                                COMMITTED SUICIDE
         Dr. A. Stanley Dolan, Former Assistant Physician at Ionia Asylum

Dr. A. Stanley Dolan was recently found dead at Riverside, Cal., under 
circumstances that leave little doubt as to its being suicide.

Dr. Dolan was possibly a victim of insanity, to which those who have the care 
of insane, are said to be specially liable, partially the result of official 
and public criticism of his official conduct.

Dr. Dolan had been asst. med. supt. of the Southern California Hospital for the 
Insane, and had been forced to resign, after altercation with his official 
associates, and after an indiscretion in an examination relating to treatment 
by him of patients in hospital.

His wife was dead and later he seems to have become involved in attentions to 
two women, both of whom looked upon him as an accepted suitor, and between whom 
he was unable to make a choice. In this situation the anonymous letter writer 
got busy and helped to make life a burden to the doctor. "Weary of it all, Dr. 
Dolan possibly died by his own hand - possibly of a broken heart and shattered 
spirit."
