Mchre One; o the Wont, Ilu mane ef Iru. :' To the Editor of The bbeerver: i Some days 'since. I noticed k .com municatlon In yout paper signed, by Mr. W. A. Billing. -of Durham, pre- 5" - , ferring charges against tne manage ment of the Central Hospital for the . Insane, located at Ralegh. Dr. James ,VcKm being the-superintendent In charge. The unfortunate Insane of our Hut have had mT deepest sympathy , ever since I was old enough to realise ' and appreciate their lamentable oa tlou and 1 feel that an injury or In tuit to any of these .unfortunates, or their relatives. Is n Insult or Injury to th great Commonwealth of North, ; Carolina.- While I have known Dr. McKee. by reputation, for many years, and while I know him to be not only an eminent physician and alienist but ".' a most human man, still th com munication from Mr. Hilling was so direct and clear rut that 1 felt sure that the charges made therein must hare at least some foundation in fact. On this account, t awaited th reply of Dr. McKee' with much interest. ; Falling to observe any reply. I finally wrote him, called hia attention to Mr. Billings' letter and the charges therein contained, asked for his version of - th .matter.-and suggested that th facta b given to th public. In reply I received a moat courteous letter from th doctor, setting forth in detail all the Information In his possession and; enclosing copies of all - corree 'y? pondence between himself and th coroner f Johnaton county,' the rela tive of th Mr. Bllltnga who" waa 'formerly confined In his Institution, , and Governor Glenn, who has Inventl , gated this matter pursuant to th 'complaint made. .. . I have no desire to be a busybody or to Intermeddle with affairs which . ' ' do not concern me. But In thla In . stance I felt that this matter was on . of public concern and that th peo- pi f nr State should know whether or net th charges made against th management of the hospital could b . sustained, and bene I felt at liberty ,t tak the matter up, first, for my ewo nlformatlon, and secondly, to en ds vor to e to It that. If any wrong bad been done, th aain should b . remedied and that speedily. . Dr. Mc Km says that he has been much - pained on account of the complaints made, but that he had such an abhor . reno of a controversy In a newspaper that he preferred to euffer the In ; Justice which has been done him rather than go Into (he matter In , th public prints. I think, therefore, I am Justified in giving the conclusions , which I have reached after a careful - and painstaking effort to And th true ' facts In regard t th matter. This " 2 have tried to do Inparllally, I am : not a partisan of Dr. McKee. nor la thla written at his Instance, or auggea- tlon, but simply that the public may know what manner of treatment Is accorded to the unfortunates com mitted to the care of our pnbllo In sltutlons. In his communication. Mr. Billings makes four charges; Kirst, of dts ': . courtesy to th relative on the part . of th management of the hospital; . second, of misrepresentation. In that . ' the relatives were Informed that Oeorg E, Billings was In th Institu tion and doing well, whereas, as a ' matter, of fact, he had escaped prior '.-,' to that time; third, that th family ; were not notified of his escape; fourth, that bis family were not notl ; fled of bla death. I tak up these ' ' charges in their order. ' First, the charge of discourtesy. Tblf charge seems to originate tiorn ' ( letter written by Dr. MoKee to Mrs. Billings, the mother ef Oeorg , K. Billings, and from the allegatlona ' .', that th relatives were not permitted to see their kinsman. The facts In , .' this connection seems to be these: ' Mrs. Billings addresMed a letter to on V of th nurses employed in tne hospital ' snaking Inquiry In regard to the : whereabouts and condition of her son : and concluded by threatening an In- vettlgstlon In case a reply was not Immediately forthcoming. The ; Bars turned this letter over to Dr. McKee who replied promptly. I have ' v. road thla letter carefully and 1 ran '. not see how any charge of discourtesy .' on this account can be sustained. The ' - doctor simply called Mm. Billings' at ' tention to the fart that the rules did not allow nurses to carry on the offi cial correspondence and that he (Dr. :- : McKee) was the proper persoo to ad dress all communication upon mat ters relating to the hospital. Then . followed all the Information request . ed by Mrs. Hillings In hr letter to th nur. The other charg of discourtesy, , namely that the relatives were re - , fused permission lo see Ihelr kinsman t th hospital, may have some foun dation In fact but If so, Or. McKee fries been unable to discover it and th relatives have lent him no as. ,; eistance in so doing. I am advised that the rules require that all visitors met by sum, officer. This officer .' determines whether or not visitor ' allowed to pee th patient. If he think proper, and th patient be In proper condition, permission Is readily '. obtained. If audi he not tho rase, rm button la refused and the reason assigned. Upon complaint In the caso ' la eineatlnn, lr, McKee questioned .every officer at the Institution In re- Card to the matter, and none of them sn recall any application to see Mr. . ; Hilling at the time complained of, nd -all state emphatically that per- mission to se him was nut refused to .. anyone. Mr. Billings ha been Invlt--1 ' d to visit the hospital nd point out 'u th person refusing such permission. . It may be that permission waa rsfus , ed. but If so. Dr. McKee has been un , ebl to discover it. and 1 do not see . -, tiow be can be criticised la this be '. Iialf until the offender be pointed out .. so that be t given an opportunity to take action , in th premises. Of roars there are msny employes un der his control and direction and It Is matter of Impossibility fur Dr. Mc Kee to know all that they do. ir Is ' only upon complaint that . bo can eacertaln whether or hot the employes liave been derellot In the performance of their duty. Besides, ' i cannot Jmagln anr reason why any officer of the, Institution could have refused the relatives permission to see their fclnsman had he la surb condi tion that he con Id be seen. .If. he ere not, It will b. readily seen that tt waa the duty of the officer to refuse euch permission,' no matter ' how e'renously the relatives might Insist. 'I he welfare of the patients Is la the I and of th authorities of the Instl. luiion and they mast act as It aeeraa 1t lo them, I feel sure, also, that if tmimitipion bad been refused, the I I on would have been given. In - bnn- of any poof as to ; the ii'i-r, although abundant oppor ty has been given to point such I must say that , this 1 charge ' dieproven. , , l-i the second charge, that th -d a fiHT I'm rwitfs i,itt -it. th f.....,, j Inn pills, ! m or rip. re-nit re sure. i l lisrmarf. . relatives were Informed that ) thetr kliiKiiian was In the institution When, as matter of fact, he had escaped prior to that time: Dr. McKee advlaea me that he has- carefully questioned all officers of the Institution In regard to this charge, and each of them state that no such Information waa given to anyone.. Nona of them ran recall any visit paid to Mr. Oeorg e E Bllltnga after hia escape in August, 105. Mrs. Killing's ha been invited to visit the hospital and point out the officer or employe complained or. iav Ing faile'd to do so, I do not see how she or any of the other relatives can attach any blame to the management of the institution. It'may be that In efficient employes are employed at the institution, but some times tnia nap pens An many' other lines of activity and it Is only when the attention of he employer Is called to th deficiency that he la . able to take action . to remedy the faults complained of. Third, the charge - that Dr. McKee did not notify the relatives of -the eacapej This charge is true. Ur, Me Kee says that, when he first became connected with the hospital, he established the rule to notify relatives In rases of escape. He says that his experience haa caused him to abrogate thla role and that It has pot been nia custom of late years to give any notice to relatives of the escape of patient. He notifies the county au thorities; and takes every precaution to apprehend ' the escaped patlenta and to procure their return to the In stltutlon. His' experience Is that they are usually caught ' within the con fines of Wake county by persons who observe their peculiar behavior- and that they return such to tbe hospital. He further sara that when tne rel atives are notified of an escape, the notification producea such a condition of anxious solicitude on thetr part, amounting In some "cases to serious mental and phyatcal Injury, as to ren der It very questionable aa to wbetber any. good haa been accomplished by the .notification.'- In a large majority of case. In fact. In nearly every case, the relatives would not be able y render any assistance In the capture and return" of the escaped unfortu nate, and I can very readily see the effect that such notification would have upon well people, anxloua and solicitous relatives and friends, espe cially sensitive women. When It can accomplish no practical result, and when It-produces so oiucn injury ana so much anxiety to the relatives, I can see that It Is a debatable qnestlon as to what method to pursue, I frankly say 1 should deem It best In all cases that, relatives should be noti ced. I felt this from ths beginning and still feel so. But I can see how others may think otherwise and be perfectly honest In their opinions. I am satisfied that Dr. McKee did what he thought waa right In the premises and If he conmmltted an error It was of the head and not ef the heart. There could be no motive for hia act ing otherwise. It would not have put any burden upon him to addreas a let ter to the relative, giving notice of the escape. Upon . this charge I think Dr. McKee must e acquitted or any Intentional wrongdoing. If Indeed there has been any wrong none. iai- cal men do not view this matter as the average layman does. As to the fourth charge, that toe relatives were not notified of the death of George K. Billings: I have read carefully the correspondence between Dr. McKee and the coroner of John ston county, and I cannot see that there la any evidence that tne Dooy of the person found In the' wsters of Black creek with a grape vine tied around his hands wss that of George K. Bllllnc. Dr. McKee gave to tbe coroner all the facts In his possession and the description as given by the coroner, and that In the poeeeasion of the hosDltal authorities did not tally and there was nothing to lead them lo the belief that the body was that of George E. Billings. Under these clroumstances, I submit that It would have been most Inhuman and savage for Dr. McKee to have written the relatives that It waa supposed that their kinsman had been muroered. If there had been any evidence that the body was that of Mr. Bllllnga nia rel atives should have been notified, but In the absence of such I am satisfied that all wilt agree that Dr. McKee did right in not communicating the theory of murder or suicide to hia mother end other relatives. . The only thing that ever caused the body to be sup posed to be that of Billings was the ststement of the person whose body was aferwarda found that he was from Duplin county. Burely this wss not sufficient, or even a scintilla of evidence upon which to baae even a theory that the body was that of Billing. I feel satisfied that all thoae who are acquainted with Dr. McKee will agree that there la no more careful or humane man In all North Carolina; I feel satisfied In saying that all who know him will agree that he has done, and la going, all In his power to ame liorate the condition of the unfortu nate people under his care. II la a noble physician, engaged In a noJle work. HI Institution Is a large one and It is Impossible that mistakes of judgment, perhaps other mistakes, should not occur In Ha management. That he Is giving the best service pos sible and doing all In his power to rare for the Insane la ahown by the estimation In which ho la held by all who are acquainted with the great work which he la going. It Is eaay to bring charges against the manage ment of any Institution. There are those who are prepared to bring In their verdict upon the bare hearing of the chargea. The complaints against this Institution, as well aa those against all Our other public Institu tions, sre very few In number when considered In the light of th large number of persons confined therein. I have observed only two complaints sgelnat the hospital In question. At the time of th Nail Investigation, given such wide publicity by the press, the executive committee gave full notice, and Investigated at length. all charges brought against the man agement, and In tbe conclusion of the investigation eaeneraied most com pletely the officers la charge. Expert testimony established the fact that Nail died from natural cauaes. I feel sure that all visitors to the Institution will agree that the patients are well rared for, well fed and kept In the cleanest and moat sanitary condition possible and that all the loving tare and attention that Is possible to be ex tended them Is theirs. In conclusion, -1 am advised that the matter of the complaint made, by Mr, Hilling has been thoroughly In vestigated by Governor Glenn and. by the executive commute of th Insti tution who can find no Just cause of complaint. (lovernor Glenn suggests that In future all escapee be reported to relatives. ; This Dr. McKee will cheerfully do as he did formerly un til h wss persuaded, a a medical man, that It was not the beat thing to do In a large number of cases. The foregoing la written In defence of Dr. McKee but solely that the pubr llo may know the fact. I hesitated before undertaking to bring the mat ter to the attention of the public; but after considering the targe number of person, cltlsens of our State, who have relatives and friend In the In stitution In question, and knowing thst they might be disturbed by the charges brought against it, I felt that It we only right and proper, aa well at an act of Justkie to Dr. McKee. that the fact, as they are, should be made public Then, too, the good name ef our Institutions should be preserved where the facts justify It as such seem the case In this instance. ; K.'C.

McAteer wss discharged at the hearing before aiagisirate now at that time. Thia waa admitted by counsel for the de fense In the present case, but thev claimed that Wbltley had made the charge with good grounds for sus picion. A great deal of time was taken un in the. discussion of the medicinal qualities of the blttera A; negro named Crawford put the quiet us on that question by teatlfylng that; tney d make ou drunk all night fur he'd "done gut drunk on 'em." Then the counsel for the plaintiff began to lay great stress on .- Mr. - Whitley's mean tees, and drew a number of adi missions from that gentleman which certainly did show to be far from generous, though possessed of consid erable property. He admitted that, on one occasion when a neighbor complained of a negro woman's dog. he agreed If the neighbor would give him five rente to get the dog away from her he would do so. He we;.t to the negress, who lived some dla tance away," and got two cents which she owed him but failed to get the dog.. He also admitted that be had compelled a drummer who had found cent near hia atore to hand Over tne coin to him. He acknowledged, ton, that he had loaned . money c to his neighbors at to per cent interest, and had once 'offered the plaintiff,- Mc A , 11.50 to shuck 400 bushels of corn; but the .latter declined because It was too much (corn.) The negro Tom' Crawford., ale testified that Whitley secured a mortgage amount ing to til from him about the same time that Whitley was ma k leg tbe charge of larceny ' agalnat McAteur, by threatening to make a -charge agalnat him for the very name lar ceny, i Crawford said he was not guil ty but gave the mortgage to keep ut of trouble, Whitley promising t him immunity from prosecution and . he was . a poor tlgger and Whitley, a rich white man.

During the conversation that ensued. Powell threw up his hands, crying. "My God!

Mr. Little also stated to the Waxhaw con gregation that he had been aaaaulted by masked men on the public road at Llxht and the breath almost gnocxea out of him, and he believed that Pow ell was at th bottom of that also.
