To The Honorable, The Board of Commissioners of Wake County, Ceiiilemen: It is my duty to report to you .he case of Columbus Kowe. a convict, who recently, died at Camp No. ,!: I was called late Satur day alternoon, July 2:rd, by the su pervisor and went, to the ramp on Sunday morning and found the pa tient 'suffering with retention of tha urine, which had lasted for about four days, and H was necessary to re lieve him with the catheter, which was done. 1 saw the pat tent again on the Cr.th, the 27th and the 28th, and each time relieved him in the same manner, fie died on the afternoon of i ho astii. .';.'. '''. . Mv object in calling attention of your hoard to this in after, is to show the great, necessity of the county's providing some place oT proper treat ment for tlie care of the sick con victs. I am fully satisfied that the supervisor of i he camp did not real ize the condition of the patient un til his condition had become danger ous. And furthermore, after this was the case, the duties, of the super visor and the laeilities of the camp lor -treatment ol the sick are such that it is impossible to give proper care, intention or tood as such cases require. If a place ol treatment, with some one in charge, who had the ca pacity to look alter the sick, had been provided by the county, it is my opinion 1 hat this patient's life would have been saved, and the lack of It the cause of. his death. In my report, f his month I have recommended that some course bo taken to provide for such cases, and ibis letter sets lorth mv reasons for having made the recommendation. Humane . treatment of the prisoners is practically impossible without suc h a place lor treatment of the sick. erv truly, J. J. L. McCullers, Supt. Health lor Wake County.
