In this article the author shares his experience when he was in the Psychopathic Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts for twenty-four hours. On Sunday, August 14, 1927 the author attempted to address a mass meeting in Boston Common on the Sacco-Vanzetti case. At the trial the author was found guilty of speaking without a permit and sentenced to pay a $20 fine. Sitting beside the chairman on the platform, the author was asked questions for some time about his economic and political views. The hospital officials all assured him that never had a patient gotten out so quickly, the rule being that no one could be released in less than ten days.
