A NICE SORT OF NURSE Annie Yaternan, a. nurse employed at Airs Anderson's private hospital, " Kingston,' Bambra road.. Caulfield (Victoria), was charged at Caulfield on -March 12 with having -caused grievous bodilv harm to Agnes Angel, a patient- of the 'hospital. Alfred Angel, estate agent, deposed that he took hi* wife to the hospital on February 19. When he taw her on the following Tuesday she was strapped by the ankles and wrists, and when he took her home she was practically blue all over her body. Caroline Jacobson, trained nurse, said that the patient was restless and noisy, but j never violent. One morning defendant asked witness to assist in giving the paJ tient her bath. When the bath was finished defendant took Mrs Angel by the hair and hit her several times on the head. She also tried to kick the patient, and twisted her arms up behind her back. The patient was noisy, and defendantthreatened to " ram a" slipper down her throat." Defendant also dragged Mrs Angel up on the pillow by the hair of her head. Witness went away to get medicine, and when she came "back defendant was sitting on the patient. Witness reported the ill-treatment to Dr Maxwell, and later to Mrs Anderson. She considered it a brutal attack on a mentallyafflicted woman. Dr Leslie Maxwell attended Mrs Angel, and recommended her removal to "Kiniston." After she had been in the hospital he saw numerous bruises on her body. From reports which he* received from Mrs Anderson he considered mechanical restraints were at certain times justified. Dr W. E. Jones, Inspector-General for the Insane, deposed that he saw Mrs Angel on March 1. She had a very large number of bruises of varying sizes all over her body, and it was extremely improbable that all had been self-inflicted* Defendant, who pleaded not guilty, was committed for trial.
