Chained Amish Father Seen As Insane Case Sparks Court Action
In Goshen Indiana Lucy Hochstettler, 41, was judged insane by a physician’s report filed in Elkhart circuit court. Her 75-year-old father Samuel Hochstettler, an Amish elder, confessed binding her to bed for years. The case follows her brother Elam’s claim that religious differences led to the confinement. Hospital commitment was ordered pending further court action. Separately in Dallas Texas General Omar N Bradley warned the US must be ready for war if a nation blunders, citing Russia’s aggressive stance and commenting on army discipline and “dirty linen” in the service.
