Yes, sir By Mr. Baker: Q. And that you do not mean to change in any way do you? A. No, sir By Dr. Butler: Q. If you were to become insane would you prefer the lodge to the other confinement? A. I should prefer the bed-straps if it was so cold as I have seen it sometimes. Q. How cold was it there? A. I dont exactly know the temperature. Q. Was it near freezing? A. It was so the men would suffer without clothing. By Dr. Eaton: Q. When that man was put in the lodge was he so violent that he could not have been clothed? A. It would have been necessary to put some restraint on him if he had any clothing on him. Q. And the reason he had no clothes on him was because he would tear them off.
