son who makes them, or to. furnish anv
fact which will enable us. to discover
the alleged wrongdaers. The conclusion
is inevitable that the charges were not
published for a proper purpose @.#;
Mr.. James Hourihan does hot stand
in any better light. He had heard Of
certain rules and formed an opinion
that they would work badly without
any Investigation to ascertain the
facts he wrote for publication in a
leading newspaper of the state letter
charging in effect that the conditions

tally and her life thereby endangered;

promised by officers Of the institutions:
the fines We're unla wfully assessed on
employees to make good deficiencies In
the. revenue due. TO poor management;
that only undesirable employees could
be secured or retained and that a state
of anarchy existed.
He stated Under oath that In writing

fear and anxiety to tens Of thousands
of people in orr state who have rela-
tives or friends in the hospitals. Such
charges should not he made adm sent
broadcast throughout the, land without
due Investigation and good cause.
Faithful officers and employees are also
entitled to protection against reckless
assault upon their standing and work.
IN this ease they have been charged
not merely with horrible abuse but
with actual crime.
1t Is true that Mr.. Hourihan claims
that he did not intend his letter to
charge certain of the matters we have
set out. but no one can read the Letter
without concluding that he did intend
to make all the clnaroes stated in di-
rect terms or by inuendo. and that the
letter was designed to be what vt was,
an attack upon 'tthe officers and en-
p1oyes Of the institution. That it was
without grounds is fully shown.
Much Testimony Taken.
The sworn testimony taken with re-
spect to the charges is very volumious.
1t included evidence from Max r..
Witte who Is superintendent at Clar-
india and was many years assistant at
Mount Pleasant: DR.. F. T. Stevens,
for years member Of the Mount
Pleasant staff, and the members of the
! board who have visited the institution
monthly since 1898. The testimony
taken covered period of twenty-six
years and the board of control finds
| that the physical culture charges are
| absolutely false covering that time.
| Mr.. Hourihan's charges included
one that woman had been compelled
to work in the sun He had instituted
habeas corpus proceedings for the re-
lease of this patient and they failed.
He did not claim when examined on
oath by the board that he had person.
al knowledge Of the things charged.

The board has carefully stated the
substance of the charge made by both
