Denver Evening Post 1-24-1899 Asylum Inquisitors Down to Hard Pan Pueblo, Jan. 24 What will probably be the last day of the insane asylum investigation by the legislative committee began this morning with a denunciation by Attorney (Mortimer F.) Taylor, who, in vigorous language, characterized the examination of witnesses as bullyragging, and of such an illegal nature that 90 per cent of the testimony taken would be thrown out of an ordinary justice court
The Examination of Witnesses Finally Resumed The proposition of Mr. Taylor and Mr. (J. R.) Dixon was rejected and to save time for it was now 11:10 o'clock, the attorney general called J. I. Thomas and J. F. Driver, attendants in the male wards. Their testimony before the committee of the board of charities and corrections was read to them and the cross-examination was in the line of showing the infrequency of vacations, their yearning for relaxation and the faithfulness of Dr. Thombs to his duties at the asylum.

Denver Evening Post 1-24-1899 Asylum Inquisitors Down to Hard Pan Pueblo, Jan. 24 What will probably be the last day of the insane asylum investigation by the legislative committee began this morning with a denunciation by Attorney (Mortimer F.) Taylor, who, in vigorous language, characterized the examination of witnesses as bullyragging, and of such an illegal nature that 90 per cent of the testimony taken would be thrown out of an ordinary justice court
Burrows' Graphic Story Thomas J. Burrows, supervisor of the male department was placed on the stand. The witness had come from a sick bed and his voice was husky, but he did not hesitate in his answers
In answer to the questions of the attorney general Mr. Burrows told the committee that he had been supervisor since Sept. 16, 1879, at a salary of $1,200 a year. Pay rolls had been kept for years. Attendants received $30 a month. An old attendant named J. L. McWilliams received $40 per month, the engineer $75 a month, the head Chinaman, who looks after the laundry for the male building, $40 a month and the other $25 a month. The salary of Mrs. Thombs is $75 a month
Mrs. P. R. Thombs was called. Her testimony, regarding the birth of the child and other matters thoroughly ventilated before, was read to her and corrected in one or two places. The cross-examination brought out the statements that Mrs. Thombs had entertained visitors of her own. These visitors were here at long intervals and the greatest stay was of six-weeks' duration. Three entertainments have been given at the asylum by Miss Thombs. Mrs. Thombs testified that the expenses of these three entertainments were borne entirely by the doctor and herself. She knew that the food had been complained of. Several times last summer the hash or stew for breakfast was sour, and the bread mice-bitten. It had been left to cool after baking on a long table and the mice had jumped up and got at it. There was no extensive way of keeping the food on ice, as the asylum possesses only small refrigerators.

Wet Mountain Tribune 7-22-1899 Dr. Thombs, after undergoing political martyrdom, having satisfied himself with himself, has relinquished the scepter at the State Insane asylum. He has had years of experience with crazy people and it is likely he will not care to change his field of labor, in which case he will become a Democratic politician.

Denver Evening Post 12-8-1898 Stories of Brutal Treatment Sworn to by Witnesses Extracts From the Testimony Before the Insane Asylum Investigating Committee Mrs. Sadie Fisher, the supervisoress of the asylum, was the first witness examined at the insane asylum investigation made by the state board of charities and correction. She testified that the patients got very little attention from the doctor. He did not visit the woman's ward more than three times a month. He had not visited her ward but once since he returned from the East, last September. The attendants made no report to anyone concerning the condition of the patients. She said her duties were those of supervisoress, but when she tried to have any order among the attendants she met with insults and abuses. When asked about sick patients, Mrs. Fisher said a patient might be confined in the asylum a year before the doctor would know anything about it. She said bread had been sent the patients that had been eaten by mice and was very hard and three times during the last summer spoiled food had been given the patients. The food was often poorly cooked and there was no variety. Month in and out stew, hash, oatmeal, bread and vegetables were served. Mrs. Fisher said there was absolutely no system about the purchase of supplies. Continuing her examination, the question was asked: Q How much time do attendants spend in the discharge of their duties? A Well, I could only give an average. I should think that, say one and one-half hours in the morning, an hour at supper time and long enough to lock up. That would be an average. Q You know that to be true? A I do. Q Where are they during the time they are away from the ward? A In their room sewing or in the parlor chatting with each other. Q Who is in the ward looking after the patients? A No one. Mrs. Fisher said the insane were locked in their rooms immediately after supper, which was served at 5 o'clock, and left alone until the next morning. She said the attendants often left the building and went down town when they were supposed to be on duty. She said straight jackets and wristlets were used by the attendants. Mrs. Fisher said Dr. Thombs paid as little attention as possible to complaints. Once she complained about a patient to the doctor and he answered: No, by God, thrash her. She said patients were punished or restrained every day without Dr. Thombs knowing anything about it. Straight jackets were left on patients three days at a time. The attendants used their own methods of restraint without consulting anyone. Mrs. Fisher was asked: How many deaths have occurred since you have been at the asylum? A I should think five. Q Were the attendants present when the patients were dying or were they simply discovered after they were dead? A I know of several cases where there was no one present. I am not aware any one was present any time. She said that to two of the patients Dr. Thombs had given medicine a couple of times. The other three he had not been attending. She said Dr. Thombs never saw a corpse after death. Some of the patients died in their rooms during the night. Mrs. Fisher said that no record was kept of the past history of the patients to her knowledge. Carrie A. Jones, an attendant, was the next witness. She never made written reports of the condition of the patients. She had known that as long as five weeks at a time Dr. Thombs had not visited her ward. He never came to her ward unless asked to. One of her patients died from consumption unattended. Dr. Work had previously examined her and said nothing could be done for her. Dr. Thombs never visited her. She was not given any medicine, but died alone during the night. Miss Jones said she often prescribed for patients without asking for any advice and gave physics and often whisky. She said clergymen had never visited the sick or the dying to her knowledge. She was asked: What efforts were made for the cure of the patients in your ward for the diseases for which they were committed? A Nobody gave me any instruction in that. I did the best I could myself. She said she used straightjackets on the women, and sometimes wristlets. When patients refused to eat they were let go until they would eat. One Italian woman was kept locked in her room most of the time with wristlets on. She said Dr. Thombs was present when the illegitimate child was born in July, 1897. She made no record of the case. The matter was kept secret and the mother was placed in a little room on the upper floor so that no one would hear the baby cry. Miss Jones said Dr. Thombs gave her $20 for extra work in caring for the child. Dr. Thombs was placed on the stand. He said he had been superintendent of the asylum for twenty years. He said that the restraint was never severe, occasionally he admitted straightjackets were used. They were permitted to remain on a patient until she got over her excitement. Dr. Thombs was asked: If the supervisors should testify that it was not uncommon for attendants to be away from their wards an hour or two at a time, would you contradict it? A I could not contradict it, but I should not credit it. He said that the matrons in attendance were supposed to make verbal reports to him. Question Suppose one or two or three attendants in the building here should testify under oath that a year ago last Christmas Mr. Burrows brought in a two-quart bottle of whisky with a label attached to it, Merry Xmas; Help Yourself; Drink All You Want, and that the attendants helped themselves, some freely, some not at all, and at least one of them because violently intoxicated and the druggist was driven out of his room and told Mrs. Thombs the circumstances. Have you any knowledge to contradict that? A No, sir. I never heard of it and doubt it. Dr. Thombs said he had no private practice in Pueblo, but occasionally called in to see families he had known a long time. He once found an attendant drunk and reproved him. He claimed that he visited the wards often and always looked out for the sick. He said he spent at least two hours every morning at the asylum. He admitted that no printed or written record was ever kept of the general condition of the various patients. He depended entirely on verbal reports. He swore absolutely that a week had never passed without going to every ward in the institution. He admitted that he did not O.K. all requisitions for supplies. He said there was no record of the distribution of supplies. He said that relatives were always notified of the death of patients. Question Invariably? Answer Invariably. Q Do you recall the death of a man named George Hodgson? Do you recall ever notifying his wife after his death? A I did not have her address. He did not live but a little while after he came. He was asked what prescriptions he had given during the past ten days, and could only recall one. He said no other physician beside himself had visited the asylum during the past month, except in one special case. He could give no satisfactory explanation of why a room large enough for forty patients had never been used. He said three children had been born at the asylum. The mothers of two of them were brought to the place in a delicate condition. He continued: A year ago last summer we had an unfortunate occurrence. One of our patients became in that condition here. I do not know that it was known how it happened. It is simply impossible to watch them all the time. Q How did it happen? A We were kalsomining a ward, and the patients had to leave the ward until we got through. Some way in going or coming this accident must have occurred. Q Could it have occurred without carelessness of the attendant? A I would say there was carelessness, but with thirty-five patients to one attendant it seems to me that the patient might separate off a little and that condition occurred that way. Q Did you discharge that attendant? A No. Q Did you make any report to the commissioners? A No. I felt chagrined at it. She was a lady of family. I took care of her the best I could. Q A child was born? A Yes, sir; I was present. Q Was the father of that child an inmate of this institution? A Yes, sir. He came from the penitentiary. Q Who nursed the woman? A Miss Jones. Dr. Thombs denied that he paid Miss Jones any extra wages, and when told that Miss Jones would testify that she received $35 more than regular, he said he did not know it. Q What became of the child? A It died. Q Of what did it die? A It never was healthy. I do not know what ailed it. It got good attention. Q Did you prescribe for the child at all? A All I gave it was a little paregoric once or twice. He said he kept the facts of the birth from the patients because they were very curious about such things. Q Where was the child taken when it died? A We buried it here. We have an old cemetery here. Q Who buried it? A Mr. Burrows and I took it out and buried it. Q The mother was not allowed to go? A She did not know really what had occurred. She was dazed. I do not think she realized what had been done. When asked if he had a complete record of the names of all the patients in the asylum, he answered, I think nearly so, sir. J. W. Masters was placed on the stand. He was employed at the asylum from March, 1892 to June, 1898. He said the wards were often left alone. Sometimes the attendants would just simply go off without getting anybody's permission. Sometimes they would speak to another attendant to go after their wards. While he was an attendant sometimes it would be three months that he did not see Dr. Thombs at all. Q You say three months elapsed while you were an attendant, that Dr. Thombs was not in your ward? A Oh, yes, I think there was one year when Dr. Thombs would not be in the ward more than two or three times during the year. Q Did he during your three years ever make a thorough examination of your ward or the patients in it? A No, sir. Masters said he was never told to make reports. He said the doctor was scarcely ever at the asylum during the day. He said he had seen the attendants drunk, and that there was considerable drunkenness on the part of the male attendants. He corroborated the story of the whisky bottle, published above. He said the attendants recommended what medicine the patients received. In answer to a question he said: I remember a case of Mr. Burrows knocking a patient down. I also remember his slapping a patient. Q Did you ever see a patient allowed to go three or five days without anything to eat? A Yes, sir. Q Have you allowed them to be starved into eating? A Mr. Burrows was not in favor of making them eat and they often went a long time without eating.

Denver Evening Post 1-22-1899 Feeling Shows in Asylum Inquiry Pueblo, Colo., Jan. 21 The investigation by the joint legislative committee into the affairs of the state insane asylum is now beginning to warm up
Chairman Stewart asked Dr. Thombs to state his term of service in the army, and the superintendent replied that he was an assistant surgeon in the federal army, serving from August, 1862, to a year previous to coming to Colorado. He reached this state August 4, 1866. Senator Stewart asked the witness to give the names of the different battles in which he was engaged. He replied that he was in many, Stone river, Liberty gap, Chickamauga, and all the battles included in the Atlanta campaign, being among them

Rocky Mountain News 1-28-1887 Bereft of Reason The Legislative Committee Pay a Visit To the State Lunatic Asylum at Pueblo Yesterday Pueblo, Jan. 27 The legislative committee on state institutions
This morning at about 9 o'clock they visited the State Insane asylum, and were shown about the premises by Superintendent P. R. Thombs, General Supervisor T. J. Borroughs and G. W. Mundabaugh, the very pleasant and gentlemanly attendant of the convalescent ward. The committee were unusually well pleased with their inspection of the place
Dr. Thombs wants $30,000 to build and furnish an addition to the woman's department, and in the opinion of the committee this seems necessary. They were also convinced that Dr. Thombs is very economical in building and in all his work. He seems to possess a strong magnetic influence over patients. He seems well fitted for the position, which he has held since May, 1879. There is a deficit of $8,000 in the running expenses of the institution. Dr. Burrows, the supervisor, says he has not had any salary for six long months. The committee will advise the appropriation of money to r_eet (?) these expenses and improvements, if there is money in the state treasury to do it. They admit the need of the appropriation

Thombs, Pembrooke R.
Pembrooke R. Thombs Durango Democrat April 30, 1902 Pembrooke R. Thombs, who for nearly twenty years was superintendent of the state insane asylum and formerly president of the Colorado State Medical association, died at his home in this city at 12:45 o'clock this morning of a complication of diseases. Dr. Thombs was 63 years old and is survived by a wife and one daughter. He was a veteran of the civil war and served during the entire four years in an Illinois regiment. He came to Colorado in 1856, and until 1879 pursued the practice of his profession with marked success. He was appointed superintendent of the asylum in 1879 by Governor Gilpin. He resigned in 1899 as the result of an investigation into the conduct of the asylum started at the instigation of a former employee which brought to light the story of an illegitimate child which was born to a patient within the asylum and died on the asylum grounds. Aside from this Dr. Thombs' management of the asylum was pronounced satisfactory. Above was clipped from Denver's Post of yesterday. Mrs. Thombs has several sisters who are well known in this section, Mrs. H. C. Bollinger, Mrs. Charles Wigglesworth and Mrs. Lieutenant Waters. Dr. Thombs was a popular and splendid citizen, an ideal friend and as loyal as man was ever created. The Democrat regrets his death.
