THE TOMBS DOCTOR.
HIS OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDYING
*CRIM.'NAL NATURE.
Most of Ilin Patients Suffer From the Ef
fect* of Dissipation—Victims of Morphine
and Opium—Placebo For Those Who
Feign Illness.
While his duties are limited officially
to the care and medical treatment of the
inmates of the Tombs, or city prison,
Dr. O. J. Ward undoubtedly has one of
the most interesting fields of professional
practice and study. It extends among a
class of patients which, taken all in
all, are hardly to be duplicated any
where else.
It was not to dilate on the valuable
opportunities to science presented to the
city prison physician for the making of
a study or specialty of criminology in
his calling, however, that I visited Dr.
Ward recently, but to ascertain from
him some of the more interesting details
of his work and experience. I found
him evidently about 55 years old, with
pleasant and kindly features. When he
spoke, he expressed himself meditatively
and to the point His words were well
weighed, and there could be no miscon
struing his meaning.
“Oh, there is no doubt of the Tombs
being a fine place to make a study in
the line of criminology, ” said Dr. Ward
when I first broached the subject of my
visit and alluded to the field open in
this line. “The material is here, and the
opportuuiites for observation are unlim
ited. ’ ’
In answer to my question as to the
physical condition of the prisoners at
the Tombs and their ailments the phy
sician replied:
“About 75 per cent of all that come
in here suffer from some gastric and
nervous troubles, the results of dissipa
tion. Thirty-five per cent of these are or
have been addicted to the opium or
morphine habit. After these opiate vic
tims have been here a short while and
their access to their favorite drug cut
off their sufferings become pitiable to
a degree.
“I have had patients here of this
class,” he continued, “to whom I had
to administer as high as 30 grains of
morphine in one day to save their lives
This dose would be sufficient to kill
about five ordinary persons not accus
tomed to the drug.”
That victims to the opium and mor
phine habits should furnish as many as
35 out of every 100 criminals landing
in the city prison, when the police and
other authorities of the city are pro
claiming that the open sale or use of
these drugs has been entirely suppressed
or stamped out, somewhat surprised
me, and I asked Dr. Ward whence this
particular class of prisoners came from.
“The alcoholic patients are prin
cipally from the upper section of the
city, but the morphine or opium vic
tims, as a rule, all come from the lower
part of the city,” he replied. ' ‘One of
the most pitiable subjects of the opium
habit that came here was George Appo,
the green goods operator, who is the son
of Quimbo Appo, the Chinese murderer.
Appo testified before the Lexow com
mittee against McNally, the king of
the green goods men. Appo had not
been in the Tombs without his opium
for over a few days when the want of
the drug began to assert itself on his
efitire system. His moans and groans at
night fairly kept awake and annoyed
all the prisoners in the other cells on
the same corridor. ”
One curious feature, from a medical
standpoint, about the Tombs prisoners
is that they almost immediately become
seized with the impression that they
are suffering from all sorts of ailments
and want treatment. They ruminate
over their old complaints and shout for
the doctor, whereas if they were at
home they would never think of need
ing medical attendance.
With the habitual criminal or “re
peaters” and “revolvers,” as they are
called, this is not the case. These know
the regulations of the prison and under
stand that the least troublesome way to
get along is to cause as little annoyance
as possible. It is remarkable also to no
tice how newcomers to the city prison
quite readily become reconciled to the
surroundings. The first day they appar
ently feel their degradation, but in a
few days it is wonderful to behold
them, laughing and joking about their
predicaments.
Equally remarkable is the way the
newcomers, or at least those committed
for petty offenses, will take to lionizing
and looking up to those committed for
the higher grades of crime, such as
murder and bank robbery.
“A class of people who are great at
feigning illness are those who come
down here from the workhouse on
Blackwell’s island, ” said Dr. Ward fur
ther. “As soon as I hear of these
complaining and find them in a normal
Condition I tell them they require in

mbdiifine, and'lf they take any it will
do them more harm than good. If they
are per&islent after my examination or
advice, why, I give them a prescription
calling for placebo, which is really
something in the name of a medicine
only, but in reality composed of pills of
common bread or a colored water. This
placebo acts like a charm in these cases,
for when I go my rounds and ask the
placebo patients how they feel after tak
ing this medicine they declare the rem
edy excellent and want to know why I
did not prescribe it for them before.
“One thing that surprises me here is
the way criminals charged with mon
strous crimes secure the sympathy of
those women who are of a benevolent or
charitable turn of mind. These crimi
nals pour alleged stories of their fall
from grace and innocence into the ears
of these confiding people, but in nine
cases out of ten where the prisoner is
helped and gets out he or she makes
sport of the credulity of the benefactor, ”
concluded Dr. Ward as he stepped out
of his office to make his rounds.—New

PLAN OF A LONDON PAPER.
Suggested That England, the United States
and Italy Form a New Dreibund.
London, Sept. 16. —The St. James
Gazette publishes a leading editorial ar
ticle, headed “A New Trippie Alli
ance.” In the course of its remarks on
the subject the St. James Gazette points
out the menacing tone of the conti
nental semiofficial press on the subject
of Turkey, and says:
“We are openly threatened with joint,
hostile European action if we interfere
(in Turkey) against the will of the pow
ers. But there is one combination which
British statesmanship might effect. The
states which have little to gain from
Russia could act with us and end the
tension. The United States and Italy
are both understood to be friendly to
Russia. Nevertheless neither is yet too
deeply involved to be able to assume an
independent attitude under the British
inspiration.
“Why should not England, the United
States and Italy form a new dreibund?
Alone of the nations of the earth, the
people of the United States can under
stand tiie impulse which would drive
Englishmen to war in order to suppress
tyranny or rescue the oppressed. Plenty
of Americans would regard with enthu
siasm the spectacle of the Union Jack
and the Stars and Stripes floating side
by side in the Bosphorus to back up
their joint demand.”
Continuing, the St. James Gazette
points out that Italy is ready to join
England in this matter if invited. The
article concludes:
“It might be expected that the Rus
sian combination which would go to
pieces at the mere aspect of this genuine
league of peace and that the new drei
bund might lead to a fresh grouping of
powers and the delivery of Europe both
from Turkish misrule and the danger
ous thralldom to Russia into which it is
sinking.”
The Standard publishes a dispatch
from Constantinople saying that the
young Turkish party is covering the
city with placards, inciting the people
to dethrone the sultan. Serious trouble,
it is added, is certain to occur within a
week. Old Turkish troopships are
nightly deporting Armenians to the
Black sea. where, it is believed, they
are drowned.
The British residents, at the instance
of the British embassy, have telegraphed
to Lord Salisbury stating that their
lives and proper, y are in danger. The
French residents have taken similar ac
tion. The British and French fleets are
now nearer the mouth of the Darda
nelles.

THE ROME TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 17, 1896.
FOR FALL BUSINESS
Every Advertiser Should Be
Represented
IN THE TRIBUNE’S TRADE EDITION
It Will Be Issued Early in October and
Will Eclipse All Previous Efforts
In This Line.
Readers of The Tribune have
learned to look forward to each new
and successful achievment of Rome’s
great daily. We have issued several
special editions since the present
management has been in charge and
we are happy to say that each and
every one has been an improvement
on its predecessor as has been evinced
by the popular public favor with
which they have been received.
Early in October we intend to issue
a special edition which will eclipse
our previous efforts. Rome is steadily
growing and there is healthy and sub
stantial improvement going on all
over the section of country tributary
to the North Georgia metropolis. Now
is the time to keep our advantages
before the people.
In no other way can this be done
quite so successfully as through the
medium of a widely circulated news
paper like The Tribune. Every edi
tion of a special character that we
have gotten out has gone abroad on
its mission of progress and the results
have been made apparent by the at
tention attracted to this section of
country.
We have endeavored to make every
edition as full and complete as possi
ble, but in this one we want to cover
the whole ground. All that we ask is
the liberal co-operation of the people
for whom we have labored so earnestly
and for whom we expect to continue
to work as long as we control the des
tinies of The Tribune
It will be to the interest of every
business or professional man in North
Georgia and North and East Alabama,
to secure space in this great issue
The merchant, the manufacturer, the
land owner, the mine operator, the
professional man and all who are in
terested in educational, industrial
work, or emigration work, will he
benefitted by represention in its col
umns.
Not less than ten thousand readers,
in every part of the country, and
especially in the West and Northwest,
will read this great edition and profit
by the information gained from its
columns. Our solicitors are already
out and will make a thorough canvass
of the country contiguous to Rome
and we bespeak for them the consider
ation which they are entitled to in
promoting this laudable ente n
the interest of our city and section.

sufferer from a scrofulous affection of

of physicians in Washington, D. C.,
Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to

months’ constant treatment here, my
