BosToN April IS. - At the Tewksbury
examination to-day Mary 4. Bower, for
merly an inmate, said she could not eat
food furnished, but lived upon that bought
with money furnished her; never saw any
of the Marsh family while there; thirty or
more women were Dathed in the same wat
or, many patients having many kinds of
diseases, and many infested with vermin;
when there was time carbolic acid
was poured on the hands of such
persons; yermin were all over the place,
rats being so abundant that parents would
call nurses to drive them away; one con-
sumptive woman was unable to call for help,
and her feet were badly bitten; this hap
peped every night until she died; clothes
and everything were filthy, but when the
inspector was expected they were cleaned;
one woman who died was so large her body
was crowded into a box by men
standing on it; she had on the same
bonnet worn when alive; another patient
occupied the bed on which this woman
died that night, no change of clothing
being made, an old insane woman was
beaten with sticks and tied with ropes.
The witness had come on from New
York to give her testimony and Brown
asked several questions which Butler said
were not pertinent.
Brown retorIed that characters of wit
nesscs so far were fit subjects for criticism,
and he proposed in this case to know this
witness entire story.
The governor said be did not propose to
sit still and allow his witnesses to be ma
ligned. He asked the committe not
to allow it. Some of their
daughteitsb is bsi , nnon earth opd dsa ao
plause from spectators followed. The gov
ernor said that because witness was fallen
woman, her character should not be the
issue in this case. She should answer all
pertinent questions, but not those which
sought to drag her down.
Brown said his excelency WINGED as he
never had before. He called the COVER
nor's attention to a case where he, the
governor, questioned witness in regard to
character, etc., in the most unheard-of way.
Question as to proceeding with cross-ex-
animation was decided by the committee
in the affirmative, by five to four votes.
Miss Bowen refused to give the name by
which she was known in New York. Coun-
] sci demanded it, to inquire into her char
acter for veracity, and in the course OF the
controversy the governor said this investi-
| CATION was of interest to the entire coun-
| try where there were institutions like
| Tewksbury, and ought to go before it. AL
ready it had aroused examination in other
states. He had never b ad political thought
| in connection with it. The only questions
, to be decided were law, pr priety and hui
mainly, but the opposing,ceunsel took that
narrow view of it, which be was capable of.
| The chairman said the governors remarks
! that another to vote would hand this
i committee down as another committee was
handed down to the country by its 8 to Z vote
was highly improper, and he hoped no
more political illusions would be made by
any of the counsel.
| The governor said he had as little respect
for the chairman's opinion as the latter
had for his, and he had no respect for the
chairman decisions Being asked if Miss
Bowen would be present TO morrow, Cover
nor Butler said if she was not her testimo
nv could be stricken from the record,
Adjourned.
