Thaw at Matteawan A Case That Tests Asylum Life
A Chicago dispatch reports Harry Thaw’s confinement at Matteawan Asylum for the Criminally Insane may resemble prison life as the wealthy patient faces monotony, strict discipline, and limited privileges while awaiting trial after the Stanford White case. A second item notes Flora McDonald, suspected killer of Webster Guerin, possibly insane in California in 1899 under the name Mrs Shearer, with links drawn by attorney Trude between McDonald and Mrs McDonald.
