Mex, January | 18.—Possibility of Federal charges of | violation of the Harrison anti-narcotic fct today faced officials of the New Mexico Girls' Welfare Home here in gonnection with the death Sunday of iss Helen Haskew, 18, an inmate, fol- wing an injection of twilight sleep. | Announcement already has been made | by District Attorney Eugene Lujen that manslaughter charges will be filed to- day against Bertha Lips, superintendent of the home, and Dr. Evelyn Frisbie, | medical adviser, who were held responsi- | ble for the death by a coroner's jury. When a joint committee of the State Legislature, headed by Gov. R. C. Dii- lon, yesterday began an official investi- gation of the death and conditions at | the home, J. C. Pieper, Federal opera- tive, announced he was following the | evidence closely to determine if those in charge had violated Federal ‘anti-| narcotic laws in using the drug as a| sedative. . He asked permission of the legislative committee to question girl inmates and officials of the home. The coroner’s in- vestigation of the death revealed that Miss Haskew and five other girls had been given the drug last Saturday night when they created a disturbance in pro- test to solitary confinement and bread- and-water diet which was their punish- ment for escaping from the home. Miss Lips testified before the legisla- tors that about 20 injections of twilight sleep had been given various inmates of the home since she had been in charge. She became superintendent in Novem- ber, 1926.
