(Continued from Page One) iniofi. will be that she is unfit mentally to stand trial, She would in this case most likely be confined to a mental institution, Albert Fitzpatrick passed on in the Wingham General Hospital on Wed­ nesday afternoon, March 29, He was admitted to hospital on' March Sth, suffering from wounds and bruises about the hands, face and head, ap­ parently received when he was beaten by his 73-yeay-old sister, Catherine (Kate), the day previous, He lay on the floor of the kitchen at his home from early that evening until found the next day by Royal McArthur who called, to get a. grocery order. Father Paquette and his nephew, Edward Fitzpatrick, were notified and on ar­ rival at the house found Mr, Fitzpat­ rick lying face down on the floor, Dr W. A. Crawford was summoned and had the injured man removed to the hospital. Mr, Fitzpatrick, who was in his 84th year, was born at Paris, Ont. He came with his parents, as a boy, to the 12th Concession of East Wawa­ nosh, where he resided for 54 years, For the past 22 years he has lived in Lower Wingham. He was a member of Sacred Heart Church. Surviving James, West Lake, Oregon, and one sister, Catherine, ’ The funeral service was held at Sac­ red Heart Church on Friday after­ noon. Requiem High Mass was sung by Rev. Father Paquette. The pall­ bearers were: George T, Robertson, George M. Robertson, Wesley Wal­ ters, Joseph Gamble, Wm. Morris, B. Benninger. Burial took place in Wingham Roman Catholic Cemetery. The Inquest Constable T. W. Platt said that on March 15th he had been told by Wm. Fitzpatrick that his uncle had been in­ jured in Lower Town. He notified Constable McCoy. He said Mr, Fitz­ patrick had been asked in hospital how he received his injuries and he had said there had been only two peo­ ple the're, himself and his sister. He did not’ consider her sound mentally. Dr. W. A. Crawford, who with Dr. T. Torrance, performed the post-mor­ tem examination, stated he was called to the Fitzpatrick home in Lower Wingham about 2.30 on the afternoon of March Sth. He found Albert Fitz­ patrick ip a confused condition. He had received injuries to wrists, hands, face. The injuries were likely caused by being beaten with a club or blunt instrument. Later the Doctor said, “You got an awful beating up.” And he said “She sure beat me up.” The post-mortem examination re­ vealed hardening of the arteries that would cause death in a short time, small patch of pneumonia, small area of softening of the brain, heart arter­ ies hard, infection of the bladder. He was of the opinion that the injuries hastened or accelerated his death as did his lying exposed on the floor, prior to being taken to the hospital. Royal McArthur, who went to the Fitzpatrick home on March 8th to get a grocery order, said the sister opened the door for him and said "A man is lying on the floqr. I found him there when I got up.” Mr. Mc­ Arthur said Mr. Fitzpatrick was lying face down on the kitchen floor. He said Mr. Fitzpatrick and his sister maintained separate apartments, but used the same kitchen. He observed wounds on his face and dried blood on the floor. He went to Luk'e King’s who called Father Paquette. He did not talk to the sister as she was men- Father Paquette told of being call­ ed to go to Lower Wingham March 8th. Fie went there with Ed. Fitz­ patrick. Kate met them at the door. Albert was lying on the floor, he thought he was dead. Apparently lie had been there for some time as blood was caked, He was placed on a chair and washed by Ed. Fitzpatrick. Kate made tea and Albert was given some. They then got Dr. Crawford and t^ok him to the Hospital. Father Paquette said that Albert said "She pounded me. She pounded me.” He did not think Kate was responsible. Wm. Fitzpatrick, a nephew of Al­ bert Fitzpatrick, told of Kate striking Albert on the wrist about two months previous, with a broom handle. He said that Albert had that said that it was “hell down here to get along with her.” This was towards the end of January. He noticed last year that Kate got worse, she did not recognize him for some time. Albert had told him that she was not responsible. Provincial Constable P. E. McCoy of Goderich, who investigated the case said he had received a statement front Albert Fitzpatrick silimar to what Fr. Paquette had stated. He did not con­ sider Kate fit to give a statement.
