YANKEE BARBARTTY.

The investigation Of the management of
the Tewskbury almshouse, in Massachusetts,
which has been pending for the past ten
days, has developed system of barbarity
and cruelty which would make the fends in
hell strickland all this in State whose
people have for more than half century
been Boosting Of their temperance, chastity,
intelligence and philanthropy, whilst at the
same time never failing to hurl bloody anath
emas upon the Southern people for the
slightest breach of the peace.
Never since the foundation of this gov
eminent has an examination opened up and
exposed such continued series Of cruelties
as has been perpetrated upon the unfortu-
nate inmates of this institution-made the
more horrible because in most of the cases
the cruelty was practiced upon those who
were deprived of reason, or who, through
terrible adversely, were unable TO receive
outside assistance.
The management of those in command of
the institution seems TO be devoid Of all feel
ing Of humanity and the appeals for mercy
only tended to drive them TO more terrible
acts of inhuman torture. The following ex-
tracts from the testimony show some of the
customary and daily acts of those in charge
Margaret Perry, of Boston, testified that
the nurses at Tewksbury were rough in
thier treatment Of the patients, striking them
and holding pillows over the mouths Of in
sane patients to prevent their asking for
necessaries. The witness detailed the out
RACES inflicted upon various inmates from
time to time.
Mrs. Abbie f. Whcelersa nurse named
Dunning jumped upon the stomach of a
patient with her knees six times because she
would net take medicine. Thomas Marsh,
.Jr., was very familiar with the nurses.
Mrs Bridget Dolan had daughter and a
grand-child at Tewksbury last February
and made several attempts to get them out,
as her daughter begged TO be taken away.
She did not succeed, however, and her
daughter died at Tewksbury. The child
had been treated 80 badly that it lost its
speech and could not walk. While her
daughter was dying of consumption, she
was fed upon a piece of black sour fish
two water-soaked potatoes and bowl OF
skinned milk. This was but four weeks
ago. Word was not sent to her until after
her daughters death.
Two tanners testified that certain human
skins were brought 10 them to be tanned by
student, but they could not say they were
from Tewksbury.
