In that way he would be alone respon-

asked for by Commissioner Drummond.
It was in this institution that aged paralytic
was deliberately seal ed to death year ago
by brutal unpaid attendants. who were impressed
into service because of the nggardly policy which
Mr.. McAneDy upholds.
The Richmond County Grand Jury has condemned
the system Of leaving the city's aged poor 10 the
tender merces of the unpaid attendants, who, as
the trial of the slayers Of the scalded to death
showed are often persons with criminal records
or criminal tendencies The Charities Department,

abolish the abuse. Mr. McAneny is resisting hui
