Smith - The body of a sevc-n-and-onedjalf« months old baby girl, white, was found last Saturday afternoon along Mocoieo Creek on the R, A. Murdock farm, below Massies Creek cemetery bytwo hoys Lester Rhodes and Ed­ ward Baldwin, the later a son of Fred Baldwin, who is a tenant on the Murdock farm. The find was reported to the county officer’s and early - Sunday morning Sheriff Obraer Tate, Special Deputy Kenneth C. Barr*, and Coroner Cham­ bliss visited the spot and recovered the body. It was taken to Xenia and tm-ned over to J. Harry Nagley for burial, interment taking place later ifi Woodland cemetery Monday. The body was found In a large can with the lid sopie distance away, The officers could find no clue and there was no means of idcntifiication. Coroner Chambliss discovered that the child had been struck on the bead between the eyes with a solid instru­ ment that fractured the skull which indicated murdfer. It wjas thought by the appearance of tho body that it had been dead three or four days. The supposition is that the tin' can with' the body therein had been placed in the creek at the stone .bridge near Massies Creek cemetery and that it floated down stream when the1water was high and was lodged on the bank. When the water receed- ed the can was- left some . distance from the channel. The .lid was near by, . The case.is a mystery and no clue could be .found-to give the officers a chance to.run down the guilty parties There was no resemblehce of the child’s features that could be traced. A marriage license has beenissued to James Francis Corrigan, and Mary Dennehy. Father McGinty, James­ town is named as the officiating cler­ gyman.

Most of them run rubbers around the hall to keep it shiny for inspection by the officials. Those who, through neces­ sity, aro employed on the outside of the ward, work in tho garden during the planting and harvesting season, in the laundry handling the coiled clothes from the whole institution, in tho kitchen doing tho necessary pool­ ing cooking, etc., and in the coal yarS shoveling dusty coal from day­ light to dark. j AVERAGE TYPE OF GUARD The type of guard used on the var­ ious outside details varies consider­ ably. Many of them are kind and com passionate and really love the pa­ tients. Others, however, aro unkind and brutal and never miss an oppor­ tunity to handle their *charges thru fear. There aw various methods of making a patient afraid of o> guard- such as twisting the awns until they are nearly dislocated, strikijig with the dosed fist or “knuckles", ©r ssap Apiece of coap in a cock), or club of black-jack, or kicking the patient about the ehesb, back or legs whew the clothing covers tiro braise ks that it will not be discovered. Throwing the patient into a lodge or denying him food or water ate other methods used. Yelling at or ouraing the patient are much milder methods. METHODS NOW IN USE All of these weilums ma in pise- where the patient is tied to a bench is fairly common. All of his is possible in our present-day methods merely because of the type of man that is attracted to such jobs hy the poorsal ary paid. The Ohio attendant starts a $85 pep month for women and $45 per month for men. The number of actual attendants allowed in any one institution is no greater than One at­ tendant to each15 or 25 patients in ac tual practice, taking in consideration the night force, tho necessary vaca­ tions* time off duty during the week and vacancies. IN FOR TEN YEARS The average length of time that the average patient resides in the aver­ age asylum in theJ^nltcd States is better than 10 years, The averago discharge rate to trial visit home is 35 per cent of tho admission rate. Many of'these ore returned later to the hospital The averago hospital in the state of Ohio is from 25 to £0 per it ovcveiovrdod. The average daffy per capita coot price of each patient to the state is from 70 to 80 centsThe hospital with tlio lowes per eapia cost price is usually leaked upon as tho one that is “best managed.” Nov/ who is to he blamed for all this ? Is it the fault ©f the superin­ tendent? No, for iso would be only tea anxious to institute the necessary eliangea if ho had the opportunity. The assistant physician? No, for ho is doing the hast ho can under tho circumstances. Any particular officers of the institution? No they are only a result of tvsystem, “ Then who hr what is at fault that permits thi\ .sort at u eonditien to obtain? THE “SYSTEM'' IS AT FAULT It is the system*tho idea that "onto InnattG always insane”, tho fact that these institutions aro in politics and tho fact that “pore-apsis coat price idea” has dominated tho management of those iantituions for go many years.
