"BATH TUB TRAGEDY DUE TO ACCIDENT
"No Blame Attached to Napa Management for Death of Patient
"Investigation of the death of Julius Schulken, a San Francisco hay and grain man, in the Napa state hospital Monday afternoon, following an accidental scalding in the bathroom Sunday, failed to develop evidence to support charges of negligence and misconduct preferred against the surgeons and attendants by Val de Graeve, a dismissed employe [sic] of the hospital. The inquest in Napa Tuesday developed the fact that the affair was entirely accidental and that the shock of scalding caused death.
"Attorney Fred J. Crisp, retained by Walter H. Schulken, son of the victim, to sue for damages if evidence of neglect could be developed, said nothing had been discovered to warrant such a suit other than the statement of De Graeve, which is uncorroborated.
"The principal charge of De Graeve is that the surgeons were criminally negligent in failing to renew the picric acid bandage for 48 hours and he intimates this hastened death. It is a matter of common knowledge that renewal of these bandages within such time is not necessary except in burns that have become infected.
"Walter, Russel [sic] and Albert Schulken, sons of the victim, say they will make a thorough investigation.
"Coroner Brownlee of Napa said the inquest had proved the death was accidental and that good medical care was given the patient. Schulken was suffering from mental derangement and nervous breakdown due to business worries. He was subject to collapse and the shock of getting in the extremely hot water was the cause of death."
