sumed the inquiry into the management
Of the State Almshouse at Tewksbury.

he detected Marsh, Marsh told him to
keep still about what he had seen Of the
loading Of bodies at the deadhouse.
Marsh said: ''We have got to have some
pay for our trouble in taking care Of these
critters" Witness gave the details OF the
case Of a man who was put into . cell
intoxicated, and who died in four days
from neglect. Witness saw a light in the
trunkroom ct night several times after
the inmates had retired, and going in
quietly one night saw Capt. Marsh's wife
opening the trunks and taking clothing
out Of them. Mrs. Pope, housekeeper,
now in Middletown, told him that she
had seen the same thing, and that the
most valuable dresses were taken by Mrs.
Marsh to her private storerOom and made
over for the Davis girls. Twenty children
in one ward were heard to cry out at night
because of hunger. One night, out of
curiosity, he went to the burying ground
and saw four bodies resurrected and driven
off in a wagon. The state of food for the
inmates and insane was always very poor
and the allowance very slender. A man
who drove the Hospital team told witness
he had taken up 6S bodies in eight months.
The man was dissatisfied then, but the
next day showed a few hundred which he
said Tom Marsh had given him. Witness
was afterwards appointed with his wife to
the care Of the female insane. The trunks
of the insane had been taken away. The
cells were in a filthy condition. One in
sane woman was in a dirty cell in the attic.
She was entirely without clothing and
almost starved. The assistants said she
was violently insane and would tear her
clothes. She had only one meal a day,
carried to her by on idiotic girl, who had
always taken care Of the woman. Witness
watched and found that the girl threw the
food away and cam back with the empty
plates, saying that the woman had eaten
all the food. In five or six weeks he had
the woman out OF the cell and in the sit
ting room. She was so changed her hus-
band did not know her. Her name was
Mary Barron.
Gov. Butler-What was her husbands
name?
Witness-I don't know; he lives in
Boston.

will bring him to me tomorrow morning.

a year only one had lived.
