The hospital committees report has
been completed and will make nothing
but passing reference to the skeleton
case The charges of mismanagement
and ncompetency grew out OF the
many bits of testimony which have
been adduced at the various hearings
of the hospital committee, all of whlch
have been printed in the STAR. The
solution of the skeleton mystery IS as
far distant as ever
No more witnesses will be heard In
the grand jury's asylum probe until
next week, probably on Tuesday, Wnen
lnf
curry as TO the management OF the
Hospital for the Insane at Overbrook
as we'll as the institution formerly in
South Orange avenue, where the skele-
ton was found.
Who the witnesses will be that are
TO be called next week Prosecutor VIII
bur A. Mott profeased not to know
when asked today, and said that, as
matter of fact, he himself had not yet
determined upon them. 1t is under
stood however, that Mrs. Francisco
Hinkel. the woman who has said time
and again that she saw Mrs. Katharine
Lindner hit over the head with chair
by one of the nurses in the hospital,
will be called once more to TESTIFY, and
that several physicians and attendants
will be asked what they know about
the asylum and its management.
Dr. John Q. CASTOR, of the asylum's
medical staff, was<the star witness at
the session of the grand jury late yes
terday afternoon and was questioned
for nearly two hours about his state
nient made before the investigation
committee concerning the drunkenness
of attendants on the night of a fire IN
the old South Orange Avenue Asylum
last June. He was also asked about
certain cases of alleged inefficiency and
neglect of duty. AS he has been at
the hospital only two years he could
throw no light on the skeleton mystery.
