Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S C ASTORIA

Regarding the condition of John Tigler, who is in jail awaiting his reception at Longcliff, one of the physicians says that a thorough examination was made of Mr. Tigler at the inquest and there is no doubt of his insanity. They found a depression on one side of his head, and about 18 months ago this resulted in partial paralysis of one side of the body, a sure indication of weakness of the brain. The evidence of Dr. Kelsey, of Francesville, his physician, was to the effect that his mind is impaired. The evidence of his son and daughter was to the effect that he threatened to kill his son some months ago, and neighbors testified that they considered his mind affected. The doctors think an operation to relieve the depression of the skull might result in his cure. The evidence is all submitted to the asylum authorities and they have the power to discharge a patient if they do not consider restraint necessary.
