Montpelier, July 2.-Georgc w. Wing re-
ceivcd yesterday from Governo. Bell a
request for his resignation as chairman
Of the board of trustees of the State hos
pital for the insane and the same was

While no! attempting to criticise the
investigating committee in any way. Mr..
Wing stated that as far as he has been
able to Judge from the report of the com
mttce which he had seen in the news
papers he could not sec the committee
was warranted in finding from evidence
that was laid before them that he had
failed to discharge the duties of chair
man of the hoard with at least fair share
of Judgment and discretion.
Mr.. Wing said ii would he strange If
the trustees of that institution had
made no mistakes and he desired to say
for himself and his associates that they

tho State. The trustees had done the
best they could

for tho committee to hold the trustees
responsible for the friction existing be-

and the other trustees had come to re-
gard their work as something more than
n mere pcrfunctory duty and he wishes
| fcr his successor that he may be above
