CoL..Nr1i1A, S..C., May 5, 1891.
Dr. 1'. E. Grillin, Columnbia, '. C.
Dear Sir: In your letter to the regents,
a copy of which was handed me last,
week, you complain of unfair treat
ment and an ex-parLe exaitmination of
witnesses by the commit tee.
I beg to remind you that when the
investigation hegun no cha rges had been
preferred agai'1st anyone, and the com
inittee, including inyself, looked to
gettin)g at the truth only-linding out
if anything was wrong with the insti
tution or its management. Ti'he devel
opments were of such a nature as to
provoke a more thorough inquiry along
certain lies, and you were promised
an opportunity to crossquestion wit
nesses or bring in testinony in rebuttal.
- As soon as the testimony was reduced
to writing a copy was furnished to the
regents for their ml your use, and you
hatt the oppoitunit y you asked. tut,
instead ol loiing this, you entere. on a
discussion of the old and new methods
of treat ing th - insane.
Th Gonstitution io poses on me the
responsibility for the litt:ess and elli
ciency o1 the oflicers and the employees
of the Asylum. I must perform my
duty, however disagreable it may lie,
and )et I will give you the full oppor
tunity to exonerate yourself if you can.
I write to ask whether you still wish to
crossexamine the witnesses whose tes
timony condemns you, or to attempt
to ipeachi their veracity.
Yours respectfully,
1'. H. Tillman, Governor.

To his Excellency, B. It. Tillman,

your Excellency some time this after
noon or evening, either personally or

fully your obedient servant.

T.ro his Excellency. 1. It. Tillman,
Governor--Sir: After more mature
consideration of the suiject matter of
your letter of this morning, I am con
strained to recall my hasty promise to
reply this evening, and I therefore beg
your Excellency's inidulgence for a day
or two longer.
I have tle honor to be very respect

'l'o His '.1xcellency, I. R. Tillman,
Governor-'.-Sir: I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt. of your letter
of the 51t of May, instant., in which,
referring to my answer and report to
the board of regents of the Lunatic
Asylum, of date 28th April last, and to
the recent investigation miade by the
legislative commnittee, you inqiire
whether 1 "still wish to cross-examine
the witnesses (whose testimony, as you
are pleased to assert condemnifs me,) 01
to impeach their veracity."
Ini miy report to the hoard I :'ssertedl
that by the secret andl ex p)arte inquisi
t ion "justice had been dlenied me; that
I had been condemrned without oppor
tunity of plea '-md of defence, without
semblance of trial, without knowledge
of the charge and specifications lire,
ferred against me, without place foi
confronting the accusing witnesses and1
without thme tight of test imioniy in m.3
behalf."
In your lei,ter you concede that I was
'promised ati opportunit,y to cros:
question the wiit nesses or bring ini tes
tiAmonty in rebuttal." but you pireceet
to say that "as soon as the te stienion'
was reduced to writing a coiiy was fair
nishedl to thle regents for their ant
your use, andl vou had the oppoirt.unit.'
you asked. Butt arst(ead of dloing thi
you ent.eredl ont a discussion of' thle 014
and new net hods of treatinag the in
sane."
This prom isa'. as I staied int my rte
port, was madi(e o tme biy you, specakii
for the conuiiaitte'e as well as f or your
self, while 1 was before the co~mm1itt(
undergoing exam iniat ion, andi cert ain ly
if given in good faith, authorized moe
expect that. before thet iiuisi ion1) wa
concluded I should have the occa':sioi
tendered to mue by you and thei commiit
tee of presentinig my dhefence.
.Nowv your Excellency does not. r.et'
to be int oromed that so soon as ihe cotr
-mittee had conacludedl the exami nat jo
of riachi witnuss as they choose to sele(
without notice to me, without th
it.4 slightest initi mation of their readmren
to hoar me, they with swift t sentemIi
on that same (lay p)roceedled to 1 intl an
publish their verdict by which I wm
"condem ned," as you termi it, uipon moi
serious i mpiitations of naegligence-, i:
feasance and( Incapacity in the condu<(i
of my office affecting my personal, o
idcal and professionial re'putation. I
the face of' this statement of fact, whic
* is not denied, you saty that as soon
the testimony was redluced to writi
that a copy was furinished to theu r
gents "and that I hadt the tappoirttnil
asked!" hlow ? When? Where? I
my report to the board I stateu that
haud "access to somae eighty pages 5
matnuscript contamrinig portionis of II
testimony of some of those w itneuss
such as the legislative committece chia
to select, while, as I am informed, il
- larger portion of the testimony taku
during the investigatloon has not bet
furnished the, board, including whu
ever may havoeheen given by any of t)
witnesses tendling to excuIlpate mte iro
the charges." This has not been ai
cannot truthfully be denied. Such c
portunity as has been afforded me
very like the opportunity in other tim
accorded to the victim who stood
chains before the Spanish Inquisit.i
S and yet was anmetI traen nlloweto inpRe
Ihefore jtdgment; or more aptly like
that of the ctilprit condetnined unheard tI
liinder the tyrannical procedure of the Iv
itar Chamber of England. p
The inquiry now directed to me by %
your Excellency gives no assurance U
that the legisla ive committee will si
igain convene, will set aside the sen- a
,ence of condennation, will open the s
judgment against me, will try me anew it
with open (toors and without prejlidice, p
earing witnesses upon examination o
mnd cross-examination, aMewing me p
the olices of counsel and hoMting them- i
selves clear to the attainment of im
partial judguent.
The investigation under your guid- I
ice has heretofore proceeded wholly 1
in the spirit of fault finding before a t
Court which, for whatever purpose, in a
defiance of justice, and in breach of c
their faith, have prejudiced my case. 1
in view of all these circumstances, t
however anxious I may be to vindicate a
myself from the unjust and untruthful I
ceasures they have denounced against
tme, I am not willing to engage in such
trilling procedure before such a tribun
al, and it is left to me to submit to the
consequences which your letter in ad
vance threatens against me to invite
you in your own phrase "to perform
your duty" whatever it may be. That
as you intimate, this may be a disa
greeable duty is to mie the subject of
profound regret.
I have the honor to be very respect
ftilly your obedient servant.
P. -, G riflin, Superintendent.
Coi.1-imma, May 9, 1891.
Dr. 1'. E. G rillin, Columbia, S. C.-Sir:
I lind your letter of yesterday awaiting
me onl imy return from Pendleton. I
beg once more to impress on your mind
the following faCt. :
1. Tne ciotittee appointed by the
General Assembly were charged with
the duty not of investi4ating the su
perintendent of the Asylum but of the
iistit Itiont as a whole.
2. Their prelinimary report called to
my attention certain facts ii reference
to the management of the institution
upon which I alone as Governor have
the power to act, for I alone tinder the
Constitution aim given the power to ap
point its ollicers and employees, and
even the Legislat tre c,nnot remove
such persons as are thus appointed.
:. This being so, I alone am the judge
to decide wlhether the charges contained
in the report of the investigating com
mittee are trie and, ii so, what is my
duty. There is no need to bring the ini
vestigating cotmmittee back here to
hear . our defence, if yotu desire to mnake
any, for 1 can hear the testimiony of
your witnesses and have offered to ae
cord you the privilege of cross-exaini
nation of those witnesses who testilied
before the committee, and this can be
had ill public and with couilsel if you
wish it. The witnesses are all either in
the asylum or in the city, and the tcsti
mony already given by thei cal tie
read in their and your presence.
4. The examination by the commit
tee was made in secret to prevent col
lusion amiong witnesses an'14 to guard
against itimidation. All of the emIt
po3ees of the asylumt had been ap
pointed by yourself or the regents with
out color of' law, and many witnesses
testified uttwillingly, seeming to fear
the ILss of place.
5. All your line wr ting about "the
Spanish .Inquisition" ad( the "Star
Chamber of England" may appeal to
the s3 mpathy of certain people, but you
ire mistaken% when you say "the i-ives
tigation iunder your (iy) guiilance has
bejetofore proceeded (lonly in the spirit
of fault-linding before a Cotirt which,
for whatever puipose in defiance of jus
tice and in breach of their faith, have
prej udged my case in Court." In jtw
tice to investigating committee ani to
myself it must, be stated that we tried
to arrive at the exact truth and nothing
more. T1here has nIot been and is not
itow the least animus or pIersonal feeh
ing. The comimittee acting as a grandl
jury, have framed an indictmtent and
sent in the testiimoniy. i50thI were fturn
ished yotu andl 1 naturally exp)ected you
svot ask an opportunity to d ispr-ove
the charges, but instead you wrote a
labored defence add(ressedl to t he r
gent s, but initended solely to in Iitiuce
ptubbie op)ini on. 'Thle regents ha:] noth

I canl only rvgret, as things have

Co.u.i lI.k, May 18, 1891.
Dr. 1. E. (Grillin, Superintendent.
'oluimbia. S. C.-Sir: I have waited
atiently to see whether you woul
nake any reply to my letter of May
ItLI, or ask for a trial. None has come
nd I am forced to conclude that you di
iot wish such a trial. 1, therefore
vrite to ask that you send in your resig

ic Asyluim. Iespectfully,
i.. lt. Tillman, Governor.
'I'he toll owing is Dr. Grillin's reply:
OFFICE-:SOU1 CAnOL,INA LU:NATI:

Coixmm18.\, 1-. C., 'May 20th, 1I9.
l'o 1His Excellency', 1. It'. Tillian, Gov
rnior:
Siu: I have the honlor to acknowl
tdge the receipt of your letter of thi
L8th inst., in which you ask me to teil
.er my resignation of the office of Su
Ierintenlent of the South Carolina Li
itic Asylum.
This came to me while I was engage(
ill preparation of iny reply to your com
munication of the 9th inst., which hal
been ditly receiv ed. It contained no in
Limation of any public exigency requit
ing aiy espucial haste, while the urgen
indi extraoidinary demands upon ill
at the asylum during the Centelmi:
week made it impossible for me to giv
to this matter (ue and adetiuate con
sideration.
With this explanation I trust you
'xcellency will acquit me of .liay in
putation of discourtesy to you o1. c
aiy indifference to the statenents pr(
sented in your letter of the 9th inst.
reply in dttail to all the statement wi
be.only a reite ration of what has alread
been presenu ud to you and to the pul
lie, but there is one assertion to whic
I deiem it my dut.y to call special attei
tion. In see,on I of your letter it
stated that "all of the employes at th
asyluim had been appointud either I
yourself or by the Regents without cc
or of law."
Now, your Excellency must sure
know that section 1685 of the Gener
Statutes enacts that "The legents .
the Lunatic Asyluin shall form a bot
corporate in deed and in law, for all ti
pu rposes of the said institution, wit
all the powers incident to coporatioln
and that they are hereby atthoriA
and enpowered to make and establi.

have a copy. distinctly gives to the su
pel intelident the right to appUinLt a
to discharge, with the conselit of th
iegents,all employt-es and subordinat
officers, with the single exceptioni I
treasurer. I f it be t rue that under
strict construction of the Constitutic
all the otlicers and employees of t1
luatic asylum should ibe selected ar
appointed and subject to removal I
tRie Gloernor, at his own w-ill al
pleasure, it only furnishes another re
son why tile fnmdamental law tund
whlich we have been forced to live by
convientioni alien to the people shou
be reformied; for it is olut of the qum
tionl that this institution cani be su]
cessf ully conldluctedl by agencies ov
which the lioard of liegents and t.
superintendent have no conitrol.
InI your commlllunication 01 the~ i

I deemi it niecessary to consider. TI

repuly to this I bog to) repeat my der(t'
that M liine was plermnit.ted to have

In your letter requesting my resit

one by the Governor. The by-law
the Institution give the Regents
right to elect the Superint,ender

Board. The Constitution gives
Governor the power to ap)oint fill
perintendent "with the advice and

are the only two courts competei

After mature consideration of
whole matter I feel constrained tt

there are charges against me.
