[page 935] Ques. Do you think it objectionable to allow the public to go in under the charge of an officer at proper times and seasons in the judgment of the officer, and do you not think it objectionable to go in by a private entrance into the midst of a female ward without any warning? Ans. I think that very objectionable, and I have told you it was under the impulse of terror that I went up there, as you would have gone or anybody else that had a friend there. Ques. Did you satisfy yourself just what the scream was? Ans. No, sir. I found my friend comfortable and turned and went down again. Ques. It is a very common thing in going past a lunatic asylum to hear screams of all varieties? Ans. Yes, sir. from early morning to late at night And you cannot get a minutes sleep from 5 oclock to 9 oclock. But this voice I thought I knew. Ques. When you got up there you found it was not the voice you thought it was? Ans. I judged it was not.
