(By Tclegraph.)

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23-The
State Board of Lunacy Commissioners
met here today to hear the report OF
Governor Gage on the result of the,
Investigations Of the board into the
conditions existing at the -Agnews asy-
lum for the insane, situated near San
jose, in Santa Clara county. Governor
Cages report is doubtless one of the
most startling papers of its kind ever
presented to a similar board for its
consideration. It is based principally
ON the career of DR.. NJ. Sponagle, nledi-
cal director OF the asylum, previous to

Inc investigation OF affairs at AgneWs
WAS the direct result of the birth of a

tlunll charges We're made and the in
vestIsauion followed. Governor Gage
included i'm his report the testimony
Of reputable people, tending to show
that Sponagles career was one Of gross
immortality and crime. IA

governor Gage asserts that in 1892.
Mhlie sponagle was q resident Of
Fresno. in this state, he was accused
or trying to defraud Philadelphia

a1niner he was, out Of $4,000 with the
assistance of "a Mrs Skinner whose

shortly after the first payment on the

a serious nature against Sponagle who
