potency.

The eliminating act In the investigation
of the charges Of incompetency against
Professor Ebenezer Knowlton by the
Board of Education proved to be a gen.
uine farce comedy yesterday. Principal
Lyser of the John SWEET Grammar
School, who preferred the charges, was
present at the investigation evidently by
appointment with Director Casserly, who
is acting in the capacity Of counsel for
the prosecution and judge Of the trial
court. That the court is biased against
Knowlton is evidenced by the manner in
which the proceedings were conducted
from the commencement of the hearing.
afternoon Attorney McPike, counsel for
Knowlton, announced that his client
waived the privilege Of calling upon the
pupils of the Everett School to testify in
his behalf. McPike said he might have
called upon Judge Sloss, Assessor Dodge
and other prominent men who were pupils
Of Knowlton at one time and who were
ready to testify as to his efficiency. But
he understood that the board had an
nounced it's willingness to admit all these
gentlemen would testify to in that con-
nection.
Chairman Casserly denied that this ad-
mission had ever been made in the pro-
ceedings The testimony was read by the
reporter, but nothing bearing upon the
matter at issue could be found. McPike
insisted that the proceedings in which
the admission was made were not read,
and Casserly triumphantly announced
that McPike was wrong. The matter was
then passed.
