During these years have you ever seen any cases of illtreatment of patients. Ans. Yes, I have seen one case; that was within a year, one of the attendants illused a patient by the name of Eaton. He came up into what they call the veranda. I as at work in the lodge painting, happened to look through the grates and Eaton came up from the bathroom, could not say what he had been doing, and Proctor the lodge boy kicked him three or four times. I told him to stop that or I would report him. Proctor was working his notice and his notice was about out.
