nature toward DR.. Babcock DR.. Grif-

the fact that DR.. Babcock was un-

Dr. Griffin admitted that he did not
spend but about two hours at the
asylum each day and that Dr. Bab-
cock might visit his ward during his
absence. He testified that DR.. Saun-
ders was very capable and loyal to
her patients, that there was no rule
to prevent her going into his depart

DR.. Saunders during her examina-

facts that he had had some differ

brought out. Dr. Babcocl asked the
witness to define the terms insanity"
"hallucination," "deluson," and 9TH

declined to do, although he affirmed
that he could give the definition
of each of them.
DR.. Griffin stated during DR.. Bah

not make a thorough physical exam

under his charge; that he had vacci-

made the Wasserman test for syphilis
on any of them; that his patients were
negro men ard that syphilis was the
most frequent cause OF their trouble.
DR.. Griffin was examined by Gov
ernor Blease as to his political atlilia =
ton, declaring himself an anti

out, he said, to show that the Blease
board had not allowed prejudice TO

The report to the creditors COM
mittee of the Assets Co. indicates
that Cobe's $1O,OOO,OOO company was
also a very sick man. Among other
things the report says:
1.-THE prevailing impression is that
the principal business of the COM
pany was the purchase and sale of
bankrupt and financially embarrass-
ed estates. During the past few years,
however, such transactions have con-
stituted but a small percentage of the
total business, the very large proper
ton of which has been the promotion
and development of more or less haZ-
ardous enterprises and the making of
loans to individuals and corporations
upon terms and under conditions
which were not acceptable to banks
or trust companies"
The report says annual expenses
aggregate 100000, while income will
not exceed 100000.
Cobe, who organized the Assets Co.
and was its president, is one of Chi
cago's leading financiers. Not long
