CHARGE NOT SUSTAINED.
The progress OF the inquiry INTO the
charges OF cruelty made against the
monks conducting the MarienbuFs asylum
tends to diminish the strength OF the
accusations.
The F'rankfurter Zcituug reports that
the most rigorous examination Of the
rooms Of the monastery. the closest ques-
tioning Of the inmates. and the most
exhaustive scrutiny of their persons. b.
a commission composed Of two Stale cOun-
CllOrs. two government physicians. and
two police commissioners has disclosed
nothing that would subst8nuate any of
the serious charges made against the
brotherhood % monks conducting the
asylum, and tho commission have tele-
Traphed Herr Won koeller. Minister OF the
Interior. 60 this effect.
The result of Tire inquiry has given
the Catholic press an opportunity to COM
mcnt iorcibly upon what they character
.ze as an unscCmly exhibition Of public
fury, arising out az the charges. ana
the consequent inquiry and it4 revela-
lions. The truth IL. the papers assert,
that crueltes. such as they were. Were
practiced upon some o. the insane pa

OF the district fraternity governing the
asylum. without the knowledge Of their
associates. This bc.ng the case, the fra
