A motion for n new trial for Bob"

Mr.. Connolly withdrew them. saying he
was willing TO rely on Mr.. T~hresher's

Mr.. Thresher then took up his bill or

that IL would take evidence 20 remove

that the court should have excused

decisions to support his point. Another
alleged error argued was that the court

AgneWs Asylum Not to Be Given the Cleansing
 It Needs.
State LunaCy Commission Dis posed to Pass Lightly Over
 the Scandal.

SAN JOSE, July 25.-It was learned tonight that the State Lunacy Com mission, which is to convene at the Agnews State Hospital tomorrow morning, Is to confine its investiga- tions almost entirely to the case of Dr. Sponogle, the medical superintendent of the institution. Its work also will embrace a cursory examination of asylum affairs in general, but no one looks for the searching and thorough investigation that is necessary to re- instate the administration in the con- fdence of the public. The general pre- dictiOn is that there will be as artistic a coat of whitewash applied as ever was laid on by an Investigating body.
 The charges against Dr. SpOnogle were embraced in th~ sensational state ments uttered by Detective Erwin Frost at the last regular session of the Agnews board, comprising reports that Dr. Sponogle had been accused of hay iRg murdered his first wife and ruined a young girl in Fresno. Frost is un- derstOod since to have been taken into the camp of the Gould-Sp Sponogle fac tion. and nothing of a damaging char acter is expected to result from his ex- animation.
 However anxious the friends of Dr. Sponogle may be to retain him in his place, it is held by many that he will

have to be removed. owing to his be- ing legally disqualified. A law passed at the last session of the Legislature provides that no one shall be eligible to
 the position of medical superintend- ent of Q State hospital who has not had three years experience in the treat ment of the insane. This experience Dr. SponOgle has not had.
 Governor Budd will not be present at the meeting of the State Commission 1t is said tonight, as he is suffering from severe cold.
 When the State board has concluded it's investigation the local directors will take up the formal charges filed against T. T. Tourtillott and Mrs. K. Madigan by Charles L. Williams. In this case, also. the groundwork Is being laid for a liberal coat of kalso- mine. Williams will be represented by an attorney at the investigation. He declares that his only object In taking action in this unpleasant affair Is to vindicate his wife's reputation in con- necttOn with the charge made by Di- rector Gould that she was suffering from mental Authorizations He says that he proposes to establish the fact that his wife's mental condition is nor nal, and that what she said she had seen at the asylum had actually taken place. In conformity with this plan, he states, he will further prove that his wife's removal was due to the fact that she 'knew too much.

 At the opening the meeting prom ised to be a warm one. Supervisor Austin took exception to the published interview of Superintendent Chipman, in which that official attributed the at tack upon him to the animus of Boss" Req in an attempt to kill him politi- cally. Austin denied he was acting for any political clique, and said his motives were of the purest character. He denounced the statement in ques- tion as a lie and the author as a liar.
 Superintendent Chipman responded that If he was responsible for the statement Austin knew how to obtain redress and where to find him. Austin then qualified his statement.
 Petit gave a lucid explanation of the charges in his bill, which covered the time from May to June 30. He had done most of his work at home, put ting in from eight to ten hours a day. The fact that some of 1t had been done at San Miguel was made much of by the Supervisors and caused acrimon- ious remarks. An attempt was made to prove that he had not performed some of the services charged.
 Miss Cornelia Farley, H. M. Bland and Elmer Brownell, members of the County Board of Education. gave tes- timony contradictory to Petit, but as their statements showed animus they were lightly received by the spectators present Bland and Brownell. both Req men, are out for the nomination for County Superintendent of Schools.
 Chipman's testimony supported that of Petit.
 At the conclusion of the examination of witnesses the allowing of bills was postponed until next months meeting. It appears now as though the investi- gation has proved a political boom arang and Req Is anxious to drOn It.
