Prom a sag Correspondent
sPEScRR, W. Va, Oct 24,-Tho great
and much heralded comedy entitled au
investigation into tho charges OF tho
official conduct Of the management Of
the second hospital for the inians, was
presented here to-day in the board OF
dlreetors' room, aud developed into just
what have ali along predicted i! would
DO not a comedy, but a one act farce.
For several hours the board, presided
over by Governor MacCorkls, sat with
open doors to hear such charges as any
ono had to present against all connected
with the Institution. The net result OF
the investigation briefly summarized is
first, that no actual investigation was
had; second, the persons who have
made the charges aud who were repre-
ssntsd by their attorneys in obedience to
the summons Of the board. withdrs "
them. because. as they stated, they did
not recognize that they could be ialrly
heard by a directory composed OF in
tereSted parties; third, the directory
then held brist inquest Of its own, in
which it was developed that none OF
the charges againIt the superintendent,
DR.. Rowe and tho asylum stat were
sustained; fourth, tue serious charge
against the president Of the board OF
directors, Hon. William L. Lively, made
by a woman, waa not even heard, the
prosecuting witness not appearing and
lhe attorney in charge OF the matter
having Withdrawn the charge Tor the
reason stated above. Governor Mac
CorkIe will make a personal inyeItiga-
ton Of this case. This is how tho mat
ter stands, but there arc some few do
tails that must bO told in order that the
public may understand the situation
thoroughly.
