John McCarty, of West Madison, who has twice been confined because of insanity, became violent yesterday and Chief Schuler and Policeman Hollis were summoned. The excited man attempted to resist the officers and made a break for his house to get an axe. After a sharp but brief tussle the officers took him to the county jail for safe keeping. The trouble created much excitement in the neighborhood and quite a crowd collected. McCarty was discharged some years ago from the Central asylum at Indianapolis and it is probable steps will now be taken to have him re-committed to Cragmont.
From Death Certificate:
Place of death: Madison State Hospital for the Insane
Length of stay at hospital: 30 years
Single
Cause of death: Suicide by hanging by the neck with a sheet tied to a window guard screen.

JOHN McCARTY DEAD
Former Resident of Madison Takes Own Life at State Hospital
John McCarty, aged about 60 years, hanged himself at Madison sate hospital yesterday. A former resident of this city, he had been a patient at a mental institution most of his life. Before entering Cragmont when it was established 40 years ago, he had been a patient at a mental hospital in Indianapolis.
He was the son of the late Adolph McCarty, who was killed in an accident while employed at the Madison shipyards about 50 years ago. He was never married, and is survived by four half brothers, Elmer, Charles, David and William Bennett, all of Louisville, as his nearest relatives.
Services will be held at the Lytle funeral home tomorrow at 2:30 p.m., and burial will be in Springdale cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home.
Mr. McCarty was the son of Mrs. Elizabeth Bennett, who died in 1937. He was a nephew of Charles Sauley and Mrs. Anna Cole, of this city and Elmer Sauley, Louisville.
