BOARD DIDN'T KNOW
SILVERS'S DEATH NOT RE-
PORTED AS MURDER.
Former Senator Taylor Says State Hos
pital Board of Managers Never
Knew Patient Was Beaten.

TRENTON, July 26.-Former. Senator
John Taylor, a member of the board OF
of the state Hospital, when
seen yesterday in reference to the adj
missions made by DIR. Ward in the
Hahn Investigation, that Enoch Silvers
died from rough handling by two at
tendants in February, 1906, said that
the matter was never brought before
the board in that light. He sal that
the death was reported to the board In
the regular way. and the first he knew
of it's seriousness was when he read
the morning papers.
Senator Taylor declared that there
was nothing in the report. to arouse
suspicion or indicate otherwise than
that the man had died from the ailment
which caused his emoval to the insti-
tuition. The Senator said that the man
had been suffering from paresis, but he
did not know how badly he was afflicted
with. the disease He said that when
the report was received by the board
there was some talk of maItreatment
of the man, hut AS this sort of talk In
common In the Institution among the
patients, who imagine such things mt
times. no attention was paid 10 the
matter.
In speaking generally on the matter,
the Senator said: after the report of
the death and the reference of the case
to the medical committee, it passed out
of my mind and | never heard anything
of 1t until it came out at the investiga-
ton Wednesday. That was the first
knowledge / IA that the man had died
under any other circumstances than that
caused by his ailment. / might be safe
in aying that ignorance of the board Of
the true facts of the case is the real cause
whv 1t was not reported to the prosecutor
of the county.
''The men who are now charged with
the mans death are gone and l don't
know anything about them. They We're
not long at the institution and the board
knew little Of them when they came here.
It is hard to get men TO stay there on
account of the low wage paid. and when
the board did get a good, cool-headed man
there he would not stay when he obtained
a better position, and that was not hard.
The board always disposal OF the hot
headed and those who used poor judg-
ment when 1t learned of this. Although
the two men were dismissed shortly after
the mans death. the board did not believe
hat the maltreatment Silvers received
caused his death"

GIRLS TESTIMONY
SAVES FATHER ON ILL
TREATMENT CHARGE.
-----
12-Year-0ld Rose Schoenwa1ter Weep
AS She Tells Court She Deserved.
Licking She Got.

After a lengthy hearing in which 9
score of witnesses were called, Judge
Herr dismissed the case against Adolpt
Schoenwalter and his wife. Josephine
in the Fourth Precinct Police Court to-
day. The couple were charged with ILL.,
treating the formers children. Rose,
aged IL years, and Ruth, aged 10 years
by superintendent Jared w. Kimball
of the Children's Aid Society.
The complaint set forth that Schoen-
walter, on July s, chased the two chill
dren with "A carving knife and threat
ened to Kill them. Following this II
appears people in the neighborhood re-
ported the case to Mr.. Kimba4, and
the defendants eldest son, who does
not live at home. also spoke against
his father. Mr.. Kimball swore out a
complaint on July 10, and the following
day the couple were alTaigned, and
while Mrs. Schoenwalter was paroled
until today, the husband was at first
held in $500 bail, but after he created
a scene, and in the excitement COM
PEELED four policemen to land him in a
cell, Judge Herr fixed the bail at $1,000,
and, being unable to furnish 1t, Schoen-
walter remained in jail.
Plainclothesman Kaas investigated and
discovered that It appeared more like a
case of spite than a genuine one and he
reported this to his superior. While the
majority of witnesses today appeared to
be against the defendant several, who vol
unfairly appeared. denied the charges and
praised both the defendants for the man
ner In which they kept their children.
The climax was reached. however, when
the court called Rose TO tell her story. 1t
bad previously been stated hat the child
had to do the bulk of the ~housework, and
on many occasions was beaten unmerci-
fully.
did your father or mother beat you
the way these people claim they did,"
asked the court.
mo. sir: If l got a licking it was be-
cause l deserved IT,"
did your father chase you and your
brother with a knife}"
mo, sir: it was my big brother that he
chased
ibid your mother talk to you about
this case, Inc tell you what to say?'
mo, sir, she did not, but ! cried almost
every day and my mother would say Rosie,
darling, don't cry
well. what about your father?"
"Oh, he was good to me and every Satur-
day he brought me a bag of candy and the
time ne beHt me real Dau was because 1
did not make the bed right"
AT this point the child wept and chung
to the arms of her father. and the court
then dismissed The case, giving as a rea-
son that the evidence did not warrant
the taking Of another course. The schoen-
walters live at 453 Fifteenth avenue, and
the majority of Witnesses were from fiat
vicinity, while several of them who live
In the same house spoke in favor Of the
defendants.
Later Mr.. Schoenwalter stated that It
was because he was being prosecuted that
caused him TO act rashly in the station
several days ago.
