ANSWERING GOVERNOR CuAhu
INSTITUTION RUN ECONOMICALLY.

argument for the defence the Tewksbury Amshouss
investigation this morning He gave figures to show
that under Mr. Marsh the almshouse was run economi
cay and read from Mrs. Leonard's recent report TO
show that the institution was In good condition Tne
twelve witnesses TO prove certain
human skins had tanned. There is moi pretence
that anybody at Te wksbury any officer at Harvard
College ever knew OF this tanning. The Governors
own evidence goes to disprove the claim that the re-
mains OF bodies dssected not decepy disposed Oh
Reyerng the charge OF cruelty Mr Brown asserted
that OF the inmates who testified upon this poins
there was but has questionable record AS 10 tue
death OF oundlings Mr.. Brown challenged contradiction
In saving tnat not another institution can be found
where only such foundlngs received 1t was sup
posed could not live There only fifteen persons In
twenty-five years who appeared by the books TO DO
drawing raons when they were not there 10 eat them
the charge that the law had been outraged
In the disposal OF the dead Mr. Brown said tn II no BODY
but that OF Pak when hal beea buried ever went TO
the dssecting table. The Governor never mtehued 70
examine T. j. Marsh r and IL was the ears joke OF
mittee believe Marsh in contempt For sixteen
years suspicion against the latter existed and the
the charges against hm, properly dismssei them Tne
Governor ssys that he cat run TewksDury Tor xooVy
