Ouray Herald 12-18-1908 Adjudged Insane Marshal Chelders arrested Dominick Facunda while engaged in threatening the life of a woman. It seems that Facunda was under the impression that the girl whose life he desired to take was going to instruct a young lady with whom he is infatuated how to poison herself. He was placed in the city jail and later taken before Judge Haskins of the county court, where a jury adjudged him insane and he was taken to Pueblo Tuesday by Sheriff Hobson and placed in the insane asylum.

Ouray Herald 12-25-1908 Local Generalizations Sheriff Hobson returned Friday evening from Pueblo where he went to take Dominick Facunda to the insane hospital. Before reaching Pueblo, Sheriff Hobson had some trouble with his man, though when he left Ouray he was quiet as could be for a while. By the time he reached Pueblo, Facunda was becoming violent, but was taken care of by the attendants there.

Fairchild, Harry N.
Rocky Mountain News 12-24-1894 Harry N. Fairchild was among those removed to Pueblo yesterday morning. He was in charge of Deputy Sheriffs John Murray, A. A. Ebersoll and another attendant. He was, as usual, kept heavily handcuffed with mitts. The unfortunate man raved more quietly than in court on Saturday. He was evidently much exhausted from the trial and was very weak. He talked incoherently to those about him, but offered little resistance as he was placed aboard the cars. It is feared that he will not recover, so great has been the strain upon his nervous system. On the same train were Stephen St. John, Barnell Allen and Mrs. Dunbar. St. John was very noisy, but the other two patients could not by their actions have been distinguished from ordinary passengers. There are left in the hospital six men and eleven women who are insane.

Rocky Mountain News 12-7-1894 Declared Insane Former Deputy Secretary of State, Who Was Prominent in Political Circles, Is Taken to the Insane Ward of the County Hospital Harry Fairchilds, a well known politician and formerly a deputy secretary of state, is temporarily deranged. He was taken to the county hospital by Deputy Sheriff R. Y. Force yesterday afternoon, and if there is no improvement in his condition a jury will be called to pass formally upon the question of his lunacy. The change in Fairchilds' condition has been noticeable for a short time only. Within the past few days his actions have indicated that he was incapable of caring for himself, and he has frequently been assisted in finding his way out of the places with which he is familiar. He has many acquaintances in the city and is perhaps as well known as any politician in Denver, having always taken an active part in all matters of a political nature.

Rocky Mountain News 12-23-1894 Tears of Pity Fell Harry N. Fairchild Declared Insane in the County Court A Pitiful Scene Enacted in the Presence of Old Friends Fairchild Was Formerly Assistant Secretary of State, a Prominent Politician and Well Liked Man, but Reason Has Lost Her Sway and Yesterday His Condition Was Shocking to Those Who Knew Him Will Be Kept at the County Hospital Until There is Room in the Asylum Other Lunatics in Court The county court room was filled with a large crowd yesterday afternoon, composed of many of the leading politicians of the city and state, and one of the saddest scenes ever witnessed within the walls of the court house was presented. Harry N. Fairchild, formerly assistant secretary of state, was the principal actor in the drama. He was brought from the county hospital in charge of guards, his hands in muffs and his wild cries startling all who were in the building. So violent was the form of the mania that he was not permitted to take the stand, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he was restrained from doing injury to the spectators. Harry Noble Fairchild! he screamed, The first god of the earth. All who knew the once brilliant and genial young man, still in the years that mark the sunny and hopeful side of life, were deeply affected by the scene. Amid the turmoil created by his cries, the people sat quietly, and no remark of the insane man, although many were witty and some grotesque, caused a smile on the face of anyone. The occasion was one of the deepest solemnity. In maudlin tones Fairchild fought again the battles of the war, which he entered as a boy. Again he was behind the walls of Andersonville, and lived over the days and months of anguish, hunger and cruelty. Occasionally he recognized some friend in the crowd. There's Tommy Anderson, he said. He's all right. Hello, John Murray. I know you. You're a Catholic and a Christian. He never ceased speaking for an instant, and most of his remarks were addressed to the court. Judge! Judge! he yelled, addressing the court, both your legs are off, and your heart's been hanging out for some time. Airships, canary birds, campaigns and other things and objects were hopelessly tangled in his brain. All looked on in wonder at the strange spectacle, and not a heart that did not beat with pity at the saddest sight ever seen by friend or enemy. Harry Fairchild was assistant to Secretary of State Melvin Edwards. Prior to that time he was connected with the railway mail service. He has been prominent in every political campaign in Colorado for the past ten or fifteen years. While an ardent partisan, his genial nature made him a favorite among all classes. He was a staunch friend, and sacrificed much for the men whose cause he espoused. The doctors testified that the disorder was, under certain conditions, curable. The jurors saw the strange actions of the man, and these were far more convincing than the testimony of experts. They were absent only a few moments, and amid a hush Clerk Reitler read the verdict, that Harry Noble Fairchild is so disordered in his mind as to be dangerous to himself and to others, and as to render him incapable of managing his own affairs. The patient will be confined in the county hospital until such time as there is room in the asylum at Pueblo, when he will be removed there. Another insane man who occasioned no less trouble was Stephen St. John. He sat in the court room with his hands muffled, and while talking little, was so violent that the guards had to keep him in his seat by force. He wished to see his mother, and outside of this request was uncommunicative. The poor old lady who has tried for more than a year to postpone this evil day was not present. A similar verdict was returned as in Fairchild's case. Thomas Ash and Byron L. Allen were also found to be lunatics. Both have a mild form of mania, and looked in wonder at the queer antics of their violent fellow patients. The case of E. W. Bowen, who is confined in a private asylum at Bloomington, Ill., was also called. Attorney M. A. Haines filed his bond in $10,000 as conservator of the estate. George W. Miller, John M. Berkey and Henry Apple were appointed appraisers to report the value of the property belonging to the insane man.

Denver Evening Post 12-24-1894 Unfortunate Mr. Fairchild Harry N. Fairchild formerly assistant secretary of state was adjudged insane Saturday afternoon in the county court. Mr. Fairchild has been confined in the county hospital for some time and when brought into court his hands were tied and all his actions were as a man hopelessly insane, and the jury rendered a verdict accordingly. He will be taken to Pueblo in a few days.

Denver Evening Post 1-7-1895 Harry Fairchild Dead Dissolution Occurs in the Pueblo Asylum Harry N. Fairchild, at one time deputy secretary of state under Melvin Edwards, died at the insane asylum at Pueblo yesterday. Fairchild was a well known character in Denver for many years. He was a veteran of the late war, and his experiences while a prisoner at Andersonville resulted in his loss of memory, and left him dependent upon his friends for support. He felt the passage of the Andersonville pension bill would make him less a p__per (unreadable). The failure of this measure to become a law was quickly followed by the failure of his brain to perform its proper functions.

Rocky Mountain News, 1/7/1895 Fairchild's Death - Bright and Genial Nature Destroyed by Despondency. Harry N. Fairchild died at the insane asylum at Pueblo last evening. The end has been expected by his friends in this city since he was committed to the asylum three weeks ago. His condition at that time was precarious and the physicians did not think that he would long survive. The trial in the county court attracted great attention and the audience was composed of some of the best known politicians in the state. Harry Fairchild was formerly deputy secretary of state under Melvin Edwards. For some time he has been despondent at the failure to pass the bill to pension the prisoners at Andersonville. He endured the horrors of that dungeon for many a wary month and was deeply interested in the act pending before congress for the relief of the veterans who were detained until their exchange could be effected. The first thing that attracted the attention of his friends to the fact that his mind was unbalanced was his appearance at the court house and his inability to find his way about, although he was perfectly familiar with every room and corridor. When the trial was in progress he spent the time in informing the court that "I Harry Nelson Fairchild am the first god of the earth." The scene beggars him to the days when his wit was quick and his perception the brightest, wept at the sad sight. He was know as a generous man and his death will be universally regretted by a wide circle of friends.

In checking the bills it was found that few of the dates agreed with the prison records as to date of removal of patients, in some cases the difference being as great as two weeks. No bills were in the possession of the committee for transferring Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. Walin. Hart and Clarke appear in the bill as escaped lunatics.

Denver Evening Post 9-26-1896 Denver's Insane in Dismal Quarters Arapahoe county, through negligence of its officials, pays thousands of dollars annually to the state insane asylum for the care of its insane and the people never receive the benefit of the money expended. By the manner in which the state authorities permit the state asylum to be conducted they are responsible to the people of Arapahoe county for taking their thousands and giving them but slight benefits in return. Superintendent Thoms of the Pueblo asylum says Arapahoe county is entitled to but 33 per cent of the patients in the institution, and that its allowance is already present within the walls. The county commissioners of Arapahoe county know that the people whom they represent contribute 46 per cent of the support of the state asylum, yet they crowd their insane into small, badly-lighted cells in the basement of the county hospital instead of exerting sufficient endeavors to force the state asylum to receive patients for whom the institution has been paid. The hospital is now sheltering twenty-five insane patients when it should be sheltering none. There are no facilities and what means are at the disposal of the superintendent and medical staff are inadequate to cope with the constantly increasing number of lunatics. The hospital authorities are struggling nobly but it is a severe tax upon them and the county. It is a shame of many appealing voices (?) that the insane of the county are so poorly taken care of and that a dangerous lunatic should be made to suffer irritation beyond measure because of a lack of better quarters
During the present year the county hospital has been relieved by the state asylum of but twenty-five of its charges who had been forced upon it by a lack of room at the state asylum, where they are firmly denied admission. At one time not many weeks ago there were nine persons tried in the county court on the charge of insanity, and all adjudged insane. They were at once taken to the county hospital for temporary detention. There are now at the hospital twenty-five persons who are adjudged insane, but who have not been sent to the state asylum. The county must support these people, regardless of their 46 per cent of the support of the state asylum. The patients at present in the county hospital are: Alice Farrell
Of this number four are dangerous to others as well as themselves. They are Ethel Jackson, Godfrey, Peletier and Farrell. They are patients that require constant attention

Rocky Mountain News 11-2-1896 Amid Scenes of Horror County Hospital Is Crowded With Insane Citizens
Thereby dangles a story a narrative showing how well the county doesn't provide for her wheely citizens, and exemplifying the extra labor and unenviable experience to which the hospital attendants are subjected. The county hospital never was intended for a lunatic asylum. Never was built with the idea that under its walls would be sheltered at one time, a score and a half insane, ranging from the white-haired old lady who is simply off at times, to the wild, destructive maniac in whose diseased brain is moulded only a desire to kick, bite, glare and make a large noise. A reporter for The News took in the whole works yesterday, through the kindness of Dr. Simon, a member of the medical staff
The second floor of the old building contains a miscellaneous assortment of the daft, all women. When the top of the stairs was reached yesterday a good scene for the impressionist was presented
Women Without Minds Clarinda Montgomery, Clara Wilson and Alice Farrell muttered under their breath when saluted. This is a miscellaneous lot, said Dr. Simon. None of them are very troublesome, but a good watch is necessary. You notice each has her peculiarity. We allow them the freedom of the hall and they roam through it all day. We are forced to do this, as the ward is too small to allow them to stretch their limbs within. They flit to and fro often not saying a word to each other for hours. Should they be allowed this liberty? Well, not exactly, but circumstances sometimes alter cases.

Denver Evening Post 10-16-1897 Went Raving Mad A Doubly Unfortunate Inmate of the Crittenton Home Lizzie Ferrill, an inmate of the Florence Crittenton home, was taken violently insane last night and the police were called upon for aid. She is about 20 years of age and has been confined in the home for four months. For the last three weeks she has been acting queerly, but displayed no inclination to be violent until last night. All day yesterday the matron of the home noticed that the girl was acting more queerly than usual, and gave her some medicine to quiet her nervous system. This had the desired effect for a time, but about 8:30 o'clock last night she became very violent. She raved in her delirium and threw everything she could get her hands on to the floor. She tore her hair from her head and cursed the matron and everyone connected with the institution. During her ravings she mentioned the name of a prominent minster of the gospel and declared that he was responsible for her ruin. She had to be held on a sofa by the matron and the inmates while word was sent to the police station for help. Officer McIntosh was sent to the home, and seeing the condition of the girl had her sent to the police station, where she is now under the care of the police matron. She will be sent to the county hospital.

The jury brought in a verdict of insanity and the woman will be sent to Pueblo asylum as soon as there is room for her. Evidence was produced that the woman's husband, Tom Farry, had continuously practiced the most brutal treatment of his wife, neglecting to provide for her properly, even in sickness. They have a bright little girl of 4 years, to whom the mother is very much attached. The case is one that merits the attention of Secretary Thomson. The Farry family recently came from Denver to Fremont county.

He became violent and attempted to hurt his family. Sweeping dust off the huge Midland bridge at Manitou was one of the pastimes of Michael Ryan, the Hermit of Manitou, according to his own testimony in the County Court at Colorado Springs, where he was adjudged insane. Afterward he was taken to the State Asylum at Pueblo. Ryan is said to have escaped several years ago from the State Asylum of Minnesota. He became possessed of the hallucination that he held in a state license to reside in his cabin in Manitou, and that he must keep busy in order to retain his residence. Of late he had assaulted several persons.

Ferren, John
Telluride Daily Journal 9-8-1897 John Ferren was taken into custody last evening by Sheriff Downtain on complaint of several citizens of San Miguel who claimed that Ferren was insane and an unsafe man to be allowed his freedom. He was placed on trial in the county court this afternoon before Judge McGarvey and a jury, and after hearing the evidence the jury adjudged him insane and the judge ordered that he be taken to the state asylum at Pueblo. Ferren is a stranger in Telluride and has no relatives or friends in this section. He is not in a dangerous condition and with proper treatment will no doubt soon recover completely.

Telluride Daily Journal 10-8-1897 Sheriff Downtain left this morning for Pueblo, having in charge John Ferren, who was adjudged insane some time ago. Ferren has been held since then in confinement waiting until room could be found for him in the state insane asylum.

Rocky Mountain News 2-4-1888 A Case of Neglect Leadville, Colo., Feb. 3 A case of gross heartlessness and negligence on the part of Dr. Thombs, superintendent of the state insane asylum at Pueblo, came to light today. Mrs. James Ferry, of Leadville, about November 10 was adjudged insane and taken to the asylum by Sheriff Lamping. Her husband is employed by the water company of this city and is well and favorably known. He wrote to the asylum the first of the month inquiring how his wife was and received the following reply: Pueblo, February 2. James Ferry, Leadville. Mrs. Ferry died here on the twenty-seventh of January. I did not have your address or would have notified you. She is buried here. She had been in a helpless condition for nearly two months. She died from dropsy. Yours truly, P. R. Thombs. The superintendent cannot make such an excuse as not knowing the address, as he wrote Ferry on November 26, 1887, stating the condition of his wife and addressed the letter in care of the water company. It is a matter that the board of commissioners should take in hand and investigate.

Rocky Mountain News 10-31-1886 Branded As a Lie The following card will appear in this morning's Tribune-Republican: To the Editor of the Tribune-Republican: Dear Sir: - In this mornings issue of your paper I find an article referring to Judge Miller's management of a legacy left me by my brother, the late Isaac N. Field. According to the terms of the will, I am to have the use of the legacy during my natural life, and at my death the principal is to go to my heirs. The house and lot mentioned in your article were purchased by me after mature consideration and because Mrs. Field requested me to buy a home as the place which she then occupied and its associations were unfit for a family of girls and boys of tender age. At the same time and from the same party from whom the house was purchased, I bought a wagon and team which were given to two of my sons and which they afterwards sold. As to the price paid for said lot previous to its purchase I consulted prominent property owners in West Denver, among whom I may mention John Force, an old settler, Lyman, Colo., a former owner of the property, and several others, all of whom assured me that the property was worth the sum asked for it. When the purchase of this property was first mentioned to Mrs. Field she objected, not to the price to be paid, but to living in West Denver, and after the purchase was consummated she objected to occupying the house for the same reason, but continued to live in the house owned by Judge Elbert and created the debt above referred to. Mr. Allen would have the public understand, that my dutiful son, I. H. Field filed a petition for the purpose of having a curator appointed under the will. I. H. Field did nothing of the kind, he filed a petition for the purpose of having his father declared a lunatic and such was the verdict of six of the County court's regular jurors. He and the rest of the family appeared in court dressed in clothing my money had furnished, treated me not as a poor lunatic needing the protection of the law, but assisted by an eminent criminal lawyer, labored to convict me of an infirmity, which if true, must attaint their blood and mine for ever. There was not a witness who testified that I was insane and there is no one outside this group of conspirators that will have the effrontery to insinuate that there is the slightest defect in my mental organism. All the evidence given was to the effect that I was addicted to the use of strong drink, and the court ruled and instructed that under the statutes habitual drunkenness was a form of insanity. Being charitable enough to suppose that this jury were not natural born idiots, and that they did not violate their oaths, this remarkable construction of the law affords an explanation of their conduct in returning the verdict which they did I was educated in the law myself, have a clear understanding of my rights, and hope that I possess the manhood to maintain them. I was examined and admitted to practice by two of the judges of the Supreme court of the grand old commonwealth of Kentucky in 1857; the year following I returned to the state of Missouri and was examined and admitted to practice by the father of Judge Miller, one of the most eminent jurists who ever graced the bench of that state. I began the practice in the old Sixth Judicial district at a time when such names as Vest and Cockerell (United States senators), Crittenden, and Phillips, and Heard, and Hardin, adorned the list of attorneys. I was engaged in a successful and lucrative practice until the breaking out of the war in 1861, when I was sent to Pikes Peak to close up the business of one of the largest freighting firms in the Great West. Having done this to the entire satisfaction of all concerned, I began an individual combat which was to solve the problem of my life. What the result has been I leave others to judge
Respectfully, Curtis H. Field, Denver, Colo., Oct. 30, 1886.

Rocky Mountain News 2-21-1892 Attempted Suicide Leadville, Colo., Feb. 20 August Fischer was adjudged insane in the county court to-day, and after being placed in jail he attempted twice to commit suicide, the first time by cutting his throat with a pocket knife, which he had obtained in some manner, and the second time by hanging himself by means of a blanket, secured from one of the cells. He was frustrated in both attempts, however, and is now in close confinement.

Leadville Herald Democrat 2-27-1892 Fischer's Whims He Wants to Go Back to Kansas and Put in the Spring Crops August Fischer, who was found to be insane by a jury in the county court recently, is still in the county jail, and, although not so boisterous as formerly, he is far from being a sane man. He is generally kept in a cell to himself, but occasionally he is let out into the iron cage, at which time the other prisoners seem to delight in teasing him. A few mornings ago, when one of the prisoners was being taken to the district court room, Fischer was told to come along. He bustled about, blackened his shoes and combed his hair, but was afterward told that he would have to wait a little while. When asked if he was ready to go, Fischer replied, Yes, I'll go any time; I want to go back to Kansas, so's I can get the spring crops into the ground, and send you fellows a case of eggs nice, fresh ranch eggs. One of the prisoners told Fischer to dust himself before going out of doors, and he then began brushing his clothes and preparing himself for his contemplated trip, but was doomed to disappointment, and will remain in Leadville a short time yet.

Leadville Herald Democrat 3-8-1892 A Sad Sight A reporter for this journal visited the county jail yesterday, and among the inmates saw August Fisher, the crazy man.

On account of the insane asylum at Pueblo being full, Fisher is obliged to be kept here.

He has solicited the jailer for the privilege for some weeks past, but not until the last few days has his request been granted. August has taken for his partner a gentleman of color who occupies a position on the gang and the two create considerable amusement for the other prisoners by their attempt to make each other's work as easy as possible while cleaning out the gutters. August could not be hired to leave the jail now, even if given his liberty, and he is often sent on errands and given odd jobs to do about the building.

He tied his suspenders and handkerchief together, fastened one end to the cell grating and the other about his neck and dropped, but the blamed thing broke. Three or four times he attempted this, but each time recorded a failure. When asked what he was doing it for, he replied, for fun. To-day a charge of insanity was placed against him. His mother lives in Kansas, and he has a brother in King, Colo., named Stephen Fisher.

Rocky Mountain News 1-28-1892 A Strange Case William Fisher's Mind Suddenly Gives Way Meeker, Colo., Jan. 27 William Fisher was brought to town a few days ago, having been found in his cabin acting as though demented. He was brought before the county court yesterday and examined as to his sanity. Medical testimony and the actions of the prisoner himself proved very clearly that he was insane, and he was remanded by the court to the state asylum at Pueblo. His sudden madness was caused by the recent Reed case, which was reported in The Rocky Mountain News. In this case, it will be remembered, Fisher was the main witness for the prosecution, and he created some excitement by refusing to identify the goods stolen. All of the prisoners testified that this man Fisher had stolen the goods himself and asked them to haul them away for safe keeping. One of them afterward swore on the stand that this story was one they had concocted. Since then Arial (William?) Fisher has been staying in the cabin of the dead man from which the goods were stolen, and it is claimed by many that he was really guilty and that the fact of being alone in this cabin, brooding over the case has driven him crazy. By others it is contended that the attempt of the prisoners to fasten the crime upon him, has caused his mind, which was naturally weak, to give way. At present, he is being held here and shows no signs of improving, simply sitting and gazing at vacancy, looking straight at his oldest friends and yet failing to recognize them. One of the Reed boys has been released, having secured his bond, and the rest expect to obtain bondsmen and regain their liberty in a few days time. This case, with its contradictions and strange developments, is causing considerable talk and interest in this section.

Fitzgerald, Charles
Aspen Weekly Times (Aspen, Pitkin County) June 8 1895 The County's Insane - One Patient Recommitted, Another to be Returned From Illinois - In the county court yesterday an order was issued by Judge Johnson recommitting May Schwendinger to the Pueblo asylum. The unfortunate woman was sent to that institution about a year ago and returned to her friends recently in a more normal mental condition. Her mania again manifested itself and grew worse until the legal action of today was deemed advisable. Sheriff Hayes started this morning with Mrs. Schwendinger for Pueblo. When he has delivered her over to the asylum authorities, he may proceed to Jacksonville, Ill asylum and bring from that institution Charles Fitzgerald of this county and place him in the Pueblo Asylum. Fitzgerald has been kept at Jacksonville, at Pitken's county expense, for nearly three years because there was no room for him in the Colorado asylum. Word has been received by county commissioners from Pueblo, that there is room there for more insane patients since the new asylum wing has been completed. The commissioners therefore ordered that Fitzgerald be changed and instructed the sheriff to make the transfer as soon as possible.
Fitzgerald, Charles
Aspen Weekly Times 10-1-1892 An Insane Man's Act Charles Fitzgerald, a lunatic confined in the city jail pending his recovery or ultimate commitment to a madhouse, at an early hour Saturday smuggled a blade of glass into his cell and deliberately undertook to unsex himself. The spectacle was a revolting one. Friday morning last he was found wandering aimlessly up and down the streets. The sleuths were on the alert. A few hours before the assassin had applied the instrument of death to John Powell's modest dwelling and every face upon the streets and in the resorts was rigidly scrutinized. An officer overtaking Fitzgerald began to catechise him. He could only give in incoherent account of himself and stated that the sheriff and posse were running him down. Gone daft, soliloquised the officer, and seizing Fitzgerald, who is a powerful fellow, led him to jail. Jailer Rowe has made several ineffectual attempts to get from him the story of his life, but his faculties were too unsteady to be kept in the middle of the road. He has eaten rapaciously, slept but little and chatted almost incessantly hopping from one subject to another until he almost drove the neighbors wild. Saturday morning he was making a break for liberty when a turnkey ordered him back. He scowled, showed his teeth and slunk back in his cell with a muffled curse. He partook of his food at the regular hours and shortly after dark sought his bunk on the upper tier. His cell mate followed soon after, and was just sinking into a doze when he heard the patter of dripping fluid from the roof, and seizing a light, found a veritable Niagara of blood flowing from Fitzgerald's limbs. The news was heralded through the massive door to the jailer and the madman was dragged from his perch that was now saturated, and upon which he was reclining with a pipe in his mouth. The jailer was horrified. Stripping the clothes from his bleeding ward, he found a torrent flowing from an ugly orifice in the scrotum. Why did you do it? demanded the reporter, who had reached the scene. The doctor told me to, replied the prisoner, pressing a cloth to the emasculated parts. What doctor? interposed a prisoner. Dr. Rose. Meanwhile Dr. Downs had been summoned and arriving took several stitches in the ghastly wound. The poor fellow was very weak from the loss of blood, and while not in any immediate danger of death, is in a very critical condition. I am not superstitious, said Jailer Rowe to a reporter as they stood in the glare of an electric bulb, but it has flashed across my mind two or three times that this poor wretch in his delirium might have been the man who blew up Powell. Impossible! gasped the reporter. No, the lunatic has been guilty of stranger things in his cunning and irresponsibility. Have you examined him? Yes; he claims to have been acquainted with Powell. Worked with him? No; well you can't confine him to any given subject long enough to confirm anything. He seems to be constantly haunted with an insane fancy that the sheriff is after him. It's a strange case. When questioned by a Times reporter Fitzgerald stated that he had been employed as a miner at Leadville and came to this city three years ago, since which time he had worked as a day laborer.
Fitzgerald, Charles
Aspen Weekly Times 10-1-1892 The Lunatic's Fate Charles Fitzgerald, the unfortunate laborer who was found meandering aimlessly up and down the streets on the morning of the Powell assassination, was Tuesday afternoon taken before Judge England upon a warrant charging him with lunacy, and arraigned for examination before a jury and judge. The story of his apprehension, his strange conduct, his attempt to unsex himself while in jail and the hallucinations from which he was shrinking was recited, after which the respondent himself was placed in the witness chair. Fitzgerald told incoherently how he had been haunted by men of every description, who were thirsting for his life. Submitted the jury experienced no difficulty in arriving at a verdict, and Fitzgerald was adjudged insane and ordered committed to the asylum for the insane. Turned over to Deputy Sheriff Crowder, the lunatic was removed to the jail below and started for Pueblo last night, under the impression that he had been sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Nothing whatever could be learned of the victim's past life, although he claims to have been employed in Leadville for three years prior to coming to Aspen.

Aspen Weekly Times 10-1-1892 A Mystery Cleared
Michael Groff, the Austrian who was arrested upon a suspicion that he had some knowledge of foul play in that his brother Matt had threated the deceased, strengthened the suspicions yesterday morning when he made another attempt at suicide in the county jail. Sharing the cage with him were Powell, who is serving a term for the slaying of Davis, and Charles Fitzgerald, who is now awaiting removal to the asylum for the insane at Pueblo. Fitzgerald had been an inmate of the city jail with Groff, and it was the lunatic who heralded the news in time to prevent Groff's hanging himself on Sunday last. Meeting again in the county jail, the lunatic eyed the Austrian very closely, expecting him to repeat the effort at strangulation. Meanwhile the Austrian was laying plans to execute himself, and improvising a noose by means of a piece of wire, was adjusting it about his neck when the wary eye of the lunatic detected him. Giving the alarm, Sheriff Stewart hastened to the cage and relieving the suicidal prisoner of his wire, locked him in a cell

Aspen Daily Leader 9-27-1892 Will Go To The Asylum Charles Fitzgerald to Be Examined as to His Sanity Charles Fitzgerald, the lunatic who has been making so much trouble for the police authorities for the past few days, will to-day be arraigned before Judge England and a competent jury to be examined as to his sanity. Charles will, without doubt, be sent to the asylum for the insane at Pueblo. Fitzgerald's latest fancy is that he is to be hanged, and he construes the least sound he hears as being made by men on work for the gallows from which he is to be swung into eternity. Sunday night religious services were held in the police court room, and Fitzgerald told his fellow prisoners in all apparent sincerity that the exercises were being held for his benefit prior to his departure from this sphere.

Aspen Daily Leader 9-28-1892 Sent to the Asylum Charles Fitzgerald Is Adjudged Insane by a Jury Charles Fitzgerald was yesterday adjudged insane by a jury in the county court, and Judge England sent the poor deranged individual to the asylum for the insane at Pueblo. The patient was brought into court at 3 o'clock, and from his restless eyes and nervous twitching it was apparent to all that he was mentally unbalanced. He took more than a passing interest in all that transpired, and seemed eager to catch every sentence uttered by the witnesses. The drift of the testimony was a review of Fitzgerald's actions since his arrest on Friday last, and as an expert Dr. Ramsey testified that the man was without doubt insane and that the asylum was the place for him. Fitzgerald, upon being sworn on his own behalf, reeled off a weird, disconnected story, at the conclusion of which the jury, who were J. P. McDonald, C. H. Geldham, Andrew Malqueen, T. J. Collins, Charles Dustin and L. A. W. Brown, pronounced him insane. When the verdict was made known to Fitzgerald he shrugged his shoulders, and with a display of irony, remarked: That doctor's evidence was the cause of me getting two years.

It is said that one of the first things which will be done at the session will be to take steps for the immediate removal of the insane now confined in the county jail to an asylum where they can receive proper treatment. It is earnestly to be hoped that this report is well founded and that these unfortunates may soon be taken from their present quarters.

Poor Lee had become so weakened by confinement that he could scarcely stand. Fitzgerald seems to have grown somewhat better and his total recovery to reason is confidently looked for within the next two months. Sheriff Stewart apprehended no trouble in making the removal.

Consequently the Colorado State hospital is starting its second class of apprentice cooks and plans to make it a regular feature, with two classes a year. The hospital feeds 5,000 persons three times a day from nine kitchens. Cooks accustomed to smaller kitchens are lost in mass meal production. The apprentice cooks all receive six months' training and experience before becoming full-fledged cooks. In the new class are Mrs. Mildred Peterson, Mrs. Irene Harris, Miss Lata Schroyer, Mrs. Helen Cermak, Miss Bessie Bellitti, Mrs. Jane Queen, Mrs. Genova Chandler and Mrs. Arlene Fjelstad.

The man was found near Fountain and all of the day previously had been tramping about in the vicinity of Turkey creek and the Fountain valley. His unusual appearance was reported to the prison authorities at Canon City, where a convict had escaped a few days ago, and they asked Sheriff Weir to search for him. A long hunt in the Turkey creek country was fruitless, but at Fountain, where the sheriff had spread the alarm, Flannagan was found late yesterday and turned over to him. He will be returned to Pueblo today with other mental defectives who recently were adjudged insane.

Several pursued the excited pair to ascertain the trouble, but the old man refused to talk. Deputy Sheriff Hatch took the couple in charge and found out that they were father and daughter. He gave the name of Fleetwood and lives in East Denver. He was nearly heartbroken when the girl attempted to strike him with her hat. He says she was seized with an attack of temporary insanity and jumped from a car, dashing down the street at a fearful speed, he following. He called a hack and went home. A large crowd was attracted by the couple and the feeling was high until the truth was known.

The unfortunate girl had formed a great dislike for her own father and while his testimony was being given frequently interrupted him with incoherent exclamations. A few weeks since she created a sensation in Highlands by following and striking the father. It was a pitiable sight to see the bright young face anxiously watching each witness upon the stand and there was many a moist eye in the court room when she was led away. The doctors testified that with proper medical care she would soon recover; the evidence showed that she was in her 16th year.

Cripple Creek Morning Times 2-27-1900 Jumped From the Train Insane Man Makes a Terrible Leap Injuries Are Not Serious Dived Out of a Window of Rio Grande Train Onto the Rocks of Royal Gorge and Received Only Minor Bruises Denver, Feb. 26. Driven insane by brooding over his misfortunes, Charles Flowers dived headlong through the window of a car on a Rio Grande train in the Royal gorge yesterday morning. He was brought to Denver and will recover. The train was running at the rate of forty miles an hour, through the rock-ribbed canon of the Arkansas, about twelve miles above the hanging bridge. Flower plunged head first through both the heavy panes of glass in the broad double window of the chair car. He landed on the rocks on the river side of the track. When the train was stopped and was backed up to the spot at which he had leaped the trainmen looked for his mangled body on the rocks but it was not there. Across the track the blood-splashed lunatic was concealed behind the projecting buttress of granite, essaying to climb the precipitous walls. He resisted when brought back to the train. His head was badly cut and he complained of pains that indicated internal injuries. Flower jumped from No. 7 (?) the fast transcontinental train. C. L. Rogers, one of the oldest and most reliable conductors on the road was in charge. It was a matter of importance that the train be brought into Denver on time yesterday, of all days, as on that day the new time card went into effect. The train lost thirty minutes stopping and picking the man up. Conductor Rogers telegraphed to Canon City for a physician, who rode to Florence, dressed the man's wounds and administered an opiate to keep him still. At Pueblo another physician was in waiting to see that all was well. At Colorado Springs another examination was made in the five minutes' stop. At Castle Rock the local physician of the Rio Grande was on hand to see to the patient, and when the train pulled into the Union depot it was exactly on the minute and the injured man in good condition. Flowers was taken to the county hospital, where his injuries were pronounced trifling. He has a cut in his temple, a gash in his right wrist, the little finger of his left hand is cut and he complains of a sprained back. All the cuts, it is thought, were made from the dive through the glass, and there is hardly a mark from his fall on jagged rocks from a train going at a high rate of speed. He was still apparently demented, but was quiet.

Rocky Mountain News 7-7-1885 Fogg Can't Be Found A ______ ______ Denver Since the Fourth of July His Friends Very Anxious Over His Absence C. C. Fogg a well-known Colorado Springs man who came to Denver with his wife last Thursday, has been missing since 10 o'clock last Saturday night. Up to a late hour last night there seems to have been no trace of his whereabouts. Mr. Fogg and his wife stopped at the house of Mr. A. P. Bauer to visit a few days before going to Philadelphia to reside. Fogg seems to have met a good many old friends in Denver or to have found some other provocation for getting drunk. He was intending to leave on the Fourth, but seems to have remained intoxicated all day. On Saturday evening at about 8 o'clock Fogg was seen drinking in a saloon near Fifteenth and Champa streets. That is the last his friends have been able to learn about him. He had on his person about $100 in money and two tickets to Philadelpha. The police have been informed of his disappearance but have thus far been unable to find him. His wife is well nigh distracted. Fogg's friends believe that he has been robbed and fear that he has either been foully dealt with or has become deranged and wandered out of town somewhere. In conversation with some of his friends last evening they seemed to strongly incline to the latter theory.

The money is supposed to be the hoardings of years, which the miner has carried about with him, fearing to trust them in a bank of deposit. A constantly growing fear of being robbed was the cause of the man's insanity. A conservator has been appointed for his estate.

Rocky Mountain News 5-23-1896 Fear Drove Him Insane Italian Named Fontana Adjudged Insane at Ridgway Had Money on His Person Ridgway, Colo., May 22 John Fontana, an Italian miner, has been adjudged insane and sent to the Pueblo asylum. The man appeared here and by his strange actions convinced the city authorities that he was of unsound mind. He was arrested and taken to the jail, and upon being searched there was found concealed about his person $3,200 in money, besides papers to the value of another $1,000. The money is supposed to represent the man's earnings for years, which he has carried around with him from place to place, having no faith in banks of deposit. His insanity is the result of a constantly growing fear of being robbed of his hard-earned money. A conservator has been appointed for the unfortunate man's estate.

Ouray Herald 10-18-1900 Wants His Money Italian Who Thinks He is Being Very Badly Treated Denver Times John Fontana has been making himself heard by everyone in the city who does not discourage him to the length of violent excitement. The burden of his song is: I want my money back. He was committed to the county hospital in 1897 because of insanity and was released in 1898. At the time of his commitment he was possessed of $3,000, which was placed in the bank at Ridgway, the court appointing a conservator. It would not be a difficult matter for Fontana to obtain his money if he would file papers with the court; but this he refuses to do and instead he camps on the trail of Dr. Cueno. Judge Wm. Rathmell of the county court of Ouray, makes the following statement concerning the Times' article: The John Fontana referred to was found crazy in Ridgeway in May, 1896, and in the neighborhood of $3,000 was found on his person. He was adjudged insane and sent to the Pueblo asylum. Shortly after he was sent there, his brother appeared before the county court and made a statement that he wanted to take him back to Italy. A little over a year ago, Fontana appeared again in Ouray, and the first time I ever saw the fellow he came in and demanded his money. I told him he could not have the money unless he produced a discharge from the asylum in Pueblo. He insisted that in the scuffle in Ridgway he was out between $500 and $700 that was unaccounted for. He then applied to Ed Bent, the conservator, for his money and was refused without an order from the court. I then received a letter from the Italian consul at Denver, in which complained that Fontana could not recover a sum of money due him or any part of it. I wrote to the consul at Denver to take the necessary steps to recover the money, and also stated in the letter that I believed that the altitude here was too high and wholly unfit for a man of Fontana's temperament. On various occasions I advised Fontana's friends to secure his discharge from the asylum, and that when he presented such discharge he could get all the money left, amounting now to $2,100 or $2,200. The court records (state) that E. J. Bent was appointed conservator on the 19th of May, 1896, and that the amount of money turned over at the time was $2,945.75, and that on the 18th of September $200 was sent to Dr. Tooms (Thombs) to pay John Fontana's fare to Italy, and that other expenses were incurred and paid out of the money in the hands of the court's conservator.

Ouray Herald 10-25-1900 Fontana is Here John Fontana, the Italian who was committed to the insane asylum from Ridgway in 1896 and who had a considerable sum of money on his person at the time, returned from Denver last Monday and presented his discharge from the asylum to the county court. The estate will be finally disposed of on next Monday. He has in the bank here money to the amount of $2100 or $2200. He has carried his discharge since October 3rd, 1899 which isn't the best recommendation in the world for his sanity.

Ouray Herald 11-1-1900 A Queer Case John Fontana, the Italian, is Again Before the Public Acts Very Strange John Fontana, the insane Italian who was committed to the asylum in 1896, and who returned to Ouray last week with his discharge, had his final hearing in Judge Rathmell's court Monday. As has been stated in The Herald before, Fontana had $3,174 on his person at the time he was tried for his sanity. When adjudged insane E. J. Bent was appointed conservator of the estate and took charge of the amount found on his person. This he placed in the bank to Fontana's credit to await his release or the natural course of events. Fontana was discharged from the asylum Oct. 3, 1899, but never appeared for a settlement of the estate until last week, which certainly does not speak well for sanity yet. Monday the case can up for final settlement and he was given the residue of his estate, amounting to $2,162, together with $24 in French and Italian coin. Fontana refused to receipt for it, demanding the full amount taken from him. Evidently he expected that the cost of his maintenance and care during the three years of his incarceration would be borne by the county. The money and all his belongings, held by the conservator, has been placed in the hands of the court. Thus the case stands and just when it will be settled is hard to determine. Fontana left Tuesday morning for Telluride, where he said he was going to work and earn money and put the affair into the hands of the proper authorities for investigation. From Fontana's actions it looks as though his mind was yet in an unsound condition.

Rocky Mountain News 3-10-1897 Paid to the Brother Ouray, Colo., March 9 John Fontana, an Italian, was sent to the insane asylum from here last May. He had over $3,000 on his person and the county judge appointed a conservator for the money. No trace of his relatives could be found until yesterday when his brother Jocco arrived from Italy with power of attorney and certificates of identification. The money will be paid to him and the superintendent of the asylum at Pueblo will allow his brother to accompany him home to Italy.

11-2-1900 Silverite-Plaindealer John Fontana in the County Court Before his honor Judge Rathmell in the county court on Monday, the final hearing of the estate case of John Fontana, E.J. Bent, Conservator, was held, and it was found that the balance in the hands of the conservator amounted to $2,162.15, besides $24.00 in French and Italian coins. Fontana refused to receipt to the court for these sums which are now in the hands of the judge, as the conservator was discharged. Fontana alleges as a reason for his refusal that he never was insane, and demanded all of the original sum found upon his person when he was arrested in Ridgeway. He left for Telluride Tuesday to earn money to prosecute the authorities for withholding the full amount. That Fontana is still of unsound mind there can be no doubt, and it is for the best that his money is still in the hands of the court until he recovers his mental faculties. The particulars of his arrest and trial three years ago need no recapitulation here.

5-22-1896 Silverite-Plaindealer Wheels in His Head Last Saturday John Fontana, an Italian miner who has been around Ouray a good deal lately, and who has been acting queer for a month or more, became violently insane while at Ridgway, and was placed in confinement by the authorities there. The county court issued papers for him Monday, and the sheriff brought him into court, where an inquisition of lunacy was held and the respondent adjudged insane, committed to the charge of the sheriff and ordered placed in the state insane asylum at Pueblo forthwith. Sheriff Benton went out with him Tuesday morning, and was obliged to keep him in irons. One peculiar feature of the case was the fact that over $3,000 in cash was found upon his person, a large amount of which was gold coin and the balance treasury notes and bank bills, and the wonder is that the man has not been robbed or killed. His mania was because of brooding over money matters, and in all probability with proper care and attention he will recover in due time.

10-1-1897 Silverite-Plaindealer John Fontana, who was sent to the insane asylum at Pueblo is probably ere this en route on the ocean to his home in Italy. His chances for recovery in Pueblo were very doubtful, and as he was not dangerous his brother Giacomo concluded to take him home to his friends and relatives. The superintendent of the insane asylum was furnished with $200 by the county judge out of funds to his credit for purchasing tickets to Italy.

Routt County Sentinel 8-12-1921 Had It In For Neighbors and Lands In The Asylum David Forde, who has for a number of years had a homestead in the Deep creek basin not far from the Mystic settlement, was yesterday taken to the State Hospital for the Insane, Sheriff C. W. Neiman escorting him to Pueblo. His departure was hastened by an exciting incident which occurred Monday, when Forde attempted to shoot some of his neighbors. Forde had declared his intentions to become a citizen, before he filed on his homestead, but as time went on he became decidedly queer, and he refused to take the steps to secure his final papers, which would allow him to prove up on his claim. Instead, he spent much of his time denouncing the American government. The time when he must make proof on the claim expired and the land office sent him notice to appear and show cause why his entry should not be cancelled. He refused to accept the registered letters, and he seldom left his place, fearing that it would be jumped. He lived a hermit life. Forde had often threatened his neighbors and said he would shoot anyone who came on his place. Hence he was left severely alone. But Monday he went to the F. N. May ranch, where Mr. May and Charles E. Gibbs were stacking hay. As he approached he fired on the two men with a shotgun, Mr. May being struck in the knee and slightly injured by one stray shot. Forde was overpowered and disarmed by Mr. Gibbs and Omer Songer, who was near, and Sheriff Neiman was sent for.

Forde is a homesteader and has been off for years. He is a native of England. He made final proof on his homestead and at the same time applied for naturalization papers. He refused to appear for naturalization, his malady at that time taking the form of general op to the government. He has continued to occupy the land until neighbors became alarmed at his condition and he was brought before the county court on an insanity charge.

Carbonate Chronicle 6-17-1912 Insane Man Caught Undersheriffs Angus and Harlan yesterday confined in jail Frank Fornier, and placed the charge of insanity against him. The officers had been notified that the man was wandering about the country in the neighborhood of Tennessee pass and Sheriff Schraeder and his deputies spent a good share of Sunday night locating the insane man. When he was found by Mr. Angus and Mr. Harlan, he was roaming at random through the woods on the hills northwest of town. The officers brought him to town yesterday at noon. Fornier is not violent, but it is evident that his mind is unbalanced. He may be tried for insanity in the county court, in case his condition does not show any improvement.

Carbonate Chronicle 7-1-1912 From Sunday's Daily Demented Man Released After a period of several weeks in the county jail, Frank Fornier, who was confined until his unbalanced mental condition had improved, was released yesterday and taken to a ranch, where it is hoped that he will become better. F. Borhatey, proprietor of the London dairy and a relative of the unfortunate man, took him to his ranch yesterday and will care for him until he has improved. Fornier is not violent and is totally harmless. But he could not understand why he was confined in jail. Every time that the jail door was opened he sprang forward and tried to get out. When the door was shut in his face and locked he would turn away without a word and seem to forget his failure to escape. When the man was captured by Undersheriffs Angus and Harlan he was wandering aimlessly about in the woods of Tennessee park.

He was arrested at the Coquoz ranch in Tennessee park Thursday night by Sheriff Schraeder and a deputy and brought to this city early yesterday morning. Fornier is the victim of sudden fits of insanity and became so violent Thursday that the people at the ranch sent word to the officials to take him into custody. The insane man was not captured without a struggle and the officers were forced to exert themselves to get him into the express wagon and bring him to this city.

Carbonate Chronicle 7-22-1912 Dived Headlong From Window Frank Fornier, Insane Prisoner Makes Sensational Escape After Fight With Jailer Philbrick Frank Fornier, who was being held in the county jail on a charge of insanity, made a sensational jail break at 11 o'clock last night and is again at large. The successful dash for liberty was the result of a very cunningly and carefully planned course of action by Fornier and could not have been better carried out by a perfectly sane person. When Jailer Stephen Philbrick entered the jail corridor at 11 o'clock last night to pull the lever to lock the prisoners in their cells, Fornier, who had been crouching just inside the outer door, sprang upon him and seized him by the throat. The insane man pushed the surprised jailer aside and dashed through the door into the kitchen. In a moment Philbrick had recovered himself and was after the prisoner. Fornier went straight for one of the windows opening out of the kitchen into the jail yard and dived head foremost through it. The jailer made a grab for him and succeeded in catching hold of his legs. He pulled the prisoner back into the room where the two men had a fierce tussle. Fornier succeeded in breaking away from Philbrick and dived again through the window. Running swiftly across the yard he climbed over the fence and disappeared into the darkness. In making his desperate dive through the window Fornier was severely cut about the head and during the struggle between him and Jailer Philbrick the blood was spattered all over the kitchen. Philbrick's face and clothes were also smeared with Fornier's blood, while the inside of the prisoner's hat, which was found in the room was dyed a deep red. The sheriff's office and the police force were immediately notified of the jail break and men were put out on the trail of the escaped prisoner. Fornier was arrested by Sheriff Schraeder and a deputy at the Coquoz ranch in Tennessee park last Thursday night. He is subject to violent fits of insanity and was held in the county jail for two weeks during the middle of June. When he recovered from this spell, he was released and went to work at the Coquoz ranch. Last Thursday the sheriff was notified that Fornier was suffering from another attack and the people at the ranch asked that he be taken into custody. The officers did not succeed in capturing him without a struggle.

Carbonate Chronicle 7-29-1912 Fornier Recaptured Frank Fornier, the insane man who made a sensational escape from the county jail Saturday night by jumping head foremost through one of the kitchen windows, was recaptured by Sheriff Harry Schraeder yesterday morning at the Coquoz ranch in Tennessee park. When the officers arrived at the ranch, where Fornier had formerly been employed, they found the fugitive asleep in his bed. He was brought back to the city and placed in jail. When Fornier jumped through the window, the glass cut his head and one of his hands. His injuries were examined yesterday, but did not prove to be serious. In spite of the fact that several reports were received by the officers Saturday night and early yesterday morning, stating that the insane man had been seen in different parts of the city, it is thought that immediately after scaling the jail fence Fornier made his way directly to Tennessee park.
Fornier, Frank
Carbonate Chronicle 7-29-1912 Fornier Found Insane A jury of six yesterday morning rendered a verdict finding Frank Fornier, who for some time has been confined in the county jail owing to his deranged mental condition, so insane or distracted in his mind as to endanger his own person and property or the person and property of others. He was sentenced by County Judge Harrison to a period of indefinite confinement in the asylum for the insane at Pueblo and will remain there until he is, in the discretion of the superintendent of the institution, a safe man to be at large again. Jailer Steve Philbrick was the principal witness at Fornier's trial. He reviewed the circumstances of his struggle with the demented man last Saturday night, when Fornier rushed at him and jumped headlong through a window in the jail kitchen after a desperate fight for escape. County Clerk John W. McMahon, who ran into the jail on hearing the noise of the struggle, testified that when he arrived he found Mr. Philbrick covered with blood from wounds which Fornier had received in the battle with the jailer. The testimony of Jailer Philbrick was corroborated by Sheriff Harry Schraeder, who stated that at all times the man has shown that he is incapable of rational conduct. Joe Coquoz, a relative of Fornier, who took the man to his ranch for a few days in hopes that he would improve with the change from jail life to the life of a quiet country home, upheld the testimony of the other witnesses that Fornier was as irrational in his actions on the ranch as he was when confined in the jail. County Attorney Bouck examined the witnesses. All the evidence tended to show that Fornier needs the care of experts in an institution. The jury in the Fornier case was composed as follows: W. H. Cole (foreman), John C. Burkhardt, Frank Feehan, Ben Gray, George H. McDonald and Andrew Clooney.

Rocky Mountain News 6-25-1895 Insane Through Misfortune La Junta, Colo., June 24 Miss Catherine Forrest, aged between fifty and sixty years, was to-day adjudged insane and will be taken to the asylum to-morrow. Miss Forrest with her brother, about the same age came here eight or nine years ago possessed of considerable money, but the brother was dissipated and through bad speculations and investments most of their property has been lost, which is probably the cause of her present misfortune. She has been laboring under the impression that a prominent married merchant here has ruined her and has threatened to shoot him on sight unless he fulfills his promise and marries her. This with other equally good reasons is the cause of committing Miss Forrest to the asylum. Administrators will be appointed for the estate comprising a good ranch and city property valued at about $10,000.

Greeley Tribune 5-19-1898 - Foy and the Lunatic - Eddie Foy, the comedian, spent a summer vacation at his old home in central New York. One day as he was strolling past the large insane asylum that stands on the outskirts of the town he was startled by a low "Hist!" and on looking up saw one of the worst heads that ever came under his gaze peering over the wall. Eddie was not frightened, for he did not think the maniac could scale the wall, but he quickened his pace. He had proceeded but a short distance when he heard a scrambling, and on looking saw that the madman had climbed over the wall and was following him. Eddie walked fast, but the maniac, who was an immense fellow, with a face that wore a demonic look, walked faster. Foy trotted a little, and the madman trotted after him. Eddie finally broke into a run and was horrified to see that his pursuer was not only running also, but was gaining steadily. Eddie is not much of a sprinter, but on this occasion he made remarkable time, but soon Foy could hear the labored breathing of his pursuer and felt that he could make no further effort. Just as he was about to faint from exhaustion the maniac reached forward, touched him gently on the shoulder and said: "Tag! You're it." - San Francisco Argonaut.

The man gave his name as Benjamin Franklin and stated that he was a member of Company Troupe O, 11th Cavalry, now in the strike district near Trinidad. The man was first seen coming toward Littleton from the vicinity of Overland park on Sunday afternoon, and from reports of those who saw him stated that his actions were very queer.

Castle Rock Journal 1-8-1904 - Camped Upon a Mountain - Insane Man Without Shelter or Bedding Would have Perished from Exposure, Taken to the Asylum - Joseph Franco, a stranger in the county was tried in the County court for lunacy, Monday and was sent to the asylum, being taken to Pueblo that night by Sheriff Alford. Franco was arrested Sunday night on Dawson mountain, near Perry Park, by Under Sheriff Scott, Deputy Sheriff Phillips, Bert Compton and L.T. Bardell. He had been camped for a week on the south side of the mountain, under a ledge of lava rock and the ranchmen in the neighborhood had seen his camp fire at night. He had no bedding of any kind, sleeping upon the bare ground and his only provisions consisted of a small amount of flour and coffee. Water he obtained by melting snow from a snow bank near the summit of the mountain having to carry it a considerable distance to his camp ___ (illegible). As near as could be learned Franco is a Slav having been born in Austria. He spoke English so brokenly that it was almost impossible to make out much of his history. He claimed to have spent much time in Mexico and to speak that language well, but when William Adams was called to act as an interpreter, he met with no better success than did those who questioned him in English. He also claimed to talk German, but Messrs. Hilburger, Schneider and Kaempfer had only the same success. He told Dr. Alexander that he had been once in an asylum in Mexico. Recently he had been working, it was gathered from his description of the place for Frank Van Wormer, near Acequia (sp?).

Frey, Fred
Leadville Evening Chronicle 2-2-1891 Found Insane Fred Frey was yesterday afternoon tried in the county court for being insane. The following jury was empanelled: John Connelly, John Alfred, J. P. Turner, S. S. Chapin, J. G. Clemer and J. B. Mitchell. Several witnesses testified, and the jury returned a verdict of insanity. Mr. Frey came to Leadville in 1878, during the excitement of the first carbonate discoveries. He opened the Tontine restaurant, on Chestnut street, which he continued until 1882, when he failed. Soon after he was appointed manager of the Saddle Rock restaurant, owned by Smith & Elliott, in which capacity he acted for a number of years. About five years ago he opened a saloon, known as the Tontine, but it proved an unsuccessful venture, and since that time he has not been in any business. Mr. Frey is a prominent Mason, and was well versed in the workings of that order. It is believed, by his friends, that the cause of his insanity was brought about through worrying over business troubles, and the severe illness of one of his children. He has spent almost day and night by the bedside of his child, and it is thought that the strain was too much for his brain, and it gave way. He was taken to the state insane asylum at Pueblo, last evening, by Deputy Sheriff John Kurtin.

It is to be hoped the care and treatment he will receive there, will restore him rapidly to his normal condition.
Fry, S.S.
Breckenridge Bulletin 8-31-1907 Popular Man Losing Mind Poor Speed, is the general comment now concerning S. S. Fry, who is giving his friends much uneasiness as to his mental condition. It is scarcely to be doubted that this heretofore bright, witty young man is losing his mind. It is said by those who know him that he makes awful noises in his sleep, trying to imitate the bray of zebras, the hiss of rattle snakes, the roar of lions, the growl of tigers, etc. He ordered a whip from Denver with a ten-foot lash, and the other day tried to have W. P. Condon make him a sheet iron tank for a rhinoceros. On the street he saunters about mumbling incoherent sentences, and in the last batch of electric light bills he sent out some of them read, To one cage of monkeys, so much, or, to ten circus horses, such and such a price. Bob Gore says he spends much of the time up at the office trying to teach a certain jack to stand on its ears. His whole mind seems to be on a circus and wild animals. Many men have gone insane over less exciting subjects. We sincerely hope Speed will recover before his case becomes hopeless.

He was very nervous while in the court room and appeared to be frightened. He was found to be a lunatic. William W. Kingdon was a young man whose brain had been turned by physical causes. He was convicted by the jury of insanity. His form of lunacy was principally exhibited in the hallucination that he is a baron and the heir to large landed estates, which people are keeping him out of.

As a result of being temporarily deranged J. Hays Fulton, a Denver man, aged 31 years, was shot three times here this morning. The shooting occurred in a saloon owned by Flora Cardillo, and the proprietor was the man who did the shooting. Fulton, who it is believed by officials here to be temporarily deranged mentally on account of illness from which he has been suffering, walked into the Cardillo saloon this morning brandishing a razor. The proprietor of the saloon immediately drew a revolver and shot Fulton three times in order to protect himself. The police do not believe that his wounds are very serious and are of the opinion that he will recover. Fulton said, I couldn't stand the suffering any longer, so I went into the saloon to get killed.

Furneaux, Robert H.
Wray Gazette - January 5, 1906 - Called by Death - Robert H. Furneaux, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Furneaux of this city, died at the hospital for the insane at Pueblo on Friday, December 20, after a lingering illness of over two years duration, age 22 years, 2 months and 10 days. Robert was up to two years ago, an unusually bright young man. At that time he suffered a break down of the nervous system which affected his mind. In order that he might be where he could have the treatment of specialists he was taken to the hospital in the hope that he might recover. But he gradually failed from that time on, and two weeks ago his parents received word that he could not live long. His father immediately went to his bedside where he remained in constant vigil for five days when the end came. The remains were brought to this city, the funeral services were held at the Methodist church conducted by Rev. Voight, assisted by Rev's. Deflone, Carson and Marsh.

Steamboat Pilot 2-11-1914 Thinks Hayden Will Be Famous Mining Camp Judge Morning last week conducted an inquisition into the sanity of Noah C. Fussman, a workingman who was employed for a time on the Hayden water works and later worked for the Sarvis Timber company. He has been known for some time to be insane but recently his affliction has taken a turn that led to the fear that he would do harm to himself or others. The least harmless part of his malady is his craze for prospecting. While working in the Hayden water works trenches he secured a great number of pebbles which to him are as precious as gold. He watched his ore with the greatest care and predicts that Hayden will make one of the greatest mining camps in the state, for to his mind it is built upon veritable sands of gold. Deputy District Attorney Ray Monson prosecuted the case, while D. P. Wilson appeared for the accused as guardian ad litem. The jury required only a few minutes to find Fussman insane and he will be taken to Pueblo by Sheriff Chivington.
