CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. 17.-Evi-
dences multiply that the Asylum inves-
tigation did not investigate. 1t was the
impression Of some members Of the COM
mittee that one OF the Hospital staff
stated that thirty or forty lunatics were
confined in the jails Of the State, and the
committees report would have made
that statement, but Superintendent
Lewis, who arrived here last night,
stated that not single lunatic was now
in county Jail, and the report will be
made accordingly. Since the statement
was made, however, 1t has been ascer.
tniRed to be incorrect.
On the 9Th Of present month luDatic
was buried from the Roane county jail
and one is still confAed there. In
Kanawha county a Colored female luna.
tic has been confined for two or three
years past and is still here. 1t seems
probable that Il 8 little more time was
given the statement that thirty or forty
were still confined in jails would be
found correct.
