*  *  *  He  broke  a  broomstick  in  half.  *  *  *  It  was  in  the  after-
noon about  1  or  2  o'clock"  (1523).  Witness  spoke  to  Thorne  and
Cowhig  when  he  went  oflf  duty  that  day  as  to  Gartrell's  disposition  to  be
violent;  knows  nothing  about  fight,  because  he  was  oflf  duty  at  the  time;
saw  Gartrell  next  morning  after  the  occurrence  about  6  o  clock  in  bed.
Witness  examined  the  patient  while  asleep  (1523)  and  found  his  eyes
pretty  red  and  one  bruise  on  the  side  of  nis  face,  but  does  not  know
whether  bruise  came  from  a  blow  or  not;  says  did  not  have  the  appear-
ance of  having  been  injured  by  a  blow,  but  that  they  just  looked  red:
no  cuts  about  patient's  eyes;  patient  regarded  as  a  dangerous  man  and
was  in  the  habit  of  making  threats  continuousl}'- — every  day  (1523).
Gartrell  struck  a  patient  with  a  broomstick  on  back  of  the  head  at  n
building;  says  when  he  came  on  duty  Sunday  morning  strait-jacket
was  on  the  patient.  "It  remained  until  half  past  9,  I  think,  as  near
as  I  can  judge  (1524).  *  *  *  We  took  it  oflf  when  his  brother  came
over  to  see  him"  (1524).
