BABES NEGLECTED
The Founding Asylum
Closed.
Coroner Hughes Will Make an In
vestigation Into the Cause of
So rIany Deaths.

Coroner Hughes has for the past few
days been investigating the condition of
the San Francisco Founding Asylum. 913
Golden Gate avenue. and yesterday when
he received certificate of the death of
one of the children from inanition be re-
fused to countersign it, and decided to
hold an Inquest on the body at II o'clock
this morning.
The Coroner states that the number of
children dying at the institution from the
same cause OF late has been unprecedente
ana a thorough Investigation must be
made. In the first twenty-five days OF
September there were twentyseven
deaths of foundlings, and every one was
credited to inanition. The physicians wh0
signed the certificates did it in all good
faith, but from the reports of carelessness
on the part of the matrons and nurses 1t
became necessary for him to make a
thorough investigatioysof the cases. 1t is
the intention 10 ind out where the respon-
siblity rests.
On complaint of the Daughters of the
Good Shep herd the Grand Jury made an
investigation into the causes OF the nu-
merous deaths of children at the asylum.
and IN It's report in March, 1892, the way
the children were cared for was severely
criticized, and it was charged that the
waits were Neglected, ted on cold milk
and allowed ITO remain in filthy beds until
they became covered with sores and died.
This report had the effect of reforming
the Institution for a brief period, but OF
late matters have gone from bad to worse,
and finally, owing to the numerous deaths,
the Board of Health determined that some
steps should be taken 10 either suppress
the institution or place it in the hands of
people " no would have the humanity to
look properly after the helpless babes.
Forty-fOur of the little inmates are deS-
perateiy sick with bowel complaint and
five are already dead. The Daughters of
the Good Shepherd have decided, pending
the investigation, 10 take charge OF the
foundlings and Yesterday they visited the
institution accompanied by representa-
tive of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children and Others interested.
They found that while the matroDs and
nurses were probably doing the best they
could the sanitary conditions were lament
ably defective, thereby endangering the
lives of the children.
The defense for this deplorable condi-
tion of things was poverty and the oecis-
ion was quickly reached to close the insti-
tuition and take all the inmates 10 the
Catholic Orphan Asylum in South San
Francisco, where they will be well taken
care of.
The probability is that the San Fran
cisco Founding Asylum will resume opera
tions if suitable building can be procured
and sufficient income assured.

THAT RANKIN BOND.
Judge Seawell VIII Not Set Aside
the Forfeiture.

A motion to set aside the forfeiture of
the bond of Charles Rankin, charged with
embezzIement, has been denied by Superior
Judge Seawell.
The bond was In the sum of $1,000. and
the sureties were Ira p. Rankin and
George a. Friedrich. Several affidavlts
we're fled in support of the motion. One
was that OF NJ. w. Coffey, an employe of
the HarbOr Commission, who stated that
after Rankin's first trial Assistant District
Attorney Hinkle told him that Rankin
could never be convicted, and that some
day the charge would be dismissed. Fried
rich filed an affidavit in which he stated
that he had allowed Rankin TO go Oh a
whaling voyage because Coffey had re-
peated Hinkle'5 statement 10 MIN.
Another affidavit was filed by Ira Z.
Rankin, stating, that he understood that
the defendant would return at the end Of
next month, and that when he heard the
case was on the calendar be explained
matters to District Attorney Barnes. who
agreed to postpone the case until the de-
fendant's return.
Against these Hinkle made an affidavit
denying Coffsy's statements. and Barnes
filed an affidavit denying that he promised
Ira P. Rankin to postpone the case. He
merely agreed TO continue 1t one week.
AS these statements were somewhat con-
fiicting Judge Seawell decided that the suit
on the bond brought by Attorney Joseph
ODonnell should be tried on its merits.
The morning call., 1893-10-06
JUDGE CONLAN MOVES.
Police Court 2 Goes to the New City
Hall.

Hall.
Police Judge COnlan got up in disgust
yesterday from his courtroom and moved
out to the new City Hall with his clerk.
bailiff, stenographer and prosecuting at
torney. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon he
opened court In Department. 2 in the Larkin
and McAllister street wing and heard the
first police court case in the new quarters.
A curious crowd gathered to see the
Judge take possession OF a new bench,
but they were disappointed for little was
said or done out of the ordinary. Judge
Conlan said he had grown tired Of waiting
for the police to move, and at last he
decided to take the bit in his teeth and
bolt for the new City Hall. He intended
to try cases Of men out on bail or bonds
every afternoon in his new courtroom, aud
cases where the defendant is in custody
will be heard every morning at the old
City Hall. BY next Monday he expects to
be permanently installed in his new
quarters.
The first case was an argument on the
charge of assault to murder against Henry
Sethmann, which occurred August IL when
Sethmann stabbed Peter Rehms with a
knife during saloon quarrel.
The new courtroom IS a vast improve
ment on what San Francisco has been
accustomed to for police courts. being
large, we'll ventilated and appropriately
furnished and laid out. Gangs of loafers,
loiterers and shysters VINO have infested
the old hall will not be allowed around the
new rooms.
Chief Crowley will move and with him
the police headquarters to the new City
Hall within two weeks. Two police courts
will have to remain in the old place until
aecomm modations can be secured in the new
City Hall.
