the Agnews State Hospital. not for the
good he could do for the State or for
the institution, but for the means It
afforded of making political cap
ital for Gould for Governor.
This fact he made perfectly
plain when the grab for patron
age was at its height. He openly re-
marked to one of mis- colleagues of the
board that he simply wanted the posi-
ton as a means whereby he could con-
troll influence to initiate his self-inaug-
urated boom.
Another insurmountable reason why
DR.. Sponogle should not occupy the po-
sition of medical superintendent at
Agnews has been discovered. He is
not legally qualified. At the last ses-
sion of the Legislature an act was
passed which made it necessary that
the gentleman appointed to the position
mentioned must have had five years
previous experience in an institution Of
this kind. DR.. Sponogle has not had
this experience. An explanation is due
from the board as to why they appoint
ed him under these circumstances and
why he continues to be retained.
The public is now asking, What does
the board of managers propose to do in
this matter, and when?'

SPONOGLE SPEAKS,
BUT TO NO PURPOSE
Accuses His x-Brother-in-Law and
Is Promptly Branded as
Liar

DR.. F. M. Sponogle has at last been
induced to break the silence with which
he had shrouded himself after the ter
rible charge of murder was informally
made against him at meeting of the
board of managers of the Agnew Asy-
lum for the Insane by Detective Erwin
Frost On that occasion Frost de-
manded an investigation into charges
against Sponogle in connection with his
office as medical superintendent and in
his remarks to the board said that
Sponogle had murdered his first wife
for the insurance money on her life.
In response to Frost's request for an
investigation Sponogle hung his head
and maintained science that created a
very unfavorable impression against
him. It was expected that in the face
of a. charge so terrible, SO damning,
the accused person would indig-
nantIy deny the charge and denounce
it's author as scoundrel and a liar
1t would not have appeared unnatural
even If the doctor had sprung upon the
detective then and there and killed
him-that is IL the doctor were innocent
of the charge That is what most other
men would have done under similar
circumstances. But the doctor con-
trolled himself. There being no woman
in the case but a dead one the task of
self control was easy.
AS before stated the doctor has con-
scented to speak. His reply Is given
to a morning paper in this city. It con-
sists first of a general denial Of all the
charges. II didn't do it," is the key
note Of his sad song. While denying

SPONOGLE ACCUSED BY
HIS WlFE'S SISTER
Full Investigation of Mrs. Spono-
gle's Death Was Demanded,
But Never Made.

A woman prominent in Oakland social
circles, who prefers not to have her
name mentioned in connection with the
Agnews Asylum scandal. In an inter-
view yesterday stated that while acting
as secretary Of the Mutual Companions
Endowment Society of Healdsburg
some ten years ago, she received let
ter from a sister of DR.. T. M. Sponogle's
former wife, now deceased, in which he
was charged with having compelled
her to Join the society so that In the
event of death he could reap the in
surance of $4,000, and that since joining
she had been in fear of her life. She
demanded an investigation of Mrs.
Sponogle's sudden demise, but her wish
was not granted owing to the pleadings
of Charles Weitman, brother OF the
dead woman.
The lady further stated that the let
ter was suppressed at the earnest and
fearful request Of the brother and
would still be in her possession but for
a trick played on her by DR.. Kaufman,
a resident of Healdsburg at that time,
but now In the East.
Or. Kaufman" she said, was
bosom friend of DR.. Sponogle until they
fell out over a question of compensa-
ton. DR.. Kaufman came to my home
soon after Mrs. Sponogle's death and
asked to see the letter, basing his right
as a member of our organization. 1
brought it to him and after he had ex-
amined it he smiled in satisfying
manner and said he would return it to
me after he had shown 1t to his brother
Masons That is the last l have seen
of the letter.
After DIR. Sponogle recovered from
his injuries received in being thrown
from his buggy he and his wife went
on a visit to Sacramento. While there
she was taken suddenly i'll and died. 1t
was afterward learned that a pimple
made it's appearance on her face and
the doctor attended her. Whether he
used his own instruments In trying to
remove the excrescence or another ply
stefan did was not definitely learned.
At ell events she died and the cause
was assigned to blood-poisoning The
news of her sudden taking off caused
every resident of Healdsburg to suspect
foul play and open charges were made
against DR.. Sponogle. Mrs. Sponogle's
body was placed in a receiving vault at
the Oakland cemetery pending develop
ments When an inspection was made
of the body as it lay in the vault 1t was
so distorted that 1t was unrecognizable.
1.-THE $4,000 insurance was paid over to
the doctor by the society without a pro-
test, the check being signed by Mrs. S.
b. Wood, a bosom friend of the dead
woman"

been purely typewriter's error, but it
contained the wholesome sized mig
ger" giving to the company the right
of eminent domain over public as we'll
as private property.
Another bill slaughtered was the
opium licensing bill, or, rather, bill
to regulate the use Of opium and abol-
ish smuggling.
A joint resolution, suggesting to the
executive the retention of the Hawaiian
flag as a State or Territorial flag in
the event of annexation, was passed
by the House, but killed by the coolie-
loving Senate.
Another measure which was much
desired, but which was eventually
slaughtered by one vote by the Senate,
was the income tax bill-a plan by
which the rich would contribute their
fair share to the burthen of taxation
as we'll as the poor.
number of excellent bills were
also killed, and the voluminous reports
on the inefficiency of the condition of
the public service were practically pig
eonholed by reference to the Ministers
of the several departments.
a resolution of suggestion to the ex-
ecutive for the pardoning and restora-
ton to civil rights Of the political pris-
oners of 1895 was defeated, and. in fact.
all that could be done to prevent the
contamination of harmony between the
Hawaiians and the aliens was done by
this Legislature.
Owing to the anticipation Of the ar
rival of annexation with the United
States transports there was no Ameri-
can or Hawaiian celebration of the
Fourth Of July, except by a horse race
and baseball game. The American
Minister, however held an official re-
ception, to which were invited the
members of the Government, the dip
lomattc and consular corps, the officers
of the United States warships then in
port, the Mohican, Monadnock and
Nero, and the editors Of the local press.
Mr. Sewall was in excellent spirits and
freely expressed his opinion that an
nexation was closer than anticipated
by it's opponents. He held that he
had been selected for this post of honor
to promote and obtain annexation, and
that it would be obtained during his
incumbency. He admitted that in this
respect he was a very bitter partisan,
but none the less preserved his respect
and friendship for those who conscien-
tiously differed from him. President
Dole was happy and hoped that the
Hawaiian flag would be permitted to
wave over us when we should become
a Territory. There was not an alb
sentee from the ranks of the diplomatic
or consular corps.
