Crazed by Noise Plate in Skull of Rough Rider Acted as Sounding Board Parkersburg, W. Va., May 8 Deputy United States Marshal Barrett has returned from the government hospital in the District of Columbia, where he took Thomas Stober, a federal prisoner, who became violently insane at the Moundsville penitentiary. Stober was one of Roosevelt's Rough Riders and when in the service the top of his head was shot off. A silver plate was used to cover the opening and it is said that in the noise and whirr of machinery in the penitentiary, the plate became like a sounding fork, rendering him insane several times. It is feared that his dementia is now incurable.
