NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, MARUH 6, 1875—WITH SUPPLEMENT, HOMES OF THE SICK. ———_ A Herald Investigation as to How Our Char- ity Patients are Treated. —_——— WHT THEY EAT AND WHERE ‘THEY SLEEP. fe ar Blackwell's Island, Bellevue and the Park * Hospitals Reported Upon. Porc DotA Roel THE LADIES’ CHARGES 100 IMPULSIVE. The public puise is always responsive to any allegation that might reveal a want of the kina- Nest care in tae public hospitals. Suck a want would exhibit human nature in a most deplorable aspect, and would give the lie to that progress of civilization so mucn boasted of When a charge is made against any institation in which the poor ana helpless sick are obliged to «well, it imstantly becomes a matter of important duty to investigate, and, if possible, to remove the giounds for the complaint, The sick are themselves helpless to do this, and reiatives and iriends of the inmates of charity hospitals are too poor and too powerless to make even an attempt for redress, Whatever reasons may have existed for accusations against the charity nospitals of this city and county in years Past, @ most careful examination has proved that at the present time the two principal institutions of this sort—namely, the Charity Hospital on Blackweil’s Islund and Bellevue Hospital in the city, are undeserving of censure for carelessness in the performance of prescribed Quties or jor negiect in seeking to make the hos- pitais more and more fitted for their humane and necessary purpose. For a suort time past rumors and comments have been in circulation relative to alleged gross abuses in these two hospitais, and these were resting upon distinct and author. {tatively pronounced allegations, which had been made by the ladies who compose what 1s known as the “Visiting Committee for Bellevue and other public hospitals.” It is admitted by all who have become aware of the good In‘entiens and the exertions of these ladies that they mean well, but in tne face of such @ one-sided statement as tnat which has been issued by them as their third aAnnaai report, it becomes very injudicious to piace too much credence upon opinions and in- ferences which are really @ Wis as to what might be or might not be, and a report of what is actually the fact. Representatives of the HenaLp yesterday Visited the Charity and Bellevue hospi- tals, seeing for themselves the condition in which these imstitutions were, and it must be aumitted that the allegations made Jn the ladies’ report were found to be without foundation tn any essential particular, and that both the hospitals presented an appearance highly creditable tu the medical gentiemen under waose control they are placed. Evidence was also afforded which would acem to disprove the charges so often made that the Commissioners of Charities and Correction have been for the most part niggarcly in meeting the requisitions made upon .hem for medical sup- Plies. CHARITY HOSPITAL, BLACKWELL'S ISLAND. The reporter who visited the Cuarity Hospital soon found Dr. Kitchen, the gentieman In charge pf the medical staff of the hospitals on the island, The object of the visit having been explained the Doctor repued by saving he would afford every facility to the HERALD to Make an fuvestigation, He said he had read the third annnai report of the Ladies’ Visiting Committee, and knew all the alle- gations. While he prouounced the report to be uptrue so jar as the charges against the Charity Hospital were concerned, tie admitted that these visiting ladies were very earnest in their efforts to do good, and might to some extent, as they nad wiready done, heip in improving tne general con- dition of the hospita The reporter was then taken to the office in which the recoras of suppiles are kept and the following information was received:—Within a period o! two years there Was no soap in the hos- pital during (Wo Weeks and three days, But dur- Ing these seventeen dayswashing was doue the same as usual, the Washing Duid. of wich there Was an avandant supply on band, serving every porpose.

THE JUROR’S ILLNESS. Speculations as to the Witnesses Yet to Appear. Beecher stock begins to loom up, 1t was a bad | Investment last week, but it has appreciated within the past few day Tracy’s speech was a | poor affair to hear. Tracy 18 no orator as Brutus | was. His voice is better suited for an auctioncer | or for a preacher to a congregation of lotos eaters. | } | The only thing that makes him impressive 18 his | buik and his double breasted coat, wnicn 1s con- | trived to give hima military tront and bearing, which greatly impose on the imagination. | But ‘Tracy managed to construct a very | strong and ingenious speech, every line | of which will bear reading. The perora- tion 18 suspected to be the dictation of | Henry Ward Heecher himself, Vocaliy Tracy was | acomplete faliure, He emptied the court room | and drove the jury close tothe ragged edge of | wavering reason. Hut Tracy made his impression outside o1 the court room, though the aim of most lawyers is to produce tue effect within, The jury, however numerous the barriers thrown around them to keep cat the influence of public opinion, Will jee! that influence nevertheless. 1t will reach | them 8 surely as the air they breathe, and if Tracy tailed to impress them, the pudiic sentiment | createa by his extraordinary speech, which was | | not an opening in the regular sense, but a plea, | | an argument and an opening all in one, mast re- | | act upon their minds, WHAT HELPED BEECHER STOCK. Tracy’s speech was one Of the causes that pro- | | moted Beccner stock. Another was a certain | Sense of growing averston to the curious charac- | ter of the plaintiff, as revealed in his own long | story, or rather autobiography, so full of alien | | concetts, whimstcalities of thought and action | | and go lacking in popular elements, Another and greater cause was the testimony of Mrs. Oving- | | ton, the best witness who has yet occupied the | stand. Her husband on Monday made but an in- different witness. He jelt, what was very evident, @ nataral embarrassment of manner; he halted in his answers, corrected and recorrected himself, and left on the minds of superficial hearers the impression that he was an evasive | and prevaricating witness, His unpreposses- | sing style, his defectiveness of memory | ana his hesitancy were readily canght | at by the plaintiffs iriends as proof of conscious weakness In the case of the delence. As he hap- | pened to be the first witness on that side he came | under closer scrutiny, and his involved answers | under cross-examination gave the plaintiff's side a@ hope that he would break down utterly. To un- | prejudiced hearers, however, the witness ap- | peared a just witness, overexact in his replies, | | and with a mind abstracted by thoughts of other things, of bis business and its requirements, haps Mrs. Ovington was A SUPER-EXCELLENT WITNESS the second day of her production, She took with the audience; and if the looks Oo! the jury were any index of their thoughts she also took with them. This lady spoke with a julness of detail that left | Per- nothing to be desired. Her voice and man- | ner were greatly in her favor, as they carried with them @ sense of earnest and truthful narration, Taken 4s a@ whole Mrs. Ovington’s evidence was favorable to the de- jence, yet not without support for the plaintiff. On the latver’s benall it was made evident in the cross-examination that Mrs. Viton was under a certain degree of espionage from seecter’s adhe- rents; that influences Were brougut to bear upon. ner to speak up for tue pastor of Plymouth chureh, | and that she did so, The conversation that Mrs. ‘ton had with Mrs. Ovington when tne latter detailed to her be words of her husband in Speaking of his wile asa trump, and as une who | would tel any number of lies tor his sake, and as having mace a statement to the Piymouth church committee which was all fetion, | did bot transpire, being ruied out by the Judge, | It was intumate., however, by the deicndaut’s | counsel that Mrs. Tilton denied earnestly to Mrs. Ovington that her statement was fiction, and here again the giaring injustice of denying Mrs, ‘Tilton an opportunity to open her mouth in Cour made itsejt felt, While no suspicion was enter | tained toit Mrs, Ovington told otuer than the | precise truth, no doubt existed but that her teel- ings were enlisted ou behaif of the deience. NOT PROVEN. | So far the Scoten verdict of “not proven” would | | apply to the case. Ihe defence nas sixty wit- nesses still to produce, and the puases of the | trial are not yet exnausted. One purpose of tue deience is very apparent, that Is to prejudice the character of the plaintiff, The evidence | ot Mr. Holmes, who saw a lady other than his wile | in the room of a hotei at Winsted with Theodore | Tilton, the latter bemg purtly undressed and | | stretched upon a bed, was clearly irregular.
