death have not been made public.
1t is thought that a full and COM

be made alone by the legislature, as
it is governed by a board of trustees
created by the general assembly.
However, Governor smith can take
steps to determine the truth or falsi-
ty of the specific charges that have
been openly made, and in response to
a request from the officials at the
asylum has asked the board of trus-
