Inc Rochester insane asylum I'M
broglio obtruded itself and ne arly
caused rumpus yesterday, the second
of the session of the State Medical So
ciety at the West hotel. The first thing
after the meeting had been called to
order DR.. Willard, of st. Paul, intro
duced the following resolution;
Whereas, we the members of the Mime
sofa State Medical society, having read with
profound regret the articles that have ap-
peared of late in some of the journals of this
state relative to the death and possible kill
ing of one Combs, an inmate of the asylum
for the insane located at Rochester, and
Whereas, Believing that the printed reports
statements and comments regarding the
direlictiOn of duty of the superintendent
and his colleagues of the said institution
have been made without thorough investi-
CATION, thereby engendering unjust and hasty
criticism upon the officials of said lnstitu-
tons; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we express ourselves as
heartily impressed with the opinion that the
press have digressed from the true aim and
dignity of journalism in its unwarIantable
attempts to vilIIfy the names of men who, in
the faithful discharge of their official duties,
have heretofore been beyond reproach. That
we hereby express our esteem and confidence
in DR.. Bowers, the superintendent OF the
asylum. and regard him as a gentleman of
humane, conscientious and upright principles
that has been SO indifferently cast upon him.
DR.. Zero stated that while he had con-
suited no one, he thought the members
were unanimous in condemning the
treatment DR.. Bowers had received
from the press. DIR. Mayo defended DR..
Bowers, while Drs. Evans and Emery
thought the resolutions should not be
introduced. DR.. Bowers himself was
present and finally stopped the rising
storm by asking that the resolutions
should be withdrawn. He thought the
society should not express an opinion
while he was under an investigation, so
the resolutions were withdrawn, and
peace reigned.
