TEWKSBURY ALMSHOUSE
More Important Testimony for
the Defense.
Reported Abuse of Patients Denied.

BOSTON, May 22.--''French Joe' resumed
his testimony in the Tewksbury hearing to-
day. He had never sold tobacco from the
store room or given money to the Marshes, nor
had any of the latter taken anything from the
store room while under his charge.
DIR. George Il, Putney testified that he was
assistant at Tewksbury under DIR. Lathrop fer
over two years. The beds were as clean as at
any other place Of its kind that he had ever
been in. The food compared unfaycrably with
other places, being wholesome but not suffic-
iently cietarY. Delicaeies were wanting. He
never saw the Marshes wearing the clothes
of inmates. It was impraeticable for a medi.
cal man TO have the entire charge of the hoSpi-
tai. He should have an assistant in the man.
agement. The witness gave an outline of the
necessary help needed. He had never heard
of nurses abusing insane patients. None of
the latter had dirty clothing which tasy were
allowed TO retain. There was constant super
vision over such, and system OF cleanliness
was maintained. He never heard of the foul
bathing arrangements described by witnesses.
The foundling hospital was overcrowded. They
were short of help and some of the nurses
were incompetent, but the place was kept as
clean as it could be made. While the number
of infants was small they prospered, but as the
institution became overcroWded they died.
He never knew of their being fed on skinned
milk.
To the Governor DIR. Putney said that while
he was in the Harvard Medical School he had
never seen the body OF baby only In the
hands of the Professor of Obstetrics. The post
mortem examinations OF babies bodies az
Tewksbury had convinced him that they did
not die Of starvation. While he was there
there was no instrument At the institution with
which to properly perform craniotomy. II
none others are available a rattail file and a
screw driver are the proper instruments TO use,
il the physician is skilliul enough 10 uss them
without injuring the patient.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Mr. Ingersoll re-
sumed his address TO the Jury In the star

caustic criticism of Rerdel's testimony; and

commented upon,
Mr.. Ingersell continued his animadyers ions
upon ReTdell aud his testimony at consideFa-
BILE length. Continuing he said Rerdeli adj
mitted that he had offered to sit with defend
ants and by challenge exclude their friends
from the Jury. Did any man wearing human
form ever propose any more infamous bargaia2
He said that the proposition ought to be writ
ten on the tanned hide OF q Tewksbury pau
per black man; also said that the proposition
had been rejected but Rerdeil tried TO carry it
out and would have succeeded in putting an
enemy to the defense in the jury box il the
court had not refused to allow his right to
challenge. That showed the character Of the
man: Il took his hide off; il took his flesh of.
and barred his heart and showed the working

Department Of Justice as worthy Of belief.

Mr. Iugersoll replied that although his
friendship with Messrs. Merrick aud Bias had
not been cordial he would not put stain upon
