BABCOGK TALKS AGAIN
Investigating Committor Continues
Its Hearings in Asylum Mutter?
Monday's Witnesses Spend Most of
Their Time in Amplifying Testimony
of Preceding Days.
Declarations of Capt. J. \V. Bunch,
nephew by marriage of Senator Tillman
and appointed by the latter in
1891 to his present position at tho
asylum, that friction between Dr. J.
W. Babcock and his subordinates of
the State Hospital for the Insane existed
before Governor Blease came
1 a - - *
imu umtf, ur me men appointed oy
him on the board of regents took
charge; that Fred II. Dominick daring
his service on the board was one
of the best presidents of the board of
regents he had ever known; denial
by Mrs. Bessie Sanders, formerly
Miss llessie Allen, who served as
stenographer at the asylum, that Mr.
Dominick ever made a remark derogatory
to I)r. Babcock or that ho had
said they were going to get rid of
Dr. Babcock, and corroboration of the
testimony of Governor Blease, given
Saturday, by Col. E. II. Aull, featured
the second session of the committee
probing into matters at the State
Hospital for ho Insane, which was
held Monday.
Tho grilling Dr. Babcock gave Col.
Aull concerning somo confidential
conversations they had directly after
the receipt by Dr. Babcock of Governor
Blease's letter demanding the
removal of Dr. Saunders excited interest.
Dr. Babcock, paying a high tribute
to tho friendly efforts of Col.
Aull to bring about peace and liar-J
mony, said that on tho night lie
showed the governor's letters to r.ol
Aull, they had some confidential conversation
concerning tlie letters, what
a certain party would jyiy for them,
and about some newspaper. Col. Aull
said ho recollected stating if the asylum
was to be made an issue, he pro.
posed for I)r. Babcock to run for
governor and ho would support him
in his paper, the Newberry Herald
and News.
Dr. Babcock kept insisting there
was something about a certain party
and what he would pay to get hold
of the letters, or something concerning
some big possiblo political effect,
apparently having to do with the fortunes
of some candidate. Col. Aull
couldn't recollect anything else, but
Dr. Babcock insisted there was another
statement which he said was
vital. On his starting to say something
Chairman Mauldin told him to
n.sk what questions he would and that
bo would be given another opportunity
to go on the stand and tell
what he wanted.
Again uovornor mease warned tlie
witnesses not to drag the names of
any of the female members of his
family into the matter, as tl^ey have
nothing to do with it. lie said whoever
dragged in their names ho would
hold personally responsible. As far
as concerned any confidential conversations
he had with either Dr. lhibcock
or Col. Aull, or anything he had
said or written about the asylum, ho
relieved them of the ban of confidence,
and told them to tell it all.
Another feature of the session was
the testimony of Col. Aull that the
asylum commission favored the retention
and development of State
park and the removal of the asylum
there, while Gov nor Dlease favored
the sale of that property and the retention
of the present property in the
city. This was brought out under
cross-examination by the governor.
The sessions of the committee were
resumed at 3:30 o'clock and the Supreme
court room was p eked to the
doors with spectators. There were
several ladies in the audience. Governor
Dlease, Assistant Attorney General
Dominick, Dr. and Mrs. ,1. W.
Babcock, Dr. R. D. Saunders, the lady
whose retention or dismissal appears
to have been the bone of contention
between Dr. Babcock and the majority
of the board of regents, sat inside
the rail.
Capt. J. W. Bunch was the first
witness, bis direct examination being
conducted by Mr. Stevenson, a member
of the investigating committee.
The captain, who is secretary of the
board of regents, identified certain
minutes of the board, especially concerning
the resolution to elect subordinates
for terms of tw* years, and
on the first of July last, he states,
ten places were filled, only three
changes being made. The minutes of
the board in executive session when
Drs. Babcock and Saunders were condemned,
and the subsequent resolutions
exonerating Dr. Saunders and
the closing of the incident by the
board, all of which has already been
printed, were related by the witness.
It Ana shown that Dr. J. II. Taylor,
a member of the board of regents,
stood squarely behind Dr. Babcock
and Dr. Saunders, and protested
against the action of the board. It
was brought out also that Solicitor
J. K. Henry, as attorney for Dr
Saunders, said he would appeal his
client's case to a higher tribunal, and

: ?
\fter Their Wedding Fortunate Youth
Saw Bride Only Once, on Her
Doattibed.
A tale, alive with many of the elements
of the dime novel, Is the story
of the past six months of the life of
Sylvanus Gray of Durham, N. C\!
About six months ago young Gray,
>\ho is about *21 years old, was employed
ns messenger boy by the Western
Union Telegraph company, lie
was dispatched with a telegram to be
delivered to Miss Lulu Johnson of!
Lynchburg, Ya., who was visiting in
West Durham.
\
Young Gray declares that the moment
his eyes fell upon Miss Johnson
ho knew that it was a case of
love at lirst sight. With the young
lady it was apparently the same; for
before the messenger boy had left
tho house they had arranged to get
married, although they had never
seen one another prior to that moment.
A few days later the young lady
drovo to West Durham from her
homo in an automobile, called Mr.
Gray up over tho telephone to meet
her, which he did, and they were
quietly married.
After riding round for several
hours in the machine Mrs. Gray bade
her husband keep tho affair a secret,
telling him that her people must not
find it out, and told him that she
must go back home, but would send
for him soon.
From that day Mr. Gray heard no
more from the young lady till he received
a telegram some live months
later slating that she was dying, and
bidding him to hasten to Lynchburg
immediately.
Since Mrs. Gray's death it has developed
that she was an heiress to
$200,000, the legacy of an uncle who
has sinco died. Through the will of
tho dead Mrs. dray all her property
reverts to her husband, tho former
messenger.
that the same statement was mado by
Dr. Habcoek to the board.
Governor Please cross-examined
Capt. Hunch, and the governor asked
him if there was any politics in bis
appointment by Governor Tillman to
succeed 11. P. Green, or if there was
any politics in the appointment 01
Dr. Habeock, rising to a question ot
personal privilege, stated that when
ho was appointed he did not know
Governor Tillman, and was working
outside of the State at tlie time.
Young Dr. Grifiln, son of the former
superintendent, and a member of the
medical staff at tho asylum, wanted
to make a statement, but Chairman
Mauldin told him ho would be given
a chance later to testify.
Capt. Bunch said Messrs. Oarout Iters,
hivens and Settlemcyer had tried
to put down the friction at the asylum,
and tho governor himself had
onco come out and addressed tlie
nurses and helped to avert a threatened
strike.
Col. John K. Anil, private secretary
to Governor Blease, said he had taken
tlio stenographic notes of the executive
session of tho regents when Covernor
Blease was present and the
members of the medical staff made
their charges against I)r. Saunders
for interfering with them. He, on the
consent of tho governor, agreed to
transcribe these notes for the committee
at tho earliest possible moment.
Mrs. Bessie A. Saunders, formerly
ographer at tho asylum from 1910
to January of this year, and in the
capacity of stenographer \va*k present
at the executive session of tho regents
referred to above, but she found it
took an expert to take the testimony
and Col. John K. Aull being present
in this capacity, sho burned her notes
after the session.
Mr. Dominick read the testimony
of Dr. Babcock on Saturday, which
was to the effect that he, Dr. Babcock
had heard that Mr. Dominick said in
the presence of Miss Allen that they
were going to get rid of him as soon
as possible. Mrs. Saunders said nc
such statement was made in hei
presence, nor had she ever heard Mr
/I lonnoa * lift mn au~
?- w ....... v, .. U10VII OO IMC ill<ll H I. out
said she did not tell any one that he
had. Dr. Saunders asked her if she
didn't recollect telling her and she
said she did not.
Col. E. H. A nil read a prepared
statement to the effect that his efforts
in the matter had been those ol
the peacemaker and to bring about
harmony in the asylum management
He corroborated (Jovernor Hleaso's
testimony Saturday. Dr. Babcock,
questioning the witness, emphasized

Saturday, wore forced from him by a

Anil said he had given it merely as
bis opinion in a conversation with Dr.
Babcock that the regents wanted to
get rid of him. He said he had nothing
on which to base this assertion,
that it was merely an opinion.

i
! Following is tho ofhcial stenoI
graphic report of the testimony given
Thursday by E. II. Aull of Newberry
before the legislative committee, investigating
the State Hospital for tDo
Insane:
Elbert II. Aull recalled: Mr. Chairman,
1 do not care to withhold anything
from the committee that is of
vital importance to the investigation.
I had a talk with Dr. Babcock and he
states that that remark which 1 made
which is of vital importance, was that
I said Tho Stato newspaper would
give him a good sum to get possession
of those letters and that if they
mio j?uuiioiiuu i'- y wuuiu ueieai
lUease for the Senate and elect Smith.
I do not consider it of vital importance,
but I recall that I did make
the remark.
I made another rofhark nnd that
was that at least ono of the letters
was a reflection upon Dr. Saunders
and if not it was at least very unfortunately
worded. 1 so stated to Gov.
Blease and ho stated that he did not
Intend to reflect upon Dr. Saunders.
That is all that 1 wanted to say. I
will state that I had a great many
conversations with Dr. llabeock. I
have been here onco a week on this
other work for at least two years
and I have seen him every time I have
been hero.
Mr. Stevenson: Colonel, there was
ono question that 1 wanted to ask
you. everybody took off thejieal of
confidential relation the other day as
to who it was doing tho talking in
the homo at Newberry, and I think
that it is proper that wo should know
who was doing tho talking at that
time. There seems to ho sr?mn uic
i pute about it.
Mr. A nil: Well, 1 think, Mr. Stevi
enson, tliat Gov. Bleaso is the proper
' man to do that. He ia the man that
' heard it and lie is a witness in this
case.
Q. Well, ho didn't state that, but
; he stated that you might tell what he
said about it. Now what I want to
know is the person doing the talking.
> A. I do not know who was doing
the talking. 11(3 only mentioned one
name as doing the talking and I
would rather lie would state who that
was. If lie wants to let it out, gentle
men, why, he can tell you.
1 Q. Well, you heard him state the
other day that you are at perfect liberty
to state what he told you about
! it.
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And it might or it might not
have any bearing on this investigation
?
Mr. Hardin: Mr. Stevenson, that
does not compell him to state it.
i Mr. A nil: 1 would rather not state
i it. Let Mr. Blease stato it if ho
i wants to.
i Dr. Babcock: Colonel, you refer>
red to conversations that wo had had
relative to the?your general interest
in the State hospital. I think from
your acquaintance with Dr. Saunders
r you had formed an opinion about her
i nK(m..o
(i i /1111 > ;
? Mr. Aull: Oh, Doctor, I havo said
absolutely, time and again, from
s what knowledge I gained of her, she
, is one of the most efllcient officials of
' tho institution.
Q. What about her relative value
5 to tho institution? A. What do you
mean by that? Compared with the
r others.
1 Q. Yes, sir. Within two weeks wo
> havo had such a conversation. A. I
1 have said this, that I thought a phy'
sician like Dr. Saunders, who is at
1 the institution all tho time, is worth
' as much as three or four physicians
who go in once a day.
Q. Did you name any^doctors? A.
' Take the ones in there now.
Q. In the conversation with me
5 you named several doctors. I would
! like to have the committee know the
names of the physicians.
' A. I do not know anything about
tho physicians. I do not know their
capacity. But I stated the general
; proposition that one physician, who
is there all the time is worth as much
1 to the Institution as three or four
> who arc going in once a day.
Q. You don't remember tho names
of the physicians with whom you
| compared Dr. Saunders? A. Well, I
did not mean t<f compare them or
their ability or.their efficiency as physicians,
because 1 do not know anything
about that.
Q. Hut you did make a comparison?
A. Yes, sir. I make it now.
That one physician who stays there
is worth as much as three or four
w no only come in, because she Is subject
to call 2 4 hours In the day.
Q. Let's come down to specific
cases. In your talk with me about
Dr. Saunders, her value to the institution.
naming Dr. Saunders, you
compared her with some others. Dr.

TRY TO KILL LIEUTENANT

Eight Stalwait Blue-Jackets.
An attempt wns made Wednesday
night to assassinate Iieut. Artliur 15.
Cook, fjag lieutenant to Rear Admiral
Mayo, of the United States battleship
Connecitcut. Lieut. Cook was
struck by a bullet and slightly wounded.
llis assailant \? as not seen. The
lientenant, accompuniei uy his wife
and Miss Ethel McKoazio, of Philadelphia,
had been dining with Admiral
Mayo aboard the flagcliip.
Returning to the landing place, the
party took an open carriage to drive
to the steamer Mr rro Castle, on which
Mrs. Cook and Miss Mclven/io were
to sail. The two v/)mon occupied the
roar seat. Lieut. Cook, conspicuous
in a full dress white uniform, sat facing
them. As tho party was proceeding
down Avenida de la Independencia
a sharp, but not loud, detonation
was heard, and Lieut. Cook felt a
shock on the left hip. which at the
time he did not associate with what
appeared to ho a shot.
On alighting at the wharf Lieut
Cook found a small object on the carriage
seat, which proved to he a bullet
of the typo used in pocket automatic
pistols. Investigation showed
tho bullet had inflicted a bruiso on
bis lilp. 15oth Mrs. Cook and Miss McKensic
were greatly agitated by tho
discovery of the bullet. Having seen
thorn to their state room, Lieut. Ccok
returned aboard the flagship and reported
the attack to the Admiral, who
Thursday morning communicated
with John Lind and the American
consul, W. W. Canada. They notified
(Jen. Miias, military commandant at
Vera Cruz without, however, making
any formal demand.
Mr. Lind later informed Gen. Maas
that the arrest of persons for assaulting
American officers of civilians is a
matter of small importance, compared
with the responsibility of the General
in connection with such incidents. It
is not believed the attack was a deliberate
plot, but the sudden act of
some desperado.
Recently quiet arrangements were
made to eecuro the personal safety of
Mr. Lind. Until a few days ago he
took long walks in the outlying country.
At the consulate no guard was
maintained, but signal boys were
^ brought from the fleet to act as messengers.
In consequence of secret information
reaching the consulate the
signal boys were replaced by eight
stalwart picked bluejackets, four of
whom are on duty day and night.
AT.. 1 i.. ,1 ...1 ' **
*1... ivinvi, wiiciiuvlt nt? leaves me
consulate now, is followed by a big
blue-jacket, who, although unarmed,
is within immediate striking distance.
Mr. Lind was opposed to these pre,
cautionary measures, but finally was
persuaded that conditions demanded
them. Tho United States battleships
Connecticut, Ohio and Minnesota
were to have sailed for Tampico, but
the order was rescinded anc^they will
await tho return of Admiral Fletcher.

Dr. Thompson. Yes, sir.
Q. That is all? A. I do not mean
by that to say that I know anything
about the efficiency of those four
physicians, because I do not.
Mr. Hardin: Upon what knowledge
of the affairs of the Insane asyi
lum do von predicate your opinion?
Mr. Aull: Not a thing. But 1
have had talks with superintendent?
of institutions where they expressed
i .. - - -
i mo same opinion. I do not know
that 1 stated anything about the effi
cicncy or competency of these physicians,
but I say as a general proposition
that any physician who is ori
duty 24 hours a day and subject tc
call is worth as much as three oi
four coming in once a day.
Q. You do not know anything
about the qualifications of any of the
physicians? A. No, sir; I do not pretend
