HOSPITAL SLASHER WAS
INSANE SAY COMMISSION
to (he KVF.KING XJ5W8.
\ Tottenville. March 6.—Stephen
Clark, gardener at the country home
of Ernest Flagg, at Dongan Hills,
who ran amuck at the Smith infirm
ary on January 20, slashing a doctor
and an orderly with a razor, was ex
amined by a commission In lunacy
last Friday. The commission were
l)r. William C. Waiser, John Croak
and Annlng S. Prall.
The witnesses examined were Geo.
Johnson, hospital pharmacist; Jamee
Donovan, an orderly and one of
Clark's victims;- Dr. I). C. Ervine, in
terne at the hospital, Miss Ida M.
Goodrich, a nurse; Miss Agnes
Greenshields, nurie; Dr. Devlin ot
Ne Dorp, and Dr. William H. Prltch
ard, the alienist.
All, with the exception of Doctors
Devlin and Pritchard, were of the
opinion that Clark, at the time ol
liis act, was suffering more from bad
temper than anything else. One ol
the nurses said he was drunk at the
time of the slashing.
Clark was allowed to take the
stand and ho stated he could not
remember what occurred. He did
not remember having been taken to
the hospital as a pneumonia patient,
lie said. If he was drunk he ex
plained. it was the first time in twe
| years. "-The first he knew he liari
been a patient at the Infirmary he
concluded, was when he received lilt
bill. This caused a big laugh.
After Doctors Pritchard and Dev
lin had testified that they believed
the man was Insane at the time ol
liis rampage, the commissioners ad
journed to consider the case. Short
ly after they announced that they
found Clark "Insane at the time ot
his act."
It is understood no further pro
ceeding will be had against him ae
he is considered perfectly rational
now.
