A Card from DR.. Conrad's Counsel

The following card from Capt. John n.
Opie, VINO acted as counsel for the late SUI
perintendent of the w. L. Asylum during
a large portion Of the examination, appears
i'll the Richmond State of Monday Having
published the card Of MI. J. w. Blackburn
we now publish Capt. Opie's card:
STAUNToN, VA, May Z, 1889.
To the Editor Of The State:
The press and the public have drawn infer
ences and jumped at conclusions in regard to
the recent investigation of the conduct of the
late Superintendent of the Western Lunatic
Asylum which neither the charges, evidence
nor verdict warrant OF justify. Denunciatory
and condemnatory epithetS and eXpletives
have been hurled at the Superintendent and
the Board which none but the hasty, unthink-
ing or Vindictive would indulge in without
having the facts in the premises before them
The late Superintendent, DR.. d. b. Conrad
was not charged with, or was there any evil
dence, and the Board in their decision did not
find, that there was OF had been any criminal
OF immoral conduct on the part of the Super
intendent.
1t is true that the Board found that DR.. Con
rad was imprudent and indiScreet in not hay
ing third party present when he treated the
female patients, but DR.. Conrad being Ovel
sixty years of age did not deem it essential
but when this was called to his attention he
is the outrage which has caused the great hue
and cry. l hope the public will withhold its
Judgment until all of the facts in the premises
are laid before it, and not condemn in advance
the Superintendent or the Board of Visitors
the one for supposed sins of commission, the
other for supposed sins Of omission. l heard
the testimony, and declare and affirm most
sacredly and solemnly that the Superinten-
dent was neither charged with, nor found
guilty OF, immoral OF criminal conduct. And
| do hereby DEFY contradiction If Conrad was
guilty of criminal conduct, those who know me
will, am sure, bear testimony to the fact
that | would be one of the last men in Vir
ginia to condone OF conceal it. l write this at
the dictation Of justice.
Yours, Respectfully,
John N OPIF

here. Ward was indicted in Norfolk som,
time ago for pension frauds and was bailet
i'll 1000 to appear before the United States
Court there. Later, he was arrested il
Washington City on indictments fount
against him in Alexandria for similar often
ces. There he gave bail in the large sun
OF 81 800. When the U. S. Court met al
Norfolk he did not appear and his Wash
ington bondsman hearing of it sent wore
to U. S. District Attorney Thos. R. Boz
land, that Ward could be found in Staunton
MI. Borland telegraphed Chief Waters
Capt. Waters soon located Ward, but his
trouble only began there, for the colored
woman who could tell matilda Finks,
a colored cook employed by Mrs. D.
G. McGuffin) denied all knowledge of
his whereabouts. Capt. Waters then
prepared a trap in the way of a
supposed money letter for Ward. The
woman came forward and offered to sign
for the letter, whereupon the Captain at
once went to her room and there found
Ward concealed. Ward had on his person
UOoA dU-
dresses OF persons in various cities, with
amounts Of money set opposite their names,
which, as he seems to be widely engaged in
pension frauds, may be useful to the U. S.
authorities. L. S. Marshall Chapman
arrived in Staunton from Norfolk Sunday
and returned with his prisoner on Monday.
In conversation with Capt. Waters,
Ward showed that he was an old hand at
politics, if not at pensions. He had been
a member of the Louisiana legislature in
reconstruction times, and had been a right
hand supporter Of the mulatto U. S. Sena-
tor Pinchback from that State When ar
rested in Washington on the Alexandria IN
dictment, he says he was bailed by his
Grand Army friends. He said there We're
more in this pension business than he, and
if he had to suffer, others more prominent
than he should suffer too. He had, he said,
been swindled out Of money in some of the
arrangements he had made to secure his ac-
quittal, and he intended to go to the bot
tom Of this When he got to Norfolk.

Your stomach of course. Why? Because
if it is out of order you are one of the most
miserable creatures living. Give it a fair,
honorable chance and see if it is not the
best friend you have in the end. Don't
smoke in the morning. Don't drink in the
morning. If you must smoke and drink
wait until your stomach is through with
breakfast. You can drink more and smoke
more in the evening and it will tell on you
less. If your food ferments and does not
digest right,-if you are troubled with
Heartburn, Dizziness of the head, coming
up of the food after eating, Biiousness, In
