Miss Merton feels much aggrieved at
being forcibly fed instead of being re-

shouts or screams when subjected TO the

result"
When the bishop asked her what mes
sage he should give to her friends. Miss
Merton replied:
'atrel them | am very we'll considering.
She added. however, that forcible feeding
always made her sick and she thought
she was gradually growing weaker, but
she made no complaint Of harshness on
the part of those who administered the
food.
Miss Brady told the bishop that she
hated forcible feeding. but that it did not
make her sick. She thought. however II
gave her indigestion.
Both women refused to promise to re-

released
