ASYLUM PROBE
"S|DESTEPPED BY
FREEH0LOERS
Investigation of Overlook
Scandal Blocked by Motion
to Adjourn.

Instead of hearing what promised tc
be sensational disclosures. the commit
tee on county hospitals of the Board
of Freeholders decided at its meeting
late yesterday afternoon that it was
not worth while probing into the al
legged asylum scandal involving one OF
the nurses and a freebooter.
This action was taken at the thresh-
old of what promised to be sensational
disclosures after the matter had been
brought up by F~reeholder Gottlieb. In
v~estigation of the scandal was blocked
by a motion to adjourn, made and car
ried before Mr.. Gottlieb could press his
suggestion that the charges be probed.
When the matter was brought up by
Mr.. Gottlieb he said that there had been
statements made by members of the
recent grand jury that implied that
the morality of the overlook insti-
tuition was not what it should be, some
of the grand jurymen going so far as
TO saw that at least one freeholder a
been guilty of improper relations with
q nurse at the asylum. Because or
publicity given the scandal, Mr.. Colt
heb said there had been created an i'm
preston that members of the hospital
committee were guilty and that to re-
flute this belief the truth shoul be
established.
ut was broadly limited by members
of the Grand Jury" said Mr.. Gottlieb.
.'tnat there has been gross immortality
at the hospital and we ought to find
on whether this is So"
Why. no sensible person would be-
lie We anything like that" said Chair
man Haskell.
Mr.. Gottlieb asked DR.. Daniel NJ
Dill. the superintendent. what he knew
about the charges. The doctor hesi-
tated. and before he could divulge any
Information. Mr.. Haskell i%nterposed;
Il don't believe this committee wants
to hear anything about it."
In another momen Freebooter
Wards motion to adjourn had gone
into effect.
The meeting was further enlivened
by spirited tits between DIR. Dill and
Director Ougheltree n Supervisor
Baldwin.
Director Ougheltree criticized DIR. Dill
for not reporting to him a fire that &C.

the county spends thousands of dollars
for insurance annually and that any
loss. no matter how small. should be
good. DR.. Dill said he considered
the loss too small for the county to
bother with and added. with sarcasm,
that he would pay the S. out of his
own pocket rather than have any
over 1t.
I'm tired of all this haggling about
