Court of Claims of Illinois April 16, 1925, No. 766 (Clark v. State)

Mr. Chief Justice Clarity

delivered the opinion of the court:

The claimant was employed by the State of Illinois as a guard of the Chester State Hospital, and while in the performance of his duties as such guard it appears that he was beaten and badly ill-treated by being assaulted and bitten by a great number of the inmates of said institution in their endeavor to escape.
