| At this stage Senator Burton intro
duced a letter from Father Wendelin
written to Judge Humphreys a short
time before the action Of the board
| taking steps for his dismissal and up
on the letter the examination went on
at length. In it the priest said there
| should be an investigation, stated that
there was unlawful living together of
| one hundred couples, that "A majority
Of the children We're illegitimate, that
! liquor was used in the settlement. and
| that the superintendent entered houses
| without warrant. AS to these DR..
| Sloggett said the statement as to LID
| uor was false and maintained that the
| superintendent had to enter houses to
see that the people We're properly cared
| for and that they We're kept in good
| condition.
| DR.. Sloggett said the letter in itself
] was a proof that Father Wendelin was
| not Of proper mind to keep in the place,
| for ne should have made the charges to
| the board. He denied that complaints
| We're pigeon-holed without action. SEN
ator Burton tried to show that there
might have been some connection be-
| tween the receipt of the letter and the
action of the board, but DR.. Sloggett
| said he had never seen or heard of the
letter before. DIR. Sloggett read from
| a report submitted to him by Mr.. Rey-
| nolds facts showing that the priest had
preached against the ruling powers and
that he had generally conducted him
self in a manner which made the adj
| ministration difficult.
| In closing his testimony DR.. Sloggett
said that he hoped the board would Wis
it Molokai, and Chairman Mitchell said
| that the matter would be taken under
consideration.
