Mclean True to "His Chief"
I'm his Colfax speech the governor
uttered words to this effect:
We cannot afford to be weighted down With
. man In whom che public has lost conf
times during his service in the asylum has
been proved true to his chief
''The governor desired to depict Mclean
a. faithful to me. but his CHIEF really
meant no one more or less than the gov
ernor OF the state Of Washington, In which
light the statement was admirably true.
Referring back to my letter quoted in
reply to the governors communication re-
lating to the affidavits filed against me,
you will observe that therein called for
the fullest possible investigation Of the
charges. I have already told you that no
reply was sent to this demand.
II now demand in my own defense and
for the information Of the public and for
sake Of the good name Of the Medical
Lake asylum for the insane, that the two
libelous and perjured affidavits signed and
sworn to by Helen Dixon and Miss Stew
art. discharged attendants at the institu-
ton. and which affidavits were placed In
the hands Of the board OF audit and con-
troll be produced by Gov. Rogers and
given to the press OF the state OF WASH
ington for publication.
Demand for the wSmen's A@davits.
II further demand Of Gov Rogers that
he announce in the press Of the state the
name Of the person or persons to whom
these FOUL false statements OF immoral
conduct on my part were made. and by
whose procurance and before what officers
OF the law the two affidavits in support OF
these charges were sworn TO.

made for the purpose OF covering charge

OF the Medical Lake institution: that these

as trained nurses. al the urgent solicita-
