rne Rely, nurses who were employed at the Hospital
for lncuraolcs against several Of the officials con-
nected with that institution Tho case was recently
examined by the Commissioners of Charities, who
recommended the removal Of tho steward and tic two
nurses. Yesterday tho Committee of Supplies OF the
Board OF Supervisors Kings county began an nvesti-
CATION at Fiatbusn, Supervisor Strong presiding
Tho anidavt oil Catharne Rely, VINO was discharged
from her position August set forth that she had
been removed by Dr. Guy Daley Superintendent OF the
Hospital and that tho OF hor dismissal was her
testimony against the Doctor Ia the case OF Annie
Hagen. The nurse Annie hagen, in her affidavit, set
forth that she discharged August !, by DR..
Daley she beoves because she refused to submit
to the improper liberties which tho Doctor attempted
to takc with her she the Doctor with having
night July 30 made attempts 10 enter her
BEDROOM and also cudcavoring 30 assault her In his
room. She also accuses him OF intoxication
Dr. Daley said u was NOS true that no naa d's-
charged Catharino Rely; she resigned: ns TO Annie
hagen sue was discharged Tor disobedcnce; he re-
served his defence until his examination.
Mrs. Jane Purdy. matron OF the hospital testincd
that know nothing oil the circumstance oil her own
knowledge; since leaving tho hospital the women, who
about twenty eight years old have been living AZ
the AImshouse; Mrs Hagen arrived IN Brooklyn from

direction OF Coney Island, instead OF toward tho in.
stitutop. About three weeks ago Catharne Rely and
herself awoke and found Drs. Daley and Hibben in
their room. Tho women screamed and :heir visitors
led. Despite the advice from nurses and
others TO make fuss about i' Nurse

missioners had consultations with the doctors, the
steward and the witnesses. Mrs. Hagen informed the
Commissioners that she meant TO have satslnction
and knew how ~ get It. Ono Commissioner, she says,
told her that If She didn't keep quiet 1t would be
worse for herself and told her not 10 say word 10

Tho physicians, the steward and the Charity Commis
