Mickey Angry at Removals.
W. II. Biggs and c. A. Cronk. employees
of the Norfolk asylum were peremptorily
discharged yesterday afternoon by Superin-
tendent Alden and the matter has been re
ported to Governor Mickey by Assistant
Physician Nicholson The letter from DR.
Nicholson was received by Governor Mickey
this afternoon and it gave him the first IN,
formation he had that Or. Alden had begun
to exercise his authority as head OF the
institution
In the letter DR.. Nicholson asserted Biggs
and Cronk were two of the most faithful
employees Of the institution and had been
discharged merely on account of their tes-
tinony in the recent investigation of the
conduct of DR.. Alden and DR.. Nicholson.
Blggs recently wrote Governor Mickey that
DR.. Alden had not told the truth when
testfying.
Governor Mickey is indignant at the &C
| ton of Superintendent Alden in discharg-
ing any of the employees at this time but
| the only comment he made upon reading
/ the letter was;
Nov, what do you think Of that? Isn't
that pretty muss? Discharging employees
because they told the truth upon the wit
ness standg'
The governor has not yet been handed a
copy Of the report of the, boards exam
ination of the institution and until he gets
the copy he will not say what he will do in
the matter. II is reasonable to suppose,
however, the governor will stick by his de-
| mand for the resignation of the two Of
tenders and it may be possible when he
gets ready TO have them move out he will
move them unless he is hindered by the
courts.
