The State Board Of Public Lands and
Buildings, Treasurer Mortensen, Secretary
OF State Galusha. Attorney General Brown
and Land Commissioner Eaton returned
from Norfolk this morning after spending
yesterday at the insane hospital, taking
evidence in the charges against DR.. Alden
and DR. Nicholson. superintendent and as
sistant superintendent 1t is probable the
board will conclude to place Governor
Mickey on the stand before listening to
the arguments Of the attorneys in the case,
but this likely will not be done until after
the members get copies Of the testimony
and have had an opportunity to study 1t
over carefully.
While members of the board will make
no official statements 1t appears superin-
tendent Alden will not come in for much
censure for his conduct of the institution
Whether the board will recommend that
Alden and Nicholson get out of the insti-
tuition is another question. The stories Of
the witnesses have been So conflicting that
! 1t is a question OF veraclty and some mem
bers of the board are inclined to believe
there has been no more i'll treatment Of
! inmates at the Norfolk asylum than at
any other institution of the same character
anywhere. Besides. the attendants who
are charged with cruelty. or nearly all OF
them, are no longer in the employ OF the
asylum. Ellis. against whom most of the
charges Of cruelty have been directed, is
employed as gardener and has no super
vision over the inmates.
| Members of the board are inclined to
the belief Or. Alden has shown a lack OF
backbone for not exercising more authority
over employees supposed to he under his
control and the evidence has also shown
the members that harmony is entirely ab.
sent between Superipttepdent Alden and DR.
