After the patient" had been given their usual Sunday night supper they were taken back to their apartments In com pany with keepers.

In this hall with the patients were six or eight keener*, ano sat on their chairs u.itching the in mates as they walked up and down the hall In a restless manner. There wen no suspicious movements on the i>art < f tne patients to Indicate that they had been planning a revolt of any kind.
