While members of the board will make no official statements It appears Superin tendent Alden will not come in for much censure for his conduct of the Institution. Whether the board will recommend that Alden and Nicholson get out of the Insti tution la another question. The stories of the witnesses have been so conflicting that it Is a question of veracity and some mem bers of the board are Inclined to believe there has been no more 111 treatment of Inmater, at the Norfolk asylum than at any other Institution of the same character anywhere.
