts of which ran directly through a vein of solid gold. From the incoherent ravings of the lunatic it would appear that he had been living for many months on the hills, and in his disordered visions he saw all kinds of shapes and shadows visit him. He was on very good terms with the spirits, who told him to get down out of the hills. This he at once did, but when wandering around Leadville, the guardian angels having immediately deserted him on his drawing near State street, he fell into the hands of the officials, and was caged up pending an examination. The jury was not long in finding McMullen guilty of being non compos mentis, and he was given in charge of Superintendent of the Hospital Telfer, who will quarter him in the insane ward for a while. Attorney R. D. McLeod attended to the insane man's interest in the court. The theory seemed to be pretty general that McMullin is the real simon pure, Wild Man of Oro. With the winter's growth of red alfalfa, however, mown from his face, the man is quite as gentle and harmless looking as a calf. The physician's testimony went to show that his iridescent dreams, his shadows and his gold mines all arose from a very simple cause. He was a victim of solitary vice.

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 2-21-1895 Almost Frozen To Death. Patrick McNerney Lies in the Snow All Night, and Found in an Unconscious Condition. His Condition is Very Pitiful. Both feet and his ears frozen-the result of a spree probability that he will have to be sent to the insane asylum. Patrick McNearney was terribly frozen on Tuesday night, and he now lies at the county hospital in a pitiable condition. In addition to this distressing accident McNearney is also pronounced insane by County Physician A. J. McDonald. One of the smelter employees saw an object that looked like a man lying in the snow near the old base ball grounds on Elm Street. Upon investigation he found that it was a man, and the poor fellow was frozen stiff. Superintendent Teller, of the county hospital, was informed of the case, and the man was removed to the hospital. McNearney stated that he had been employed as a section hand on the Rio Grande. He came to Leadville a few days ago, and according to his own story, he imbibed quite freely. He tried to find the cabin of a friend, but lost his way and laid in the snow all Tuesday night. Dr. McDonald found upon examination that the unfortunate man was very badly frozen. Both of his feet, one of his hands and both ears are in a very bad condition. After bringing McNearney to the hospital Mr. Teller worked with him several hours before restoring him to consciousness, and if he had not been discovered by the workmen he would undoubtedly have been frozen to death. Last evening McNearney was resting easily, but he talks very flighty and the doctor states that he is insane. McNearney believes that he is worth about $50,000, and he wants to go back to his home in Baltimore at once. Unless there is a decided change by today McNearney will be tried on the charge of lunacy.

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 3-22-1895 His Body Torn Into Pieces Pat McNerney in a Fit of Lunacy Wanders Away From the Hospital and Is Run Over Scattered Along the Track A Wild Engine Probably Caught Him Near Busk, and Later a Freight Train Still Further Mangles the Remains Was a Section Hand The terribly mangled remains of Patrick McNerney were strewn along the track of the Colorado Midland road yesterday for a distance of nearly a mile. Coroner Nelson was notified of the frightful death of the unfortunate man, and Assistant Howell was soon on his way to the place where the accident occurred. It was a ghastly sight that met the eyes of the undertaker and the railroad men. Scattered along the track for nearly a mile were pieces of clothing to which hung parts of the human body. It took some time to gather up the remains, which were placed in the box and brought to the morgue. The head, arms, hands, legs and feet were torn from the body and were found at different places along the road; the body was torn into fragments, and parts of it were not to be found. McNerney was a patient at the county hospital, and only made his escape a few hours before he met with the tragic death, by being run over by a freight train. On Tuesday, February 19, McNerney was taken to the county hospital in a pitiable condition. One of the Union smelter employees saw an object that looked like a man lying in the snow near the old base ball grounds on Elm street. Upon investigation he found that it was a man, and the poor fellow was frozen stiff. McNerney stated that he had been employed as a section hand on the Rio Grande. He came to Leadville a few days before, and, according to his own story, he imbibed quite freely. He tried to find the cabin of a friend, but lost his way and laid in the snow all night. County Physician McDonald found, upon examination, that the unfortunate man was very badly frozen. Both of his feet, one of his hands and both ears were in a very bad condition. After bringing McNearney to the hospital, Mr. Telfer worked with him several hours before restoring him to consciousness, and if he had not been discovered by the workmen, he would undoubtedly have been frozen to death. McNearney was very flighty at times, and the doctor stated that his mind was deranged, but he did not anticipate that the patient would become violent. The poor man thought he was worth $50,000, and he wanted to go back to his home in Baltimore at once. McNerney has been doing nicely at the hospital, and it was thought that he would entirely recover. That he was still slightly deranged is evidenced from the fact that, about 5:30 o'clock Wednesday evening, he stole quietly into the back yard and made his escape by the rear gate. After getting out of the yard he placed a stone against the gate, so that his escape would not be noticed at once. A short time afterward Superintendent Telfer missed his patient, and a thorough search was made, but he could not be located. McNerney must have started west at once, following the Midland track. It was about three miles from Busk that he met his death, and just how it occurred will never be known. The supposition is that the wild engine of the 3:30 freight ran into him, and soon after the freight train came along and dragged the remains along the track until there was no resemblance to a human being in them. Frank Preyett, the track walker, came along soon after the freight had passed, and it was he who discovered the remains of McNerney. None of the trainmen saw the unfortunate man, and did not know of the accident until Preyett reported it. Mr. Telfer identified the remains from the clothing, and also from one of the feet, which had been badly frozen at the time he was found on the base ball ground. McNearney has relatives in Baltimore, but their address is not known.

Urich, and read to the board of county commissioners last night. She was found wandering on the streets and apparently out of her mind. She had a ticket in her pocket for Canon City, the letter said. Urich advised that Lake county permit an insanity examination in Pueblo and thereby save the expense of bringing the woman to Leadville for examination and then returning her to the asylum at Pueblo. There seems little doubt of her insanity, the letter said. McShane, at the county poor house, was convinced the woman was his daughter, Bridget and wanted to go to Pueblo yesterday. The board will make a decision in the matter shortly.

Carbonate Chronicle 6-7-1915 Desires To Care For Patrick McShane Learning that Patrick McShane, her brother-in-law, had been adjudged insane in the county court here, Satruday, Mrs. Michael McShane, who is the city clerk at Goldfield, Colo., spent yesterday in the city in effort to have the county authorities turn McShane over to her for future care. The court's jury of Saturday has already passed upon McShane's unbalanced mental condition, and the court has delivered a mittimus to the sheriff to take McShane to the insane asylum at Pueblo. No change can therefore be made in the arrangements, it was said last night. The sheriff will probably take him to Pueblo today. Medical examiners pronounced Saturday that the aged miner's mentality is deranged and that unless he is kept under constant care, he is a menace to himself as well as to others. Mrs. Michael McShane interviewed a number of county officials yesterday, but gained no information suggesting that the court's action could be altered. She is the wife of a deceased brother of McShane. She will return to Goldfield today. McShane's daughter, Bridget Anna McShane, died in Pueblo Monday, it was learned here on that day.

When suffering in this condition one day last week he set fire to a hay-stack belonging to Jake Deitrick burning it up and badly burning the clothes he was wearing. For this he was arrested and taken to Elbert and was being tried for criminal action when it was ascertained that the poor fellow was not responsible for his acts.

Castle Rock Journal 5-17-1901 He Saw Things. Man Found Wandering on the Prairie Near Parker Is Sent to the Asylum A man whose name is James McTierney, or McAnerney, was tried in the county court before Judge Palm and a jury Friday and found to be insane. He was thereby committed to the asylum and was taken there by Sheriff Hoffman the same day. McTierney is an Irishman who was found wandering about on the prairie near Parker a few days before in a hopeless manner, walking in a circle and gazing at the ground. To Tom Curtis and Pat McGinty of Parker, who accosted him, he said that he was watching those men at work (?) down there, pointing at the ground beneath him. After they had taken him in charge Mr. McGinty recognized him as being a man who, in 1894, had worked for him on the section at Elbert being discharged on account of having epileptic fits. Soon afterwards the man was arrested for burning some hay stacks near Kiowa, but instead of being tried for that offense he was found to be insane and was sent to the asylum, from which, it is said, he was only recently released.
McVicker, Mr.
Montezuma Journal 7-17-1913 - An insane man named McVicker was tried in the county court yesterday before Judge Downey. He hailed from Mancos and the Yellow Jacket country, his particular hallucination being an expected execution of himself, to ward off which he tried to commit suicide, having assayed to sever the veins at his wrist. Such cases are pitiable.

Rocky Mountain News 12-11-1889 Lawyers Sharply Criticized I believe in God, and that is more than you attorneys who go to church can say for yourselves. You go to hear the organ and be with the rest of the gorgeously-dressed people who go there, but Christianity ye know not what it means. The words were dramatically uttered by Mrs. Rinza McWilliams, a somewhat distinguished-looking personage, who yesterday was tried before Judge Miller on a charge of lunacy. The lady hails from Kansas City, and during the few months she has been in Denver has at various times engaged the attention of the police, the deputy sheriffs, the Ladies' relief and all other kindred institutions charged with the care of criminals and unfortunates. For a time Chief Farley and his men were in a state of uncertainty whether the woman was simply a first-class drunkard or a candidate for the Pueblo asylum. When they attempted to minister to what appeared to them a mind diseased, Mrs. McWilliams simply replied that she would take whisky for choice, but that any stimulant whatever would help cheer her up. And so for a time the alcohol theory was accepted, and in the course of a couple of months the police were obliged to gather her in periodically. On the last occasion on which she was arrested, however, her condition and conduct were of so extreme and diabolical a nature that she was sent to the county hospital. After diagnosing the case and enjoying for a moment the tell-tale odor of the lady's breath, Dr. McLauthlin concluded that he had a very interesting case of delirium tremens on his hands, and if anything was wanting to justify his belief, the female's extraordinary demeanor and a pint bottle of liquor found in her pocket, supplied the necessary testimony. The patient was given the necessary treatment, but after emerging from her illness, the doctors looked in vain for a return of the reason which is generally vouchsafed to a victim of the horrors. Instead of adopting the usual course and swearing off for all time, Mrs. McWilliams appeared to be even more deranged than before. In an awe-inspiring tone of voice she told the nurses that the Supreme Being had visited her in Kansas City and charged her not to cease her labors until she had regenerated the world, and especially Kansas City, which, the Lord said, was the wickedest place on the globe. It was a big contract, she admitted, but she accepted the work with a cheerful heart. For reasons unexplained the Kansas City folks would not accept her as their Messiah, and after suffering untold indignities she filled up anew with rum and came along to Denver. Here she has gone around endeavoring to found a home for colored children with the 20 cents she brought along from Kansas City. Her schemes have not worked satisfactorily. County Attorney Cranston examined her closely about her mission, but in reply merely elicited a rambling statement about the Lord having come to her one frosty morning and constituted her an evangelist without further parley. It appeared that the Ladies' Relief society had done what they could for the woman, but even they were glad to get rid of her at their Home when she threatened a child with a carving knife. She claimed to be the widow of a lawyer who had been in partnership with one Ward Lynn and that she has been the mother of two beautiful daughters and a son who was like a dream, a perfect nobleman of a boy. They are now dead, she alleges. It would appear that the woman formerly lived at Springfield, Ill., where she stated that on one occasion the people kept telling her repeatedly that she was insane, and, to test the matter, she filed a lunacy complaint against herself. The jury considered the case but a few minutes and brought in a verdict finding the woman of unsound mind. She will be taken to Pueblo.
McWilliams, Rinza
Rocky Mountain News 12-13-1889 Local Brevities The county commissioners yesterday appropriated sufficient money to send Mrs. Rinza McWilliams, recently found insane, to Jacksonville, Ill. This action is taken because of the fact that there is no room for her in the Pueblo asylum nor yet in the county hospital.
Meacham, A.J.
Wray Rattler 3-14-1912 Has Improved J.A. Meacham and Charles Mythaley of Green county, Wisconsin, are in Wray arranging for a public sale of A.J. Meacham's property west of Vernon. Our readers will remember the account of A.J. Meacham's condition last fall when he was pronounced insane and taken to Pueblo to a sanitarium, and late reports of him are to the effect that he is rapidly recovering, and now his father, J.A. Meacham has come to take him back to his home in Wisconsin. His father is advertising a sale and will also rent the farm. The family will also accompany the father home and it is thought by his physicians that the climate as well as home surroundings will entirely restore his mind once again, a fact that his many Yuma county friends will be glad to learn.

Wray Rattler 10-26-1911 Hope to Restore Mind County Sheriff B.E. Devling brought A.J. Meacham home from Boulder last Thursday where the latter has been confined in a sanitarium for a couple weeks. Meacham was adjudged insane in the county court on Friday morning and was taken to Pueblo in No. 9 the same day by Mr. Devling where he was placed in another sanitarium. It is believed that a month's treatment at that place will restore his mind completely.

Wray Rattler 3-16-1916 The trial for insanity in the case of A.J. Meacham was heard Monday morning before Judge Jennings. Mr. Meacham was found insane and was taken to the asylum in Pueblo Tuesday morning by Sheriff Hitchcock and placed in the custody of that institution. This is not the first time that this party has been found insane, as he returned form Pueblo something like two years ago, and had been living near Vernon.

Rocky Mountain News 12-15-1882 - Insane Day - The Unfortunates Who Were Adjudged Insane in the County Court Yesterday - The County court room was crowded almost to suffocation yesterday when the trials of the insane persons, who have been in the charge of the county for some time past, were called by Judge Harrington for final disposition. There were very few idle lookers-on among the spectators, the majority of them being either friends or relations of the persons on whom the inquisitions were being held, or mere witnesses. The unfortunates were brought into court about 11 o'clock by Deputy Sheriff Charles Linton. The only one who showed any violence was Ida Strodens, and she made only feeble attempts to tear herself loose from the grasp of the officer. The other three simply watched this demented woman in silence and followed the deputy sheriff with a meek docility quite remarkable. Judge Harrington took up the case of the Strodens woman first. When the witnesses were being examined she appeared greatly agitated and positively refused to remain quiet. She tore her hat off her head and threw it from her and would have torn her hair had not the court officers promptly pinned her hands down to her side. She is only a girl in years and has been in Denver less than three months. Her story is really an affecting one. When Mrs. (Miss?) Strodens came to Denver she was enceinte and about to give birth to a child. Immediately upon her arrival she made application and was granted admission to the home for the friendless. There she gave birth to her child after three days confinement, and soon after its delivery she became delirious. Her condition did not improve any although she was given the best of medical treatment and she was soon a raving maniac. Mrs. Davidson, matron of the home, was finally compelled to take the baby from its mother. The next step taken was to remove her to the county hospital, where she has been for some months. The jury found a verdict of insanity and Judge Harrington issued a commitment to the state asylum. Agnes Meagher also met with the same fate at the hands of the jury, but bore it without a murmur. She is a remarkably fine looking young lady and her demented condition cannot be accounted for by her friends. Harriet Ann Godfrey, the wife of a thrifty carpenter, who has been closely confined in the county hospital for some time, was next tried. She is the woman who some weeks ago drove the lodgers out of the Exchange block with a hatchet. Mrs. Godfrey was also adjudged insane. A twelve-year-old lad named James M. Nevin, who is in a helpless state of idiocy, was also adjudged insane and committed.

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

Evidence was taken before a jury of six men, who were conducted to the bedside of Mr. Meinert. The jury found him mentally unbalanced to a degree necessitating a conservator for his property and so recommended to the court. Judge Rogers then appointed D. F. Ackermann conservator requiring a proper bond. Mr. Meinert has been very ill for many weeks and at one time his life was despaired of. Mr. Meinert is being cared for by Aspen friends. Until recently he conducted a shoe shop on East Cooper avenue.

Eagle County Blade 9-10-1903 Insane Woman Commits Murder Denver, Sept. 4. Driven by an insane infatuation for a man who was already married, Mrs. Kate Flaherty Menier yesterday shot and killed Mrs. Theodore Kruse. The shooting occurred at 9 o'clock in the morning at the Kruse residence at No. 950 West Seventh avenue. The husband, who is employed at the Merchants' Publishing Company, had gone to his work. For some time past he had been followed by Mrs. Menier, who had shown signs of being mentally unbalanced. Kruse was afraid that the woman might resort to violence and had warned his wife to look out for her. Yesterday Mrs. Menier came to the house, where she had been the day before, but had not gained admittance. In answer to her ring Mrs. Kruse left her 8-months-old baby in the kitchen and went to the door. Seeing Mrs. Menier she attempted to latch the screen door, but the other, without a word, shot her through the screen with a revolver. Death resulted about two minutes later. Mrs. Menier made an attempt to escape, but was quickly taken and removed to the city jail, where she was entered on the charge of murder. There she gave unmistakable signs of insanity.

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

Rocky Mountain News 10-1-1894 Evil Eye of a Witch Babble of a Gypsy Fortune Teller Drives a Man Crazy Daniel Meyers Thinks Himself in Mortal Danger A Young Man from Indiana Finds Employment on a Ranch at Monte Vista Where a Wandering Fortune Teller Warns Him Against Assassination It Preys on His Mind Until He Becomes Insane and Starts for His Old Home His Experience in Denver Daniel Myers, a German, 25 years old, is locked up in the hospital ward of the city jail on a charge of insanity. Meyers came to Denver yesterday from Monte Vista, and the story he tells is thrilling. Meyers is a bright-looking fellow, with light hair and blue eyes. He is well dressed and he speaks rationally upon every subject save that he is pursued by enemies. As far as learned yesterday his delusion is the direct result of a visit to a fortune-teller September 4. This fortune-teller predicted an unhappy life for Meyers, telling him that he had secret enemies and that he must be beware of them or meet his death. Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock Meyers stopped Officer Rutlidge at Sixteenth and Larimer streets and asked for protection. Meyers was taken to the city hall and was greatly pleased at being locked up. He told the officers that his enemies dared not follow him to the jail. Meyers says that September 1 he was engaged as a cook on the north farm owned by the Hartford company, near Monte Vista. Three days later a wandering English gipsy woman called at the place. She was short, dark and swarthy and claimed to possess powers beyond the understanding of ordinary mortals. She established herself in a shanty occupied by the servants and her occult powers were at once put into use. Was a Marked Man The gipsy in her own mysterious way foretold the future lives of all the farmhands. All except Meyers were to be happy and blessed with many years of life. Meyers was warned that enemies were working in secret against him. Three men, Mexicans, said the fortune teller, were lying in wait for him, and unless the intended victim guarded himself closely his life would pay the forfeit. Meyers' natural timidity was greatly increased and he went about armed to the teeth. As far as he knew he had not an enemy in the world, but the strange warning of the gipsy completely unbalanced him and a few little incidents which followed nearly transformed him into a lunatic. He became sullen and morose, watching closely all the movements of those with whom he associated with in daily life. He slept alone in a little room off the kitchen of the house and the night following the telling of his fortune he heard some strange noises, as though some one was attempting to get in. Meyers was too frightened to move and lay shivering in bed all night. He did not sleep a wink and the next morning before starting to work he procured a new ax and butcher knife. These weapons he concealed under his bed. He carried a gun and a knife in his pockets and was prepared to make a desperate fight should the unknown attempt to assassinate him. The next week a Mrs. Rogers came to him and said that she heard that some men were after him and that they were going to cut his throat. That night Meyers barred and nailed the kitchen door and guarded the place till morning with his trusty weapons by his side. Cruelly Imposed Upon A short time after, when Meyers' fears were partly allayed, Jeff Clark, Charles Southerland and several others formed a circle in the kitchen and one of the number read extracts from an American history. Meyers was sitting in a corner during the meeting. While in the midst of a chapter Nancy Loughran entered the place hurriedly and asked for Meyers. Taking him aside, she said that she had seen some men watching the house. Thus Meyers, according to his own story, was kept in a state of mind bordering on insanity until September 28. He saw much to confirm his belief that the enemy had located him and was only waiting for a favorable opportunity to cut his throat. He told his fears to his brother, Charles Meyers, and on the 28th they together decided to leave the place and go home to their father, E. W. Meyers of Lake, Ind. Yesterday noon they arrived in Denver, engaged a room in a down-town hotel and then started out for a walk about the city. Dan Meyers was in a highly excited state of mind and he looked upon everyone with suspicion. At the corner of Sixteenth and Lawrence they asked a man to direct them to the main points of interest. The stranger kindly volunteered to take them about the city and they walked together to the new capitol building. This fellow who showed us around acted suspiciously, said Dan Meyers yesterday. When we came to the capitol I was dead onto him. I never saw him before, but he couldn't disguise himself so that I wouldn't know him. When we left the building the fellow whistled and I knew a game was on, so I told my brother we had better leave him. My brother said that he wouldn't go with me, so I left alone. Once out of sight of his brother and the stranger, Dan ran at full speed down Sixteenth street. At Larimer he met Officer Rutledge and he was taken to the station. Regarding the fortuneteller, Dan said that her predictions had already come partly true. She said that I would leave Monte Vista suddenly, he said, and I did leave suddenly. She was dressed in woman's clothes, but she might have been a man. Meyers' brother did not call at the station last night. Dan thinks that his brother is now in the hands of the assassins.

Eagle County Blade 10-4-1900 Another Insane Patient Late last night Sheriff Fleck received a telegram from Basalt to come at once and assume custody of an insane person. The sheriff left for Basalt on the first train. It appears that the person alleged to be insane is John Meyers, a character who has been about Basalt for three or four years. For some time he has been acting in an eccentric manner and must have suddenly become violent. Some weeks ago Meyers was missed from the town and on searching the cabin which was his home Meyers was not found, but in his bed was a dummy apparently rigged up by himself and placed there to deceive any one who should look through the window. Meyers has been missing ever since until a few days ago.

Pueblo Indicator 12-16-1939 - Small Man and Big Excitement - Large Squad of Officers Use Tear Gas to Dislodge Him From His Room in Hotel - Taking refuge in his room in the Minerva Hotel over the Safeway Stores at 309-11 West Northern avenue, Wednesday about noon, Louis Mihelich, a diminutive cripple who says he sustained his injuries in a CF&I coal mine, warned hotel attendants to keep away from his room or else he would shoot through the door. Police were called and a squad of about seven officers, including two deputy sheriffs arrived, but the man at bay refused them admittance. Finally tear gas was resorted to and the fumes caused him to open the window over the pool hall on the east side and he came out on the roof. He was then escorted down stairs where a large crowd attracted by the excitement had gathered. Kodaks were brought into action and the Indicator got several good views of the scene on the sidewalk and street. The prisoner was hustled off to Woodcroft in a police car. The rescue force included Policemen Busia, Roberts, Germ, Blackwell and Horne. Also Deputy Sheriffs Krutka and Knobbs. Mihelich was regarded as an in-offensive individual by the few who now and then engaged him in conversation. He went on crutches and was not known to take in much territory when on the streets.

Fort Collins Weekly Courier 1-5-1911 Aged Wife And Mother InsaneJury in the County Court Finds Mrs. Rebecca Milburn of Berthoud, Fit Subject for the Asylum. (From Thursday's Daily) After a lengthy trial, the jury in the county court this morning found Mrs. Rebecca Milburn of Berthoud, insane. During the progress of the trial, family troubles, dating back for a period of about ten years, were aired. Mrs. Milburn, as a witness in her own behalf, appeared perfectly rational at times, but some of her answers caused considerable merriment, on account of her outspoken manner. She stated that her husband and children were in collusion with some of the neighbors to railroad her to the asylum. Most of the trouble centered about a lawsuit with a neighbor, about five years ago, which caused disruption in the church. Subsequently Mrs. Milburn returned to the church, but explained that whenever a certain deacon offered prayer or made a talk, she got up and left the service, returning when he had finished. She also admitted that she slapped and spit in the face of one of her unfriendly neighbors, while in the church. She stated that she had been dropped from the membership, having been informed to this effect by a letter, but that she did not pay any attention to the letter, as they had not consulted her in the matter. She stated that she had been locked up in her home to prevent her from going to church, and that her husband had repeatedly refused to give her money for church dues. In the course of her testimony, regarding the supposed intention of her husband to poison her, and the accusation that she made against her husband, that he supposedly said she was trying to poison him, Mrs. Milburn said that about five years ago she heard Judge Garbutt tell her husband to take strychnine. She also said that her husband gave some to her, which she took without any evil effects. Judge Stover asked her if she would take strychnine now if an attorney advised her to. She replied that she was much wiser now, and that she would refuse to take an attorney's advice in any matter.

Aspen Morning Sun 4-16-1895 Lost Is Found Miller, the Missing Tailor, at Glenwood Springs Charles Miller, who was last seen in Aspen on April 4, has been identified as one of the inmates of the Garfield county jail at Glenwood Springs. There is no doubt that he is the missing man, as he was seen by several Aspen parties, among them Marshal Billy Brown. Miller is undoubtedly insane, his mind having succumbed to his insatiable thirst for alcoholic drinks. The night he disappeared he had been on a protracted spree and wound up at Glenwood, where he has been incarcerated ever since. Glancing into the tailor's little shop on Mill street it can be seen that he had no intention of leaving the town when he closed the door, for his irons are on the stove, and unfinished work is lying on his cutting table just as if it had been dropped to allow him an opportunity to obtain a lunch. Miller will probably be brought to Aspen and be tried as to his sanity.

Rocky Mountain News 10-4-1892 Dripping With Blood Appearance of a Weak Minded Girl After a Beating A case of alleged brutality come to light at a late hour last night. George Miller, an employe of the Highlands brick yard, is said to have beaten and kicked his 16 year old daughter Flora until she was unable to move. The affair of last evening took place at 135 Taylor street, where Miller lives with his family. The girl says she has been forced to get up at daylight and wash till school time and after returning from school work at the wash tub until night. One year ago last spring her mind became unbalanced and she was sent to the insane asylum at Pueblo. After six months treatment she was discharged and returned home early last spring. Yesterday evening she got into some slight difference with her mother who, according to neighbors, began to throw pieces of iron and brick at her, at the same time sending a younger girl for the father, who hurried home and began beating the girl with a hitching strap with a big buckle on the end of it. This left great bruises wherever it struck the tender back already bruised and raw from former whippings. The girl sank to the ground supplicating for mercy, but the parent is said to have kicked her and finally, grasping her throat, choked her almost to insensibility. Then, when she was too weak to cry out or offer further resistance, he took her by the hair and dragged her to a small closet, shutting her in with the threat of putting a bullet through her brain if she attempted to escape. Not dismayed by his terrible threats the girl left the house as soon as she gained strength enough, but was dragged back. Her second attempt was successful and she succeeded in reaching the house of Mrs. Burr, a neighbor, with the blood streaming from her nose and dripping from her dress. Mrs. Burr had always be-friended her and did all in her power to allay the poor girl's fears. When seen by a News reporter, Mrs. Burr said that when she removed the girl's dress to bathe and dress the wounds she found her back covered with bruises. In several places the skin was broken and bleeding and the entire back and shoulders were covered with evidences of former brutality. Bloody finger marks were plainly visible on her throat.

Populist economy apparently takes no thought of a man's life or reason, but it is great on fees and salaries.

It reads: Miller, Fritz (Fred) From Stendal, Germany, has been in America several years. In 1892 was in Denver with Ed Kent, at 2738 Larimer street. At that time he was a miner. There is but little doubt but that our former restaurant keeper is the man advertised for, as this description of his whereabouts fits Miller's case exactly. The German consul at St. Louis is searching for him, and all hope that it may mean improved fortune for Mr. Miller and that nought but good news will result. Chris Prechtl saw the advertisement and on Monday last answered it, giving all the information in his power.

Rocky Mountain News 7-29-1895 Determined on Suicide Repeated Attempts of an Insane Man to End His Life Glenwood Springs, Colo., July 28 Fred Miller, who attempted to end his life at New Castle on Thursday last, was brought here on the same evening, and on Saturday was arraigned in the county court on a charge of lunacy. The jury found him to be insane and Judge Noonan committed him to the care of the sheriff until Monday, when he will take further action on the case. Last night Miller made a second attempt at suicide by trying to hang himself. He made a noose of his shirt, tying one end to the bars of the cell in which he was confined and the other he placed about his neck. One of the prisoners, seeing what he was about, called the under sheriff, Charles Goodrich, who quickly cut him down. He says he will renew the attempt at the first opportunity, as he is satisfied that it is time for him to die. Judge Noonan will appoint special attendants for him on Monday until he can make some safe disposition of the poor man. This is the fourth case of insanity that has been brought before the county court this year. One of them, Charles Miller, is now confined in the jail at Pueblo, and two others, Mrs. Harriet Osborne and Mrs. Olivia Hyde, are cared for an a private asylum at the same city at an expense of $4 per day to the county, all because the state asylum is so overcrowded that no more can be admitted. Fred Miller is a man of superior education, having graduated at Breslau, Prussia, of which country he is a native. His family belongs to the nobility of that country. He last saw his father at Berlin, who gave him a large sum of money and sent him to South America. From thence he came to this country and located at Chicago, where he speculated in wheat and lost all his wealth. Since then he has lived in the far West, finding employment as a waiter or cook in restaurants. He came to New Castle about three years ago and started a restaurant, in which he had been quite successful, receiving the patronage of the best residents of that town. If a suitable place can be found for his confinement it is thought he will be restored to his right mind in a short time.

By butting his head against the iron bars of his cell he cut his head in four places before Under Sheriff Goodrich could get to his cell. With the aid of a colored man, who is one of the prisoners, Goodrich strapped him to his bed and placed a watch over him for the night. This morning Sheriff Ware telegraphed to Superintendent Thombs of the state asylum at Pueblo, that it was necessary that Miller should be confined in a padded cell to prevent him from further attempting to commit suicide and asking if it was not possible for room to be made for him in the asylum. He received the following reply: There is no way I can relieve you; every cell is full. Judge Noonan made an order to-day authorizing the sheriff to employ extra help to watch over Miller until the commissioners meet in September.

Carbonate Chronicle 1-10-1910 Around the City Miller Taken to Pueblo Sheriff Campbell left early this morning for the state insane hospital at Pueblo, taking with him John Miller for incarceration at that institution. Miller was declared insane in county court a few weeks ago but his removal to the state asylum has been delayed on account of lack of accommodation there. Henry Mayfield, found to be insane at the same time, remains in the county prison awaiting removal to the state hospital.

The circumstances of Miller's affliction were pathetic and the friends of the family are trying to raise a fund to aid his wife and three children who are left practically penniless. He has been employed in the local mines for many years and bears a good reputation. The charity is most worthy.

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 8-6-1894 Taken to Pueblo. Joseph Miller, adjudged crazy in the county court, was taken to Pueblo yesterday by Sheriff Leslie. It appears that Miller's real name was Charles Foreman. His delusion was that he had a brain which ran by electricity, and that he was in cable communication with Bismarck, who was coming over here with an army of 10,000 men to drive all Americans to China.

Denver Evening Post 12-28-1899 Joseph Miller Insane Golden, Colo., Dec. 28 Joseph Miller, formerly an employe of the Denver Water company at its reservoir at the mouth of Goose creek, will be investigated as to his mental condition in the county court at Golden Friday. He was arrested by Sheriff Lake upon request of W. W. Patterson, agent for the company at Goose creek, who complained that for several weeks Miller has been hanging about the place, talking wildly of a force of detectives whom he imagines are following him. Miller is about 29 years of age and claims to have a home in Ohio, which he left six years ago. He told the sheriff that he had a brother, an eminent preacher in Denver, who was said to be smarter than he. When put in jail he recognized a very tough looking fellow prisoner as his brother and explained the presence of the minister there by the curious statement that both had been arrested that the court might decide which was the superior intellect. Miller is harmless, but evidently insane.

Aspen Democrat 4-28-1907 Turning a deaf ear to the pleadings of his aged mother not to engage in a professional boxing contest, Thomas Miller, aged 21 years, last night entered the ring with Samuel Irons and in the second round received a blow from which he died a short time later. As a result Mrs. Miller is almost insane with grief and it is feared she will lose her mind. Since informed of her son's tragic death she has been delirious and the shock to her nervous system may terminate fatally. In was a solar plexus blow that brought the scheduled 20-round bout to a sudden end. According to the physicians the injury was sustained in the second round and although put out Miller was saved by the gong, recuperated during the minute's rest and again came to the scratch on the third round. He was even stronger than before until near the end of the session a blow lifted him off his feet and hurled him into the audience, He was unconscious for several minutes but was finally revived and it was thought was none the worse for his experience. "I am all right now", he said and attempted to get up to walk to his dressing room when he gasped and fell over dead. Irons, who is 21 years old, has been arrested but probably will not be held as it is the general opinion that the death was purely accidental. The affair was one of the most pathetic in the history of the country and the families of both young men have the sympathy of the entire community. Although a miner, Miller had the appearance and manner of a boy and was one of the most popular young men in the camp. He had been fond of boxing since he was big enough to put on a glove and was recognized as clever. He was the pride of the Walsen mine, where his father is foreman.

Rocky Mountain News 8-9-1896 Mad At Housecleaning There were three more insanity cases before Judge Steele yesterday, in two of which the patients were ordered committed to the state asylum and the other was found to be sane
Theresa Miller, who has been in the asylum before, was charged by her husband with having a violent and ungovernable temper, and with having threatened to kill her husband. When Mrs. Miller was placed on the stand she admitted that she got angry at times, but claimed there was occasion for it and she was not a bit sorry. She said her husband always gave her his wages, but kicked when she spent it for necessaries, though she said she bought what she wanted just the same. She claimed all the trouble came from outside interference in her affairs and that she had had to tell her mother to mind her own business and to throw her sister out of the house for talking too much. She said her sister wanted her to do just as she did and witness was nobody's twin sister that she had to follow in her footsteps. She said she had been in an asylum three months, after the birth of her child, but was as sane as her questioner. She said the neighbors had conspired against her because she lived further up on the hill and we were getting a little bit too polished for them. When I told them we were going to build an addition to our house they said if we were getting so smart there must be a little green in our heads. The jury found Mrs. Miller not to be dangerously insane and she was released.

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

Numbering System Was in Vogue Years Ago Representative Bell asked if there had ever been a system for numbering of the inmates and the witness answered, Yes. Moses Millsap was the first patient ever admitted into the asylum. He was known as No. 1. This rule was continued in book A, but was dropped when another book was opened up. There was no system of numbering the patients after the first few years.

Denver Daily Times 9-22-1877 When the Rio Grande freight train came in this morning the conductor reported a lunatic locked up in a box car. The man came through from Atchison on a first-class ticket. He made no disturbance on the way up, though he talked rather queerly, the conversation taking a religious turn. He said that he had been in an insane retreat at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and that he had lived in Denver. When the train arrived at Castle Rock he got off, supposing that it was Denver but was easily induced to go back. He became quite restless, however, and the conductor watched him closely, fearing that he would jump from the train. Just before the train reached Littleton, he came into the caboose and requested permission to pray, which was granted. He then tried to involve the conductor in a religious discussion , which was respectfully declined. I.P. Van Wormer was on the train, and to him the lunatic addressed himself, requesting him to pray for him. This effort failed, and probably disgusted at his failure in the religious line, and seeing a church a short distance off, he jumped from the train and made for the church. The conductor and another man followed in pursuit, and overtaking him, by xoaxing and pushing, got him within a short distance of the train, when he stopped, and becoming quite violent, the men were compelled to throw him down and carry him. He was locked in a box car and soon afterward the conductor found that he had cut a large hole in the door. The knife blade protruded and the conductor broke it off with a stick. On the arrival of the train the police were notified, and after a slight struggle succeeded in securing him, and transferring him to an express wagon, when he was driven to the jail. The officers recognized him as a man named Millsapp, who about a year and a half ago astonished the people of West Denver by running in a nude state about the streets. After Millsapp had become somewhat quieted at the jail, he told the officers that he had escaped from the asylum some time last spring. His shirt was all in tatters from his efforts to get out of the freight car, and away form the officers. He has a wife and family in West Denver, and will be sent back to the asylum in a short time.

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

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

Fort Collins Weekly Courier 1-30-1902 Almost A Tragedy A Crazy Italian Attempts to Take the Lives of Sheriff Cross and a Denver Detective. Last Friday afternoon a demented Italian drew a double barreled shot gun on Detective Sanders of Denver, and sheriff Cross of this county, and snapped both barrels at them. Providentially the cartridges failed to explode and a tragedy was averted. The Circumstances are about as follows: Early last Thursday morning Sheriff Cross, accompanied by Detectives Carberry and Sanders of Denver, left town in search of the man whose actions and appearance led many to believe he was the brutal murderer of the boy, Harold Fridborn, who was stricken down with an axe and killed December 13, in Denver while endeavoring to protect his sister from a criminal assault by the ruffian. The man they were after was seen in Bellvue on Tuesday and an attempt was made to arrest him by citizens of that town but it failed. He traveled north from Bellvue and the sheriff and the Denver officers scoured the country between Laporte and Boxelder in hopes of getting some trace of him. They staid Tuesday night at J. E. Roberts place and the next morning drove west to the Tie Siding road, notifying all the ranchmen to be on the outlook for the stranger. Turning south they drove to Sloan's place where they met Fred Bear and Geo. Nightingale, who told the sheriff and detectives that the man they were looking for was in hiding in Six Mile canon some thirty miles northwest of this city. Retracing their steps they drove to the mouth of Six Mile canon where they hitched the team and proceeded up the canon on foot. They had not gone far before discovering the object of their search warming his hands at a fire he had built in the mouth of a cavern in the rocks. At this point the pursuers divided their forces, Mr. Carberry going around to the left to get in the rear of the suspect and thus cut off his escape in that direction, and Detective Sanders and Sheriff Cross heading straight for the cave. When within a short distance of the cave the suspect discovered them and, recognizing Mr. Sanders, dodged behind a rock. When told to throw up his hands and surrender the suspect replied that he would not be taken alive, then resting his gun on the rock he snapped both barrels at the officers, neither of the cartridges exploding. Finding he could not defend himself with his shot gun and fearing he would be taken, the fellow shot himself under the chin with a revolver. The ball broke his jaw in three places and lodged under the left eye. Supposing this shot to be aimed at him
as he could only see the top of the suspects head-Officer Sanders sent a rifle ball at him, the fellow's head dropping down on his breast just in time to escape being hit as a result of self inflicted injuries. At this moment Officer Carberry pounced upon the suspect and took him into custody. After binding up the fellow's face and head the best they could the officers started for Fort Collins, arriving here a little after seven o'clock in the evening. Officers Carberry and sanders felt sure they had the Fridborn murderer as he answered to the descriptions given of him and because the suspect seemed in mortal terror of being lynched when he got to Denver. The fellow was taken to Denver on Saturday morning's train. Here it was learned that the suspect's name was Tomasso Minci and that his home was in Central City, also that he was at his home at that place on the night the murder was committed so that he could not be guilty of that deed. His friends say that he is a half-witted, harmless fellow, subject at times to aberrations of the mind. Thus ends a sensation that kept people guessing several days, and Fridborn murderer is still at large.

Durango Democrat 1-26-1902 Fridborn Murderer Insane The Italian Captured at Belleview Landed in Jail by Denver Detectives Denver, Colo., Jan. 25. Detectives Carberry and Sanders this morning brought here the man captured yesterday in Larimer county and suspected as being the Fridborn murderer. The man's self-inflicted wound is very serious. His jaw is fractured in three places and his tongue is torn out. Police Surgeon Harpley expresses the belief that the man is hopelessly insane. He is an Italian and gives his name as Tomaso Minci. He wrote answers to Chief Armstrong's questions in Italian, which was translated by an interpreter. Said he was 43 years old and has a wife and two children in Italy. He denied the Fridborn murder. Most of his answers were unintelligible. The man was sent to the county hospital, and will not be confronted by Florence Fridborn until his recovery. Later Through the efforts of Dr. Joseph Cuneo, Italian counsel, it was learned tonight that Tomaso Minice the man who was arrested in Larimer county yesterday after a desperate fight and attempt at suicide, has been for years a miner at Central City, Colo., and that he recently went insane. He is said to have eluded his friends and left Central last Wednesday. He believed that he was being hunted and his efforts to escape imaginary pursuers directed suspicions towards him. Mincie was brought here this morning. His wound is a serious one.

Summit County Journal 7-27-1895 About nine o'clock Tuesday night a fire alarm was sounded and the fire boys turned out in double quick time. It appears that George Mitchell, had been arrested during the day charged with lunacy and was placed in the jail for safe keeping until morning when he could be tried as to his sanity. He was not relieved of his matches and smoking material when incarcerated and wishing to get out he apparently started the fire to attract attention which he did almost too late, for when the firemen arrived the bedding in the cell occupied by him was on fire and the cell filled with smoke and flames and he was almost suffocated. The door was opened by M. E. Conrad and Mr. Mitchell yanked out of the cell in a hurry. The only damage done was in burning the bedding in his cell. A few more minutes would have proven fatal to Mr. Mitchell, as he was nearly suffocated when he was taken out.

Sunday morning he went to the farm house and while talking to Mrs. Jolly suddenly became angered and attacked her. In fighting him off Mrs. Jolly in some manner got her thumb between his teeth and not until they had taken a hammer and smashed out his front teeth could they make him let go, but by that time the thumb had been severed. Sheriff Burden was sent for and the man was brought to the county jail. Since that time he has grown worse and has destroyed every thing loose in the cell. A sanity commission which sat Wednesday declared him insane and he was committed to the asylum at Pueblo. Wednesday he made an attempt to break away from the sheriff and before he was subdued it took the united efforts of several of the court house employees. He was taken to Pueblo Thursday.

Wray Rattler 9-12-1918 George McConnel and Mrs. R.F. Davis left this morning with two patients, one Mrs. Margaret Mitchel of Yuma, to be placed in Woodcroft Hospital, and the other Mrs. Alice Whitmore of Kirk, committed to the Insane Asylum. The latter is helplessly insane. The former, Mrs Mitchell, who has been residing with her husband in Yuma, for several months, was sent to Wray Monday suffering with mental derangement, resulting from epilepsy, accented by domestic trouble and physical weakness. After examination by the lunacy board, and an adjustment of the family difficulties, she was sent back to Yuma. On Wednesday, however, there was a violent occurrence of the mental disturbance, and on advice of the Yuma doctors, she was returned to Wray to the County Court, and after a re-examination of the patient it was thought best to commit her for a time to Woodcroft for observation and treatment. It is expected that a few weeks rest and attention will fully restore her to health.

Aspen Weekly Times 10-12-1889 An Insane Mother Special Correspondence. Carbondale, Colo., October 9. Mrs. Mitchell's insanity is now unquestioned. For the last five days she has been a raving maniac. The greater part of the time she will allow no one except her husband and a few intimate friends to come to the house. Mr. Mitchell has worked all the time with her and is almost completely worn out. Yesterday morning was his first time away from the house. She seems to be gradually growing worse. She will eat nothing except what her husband cooks and positively refuses to take any medicine, for fear of poison. She accuses all the neighbors of trying to poison her and claims she has had a divine revelation that a number of parties are conspiring to steal her little girl. Her husband has now given up all hope and says he will have to send her away. She took her baby out Monday morning and bathed its feet in the ditch water for nearly a half hour, until the little one's feet were nearly frozen. Then she took it to the corral with her and milked about a pint of milk and poured it down the child. Just then a neighbor passed and she told him her child had been poisoned and that she was giving it milk, for that was a good antidote.

20 August 1890 Avalanche (Carbondale, Garfield County) Local and Personal - Mrs. W.J. Mitchell, the wife of our ice man, has been acting very strangely lately, and she has caused the neighborhood in which she lives considerable annoyance. Mr. Mitchell has cared for her every way he could, but her case is such that she must be sent to the insane asylum if recovery is desired by him. It is useless to further delay the proper treatment for this case, and Mr. M. must in justice to his neighbors, ask the county judge to examine her case.

Rocky Mountain News 10-7-1889 A Strange Case of Insanity Carbondale, Colo., Oct. 6 Mrs. Mitchel, the wife of our dairyman, was stricken several times in the last few days with temporary insanity. It is of a very queer nature. It seems that about five years ago at her first confinement her head was slightly deranged for a short time. There was talk at the time of putting the child under the care of a guardian until she was better. Being in the condition she was she got it into her head that some one was conspiring to steal the child and after she became sane she remembered the circumstance and never would admit that it was all imagination. The child is now some 5 years of age and she always keeps a sharp lookout for it yet. She will appear perfectly sane in every respect and while engaged in conversation she will immediately drop the subject and in a short time will accuse the one she is talking with of conspiring to steal the child. When she is left alone again for a short time she becomes perfectly sane and while she is in this condition she is very reticent. She seldom ever speaks unless spoken to. Then she will answer and go ahead and attend to her own business. She positively refuses to receive medical aid and for that reason the strange freak is allowed to follow its own course.

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.

Fort Collins Weekly Courier 5-17-1905 College Professor Attempts Suicide Stricken with insanity, the worst malady known, resulting from anxiety and overwork, Professor Karl Moench instructor in German, French and Spanish languages at the state agricultural college, attempted to take his own life on Tuesday morning by taking an overdose of laudanum. Fortunately his mad act was discovered just in time to prevent fatal results. Physicians were promptly summoned and with great exertion were successful in prolonging the demented man's life. Professor Moench was taken to the Fort Collins hospital where he is being held pending an examination for insanity, which will be conducted in the county court on Wednesday, May 17. His friends fear that he is hopelessly insane, although every effort will be made to bring his mind back to its normal condition. He will probably be placed in some private institution for the treatment of insanity in the hope that freedom from care and work and the employment of a scientific course of treatment may restore his mental health. Prof. Moench came to the agricultural college last fall shortly after recovering from a severe illness and immediately plunged into hard work both at the college and as instructor of several private classes in modern languages. This overwork brought on mental derangement which his friends fear will be permanent. It is sad indeed that a man of such brilliant attainments and great usefulness in the world should lose his mind and become a raving maniac, but it shows that there is a limit to the endurance of the mind as well as the body. The sympathy of the entire community goes out in unmeasured quantity to Prof. Moench's sorely afflicted family and friends.

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

Rocky Mountain News 11-2-1896 Amid Scenes of Horror County Hospital Is Crowded With Insane Citizens
Thereby dangles a story a narrative showing how well the county doesn't provide for her wheely citizens, and exemplifying the extra labor and unenviable experience to which the hospital attendants are subjected. The county hospital never was intended for a lunatic asylum. Never was built with the idea that under its walls would be sheltered at one time, a score and a half insane, ranging from the white-haired old lady who is simply off at times, to the wild, destructive maniac in whose diseased brain is moulded only a desire to kick, bite, glare and make a large noise. A reporter for The News took in the whole works yesterday, through the kindness of Dr. Simon, a member of the medical staff
The second floor of the old building contains a miscellaneous assortment of the daft, all women. When the top of the stairs was reached yesterday a good scene for the impressionist was presented
Women Without Minds Clarinda Montgomery, Clara Wilson and Alice Farrell muttered under their breath when saluted. This is a miscellaneous lot, said Dr. Simon. None of them are very troublesome, but a good watch is necessary. You notice each has her peculiarity. We allow them the freedom of the hall and they roam through it all day. We are forced to do this, as the ward is too small to allow them to stretch their limbs within. They flit to and fro often not saying a word to each other for hours. Should they be allowed this liberty? Well, not exactly, but circumstances sometimes alter cases.

Montgomery and the mother of several children, was brought in from Lake park by Under Sheriff Baker and lodged in the women's department of the county jail, charged with insanity. The complaint made by her husband states that she is violent at times and he fears for the safety of his children, the youngest of which is about three years of age. Several years ago Mrs. Montgomery was an inmate of the insane asylum at Lincoln, Nebraska, from which she was discharged in the belief she was cured. She had a hearing before a jury in Judge Mills' court this morning and being adjudged insane was committed to the state asylum at Pueblo. The case is a very sad one, as up to within a few days she has been very much attached to her youngest child. Suddenly, her affection changed to aversion and she left no opportunity pass to misuse the little one to the extent that the father became alarmed for its safety.

Colorado Springs Free Press 2-19-1964 - Judge Finds Montino Insane; To Hospital - John C. Montino, charged with first-degree murder, was found insane Tuesday on a verdict directed by District Judge David W. Enoch. Judge Enoch ordered Montino committed to the Colorado State Hospital, Pueblo. The jury returned the verdict of insanity after hearing testimony by Dr. Harold C. Hobbs and Dr. Richard L. Conde of Brady Hospital. Dr. Hobbs said Montino has extensive brain damage and that he believed the defendant to be so mentally deranged as to be unable to distinguish right from wrong and to refrain from doing the wrong. He said he believes the brain damage to be of a permanent nature and that treatment should control it to a degree but will not correct it. It is, he said, of "slowly increasing severity which has probably been present for a long period of time." Dr. Conde testified that he feels Montino suffers from such a degree of organic brain disease he was not competent under the law either at the time of the alleged commission of the crime or now. He said Montino is suffering from "slow gradual increasing deterioration." Montino, 50, Fountain, was charged with beating his common law wife, Mrs. Maria Nunez, to death on Jan. 1 with a metal chair leg at their home on the Janitell Ranch.

Carbonate Chronicle 1-6-1919 Lunacy Commission Examines Two Guadalupe Montoya, 36, the Mexican who slashed Sheriff Schraeder several times on the face December 28 when the sheriff accosted him in Finntown to take him to a hospital, was declared to be insane yesterday by the county lunacy commission, Drs. A. J. McDonald and M. A. Jeannotte sitting, and was ordered by County Judge O'Mahoney to be taken to the state hospital at Pueblo. Montoya, who is also called Jose Montoya, has been employed on the Rio Grande railroad section. On November 19, he caused trouble at the City emergency hospital when he was taken there by Undersheriff Murray and Deputy Sheriff Frank Simmons, who believed he was sick with influenza when they found him in Stringtown. At that time he went on a rampage and terrorized the patients. He had to be removed to the county jail, where it was later found that he was not suffering from influenza. On December 28 he terrorized inhabitants of Finntown, to which he had wandered, with the result that Sheriff Schraeder was called to take him in charge. He was taken in custody only after he had fought wildly with a knife and his hands. County Attorney H. R. Pendery appeared at the examination for the county and Attorney Frank E. Purpie as guardian ad litem for Montoya. Robert White, 22, son of Kirk White, a well known mining man, who suffered an injury on his head years ago, was found by the commission to be mentally unbalanced yesterday morning. It was recommended that he be cared for at an institution suitable for the purpose, and order was given to take him to a sanitorium at Pueblo. The examination of the young man was begun Friday evening and completed yesterday morning.

Sheriff Schraeder recommended such action in the county court after taking Montoya in custody Saturday, and a complaint was entered yesterday to bring about the investigation.

County Commissioner S. B. Crosby and Deputy Sheriff John Murray brot Monyon to Leadville yesterday from Bromley, beyond Twin Lakes. He is being cared for at the county jail. W. J. Buchanan, a citizen of Twin Lakes, notified the county authorities of Monyon's alleged strange conduct Wednesday. Crosby and Murray started for the Twin Lakes country, Wednesday afternoon, putting up for the night at Twin Lakes. Monyon had taken quarters at Fred Stiffler's cabin above Bromley several days ago. The two men drove to this cabin yesterday morning in a sleigh. They found Monyon sitting by a kitchen range in which he had built an immense fire. He had all of the six stove lids removed and heaped on the for (floor?), while the smoke from the fire poured upward to the ceiling. When Stiffler abandoned his miner's cabin for the winter to come to Leadville, he left a large quantity of provisions stored there, he said yesterday. Monyon had looked into most of the stores, the county men said, and had kept himself well fed. Both expressed their belief that the aged Frenchman is mentally unbalanced. Residents of Twin Lakes are not familiar with Monyon, it was said. They believe, however, that he came to the district from Aspen, making the journey on foot. His strange actions about the lake village before taking to the hills were said to have made them suspicious of his condition.

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

Moore, a chronic morphine fiend, was on trial for alleged insanity before Judge Steele yesterday afternoon. Moore testified that he could not control his cravings for the drug and said that he had not been without its influence for two years past. When I was younger I was as truthful a man as you ever saw, he said, turning toward the court, but while I am under the influence of morphine I can't tell the truth to save myself. I know when I am telling a lie, but simply can't help it. I was at the county hospital for some time and they told me there that it would take two years to cure me. Why, the night I left that institution, I started to walk out to a ranch and got lost on the prairie along Cherry creek on ground with which I was perfectly familiar. Four witnesses were examined who testified that the only hope for the man was confinement for a proper period of time until the brain would get back to normal condition. The jury, after short deliberation, adjudged Moore insane.

Denver Evening Post 2-23-1898 R. B. Moore Insane Jury So Condemns Him Said to (Be) Very Wealthy Richard B. Moore of this city, was adjudged insane this afternoon by a jury in the county court. He has lived here since 1880 and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Swem, makes the complaint. For the last week he has been confined in the county hospital and is very violent. He appeared in court handcuffed, and volubly talked all the time. His malady is caused by a general breaking down of the system. He claims the doctors tortured his wife at the birth of his last child. It has been said of Moore that he possesses an estate in Toledo, Ohio, appraised at $700,000, which was his father's, but which has not been in his control. Moore's mania has been extravagance and he has spent, his wife's relatives say, $11,000 in three weeks.

Rocky Mountain News 6-12-1890 Declared Insane Three men who have been charges on the county for some time past were yesterday declared lunatics before Judge Miller and a jury in the county court, and were ordered to be taken to the state lunatic asylum at Pueblo. They were Charles Moran, Frederick Schroeder and Robert Swainson. Moran was a religious fanatic. He is possessed of the hallucination that he is God and that he has been sent here to banish sin. Schroeder until very recently was a regular attendant at the court house. He made its corridors his headquarters. A disease from which he has been suffering for several years has affected his brain. Swainson is effected with melancholia. He shot himself some time ago in an attempt to commit suicide, and his great desire seems to be to attempt this act again. All three men were taken to Pueblo last night.

Morey was brought into the city hall yesterday morning by Sergeant Bohanna suffering from insanity. He was found on the corner of Eighth and Wyncoop streets dancing a jig in front of a store. He was well dressed and papers found in his possession show he comes from Pueblo where he has been in business. When placed in the hospital the first thing he did was to wash himself and shine up the radiators and scrub the floor, creating much amusement. He will be held until some of his friends in Pueblo can be heard from.

Wednesday morning of this week he came to the city with a load of produce, sold the same, and made arrangements to bring several more. He returned with a second load yesterday, left his team standing on the street and a note for his mother, telling her that he was going away, and he had not been heard of until arrested in Denver to-day. This is the second attack of insanity for Morey. He was discharged from an asylum over a year ago, and was thought cured. His family are frantic.

This afternoon, however, it was found that Mrs. Morey was at a house on the outskirts of the city in a pitifully nervous and hysterical condition. She was well cared for and is now in the hands of friends. Her wanderings were due to mental aberration of very distressing character. Mr. Morey himself, whose partial lunacy from financial troubles was the cause of his wife's derangement, was also on the rampage last night. Mrs. Morey's disappearance threw him into another fit of despondency, and he was taken to the state insane asylum, to be held there till Monday, when a jury could declare him insane. Last night he escaped from the asylum and at daylight this morning he made his appearance at a Second street hotel, clad only in underclothes and half dead with cold.

Rocky Mountain News 12-24-1887 Lunacy Two Cases Tried in the County Court Yesterday Verdict of Insane in One Case and Not Insane in the Other The County court was occupied yesterday with the hearing of two lunacy cases
The second case was that of Alice Morgan. She was an inmate of Madame Preston's establishment. She came there about eight months ago, inveigled thither, she claims, from Lincoln, Neb., by a young man who promised marriage. For disturbance of the peace or for some other cause, she was, a while ago, sent to jail. And there she was thought to develop symptoms of lunacy. Her conversation was a little wild and erratic, and her conduct slightly eccentric. On the witness stand she told her story with wonderful volubility and alarming rapidity, but not with perfect coherency. She claimed to be affected by some strange electric influence, but insisted that she was all right if let alone. The testimony was to the effect that her insanity took the form of mania. The jury found her not insane.

Rocky Mountain News 1-7-1888 What the Police Are Doing The Case of Annie (Alice) Morgan, Arrested For Insanity -
Probably one of the most pathetic as well as interesting cases in the city jail is that of Alice Morgan, the girl who was arrested a day or so ago by Sergeant Norkett. The girl is about 18 or 19 years of age, and seems to be of German parentage. She is rather tall and a decided blonde, with rather a pretty face. When arrested she wore a neat gray dress, a closely-fitting black jacket, over which was a small shoulder-cape of the same material as the dress, and wore a pair of black hale-thread (?) gloves. She was suffering from the cold, and is supposed to be insane. When questioned by the officers she answered at random, and frequently relapsed into a brown study, from which it was difficult to arouse her. Finally, however, she seemed to have a lucid interval, and said she had been staying in a house of ill-fame on Holladay street, kept by Dell Thompson. Further than that she would not say, and she was placed in the woman's department of the city jail. She then proceeded to amuse herself by barricading the doors with iron cots and yelling for all she was worth. Jailer Delmege then transferred her to cell No. 1 in the male department, so that he could watch her movements the better. At first she was hysterical and wept for two hours without a break; and later, as a News reporter stepped into the jail to have a look at her broke out singing: The train goes sailing round the curve, Good bye, my lover, good bye. Dr. Robertson attempted to talk to her, but she refused to say anything except that she came from Nebraska, where her parents live, to Leavenworth, Kansas, and from there to Denver, and that she had been here about three months. Action will be taken in her case to-day. The same girl was in the county hospital some time ago, but the physicians there said that there was nothing the matter with her and turned her out.

Rocky Mountain News 1-8-1888 Doings of the Blue Coats Annie Morgan's Brief Stories of Misfortune -
Miss Annie Morgan, the insane girl, still occupies a cell at the jail. Yesterday she was calm for about half an hour and told a News reporter her story, so far as she could remember it. Her memory as regards dates was a blank. Annie Morgan's Story Less than six months ago she left her home in Roslin, or Rosalind, Neb., and went to Lincoln, where she met a man by the name of Harry Price. Price was a brakeman on the Burlington and Missouri railroad, and considered something of a fast man about town. Yielding to his repeated solicitations the girl became his mistress, and they lived together for a short time. Then she came with him to Denver and they took rooms in the Witter block. Their first visit to Denver was of brief duration and they returned to Lincoln, where she was deserted. She had a little money left and with it bought a ticket to Denver. Arriving in this city a second time, she went to the house of ill-fame at 1915 Holladay street, kept by Dell Thompson, but remained only a short time. Her actions while in the house were often peculiar but attracted no especial attention. When she finally left she was picked up on the street and brought to police headquarters. No disposition has as yet been made of her case.

Range Ledger August 2, 1919 In the county court Thursday afternoon before Judge Hedlund and Drs. Parker and Lloyd, the lunacy commission, Miss Bertha A. Morris, who has resided on an additional homestead a few miles southeast of Hugo for the past year, was adjudged insane, and taken to the state asylum at Pueblo yesterday by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Cloud, appointed for that purpose by Judge Hedlund. Theo. A Grube, a young man residing on the Wickwire place, and adjoining Miss Morris's homestead, was the complaining witness. It seems that Miss Morris appeared at Mr. Grube's door about 6 o'clock Thursday morning, and demanded that he leave and she be admitted. As she was in an entirely nude condition, Mr. Grube quickly complied; hurried to town, and informed Sheriff Williams, of the sheriff's office. The unfortunate young woman was brought to town, and placed in charge of Mrs. Fred Cloud. Miss Morris had been a homesteader and school teacher in the Clifford neighborhood for a number of years, and was highly respected by all who knew her, and her unfortunate condition is a great shock to her friends. She was of a quiet and very lady like disposition, and taught school in the Arriba district last winter. It is to be hoped that treatment at the asylum will fully restore her to a normal condition.

Rocky Mountain News 1-25-1884 Ardent Admiration Martin Morris Fined for Loving Not Wisely A much larger crowd than usual was to be seen at the Police court room yesterday afternoon. They seemed to be very anxious to lose nothing that could in any manner gratify their anxiety. What took them there was to hear the testimony in the famous Martin Morris case. Morris was arrested for an idiotic fancy he entertained for a young girl, and in giving her a great deal of trouble greatly against her wishes and desires, as she alleges. Yesterday was the second time Morris had been in court for the same offense. He has a very idiotic expression, and none who know him or have seen him in court can pronounce him wholly sane. He bears the impressions of early dissipation, which has undoubtedly dimmed his intellect and destroyed his reason. The girl is not of a very attractive appearance, and is not endowed with even a common school education. Just why Morris should become infatuated with her it would be difficult to understand or explain upon any other ground than insanity. Before and during the trial Morris, who was inside the railing, looked continually at the girl, winking, blinking, smiling and moving his lips. She paid no attention to him whatever. When the case was called considerable wild talk was indulged in by the attorneys. Not much was deduced from witnesses outside of what has already been stated. The prisoner's attorney thought his client was crazy, and instead of being fined should be sent to an insane asylum. The attorney for the state was of the opinion that he was no crazier than Fred Gehbart, and they were both guilty of an offense, if following a woman was an offense. But in this case the woman objected for obvious reasons. The judge was of the opinion that he could not decide as to the sanity of the prisoner, as it was beyond the jurisdiction of his court. He thought, however, his offense was punishable, and accordingly fined Morris $25 and costs. Not being able to furnish it he was remanded to jail. While being taken there he broke from Officer Schold, and succeeded in evading capture for nearly an hour. He was finally secured and placed in the city jail. It was asserted by some of Morris' friends yesterday that an application would be made to the county commissioners to-day for his admission to the insane asylum. Whether or not the attempt will be successful remains to be seen, as a few of Morris' acquaintances aver that he is not insane.

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

Rocky Mountain Sun 7-3-1886 - Personals and Locals - On Monday last Judge Rucker ordered Robert Morrison and John Hart released as cured from the Pueblo lunatic asylum, whither they were sent from this county some months ago.
Morrison, Robert H.
Rocky Mountain Sun 1-30-1886 Robert H. Morrison's Lunacy One of the saddest things in life to look upon sadder even than death itself is the dethronement of reason. The case of Robert H. Morrison, which has occupied public attention during the past week, and was the subject of judicial inquiry upon last Monday evening at the court house, has excited general sympathy. It is indeed pitiable to witness this exhibition of the loss of that most necessary of senses commonsense. It seems that Mr. Morrison has lately become addicted to Bible reading, and upon the subject of religion his mind has dwelt until it has become imbued with a single idea, and this idea has become so completely his one thought that there is left no room for anything else. He has evolved from it a system of salvation which his diseased imagination clothes with the importance of absolute necessity. If his were the first case of the kind upon record, it is possible that, left unmolested he would soon have had some following, for there is scarcely a wild idea that cannot find in the multiplicity of the human family a single votary; there have been second Christs by the score, and a myriad of prophets and martyrs. Foolish and senseless as we know the vagueries of Morrison to be, yet there is reason in much that he says, and before we condemn him utterly let us look upon this strange psychological phenomenon. He has read in scripture that Christ lived, taught and died a martyr nearly two thousand years ago, and that he will come again upon earth, when he will inaugurate the millennium. With implicit belief in this inspired revelation, taught him in his home, in the Sunday school and from the pulpit, he begins to say to himself, Why not I as well as another. The graduation from that thought is to the next one: It must be it is I. He looks back over his life and finds that, from his earliest recollection he has been a peculiar man; a most unselfish and a thoroughly honest man, and that he has not prospered. He sees all about him thousands who have been the reverse and have prospered, which leads up to the final chimera: It is I. Like Christ he must be a sacrifice, and he looks for a reason why he should be sacrificed. He finds that Christ was the vicarious sacrifice for the world Gabriel, the peace offering. There is now wanted a sin offering, and he is the man. He saw in the Knights of Labor a great organization of men who labor with their hands, united for mutual protection, and extending to all races and to all trades, the inception of the great millennium for which he had waited. He is afflicted with fits, and by these he claimed to see further into the great plan of the Maker's designs, and it is revealed to his understanding that he is dead as a man, and has come to life as Michael, the sin offering. He says that heaven and hell are in man's own conscience, and that God is everywhere. The enemies of the belief are his enemies, and they seek to destroy him. He says that those who touch him while in these trances causes him great trepidation, and the further removed they are from him in belief the more their touch agonizes him. In order to give all the world a chance for redemption, he caused a great banner to be made, (it is six by nine feet in size, a red body with a white border), which he intended to carry through all countries and among all people, and all who will follow the banner will be saved for the great millennium is close at hand. He advertised that he would be on the street corners of Aspen, and tell the people of this new light. He expects to be a vicarious sacrifice, but he will not sacrifice himself and no one else will attempt his life with carnal weapons. He expects, and apparently invites persecution. He regarded the inquiry into his mental condition as persecution, though he blamed no one it was done through ignorance. There is no one who will not agree with the jury that he should be placed where he will have care and medical attendance, which he will receive at the State insane asylum at Pueblo, whither Sheriff Hooper took him this week.

Rocky Mountain News 7-13-1893 Loss of Reason Pitiful Scenes at Lunacy Trials Before Judge Le Fevre Late yesterday afternoon the county commissioners received a telegram from Joseph Schulk, Maitland, Mo. The message read: Will start for Denver to-morrow; stop trial. The message, received in Denver at 2:30 p.m., and not delivered till 5, came too late to stop the trial referred to. The man's unfortunate sister, Addie Schulk, had already been adjudged insane in the county court. She is in a pitiful condition, and the scene that ensued upon her entrance into the court room was a painful one. Two attendants were needed every moment to hold her in her chair, and she cried, moaned, shrieked and sang alternately. Her brother will arrive in Denver to-day and take her to friends in Maitland. It is not likely that she can live long. No expert was necessary, either, in the case of D. Reese, who has been in the county jail a month. His face was of a ghastly pallor, and he muttered incessantly. Sam Berry was appointed his guardian. Thomas Morrison has lived in Denver for twelve or fifteen years, and is well known here. He has been a bartender. About four weeks ago his reason partially left him while he was rooming at 1117 Fifteenth street, and he has been very violent at times since. He understands a good deal, however. When Dr. Eskridge testified that he had paresis of the brain, he remarked with much energy that he never had anything of the kind. Frank Ellis was appointed his guardian.

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.

Fort Collins Courier 8-20-1885 Last week Saturday was the trial of the man named Mareen, whose case was mentioned in the Sun two weeks ago. Nothing is known certainly of his antecedents. He was picked up about Sterling and brought here and placed in jail. He frequently raved and yelled at the top of his voice sometimes in the middle of the night. From his incoherent talk about the notorious James boys, the Younger boys, and places and circumstances, it was supposed he must have passed some of his life in Missouri. When the jury was impaneled and found him insane, he got up and abused them in the most terrible language; he threatened their lives and the life of Dr. Hawes, who had given evidence that he was insane. His language showed him to be insane beyond a doubt. Before he could be stopped he ran out of the court room and jumped clear of the railing onto the ground on the south side. But he was soon caught and confined. On Tuesday of this week he was taken to the insane asylum.

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 12-27-1906 Tony Moser Dead Last Friday morning the sheriff's office received word from a Pueblo undertaker that Tony Moser, an inmate of the state insane asylum, had died that morning, and asking if the deceased had any relatives in this vicinity. It will be remembered that Moser was convicted of insanity in the County court of this county several months ago and taken to the state insane asylum. He gradually grew weaker, being physically as well as mentally broken down at the time he was committed. The deceased was about sixty years of age and for years had followed prospecting and was a pioneer of the county. The only known relative is a brother who was formerly a resident of San Francisco, but who is believed at this time to be a resident of Salt Lake city, where he follows contracting. It is not likely that the brothers had even exchanged correspondence for a long time.
Mosher, Tony
Eagle County Blade 9-21-1905 Convicted of Insanity. Tony Mosher, a native of Germany somewhat past middle age, was declared insane by a jury in the County court last Friday. Mosher was taken in charge by Sheriff Henry the preceding day and complaint filed in the court. For many years Mosher has lived alone in a cabin at the north end of Eagle River canon, near Bolt's ranch, and worked upon some mining locations in that vicinity. Of late he has done no work, in fact has not been in good health, but has spent his time about his cabin clearly mentally unbalanced. He appeared to be harmless except to himself. A lump has been forming on his neck that appears to have worried him a great deal, and on last Wednesday he was discovered by J. H. Landry with a knife all sharpened and prepared to cut the lump out. He had imagined that through prayer he had removed the lump from his neck to his left side. Mosher seems to be a victim of the dementia that so commonly seizes men who seclude themselves in the hovels of the mountains and mining camps and live the life of a recluse. Sheriff Henry conveyed him to the state asylum at Pueblo on Saturday.

Rocky Mountain News 5-15-1891 Shipping in Paupers The commissioners of Arapahoe and officers of court complain that some one whose duty it is to see after paupers and insane persons in El Paso county is guilty of shipping this class of persons to Denver, with a view of shirking the responsibility and expense of attending to and providing for them. Yesterday a case of lunacy in the person of a German by the name of Adam Mott came up in the county court in which it appears that he was shipped from Colorado Springs to this county, and had hardly been in the city ten minutes before he was run in as a lunatic. This case will receive thorough investigation by proper officers and the matter will be shown up. If proper proofs can be secured the parties who have practiced this little sharp game may find something else to do besides furnishing tickets to Denver.

Mucke, Margaret
Leadville Herald Democrat 4-18-1888 Declared to Be Insane A sad case was developed in the county court on Monday, when a jury heard the evidence produced to show that Mrs. Mucke, a resident of Tennessee park, is of unsound mind and unfit to attend to her domestic duties. From the testimony it seems that Mrs. Mucke was some two or three years ago seized with some mental malady that rendered her life unhappy, and made her husband, who is a ranchman, very solicitous about her, lest she should meet with some mishap. The court declared that she was not of a sound mind and recommended that she be removed to the state insane asylum at Pueblo. When a telegram was sent to that institution, however, asking that accommodation be provided for her, it was found that all of the female wards were filled, and Deputy Sheriff Loomis therefore returned the unfortunate woman to her home at Tennessee park, where she will be kept at the joint expense of the county and her relatives for some time.

The woman was awake the entire night, shouting, singing and shrieking, keeping the remainder of the inmates from any sleep whatever by the noise she created. The afflicted woman's husband remained with her, but all endeavors to pacify or soothe proved of no avail whatever. Yesterday Mrs. Mucke was removed to St. Luke's hospital. She is very weak and it is thought will not live. Mr. Mucke endeavored to make arrangements to have his wife taken to the Pueblo asylum, but was informed there was no room in the place. She will be kept at St. Luke's hospital until better arrangements can be made.

The court declared that she was not of a sound mind, and recommended that she be sent to Pueblo. To-day a telegram was received from the institution at Pueblo, stating that all the female wards were full and they could not receive another patient. The deputy sheriff therefore returned the unfortunate lady to her home in the park.

Breckenridge Bulletin 9-19-1903 Mrs. Geo. Mullen Insane On Monday, in the County court, Mrs. George Mullen who has been visiting her mother, Mrs. David Lehman, for a couple of weeks, was tried and declared insane and on the afternoon train Sheriff Detwiler and Mrs. Thos. S. Davidson started for Pueblo and have her put in the asylum. Mrs. Mullen's husband and three children are at Rifle, Eagle County, where their home is and Mrs. Mullen is a resident of Eagle County and while here on the visit was taken with a spell as she termed it, and while in charge of the Davidson's Sunday night, wrapped one of Mrs. Davidson's dresses around the stove pipe, almost setting the house a fire, and otherwise showed the violence of insanity raging in her blood. The case is a peculiarly sad one as Mrs. Mullen is the mother of six children, one being dead, the two youngest ones with her and the other three being with their grand-father, Peter Barth, at Gypsum, Eagle county. Mrs. Mullen is twenty-six years old. The authorities here tried all efforts to communicate with the Eagle county authorities but could not, and, as the case was an urgent one it was tried here and the unfortunate woman was taken to the asylum, where it is hoped she will soon regain her mind.

Summit County Journal 10-17-1903 Costs In Mullins Case Dillon, Colo., October 14, 1903 Editor Journal: In the published list of claims allowed against the county by the commissioners, last week, the following items appear: J. G. Detwiler, sheriff's fees in lunacy case of Bertha Mullins - $142.95; J. W. Swisher, fees and cash paid out in lunacy case of Bertha Mullins - $78.50; Mrs. Thos. Davidson, care of Mrs. Bertha Mullins and children - $52.50; Total - $273.90.

Breckenridge Bulletin 9-19-1903 Mrs. Geo. Mullen Insane On Monday, in the County court, Mrs. George Mullen who has been visiting her mother, Mrs. David Lehman, for a couple of weeks, was tried and declared insane and on the afternoon train Sheriff Detwiler and Mrs. Thos. S. Davidson started for Pueblo and have her put in the asylum. Mrs. Mullen's husband and three children are at Rifle, Eagle County, where their home is and Mrs. Mullen is a resident of Eagle County and while here on the visit was taken with a spell as she termed it, and while in charge of the Davidson's Sunday night, wrapped one of Mrs. Davidson's dresses around the stove pipe, almost setting the house a fire, and otherwise showed the violence of insanity raging in her blood. The case is a peculiarly sad one as Mrs. Mullen is the mother of six children, one being dead, the two youngest ones with her and the other three being with their grand-father, Peter Barth, at Gypsum, Eagle county. Mrs. Mullen is twenty-six years old. The authorities here tried all efforts to communicate with the Eagle county authorities but could not, and, as the case was an urgent one it was tried here and the unfortunate woman was taken to the asylum, where it is hoped she will soon regain her mind.

Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph 6-22-1974 Escapees Stopped by Crash Here The flight to Denver of two Colorado State Hospital escapees and their captive cab driver ended about 6:30 p.m. Friday when their cab went into the median near the Bijou Street ramp of I-25 and flipped. Benny James Muniz, 24, and James Robert Martinez, 26, both of Denver, left the hospital grounds sometime after 3:30 p.m. after receiving grounds passes. The pair then flagged down Pueblo City Cab driver William Clarence Jacobson and commandeered his cab, heading for Denver. When Jacobson hadn't reported in, the cab company dispatcher contacted the State patrol asking for a location check. Officer Joe Estrada spotted the cab on I-25 south of Colorado Springs. That's when the chase began with Colorado Springs Policeman Charlie Bangs joining the procession at Bijou exit ramp. Boxed in by police officers, one of the escapees who was driving the cab tried to get around Bangs' police car but lost control, heading into the median and finally flipping the cab. Jacobson suffered lacerations in the accident while the escapees were trapped in the wreckage for a while, and suffered minor injuries. After being checked at Penrose Hospital, the pair was taken to jail for investigation of robbery and kidnapping. Muniz was committed to the hospital in June of 1972 after being found innocent by reason of insanity to a variety of charges including assault to murder, conspiracy, assault with a deadly weapon, assault with intent to kill, forgery, robbery, and armed robbery. Martinez was committed in January of 1971 for burglary, theft and robbery. A spokesman for the hospital listed the escapees as walk-aways as of 6:30 p.m. Friday.

Rocky Mountain News 2-4-1892 Adjudged Insane Four Unfortunates Committed in the County Court Yesterday The county court yesterday afternoon presented the appearance of an insane asylum. Four unfortunates were adjudged by as many juries to be incapable of managing their affairs, and orders were made committing them to the asylum at Pueblo. The proceedings attracted a very large, very noisy and unduly curious crowd. Henri Murat, who had been delivered up by his bondsmen, who had him released from jail where he was sentenced for sixty days for vagrancy, took the stand and told the jury a jumbled up story about killing dogs, which he proposed to eat. George F. Whitney was another demented man. He claims to have no relatives here, but his friends claim that he has a sister, Mrs. Jennie Skinner, living at Woodstock, Conn., who, it is thought, is not aware of the brother's pitiable plight. Mary Toohey and John Pyle were also found to be mentally deranged.

Leadville Weekly Herald 6-12-1880 Maniac's Freak. He Attempts to Hang Himself in the County Jail. A curious attempt at suicide was that made yesterday morning at the county jail by an insane man named Daniel Murphy, who had been placed there for some time. Knowing that in his ravings the man was quite dangerous, the jailer kept him in solitary confinement, and removed all the articles usually found in a prison cell to guard against giving the maniac any opportunities to do himself injury. He had on several occasions tried to end his blank life by hanging, using a chain, and once with his blanket, which he had torn into strips, but failed in every instance, until finally, it became necessary to take away everything in the cell but the iron cot and blanket. Thinking that now the man was safe from himself, the jailers relaxed their previous untiring vigilance, but cries from the interior of the corridors yesterday warned the jailers that something unusual was transpiring, and rushing in, they found that through some unaccountable means Murphy had secured a rope, which he had cut in two, and with one piece he had tied both his feet to a staple in a door, and with the other he had formed a running noose, which he had placed around his neck, tying the other end to the iron cot, and allowing himself to hang with his body stretched across the cell, face downward. He was cut down and, after some trouble, resuscitated, Dr. Collins having been called, and applying the necessary remedies. The man was again locked up, after all means of self-destruction had been taken away, and is now in his cell in a perfectly nude condition. He will, in all probability, be taken to the insane asylum in Pueblo, in a short time, where he can receive the proper attention.

This makes the third case committed to the asylum since last Christmas, and the fifth during the incumbency of the present county court judge.

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

Rocky Mountain News 11-2-1896 Amid Scenes of Horror County Hospital Is Crowded With Insane Citizens
Thereby dangles a story a narrative showing how well the county doesn't provide for her wheely citizens, and exemplifying the extra labor and unenviable experience to which the hospital attendants are subjected. The county hospital never was intended for a lunatic asylum. Never was built with the idea that under its walls would be sheltered at one time, a score and a half insane, ranging from the white-haired old lady who is simply off at times, to the wild, destructive maniac in whose diseased brain is moulded only a desire to kick, bite, glare and make a large noise. A reporter for The News took in the whole works yesterday, through the kindness of Dr. Simon, a member of the medical staff
The second floor of the old building contains a miscellaneous assortment of the daft, all women. When the top of the stairs was reached yesterday a good scene for the impressionist was presented

One is a little 14-year-old girl, an epileptic, and the other William Murphy, a boy about 15 years of age, sent from Idaho Springs. William is not insane, the doctor declares, but is a case of natural depravity. He is totally devoid of all sense of right or wrong. For instance, he will have a little kitten and after fondling it for a time, like any child, he may suddenly poke its eyes out with a stick, having no idea that the pain the animal suffers amounts to anything. He has been in the reform school several times, but kept all around him in such continual hot water that he was finally sent to the asylum. Even here he is a source of much annoyance, and if left alone with the patients for any time manages somehow to get the whole ward into an uproar, gets the patients to fighting and enjoys the confusion and excitement greatly. He would properly belong to a school for the feeble minded and might in time be made a harmless member of society, but as he is now he would be a dangerous boy at large.

The boy is not insane, she claimed, but seems to be vicious and enjoys giving other people pain. He gave the people at the reform school so much trouble that he was sent to the asylum. Mr. Mills of the board was of the opinion that the boy had no business in the reform school, and the matter was finally placed in his hands to investigate and see what could be done.

He was placed under $1,000 bonds on each of two charges larceny from the person and grand larceny. He waived examination. An effort was made by an evening paper to connect St. Louis with Frank Musseter, who is alleged to have feigned insanity to escape from the penitentiary and then to get away from the insane asylum. This identification story was ruined by the exhibition at the police station of Musseter's photograph. St. Louis is an entirely different looking man. It is credibly reported, however, that St. Louis has served a term in the Pueblo county jail during the past two months for complicity in robbery of a meat market, where he was the outside stall.

Rocky Mountain News 5-25-1884 Methodical Madness The Welton Street Highwayman Placed on Trial on the Ground of Insanity Frank Mussetter, the enterprising young highwayman who held up four drug clerks at as many different stores, a few weeks ago, was before the County court yesterday. A few days after his arrest it became quite evident that Mussetter was laboring under a temporary aberration of the mind, or pretending to, and after a consultation between the authorities and the physicians it was concluded to remove him to the county hospital, where he could receive the needed attention. His appearance in the court room yesterday was peculiarly sad. His pallid and emaciated countenance, the eyes bloodshot and sunken, and the very nervous movements of his hands and arms were painful to behold. He paid scarcely any attention to what was being said or the movements of those in the room and was continually staring into vacancy. There was nothing vicious in his appearance, and he appeared to be content and satisfied. Several witnesses were examined yesterday afternoon, among them the county physician, the jailer, and several physicians of the city, who had made an examination into the case. It was deduced that at times Mussetter was violent, but generally he was morose and melancholy. Dr. H. A. Lemen had visited Mussetter at the hospital, and was firmly convinced from an examination of him, and after hearing him converse, that he was insane, the form being a type of melancholia. The doctor said he had very closely watched the man at various times, and was satisfied as to the demented condition of his mind. Dr. Mussetter, a brother of the man, related an instance of about a year ago, when his brother was taken sick, suffering with a fever. He was laboring under the delusion that a man whom he had had some difficulty with in collecting a bill, was endeavoring to kill him. He was sick with the fever for about ten days, and when he recovered was apparently free from any of its effects. Mussetter is being given the best of medical treatment. About a dozen witnesses are to be examined yet, and it is probable that the case will not be given to the jury until Tuesday.

Readers of The News can vividly remember the action of Frank Mussetter, the young highwayman who created a commotion among four drug stores one night in May last, by holding up the clerks in genuine highway style and robbing them of everything he could conveniently carry away. Prior to this he had played the part of a desperate highwayman, using two pistols to further terrify his victims. He was known as the Welton street highwayman, and created more dread by the persistency and boldness of his robberies than is usual. The drug store robbery, however, was one of far more than ordinary boldness. A very clear case was secured against Mussetter; however, through this one of the clerks held up recognizing his voice, and he was arrested a few days later with a considerable portion of the plunder in his possession. He made a desperate effort to escape, but was recaptured after a couple of revolvers had been emptied at him. The drug clerk who recognized in the bold highwayman the personage of Frank Mussetter was J. J. Smythe, of Timerman's. While Mussetter was lying in the county jail awaiting the action of the Criminal court he became wonderfully insane. His attorneys changed their tactics and had him taken before Judge Harrington, when, after two days' trial and considerable testimony from expert physicians on the subject of insanity, the jury adjudged him insane and the judge sent him, on May 27, to the insane asylum at Pueblo. At the trial the man's brother, of the drug firm of Cox & Mussetter, testified to several instances in which Frank had been temporarily insane, and there seemed to be no question of the truth of the statement. The latter part of June Dr. Mussetter disposed of his interests in Denver, and left the city. On July 3 he appeared at the insane asylum, and, according to the statement of Mr. Smythe, who visited the institution on Tuesday, through some hocus pocus succeeded in getting his insane brother dismissed from the asylum and together they went to New Mexico. How he managed to induce the superintendent to allow an inmate to leave the building without an order from some court is not known. But quite certain it is that the superintendent had no right whatever to give Mussetter his freedom without authority. The News interviewed the drug clerks and proprietors who were the victims of Mussetter's madness, and there was a general feeling of disgust on their part to think that the highwayman should be given his freedom in such a manner. They were unanimous in the belief that Mussetter only assumed the insane ruse to save himself from the penitentiary, but acknowledged that he hoodwinked the jury in very fine style. Mr. Smythe says that no one at the asylum, among the management, believed him to be insane, and this late move is rather conclusive proof that the plea was nothing more nor less than a dodge. Robert Steele, the clerk of the county court, was very angry yesterday when he heard of the action of the asylum authorities, and said he would gladly join the drug men in sifting the matter to the bottom. The druggists announce that they will have a thorough investigation made. Judge Harrington is absent from the city, but will doubtless take some action in the matter upon his return.

Rocky Mountain News 9-9-1890 Something is Up The old case of Frank S. Musseter was recalled yesterday in the office of the clerk of the county court by a legal gentleman asking for a transcript of the case. Musseter was tried back in 1884 for holding up drug clerks. He had been a drug clerk himself, and his method of doing business was to hold up his associates in the late hours of the night. He usually rang their night bells. The clerks who answered them generally gave up all the valuables they had about them to Musseter, who in the meantime had exhibited a revolver. This ingenious young man was finally apprehended and sentenced to the penitentiary. He did not like his quarters there, however, and soon convinced the jailers that he was insane. He was pronounced insane by a jury in the county court afterward, and after a short incarceration was released. It is alleged that he committed some very peculiar acts in order to show his insanty. He is now supposed to be in Salt Lake City, and why a transcript of his case is desired can only be conjectured.

Rocky Mountain News 1-21-1885 Contempt of Court Judge Harrington Overhauls Thombs for Releasing Mussetter Another Sensational Feature in the Career of The Welton Street Highwayman Frank S. Mussetter's Strange History and Release From Custody An order issued in the County court yesterday calls to mind a very interesting case in Denver's criminal history. Last spring the city was startled by the exploits of a highwayman, who sprang out in the night time from dark alleys and confronted peaceable citizens demanding their money. For a long time the robberies continued and as the highwayman escaped detection he grew more daring. At last the whole town heard of a new and peculiarly sensational act of robbery. In the early morning, between 4 and 5 o'clock, several drugs stores were robbed by the single masked marauder who rang the night bell, summoned night clerks and drug store proprietors and made them give up to him wines, cigars and the contents of the money drawers. It was subsequently found that the highwayman was a brother to one of the drug store proprietors who had been robbed and the highwayman did not remain at liberty to perform many other acts of rascality after his daring raid on apothecaries. Detection Came At Last Frank S. Mussetter was arrested and a good deal of the goods stolen were recovered. The evidences of his guilt were very strong. He was a young man of very respectable connections and had numbered many excellent people among his friends here, but had evidently fallen among bad women, bad associates and into a condition of general mental and moral depravity. He does not seem to have been much addicted to drink, but to have been led on to ruin in other ways. He was to have been tried on charges of highway robbery, receiving stolen goods, etc. His condition seemed hopeless, though he engaged first-class lawyers to defend him. When brought into the Criminal court-room with other prisoners, he appeared to be the most utterly given up to despair of any of them. His face was extremely paile, he looked to be in extreme ill-health, and he appeared in every way more like a ghost than a man. But before his trial came off in the Criminal court, the case suddenly put on a new aspect. It began to be asserted about town that Frank Mussetter was insane, and his ghastly appearance and profound melancholy were calculated to inspire people who saw and observed him with the truth of this idea. Several reputable Denver physicians examined Mussetter, and were convinced of his insanity. He was tried before a jury in the County court, and adjudged insane. Judge Harrington, on May 24, 1884, ordered him committed to the insane asylum at Pueblo. The general public had by this time become rather inclined to accept the verdict as a just one, and to believe Mussetter to be really as mad as a March hare. But the community which had already found Mussetter a fruitful subject for sensations, were destined to be again startled. Only a few weeks after the sheriff's officers had taken him to the asylum the rumor began to be circulated that he had been set at liberty, and that some crookedness was charged against the officials in charge of the asylum. It is now said that Mussetter has gone East, and that his exact whereabouts is unknown. The criminal charges against him are still pending in the Criminal court, the original indictment being a very long one and containing any number of courts. Still it seems extremely doubtful whether he will ever be recaptured and brought to trial. It is claimed that Superintendent Thombs of the Insane Asylum allowed Mussetter to depart from his custody on or about July 3, 1884, without any order or authority from the County court of Arapahoe county, or any other proper official source. Yesterday Judge Harrington, of the County court, acting on a motion made by Assistant District Attorney George M. Harris, issued an order upon P. R. Thombs, superintendent of the insane asylum, requiring him to show why he allowed Frank S. Mussetter to depart from custody in the manner he did, and to show cause within ten days after service on him of a certified copy of the order why he should not be adjudged to be in contempt of court for failing to keep Mussetter confined in the asylum until discharged upon inquest as provided by law. Judge Harrington's order is published in full in another part of The News.

Rocky Mountain News 1-21-1885 The Courts Probate List The People vs. Frank S. Mussetter, lunatic; upon filing and reading the affidavit of G. M. Harris, and it appearing therefrom that at the time of the adjudication of said cause on May 21, A. D. 1884, certain criminal charges were pending in the Criminal court of this county against the defendant; that said charges are still pending against him; that since the commitment of the defendant to the insane asylum at Pueblo under the order of this court, P. R. Thombs, the superintendent or keeper of said asylum, did on or about the third day of July, 1884, allow the defendant to depart from said asylum, but not upon inquest or by authority of law, and the said Mussetter still remains at large; therefore, it is ordered that the said P. R. Thombs, superintendent of insane asylum, show cause within ten days after service on him of a certified copy of this order, why he has allowed the said Frank S. Mussetter to depart from said asylum and to remain at large, and why he should not be adjudged to be in contempt of court for failing to keep the said defendant confined in said asylum until discharged upon inquest as provided by law.

Rocky Mountain News 1-25-1885 The Mussetter Matter Dr. Thombs, of the Insane Asylum at Pueblo, Exonerated Was Mussetter Assisted by Friends Outside in Simulating Insanity? The responsibility for the escape of Frank Mussetter, the Welton street highwayman and drug store robber, has not yet been fixed, and is indeed further from being ascertained than was thought a short time ago. In the County court yesterday, Dr. Thombs, superintendent of the insane asylum at Pueblo, was exonerated from blame in the matter, Judge Harrington sustaining a demurrer to the complaint against him for contempt in not returning Mussetter to the court before dismissing him from custody. It was shown to the satisfaction of the court that Dr. Thombs had complied with the law in the matter, as no mention was made in the commitment issued by the court of the fact that Mussetter was wanted for crime or other cause. When Mussetter was brought to the asylum Dr. Thombs was absent on business, and there was no history of the case given by the officer who brought the supposed insane patient to the asylum. He was committed as an insane pauper and attracted no more attention than usually attaches to persons of this description. When questioned by Dr. Thombs, Mussetter said that whisky did it, and as this was a very common cause it did not excite any surprise in the doctor, who says that Mussetter had a haggard look and was no doubt cranky. He was allowed to go out by himself at times and always returned, a fact which increased the doctor's belief in Mussetter's insanity. The law in the matter, as interpreted for Dr. Thombs by the attorney general of the state, is that in such cases or all excepting those in which a conservator has been appointed for the patient, the superintendent shall dismiss the patients when they have recovered from their insanity. Dr. Thombs avers that he was wholly ignorant of Mussetter's history prior to his being placed in the asylum under the doctor's charge. While this quite effectually clears Dr. Thombs, it does not make it at all certain that no one is to blame for Mussetter's escape. It is very doubtful, even if Mussetter had been returned to the court authorities, he could be convicted of the crimes with which he was charged, after having been pronounced insane by the County court. The extraordinary part of the proceeding appears to have been the trial of Mussetter before the County court at all. He was committed for trial in the Criminal court, and could have entered the plea of insanity when his trial came on. It is pretty clear that Mussetter was never insane, but it is by no means so certain that he was not assisted by parties on the outside in simulating insanity. He was a skilled druggist, and it is a well-known fact that there are drugs which, when properly applied, will give many of the appearances or symptoms of insanity, such as high pulse, engorgement of the blood vessels of the eye, etc. An inquiry into the treatment of Mussetter while in the county jail might result in throwing some light on the matter.

Fairchild, December 23; Julia Dunbar, December 23. The expense bills of the sheriff call for round sums for conveying David C. Hart to the asylum, January 5, and A. B. 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.

San Juan Prospector 4-5-1890 Insane Edwin Myers, of Raton creek, was tried before Judge Baxter Thursday of last week and found insane. He will in future be kept at the State asylum at Pueblo. Edwin Myers is a brother of the Myers Bros., of Raton creek, and the original cause of his lunacy was sunstroke when he was a boy. He had been confined in an asylum at Dayton, Ohio prior to this time, but was released owing to seeming improvement. Of late, however, his trouble has assumed such a form as to warrant complaint being made against him, with the result above noted.

Aspen Weekly Times 10-13-1900 Insane Man Arrested For several weeks complaints have been heard of the conduct of John Myers, who lived alone in a cabin about a quarter of a mile east of Basalt, says the Examiner. Meyers is a German, appears to be 50 years old and has been doing odd jobs around Basalt for nearly three years. The man has always been more or less peculiar in manner, but of late his mania appears to have assumed a more dangerous aspect. He has threatened several people with a shotgun and frightened ladies who are compelled to pass his place. On Wednesday Meyers attempted to take a horse belonging to Cornelius O'Brien, and the latter informed Justice of the Peace Lydick, who telegraphed for Sheriff Mack Fleck. Mr. Fleck came over on Thursday morning and, together with several other persons, found the man at his cabin and arrested him. It was found necessary to use a great deal of moral suasion and a pair of the latest approved handcuffs in order to get the prisoner on board of No. 4 en route to Red Cliff by way of Leadville. Myers will be taken before Judge Tague for an examination in order to determine as to his sanity.
