George Cutie ’ 11111111113 Willem [Benedict Suc- ceeded in Getting Out of Apartment at the Norwalk tlospitol Yesterday. and Knocked Keeper Down There, was a period of great excite- ment. at the Norwalk Hospital for some time yesterday afternoon caused by the desire of William I". Benedict, the East Norwalk man who was taken there on Wednesday. to gain his liber- ty.Be11chct gave his keeper George Tinker, and the regular attendants at the hospital a te1riilc struggle before he was finally Illntt‘d under restraint Deputy Sheriff John W. Sculley en- gagcd Tucker to go to the hospital. yesterday morning. torcileve Andrew J. Noonun, who had been there for several hours. Benedict appeared to be quiet enough at this time, and ’I‘uckt-r, shortly after 12 o'clock left him in the padded cell,whlie he went out to get him something to eat. On Tucker's return, and just after he had unfastened the door of the apartment Benedict madea Iunge at him. The attack took Tucker unawares, and be- fore the door. which opens outward. could be closed, Benedict had knOcked Tucker down. The two men struggled about the corridor in tight embrace, each seeking to get the mastery. Mrs. Charles W. Lanc, the matron at'the Hospital. heard the noise of the strug- gle, and hurried to the scene. calling for Miss Helen V. Brown. the super- tendent. .lolrn E. Lane, the orderly. arrived shortly afterward. followed by his father, the janitor at the Hospital. The men finally succeeded in getting the best of Benedict. who was most des- perate in his struggles to escape, strik- ing, biting. scratching and kicking all who were anywhere near him. He was at last forced Into the cell and the ‘ restraints placed on him, and by this nicans he was kept quiet during the balance of the day. The noise ou-osioned by the allray aroused the other patients in the build- ing. and some of them were greatly alarmed. and were made ve1y nervous laminates-at. The Hospital has not the proper tyc- iiities for handling such cases as Beu- ediot's and some other people who have been taken there from South Norwalk and other portions of the town, It is :he opinion that some provision should be made to keep them under control in ‘he Iockups at each end of the towns. the need of a padded cell and straight jacket in each place Is again apparent This matter has been brought to tho uttentton of lht‘ soiectmen very forci- bly of late, and they should take some action. Such incidents as sometimes takes place at the hospital serve to in- iure the other patients who must be kept quiet If they would recover. It. was reported from the hospital this afternoon that Benedict is still kept In straps. Dr. F. B. Baker and Dr. W. H. Baldwin made an examina- tion of Benedict this morning, and later Dr. Baldwin stated that he advis- ed placing the patient 111 a nearby san- Itarium for a short time. to await de— velopments. Zaukar Made His Eocene. Joseph Zaukar, who was taken to the Norwalk Hospital some weeks ago. and who was operated on for pleurisy two weeks since, had a delirious attack Wednesday evening, at 8:30 o'clock. and succeeded in making his escape from the institution. jumping out of a window. The night ouderly, nurse and others pursued the man and he was overtaken and brought back. It is not believed that Zaukar's short absence from the institution will :affect his chances for recovery. When he left he was attired only in his retiring robes. —-16 country eggs 250. Joseloff. IRA WHALEY'O NARROW ESCAPE. Had a New Rifle and 8hot Himself Whit. Examlnloglt.

WANTS MANY RENTS. Richard Muller Says Ho Can FIII Forty? Placel. Richard Matter. of the Muller Silk Mills, called on Promoter M. R. Ben- nett yesterday. and asked him It he could provide roots for about forty families. Mr, Muller has had many new families come to town, and has been unable to get houses for them to move into. In fact several of the families are now quartered aboat the office building temporarily. This gives some idea of the necessity of a number of new houses being built this spring. it is thought very like- ly that a building boom will begin in the spring. Rents have been scarce here for some time. It Is Mr. Bennett's Intention to as- sist Mr Muller as much as possible in securing homes for the emplnyocam as it was through Mr Bennett that the mill was induced to come to Norwalk.
