| night another foundiing died at Williams
asylum. making three deaths from inani-
tion since Christmas. AT the Coroner's in
| quest to-day Williams admitted that no
physician had been called to attend the
children or the simplest remedies applied,
| as he and his household firmly believe III
the efficacy of prayer curing all human
ills, and where patient died in his institu-

the institution is in the hands of lot of
religious fanatics, who in the above cases
were guilty of criminal neglect and recon-
mend that the place be closed by the.au-
thorities.
