Mrs Henry Kewley of Port Haro Inmate at Kalamazoo Insane Asylum
A lengthy statement by Mrs Henry Kewley formerly of Port Haro claims she was sane during her confinement at Kalamazoo Insane Asylum and describes witnessed scenes. The Statesman notes a possible legislative push for an investigation, though it urges caution on cruelty charges, citing a prior Dr Van Dusen verdict and a new trial. The document recounts Mrs Rittell’s case of brutal hair cutting, restraint, and injuries, and frames the broader question of asylum management and reform.
