vent my doing go, when I simply re-
moved her arm and walked past her and
closed the door. After this she went
down in the Office where several persons
saw her, who can easily testify that there
was no mark whatever on her face,
but about an hour later after having
been in her own loom she again came
down with mark below the left eye
that simulated very closely mark that
had been made with pin. It 10 my
opinion and belief that she made the
scratch herself. 1t may be remarked IN
this connection that a gentleman in this
city who will swear that he saw Mrs. A.,
DR.. Moore and the Minneapolis Journal
correspondent in a room in the Glad
stone hotel the time when these false
and scandalous reports commenced being
published, and the time when my picture
was obtained by false represent tations
from the photographer.
THE YOUNG AFFAIR.
Some four or five years ago Senator E.
Young, of Tower City, N. D., had the
misfortune to have tO commit bis wife
to. this institution, on account Of mental
illness, since which time Senator Young
has visited at the hospital at least every
month, spending from one to two and
three days at time, and not infre.
quently was accompanied by frien as Of
bis.
Mr. Young for long time impressed
me with his great anxiety in his wlfe's
condition, and for the reason that
thought it was great source OF comfort
for him to spend as much time as he did
with her, and believing it right that he
should have such PERMISSION, I never
made any objection to his doing so, until
the past few months, and for reasons
which I herewith give: About three
and-s-half years ago, as I remember, he
came to me requesting that 1 give q
young lady a position in the hospital,
claiming her to be his niece, and that it
would be great comfort to him on &C.
count of his wife being patient here;
that they thought great deal of each
other. On these grounds, | gave hie
supposed niece a position. About two.
and-a-half years ago he asked me to
take his wife home on vacation, and
also that his niece should accompany
them as caretaksr. This request also
granted. In the course of five or six
weeks both returned to the hospital.
About year-and-a-half subsequent to
this visit homo this young lady was mar
ried, and four-and- "a hall months after
marriage gave birth to a child at full
term. OF course this surprised her hns-
band, when she made affidavit that her
uncle, Senator E. Young, was the father
of her child, and that her downfall oc-
Cured during her visit to his home in
charge of Mrs Young, and, further, that
during all her uncle's visits here to the
institution from that time up to the
time OF her marriage, he had been init
mate with her.
For the reason that immoralities have
been charged against this institution, l
sm determined to place 1t, before am
through, where it properly belongs.
Mr.. Young himself, when asked concern
ing the matter, confessed to me that, to
save himself and be released from pub
licity end custody, he paid $500 in cash
and gave his note for $500. Upon further
inquiry I found that this young lady
was not his niece. as he had at fret as
sured me.
This man, Young, who has been posing
as saint and guardian over the morals
of others, has been the most intimate
friend and advisor of Mrs. A. who to-
gether with one, DR.. d. S. Moore, has
been instrumental in setting af1oat all
the scandals published in the press, for
the sole purpose OF bringing about my
downfall and my removal as superintend-
ent OF this institution, and to secure the
position for DR.. Moore.
Through his influence in the last legls-
lature, Mr.. Mitchell. OF Wheatland, and
that Of Senator McGillivray, Mr.. Mon
tague OF Dickinson, we're appointed upon
the board OF trustees with the under
standing, az Mr. Young himself expressed
it, after the legislature had adjourned,
that he had two members on the board
that would do as he wished, Mr..
johnson of LaMoure was fool and
added further that he guessed that he
would have something to say in regard
to the hospital management and who
ehouid have the running of the same.
Notwithstanding this sca2dalous
action on the part Of Senator Young he
continues to be more than ever the per-
sonal friend OF, and manipulation in DR..
Moore's and Mrs. A. g behalf.
