BY Universal Service.

BOSTON, Nov. 16.-Lieut. Gov.
Alvin T. Fuller, acting governor.
today ordered an investigation OF
all insane hospitals in the state
as a result Of the circumstances
surrounding the commitment to
Mclean Asylum Of Dorothy Cor
don, heiress to a 10000 fortune.
The acting governor ordered the
inquiry following a personal visit
to the Mclean institution, where
he interviewed Dorothy in person.
Wants to Stay. He Says.
The girl told Mr.. Fuller, according
to his own statement. that she
wanted to remain in the asylum.
A few days ago Dorothy declared
she was being kept there by her
guardian.
What caused Dorothy to change
her mind?
william F. Jardine, Dorothy's
guardian, also went to see her day
or SO ago. So did John Gardiner,
uncle of the heiress.
John l.. Sheehan, Gardeners attor-
ney, was told of the interview Acting
Governor Fuller had with Dorothy.
He said:
"I have no desire to get into any
controversy with the lieutenant gov
ernor, but when I saw Dorothy with
her uncle, she said nothing to me like
she is reported to have said to Fuller.
Quite the contrary, but l cannot say
anything now"
Interview With Heiress.
The interview between Dorothy
and Fuller follows:
do you know that you can get
out of this place II you wish to-" the
lieutenant governor asked.
YES" Dorothy replied.
Are you a voluntary patient
here?"
Yes"
"Do You want to leave here?"
mo, 1 wish to stay here"
Ibid you sign the paper for your
commitment"
"Yes, / did"
Are you treated well and fairly
here?"
yes, have no complaint to
make"
Dorothy Seems Despondent.
During the talk Dorothy seemed
despondent and uneasy. She spoke
automatically, as IL she had been
asked the same questions many
times before. The lieutenant COVER
nor said:
MY opinion is that Dorothy is
not entirely competent. She seems
to be in need of further care. She
seemed to be very despordent. Her
main thought seemed to be left
alone.
"I did not ask whom she pre-.
ferred as guardian, Jardine or
Gardiner.
Before the interview with Doro.
thy, I talked with officials of the
institution. I was told that Dorothy
had several times attempted to
commit suicide.
1T seems to me that II the girl
Ia competent to Judge for herself,
she wishes to stay at the hospital.
She said 20. On the other hand.
IL she is not competent, she needs
further care and should stay there.
Nevertheless, / think full In
vestigation should be made of this
case. will seek to ascertain
whether Dorothy was induced by
some threat to sign the voluntary
petition for commitment or whether
she did Il of her own free will"
