KENNER, LA.
Refused Treatment at the Charity Hospital.
Kenner, La., Aug. 14. - Joseph Ruppert yesterday morning died of lockjaw under very sad, and if rumor be correct, inhuman circumstances. On Sunday, the 1st instant, Ruppert accidentally stuck a nail in his foot. Next day he applied for treatment at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, but, being told his wound was all right and needed no treatment, he returned home. The next day, feeling symptoms of lockjaw with limbs stiffening so that he could with difficulty walk, his wife accompanied him to the Charity Hospital and begged for treatment. The case was abruptly declined and admittance refused. Mrs. Ruppert, with tears, directed attention to her husband's condition, but to no avail. He was buried today, mourned by his friends, who condemn the inhumanity of the hospital authorities.
