That the said William Owings has recently become dangerous to himself, and to the community, and your petitioner is no longer able to restrain him and care for him in her home, due to the fact that he is at times violent. Wherefore your petitioner prays the Court to make an order for the confinment of the said William Owings in a State Hospital. (Signature of Merle T Curtis) Subscribed and sworn to before me this 4th day of April, 1949.
