He
knew
he
’
d
made
a
lot
of
progress
since
Ward
5
.
On
Saturday
,
August
4
,
he
was
heading
out
the
door
of
AIT
when
he
heard
the
elevator
alarm
.
The
elevator
was
stuck
between
the
third
and
fourth
floors
.
A
mentally
retarded
young
girl
was
trapped
inside
.
Billy
could
see
the
sparking
and
hear
the
crackling
and
sputtering
and
humming
of
the
outer
electrical
box
,
and
he
realized
there
must
have
been
a
short
circuit
.
As
several
of
the
patients
gathered
in
the
hallway
,
the
girl
began
screaming
inside
the
elevator
and
banging
on
the
panels
.
Billy
shouted
for
help
,
and
with
the
assistance
of
one
of
the
workmen
,
he
pried
the
outer
door
open
.
Katherine
Gillott
and
Pat
Perry
came
out
to
see
what
the
commotion
was
about
.
They
watched
as
Billy
went
down
into
the
elevator
shaft
,
squeezing
through
the
overhead
trap
door
.
Billy
dropped
down
beside
the
girl
and
began
talking
to
keep
her
calm
.
They
waited
while
an
elevator
serviceman
was
called
.
Billy
worked
on
the
electrical
box
from
the
inside
.
"
Do
you
know
any
poems
?
"
he
asked
her
.
"
I
know
the
Bible
.
"
"
Recite
some
psalms
for
me
,
"
he
said
.
They
talked
about
the
Bible
fur
nearly
half
an
hour
.
When
the
elevator
maintenance
man
finally
got
it
moving
,
and
they
came
out
on
the
third
floor
,
the
girl
looked
up
at
Billy
and
said
,
"
Can
I
have
a
can
of
pop
now
?
"
The
following
Saturday
,
Billy
rose
early
.
Though
he
felt
good
about
his
art
exhibit
,
he
was
upset
about
the
Dispatch
article
that
described
the
exhibit
,
rehashing
—
as
they
always
did
—
the
ten
personalities
and
calling
him
a
"
multi
-
personality
rapist
.
"
He
had
to
get
used
to
handling
mixed
emotions
.
It
was
a
new
kind
of
feeling
—
confusing
but
necessary
to
his
mental
stability
.
This
morning
he
decided
to
jog
to
the
Ohio
University
Inn
,
adjacent
to
the
hospital
grounds
,
and
get
a
pack
of
cigarettes
.
He
knew
he
shouldn
’
t
be
smoking
.
In
the
old
days
only
Allen
had
smoked
cigarettes
.
But
he
needed
it
.
There
would
be
time
enough
to
give
up
the
habit
when
he
was
cured
.
