Jpxestirnttng Committee Finds the
Superintendent of Fulton insane
Asylum Guilty as Charged.

JEFFERSoN CITY, May 1l.-(Special)
The See committee to investigate the ful-
ton asylum and the Industrial Home Tor
Girls. at ChiIIicothe, will submit its re-
rort to the house tomorrow. 1t was
learned tonight that the report Will sub
stantiate all the charges made against Df'
j. T Coombs, the superintendent at ful-
ton, and will recommend his removal The
report is signed by See, of Montgomery,
chairman. voolfolk, of Lincoln; Fitzger
aid of Gentry: Hall, of Grundy, and Mus
ser of Miller. The first three are Demo,
Gratis. II is understood that Fitzgerald
and Voolfolk fought against the recon-
mendation for CoombS' removal. but when
a majority of the committee voted for It,
they surrendered and agreed to make the
report unanimous.
The renort finds that DIR. Coombs was
addicted to the use of intoXicants to eN-
cess, and thereby was rendered lncapable
10 perform his duties. II Will also lind
thai he was guilty of immoral conduct with
one of the female attendants.
Governor Stephens comes in for an in
direct censure, the report virtually accuS-
ing him of falsehood. 1t was shown that
after the board of charities investigated
DR. Coombs carly in 1885, Governor Ste
DhenS went before the board OF managers
III. Fulton and represented to them that
the board of charities had recommended
that Dr. CoombS be reinStated. The gov
trnor promised says the report. that
should the board of managers accede ia
his request, Coombs would resign in a
short time. Later on the report intimateS
that tho governor was guilty of miSreDre-
senting the facts, for by the testimony OF
three members Of the board Of charities,
ID is shown that the board made no recon-
mendation whatsoever, claiming that ii had
no authority to do so. IN TINS connection
the report finds that the board of man.
ayers is supreme, and should not be sub
Ie5.ted to outside influence either by the
hoard of charities or by amy individual.
The report also finds that the board OF
managers and the officers at Fulton were
