Doctor,I ask you to state whether you knew Mazie Weiher?
Yes,sir.
Where did you see Mazie Weih~.r the last time?
I saw her the last time at the Was hington Hospital Extended Care
Facility.
Q Can you tell us how long Mrs.Weiher was confined at this facility?
A Yes,sir.She had two adm issions to the faciHity.One when it was th
Washington Manor from July 3,1968 to January 29,1969;and the
second admission fromNovember 28,1969 to March llil,1971.

Q During the time that Mrs.Weiher was 'confined in this facility was
she under your care?

How often woul~you administer to .her?
I wc;>uld see her approxiD~atelyonce every week or if necessary.in

Doctor,I ask you to give us first oJ all,just immediate ly prior
to her leaving the facility,did you make any examination of her?
Yes,sir.
Were you able to determine from your examinatio n her mental condition?
Yes,sir.
What would you say that her mental condition was?
Well,she was suffering from a:senile condition which we term
a chronic brain syndrome due to senile brain disease.
And wiasL it tthe typ.e of condition that would remain stabl~or progreEs?

It's'usually~progressive thing..'

was she able to conduct any of her affairs?
No.sir.
Was she able to identify persons who may come to visit her?
ThaLwDuld be very difficult to ascertain because Mrs.Weiher,in
all the time that I had known her,was practically non-communicativ~.
Q She was non-communicative?
I
A Yes.

Q During most of the time that·she was under Jour care?

Q Did you know Mrs.~Weiher prior,to the time that she first came to tpe
Washington Manor?
A No,sir.
Q I think that that is the extent of my examination,if the Court please.
EXAMINATION BY TEE CO~T:
Q Dr.Graham,what would be the general cause of her chronic
brain syndrome?
It,wouJP.be.due to arteriosclerosis of the cerebral"vessels,
causing a degeneration 'of .the.brain cells..~....
Had that arteriosclerosis beEm evidenCed for some time past?
I believE?:it had been even before she was admitted to the
,.
institut ion •.
Had she been employed at any.time?
"
Not that.I know qf.
What was her age?'
73;the 'age this year ,.73.
And in a person of that a.ge,with the condition of arter-
iosclerosis,what would be the general prognosis?
Th~general prognosis would.be poor.She is going through
..a stage'of arteriosclerotic brain'changes at a rather
early age when you look back at the beginning of this,which
,.
is always going to cause a worse prognosis than you would
..
in an older-type individual."It becomes more rapidly
progressive.
So·that if she were unable to look after her business
affairs when you were examining and tre ating her,she cer-
tainly would be unable to do so presently..
Yes,sir"
And in ihe .future.
Yes.
Docmor,would it be possible,if she were permitted to lock

Mr.Santee,I show you-this paper and ask you to identify,
it;'tell'us what it is.
It's the 'Power of Attorneydrawn up by James "lNeihersfr,om
Mazie Weiher to Clifford B.Santee..
And what is the date 'of the Power ofAttorney?
26,January,1969.
"And have.you,in accordance with the terms of this Power
of Attorney,conducted all the financial matters for Mrs.
Weiher?
I have.
When you first began to assist Mr~and Mrs •.Weih~r,W1tn
thetr]problems,what was the health condition of"Mrs.Weihl3r?
"Around the same time of that part.of the year she had been
to the hospital for a checkup.Her physican then was Dr.
Berman,and he thought that she should have a checkup and
when she was in the hospital"he felt he wanted Dr.Benton
to look ip on her.And Dr.Benton detected .this degenerative
type condition of Mazie,and s aid perhaps in a year she wo~ld
have to have somebody taking care of her husband.It woul~
be im~ossi~le f0.r her within a year to take care of him.
We decided at that time,through Dr.Bentpn's
recommendation,that.if she.be relieved of all this,the
10
household chores-and the lawn work and different things th~t
she'd 'tried to,do and,'taking care of Lewis,that she would
have a eetter'chanc~at staying at home a-longer period of
."time.
Q
A
All right.What was done~?
That's when they decided on the appropriate documents,the
1 ~ower of Attorney,and things tha t would permit.me to take
0(.>~over their household and take care of their things as ifUlz .
z~it was my own household.
'z"o~Q Have'you done that continuously since that time?

Q
Mr.Santee,were you able to detect any change in the ment~l
condition of Mrs.Weiher during the past'year or 'So?
we
After having talked to.Dr.Benton/were on guard for this
condition because with this type of condition the doctor -~
it's impos sible "to give a definite time as to how quickly
this condition progresses~So naturally,my wif,e and I
are on guard for it,and we could detect different things
that would be adverse to'Mazie's way,of life,decisions·
that she would make and the conversationsand things'.But
it was very gradual.But we.could detect this.
Now did Mrs.Weiher require hospitalization at any time?
A She did.But it'wasn't ,immediate;'after we started to help
her.~just forget the exact date.She acquired a kidney
condition and had to be'hospitalized to have this taken
care of.
Q How long was she in the hospital at that time?

A Prob.ablY,a week to two weeks;not more than that.

Weiher admitted to the Washington Manor?
