The assignee of Gelpcke, Kentjen & Rechfelt did not qualify, and the trustees, Jessup and Hertzfeld, were appointed in his stead Among the assets was a claim for $278,000 against the city of Dubuque, and this Jessup obtained an order to compromise for twenty. ve cents on the dollar, The creditors and Hertzfeld raised an objection at Special Term to the part of Jessup's accounts relating to this claim, as it was com- promised without notice to them ; but the objection was overruled and the acconnts passed. The Supreme Court, General Term, on appeal, has reversed this ordery and sent the matter to a roferce to inquire if the settle- ment was a proper one, the Court holding that Hertz- feld and the creditors should have been notified, Emma B. Brace and others commenced a suit against Thomas M. Wyatt and others to recover damages whieh the plaintiffs allege they have bocn subjected to by means of a fraudulent combination and conspiracy to divest them of their title and interest in a piece of real estate in this city. The defendants are charged as parties to the conspiracy, and by means of it the plain- tiffs aver that the real estate waa sold upon an execu- tion issued to collect $98 13, But_ plaintiffs recovered title on an action in the Superior Court, and had also jo defend an action to foreclose « mortgage, by which the premises had been encumbered. The present action is to recover oxpenses of these actions, Motion was made in the Supreme Court to vacate an order of arrest against defendants or reduce bai!, This was de- nied. Apt was taken, and the General Term decides, through Judge Davis, that the plaintif™'s were not bound ‘to unite their ary suit in the Superior Court with the present one and the order below is sustained. ACTION AGAINST AN EXECUTOR. Under a law authorizing creditors of a corporate com- pany to bring an action against its trustoos if they neg. lect to file every year a statement of the company’s | affairs, the Bank of California sued George C. Collins and others, trustees of tho La Abra Silver Mining Company, a corporation created under the laws of this Btate, Mr, Collins died pending suit, and an order was obtained at Special Term of Supreme Court severing the action so that his executors might be sued. An appeal was taken from that order to General Term, and the latter Court, Judge Brady writing the opinion, reverses the order below, on the ground that this action is penal and punitive and not countenanced by the provisions of i statute authorizing suits to survive @ party’s leccase, STOCKJOBBING CONTRACTS, William F, Livermore made a contract with Cornelius Bushnell and others to sell and buy stock of the Alpine Gold Company of California, whenever and at whatever price in his judgment would be best for the interests of those parties, their object being, as alleged, to put the stock upon the market at something near its real value, Livermore was obliged to suc for compensation for his services, and he recovered in the lower Court; but Bushnell appealed to the General Term of the Supreme Court, and that Court reverses the judgment below. Judge Daniels in the opinion says:—'The substance of it was that he (the plaintiff) should so deal in the stock by sales and purchases as to inflate its market value, and 60 lead people to buy it at a price profitable to the ownerg, under the belief that it was more than ought to be actually paid for it. It was a fraud upon the public which the law will not sanction by enforcing.” WELLS, FARGO & CO.’S AFFAIRS. The trustees of Wells, Fargo & Co. were sued by Ann K. Wilson, who applied for a receiver of the undistributed assets and an accounting by the trustees, In 1873 an order to that effect was given, and Ashbel H. Barney, bne of the defendants in the action, was appointed re- ceiver, It appears that previous to this a suit had been tommenced in Albany county by John McCardel, a stock- holder, for a receiver, on account of alleged frauds and breaches of duty by the trustees, and when the case was tried McCardel got judgment in his favor. He then applied for 4 receiver on the ground that Barney was not properly appointed, that his appointment was cofusive and that he might bo Ilable as one of the trustees. The Court ordered a referen Barney was reported unfit and A. V. De Witt was 4} re inted, whereupon Barney applied to the Special Term of the Supreme Court in this city for an injunction against De Witt, The injunction was refused, Barney's last. movement was an appeal to the General Term, and that Court has sustained the ruling of the Special Term.

DELINQUENT POLICEMEN. TRIALS AT HEADQUARTERS OF SOME OF THE FINEST FORCE—TRIBULATIONS OF CITIZENS— CAPTAIN ULLMAN’S CASE--THE NOVEL, SEARCH WARRANT AND THE LAW OF THE CLUB, The trial room at Police Headquarters was well filled | yesterday with spectators and delinquent policemen, the former attracted by curtosity and the latter called there to answer the various charges proforred against them by citizens, Tho first caso called was that of Captain Ullman, of the Tenth precinct, who was charged with noglect of | duty in failing to discover and break up a gambling | don at No. 105 Bowery. Tho charge was preferred by given by | ths Board | the Superintendent, under instructions from the Com- missioners, to whose knowledge tho existence of the place had come in the Jatter part of June last. Tho | house was promptly broken up at that time by the ordor The | of the Board, aud the failure of Captain Ullman to make the raid from his own knowledge was the cause of his arraignment. The first witness testifying was one of the officers who effected the descent, who stated that on the night of June 26 he raided the gambling house No. 105 Bow- ery, and found therein several persons engaged In playing faro; they were all arrested and taken to court, and the gambling utonsils were disposed of according to Jaw. The defendant next took the stand and ewore:— Am captain of the Tenth precinct; in the month of April last I discovered that gambling was going on at No, 105 Bowery, and with a posse of men I madoa descent upon the place and arrested ali the players; from that time until about the 20th of June the place ‘was vacant; I repeatedly gave my men special instruc. tions about watching it, lest the gamblers should again attempt to start @ game; have myself frequently gone there since the Aprfl raid, and always found the promises untonanted; the policemen whom I detailed to keep a watch on the place were men both in uniform and citizen's dress; « few days before the June raid was made I learned that some parties had ronted the place, and i at once put men ov the lookout for their purposes, but failed to detect anything of a eus- picious character with relation to them; am positive that tho rooms were anoccupied from April antil near the end of June; have inquired of the landlord, who corroborated my ‘belief in this respect Jobn Ryan, the landlord of the prémises above mon- toned, testified to the fact that the premises No. 106 Bowery had remained untenanted from the time of the raid, th April, until the latter part of June, when a cou. ple ‘of young gentlemen hired it, giving him to under. stad that it was to be used as a club room for political prteporcs; tho witness occupied the upper part of the use; had been iv the alleged gambling apartments keveral times while tenanted, but never noticed any- thing suspicious; could not play faro himseif and knew nothing about the furniture requisite for the game. Sergeant Doyle, of the Tenth precinct, next took the stand, and underwent a rigid and prolonged examina- tion at the hands of the Commissioner, Westiimony | he refused to leave the house and struck me on the | and’in doing so he put the wheel starboard; the wheel he had*never seen to his knowledge but two of that calling, viz,, George McCloud and California Charlie, and these worthies he knew as gamblers only by hanitg. been informed of the fact by a citizen; the witness received orders from Captain Ullman to keep a strict watch on the premises No, 105 Bowery, ond he had obeyed; ¢ occasion he entered the place and found the rooms devoid of everything except a féw chairs led in the corner; was satisied that no gambling had ‘n carried on there during the month of May. After hearing the evidence of three othey witnesses, whose testimony neither added to nor detracted substantially from the above, the Board adjourned the case until next Monday at ten A. M. OTHER POLICE TRIALS The cases of Officers Mulvey and Finnerty, of the First precinct, now under indictment for the alleged outrage upon the two poor servant girls on the Battery, were called up, but Counsellor William F, Howe, ap- pearing for the defendants, asked an adjournment on the ground that any action by the Board at the present time would be a prejudgment of the decision of the Court before which the officers were to be soon ar- raigned. The cases wero then adjourned for two weeks, the defendants in the meantime to remain sus- pended trom duty without pay. Patrolman Michael Sullivan, of the Thirty-third pre- cinct, was next called upon to defend himself against a serious charge preferred by Robert Sauvan, residing on Grove avenue, near 163d street. The complaint set forth that Sullivan, at about three o'clock on the morn- ing of July 20, foreibly entered the house of Sauvan while tn @ state of intoxication, and, on being ordered out, beat and abused Sauvan and applied coarse and obscene epithets to Sauvan’s wifo, The complainant took the stand and swore:—I was awakened at about three o'clock A. M., July 20, by a loud and continued knocking at my front door; went to the window and saw Officer Sullivan; he demanded ad- mittance, saying he bad a search warrant fo search my house for his wife, whom, he claimed, was inside ; I denied her being in my house and ordered him away; the loud knocking continuing I went down stairs and opened the door sufficiently to see his warrant, which I demanded before I would admit him; he pushed in the door, and, exbibiting bis shield, sud that was his warrant; arm more than once; his breath smelled strongly of liquor; not being able to eject him I went for another officer to arrest him; met one, who came with mo to hg eg and Sullivan went away with him, rs, Sanvan, the wife of the above witness, corrob- orated in every respect the testimony of her husband. The defendant's wifo was not in her house on the night in question; she sometimes came there because of ditli- culties she had at her own house with her husband. Sullivan took the stand in his own defence, and swore that he was off duty when the occurrence took place; was not intoxicated; rapped gently at the door of Sauvan’s house and demanded that his wife should come home; she was frequently harbored there; used no vio- lence,’ made no threats and called no names, Decision was reserved, Officer William F, Kehoe, of the Fourth precinct, next | advanced to the front to face the music, This guardian of the peace was accused of maliciously upsetting a painter's platform and throwing therefrom to the ground one Peter Miller, who was painting an awning, and while the’ said Miller was pros: trate "clubbing im most grievously. According | to the testimony it appears that Miller was standing painting ona shaky contrivance consisting of a board resting on two stepladders, which improvised | platform blocked up the sidewalk and impeded travel. | The officer ordered him to remove the obstruction, on | the ground that he was violating a corporation ordi- nance, bnt Miller refused to obey. The oflicer there- | upon caught him by the leg, in doing which the frame- work tumbled and Miller fell to the sidewalk. From the testimony of several witnesses it appears that Miller then struck the officer over the head with a paint brush, wheroupon the policeman brought down his cudgel with considerable force on the cranium of Miller inflicting wounds which compelled the latter's removal to the hospital The case was reforred for decision to the full Board. A number of other cases were tried, but none of any importance. THE COLLIDING STEAMBOATS. FURTHER TESTIMONY AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE BETWEEN THE STEAMERS NORTH- FIELD AND TWILIGHT—WHAT PASSENGERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT. Tho investigation commenced on Wednesday, before United States Steamboat Inspectors Matthews and Simonson, to ascertain the cause of the recent collision between the Staten Island ferryboat and the steamer Twilight, was resumed at their offices, in Pine street, yesterday morning. John J. Silva, deck band on the steamer Northfield, was the first witness examined. He said:—We left Whitehall slip at half-past nine A. M., August 15; I was in the wheelhouse of the Northfield acting as wheels- man; after wo got out of the East River and alittle be- low Governor's Island the Captain happened to turn around in the pilot honse and saw the Twilight; I saw | the Twilight coming about two and a half lengths astern | of uson the starboard quarter; sho kept gaining on us until about at oar forward starboard quarter; she kept closing in to us; we kept sheering to the eastward; after we had been tn that position for some minutes the Twi- light blew one whistle; the Northfleld answered with two whistles; we still kept sheering to eastward; the ‘Twilight was following us and gave us one whistle; the Northfield slowed and put her wheel to starboard; we then stopped the Northfield, and looking out of our window I saw the wheel of the Twilight was put to star- board and cross our bow and in crossing our bow sho struck us and broke her port afterrail; after that she went ahead of us; I noticed that her rudder was on the port side; when the Twilight blew the second whistle the Northfield answered by one. THE NORTHFIELD WAS THE LEADING BOAT Just prior to the collision, and all the time wo tried to keep clear but could not do 80; there was nothing in the way to prevent the boats from keeping further apart unless she (tho Northfield) would ran ashore, wo were so crowded by the Twilight; we could have stopped and backed before going ashore; T cannot say how far exactly we were from shore. Q What would be the result of the Twilight having her wheel to starboard when the Northfield was drop- ng abaft her wheelhouse? A. It would throw the ‘wilight’s stern across the bow of the Northfield; when the boats were abreast the Northfield had slowed down and she was not going at the samo rate of speed as the other boat; !t would take a fow seconds to drop batt her wheel after we had slowed down; | saw them star- board the wheel after we rung the gong to slow; | have stated ali signals 1 heard from both boats; at times the two steamers were some twelve or fifteen’ feet apart; I have been boating, off and on, three or four years, James Kerrigan, of No. 8 Monroc street, a passenger on the Northfield, testified that when his attention was first drawn to the Twilight she was about two lengths astern, a little to starboard; this was off Governor's Isl- and; witness was leaning on the rail ,of the after star- board quarter of the Northfield; at the time the Twi- light was at Bedloe’s Island she was abreast of the | Northfield, very close on her starboard side; she kept crowding the Northfeld to Robbins’ Reef, so the North: | have ever been dishonorably associated with any lady. | pious have no regard for the honor they may attach to field put her helm to starboard and bore for Long Isi- and; witness noticed that every time the Northfleld would starboard her helm the Twilight would follow her; finally the Captain of the Northileld had to stop, of the other boat was also put to starboard; she went by and touched the Northfield’s starboard bow with her port after quarter; they then separated; witness was forward when they came close together; he was go situ- ated that he could see the land through the Northfield, and he could see her VARYING TO THE LONG ISLAND BHORR; wher he was forward he could see what thoy were | doing at the Twilight's wheel, Witness further testi- fled that he heard the Northfield and Twilight blow their whistles; the one from tho Northfield was first; he was on tho after part of the maindeck, on the starboard quarter, and he saw the engineer of the Twilight “trippiog” his engine; the boats were then side by side. J. W. Wilbur, of No. 51 East Ninth streot, also a pas- senger on the Northfield, was next examined. He stated that he saw the Twilight coming around the Battery, and watched her coming up with the North- field when the two boats were almost even, so that the | port wheel of the Twilight was taking the’ wake from the starboard wheel ot the Northticid; the Twilight whistled and was answered by the Northfield; tho Twilight seemed to witness to be crowding the Northiicld out of her course toward Staten Island; the whistle was blown again from the Twilight and an- swered by the Northiletd; the Northfield subsequontly slowed down and the Twilight passed her bow, striking the Northfiekt and taking off part of the handrail; the reason the witness thought the Twilight was CROWDING THE NORTHFIRLD: was that be had an object in range on land, and he also | saw the wake of the Northfield; they had ‘not reached | the first landing when the collision took place. Francis J. Kane, Whitehall boatman and passenger _ on steamer Northtield, testified that he bad his atten- tion first called 10 the matter by seeing the Twilight | coming down, about one and a half or two lengths | astern, between Bedloo’s and Governor's islands; we | were on our course, he said, for Quarantine Landing; | the Twilight kept bearing down on us until ebo got on | our starboard beam; the distance between the two boats | was not more than fifteen or ten foet; I noticed the | Northfield starboard her helm on three different oc- | casions, and Was running off to the eastward, trying wo | Ret clear of the Twilight; on th@ different occasions the | Wilight starboarded the helm and kept crowding tho | Northfield further out of her course; when about off | Robbins’ Roef Light the Twilight blew’ one whistio and the Northiield blew two whistles; shortly after the | Northfielt rang one bell, and immediately after | rang another to stop the engine, and at the | time of the collision the engine of the Northfield | was stopped altogether; | took notice that the Twi light's rudder was to the starbourd; I left the Northfield | in my boat at this point and I should judgo the: course | of the Northfield was west by south to Tompkinsville | I judged the alteration of the course of the Northfeld by a range on land; I could see the rudder of the Twi- | light; the stern of the Twilght was ahead of the North- field’s stern; this wax when i THR NORTHFIELD STOPPED; | the Twilight was not ahead of the Northfield previous to that; the Twilight had to haul a half to one point to | south to get on her course; this was aftor the boats clear of one another and the Northileld was going to her landing; when the first whistle was blown the boats | ber with the idea that she was in prison. t | tion of mind Mrs. Lincoln may have Been in A PASTORAL LOTHARIO. | HIS CONFESSION—HE SPECULATES—SHE WAS A CHRISTIAN AND A PERFECT ANGEL—NO EVIL ‘WAS MEANT, BUT PLENTY WAS DONE. ‘The Rev. T. Mf. Dawson, of San Francisco, formerly pastor of a Presbyterian church at Brooklyn, Cal., makes a statement, Ho has sent a letter tothe San Francisco Chronicle, in which he apologizes to the world for his evil deeds, and does not propose to put up duck tent. He says:— A CONFESSION BEFORE THE WORLD. Three years ago a wife, to whom I was devoted. left me under the evil influence of others, and after exhaust- ing every effort and persuasion in vain to secure her re- turn to ine I applied for a divorce, and Daniel W. Poor, D_D., was one of the principal ‘witnesses on whose testimony it was obtained. Five monthsafter | applied for a divorce my precious child came to her death by an accident while in charge of her mother. 1 was heart- broken and soul-desolate, for she was all that I had on | earth, And while in this condition of distress and solitude I met a young lady who sympathized deeply with me in my affliction. My heart was naturally drawn toward her, for she apy ed to me to be all that the heart of any man could desire. A LOVABLE MAIDES, She was beautiful; she was a Christian; she was well educated, modest, amiable, kind and affectionate, and she had a heart which beat respovsive to my own, And without any premeditation on my part, and before I knew it, I found her presence quite essential to my happiness; and seven months after my application for a divorce, and when I kuew T'was sure to have it soon, 1 told the young lady of my love and found it recipro- cated. In this I erred, no doubt, and should bavo waited till entirely fi But ministers are men and love is blind, and expecially when the object of it is such a perfect angel as this young lady seemed to mo to be. But any man who will dare tosay I had any evil intent in going with this young lady is a black- hearted villain, My love for her was as pare and true as ever filled an angel’s heart, and I idolized and wor- shipped her, and was willing to give my life for her. AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ERROR, With this feeling toward her, which was fully re- ciprocated, I was not as circumspect as I should have been, in that I should have waited till I could honor- ably address her. Still, as no evil was meant, and it was my fixed purpose to marry her, I could not deem myself guilty of any crime. And I denounce as a dirty .dog any one who Would dare to cast any evil reflections ‘upon our intercourse with each ophor. And no man dure to insinuate any evil against her in my pres- ence—or anywhere eise if I know it—and get away what he was before, And I here challonge and defy the whole world to produce a single instance in which I Never in my life was I in company with any woman of questionable character, and never did iny form darken the door of a house of il! repute, even out of curiosity. A TREACHEROUS “MUTUAL PRIEND.”? But at length our love was revealed; an explosion oc- curred, and [ have never heard from the young lady since, though | made honorable proposals of marriage through a proper channel of communication, In the agony which followed the discovery I went to a female acquaintance—an instructor in one of the principal | female seminaries on this coast, who had once, while a married woman, been desperately in love herself with a young man who did not reciprocate her ardor, or there might have been an clopement. One would have thought she would have been charitable toward those ina similar condition. 1 was wont to go to her as a mother. I confided to her my story and sought sym- pathy and advice. She professed to give both, and I tried to follow her instructions implicitly. She was a mutual friend, and through her letters were destroyed, and to her letters were written, And now, like most “matual friends,” she has betrayed her’ trust, and handed over these letters to the Presbytery to see if something wrong may not be found within them. A word, a look, Needs but a foul interpretation To change the simplest language into shame, AN APPARENT DIGRESSION, BUT IMPORTANT. This course seems to have been pursued to gratify a personal pique against me for haying revealed the in- justice which she caused me to do a year ago in award- ing a prize, which I had given according to the merit of an essay, to another, whose cssay, in my judgment, was not of equal merit, while acting as the Committee of Award. For this partiality and injustice to the ono who ought to have had the prize my conscience con- demned me, and I revealed the fact to two or three members of the class soon after. But for this dreadful offence of corresponding with a lady who was pledged | to marry mo some scandaimongers are anxious to have | me before the Presbytery. And sol wrote to one of | the members of that body, a few days since, a letter, which I incorporate here, and which I should regret to have written if severe maladies did not require severe remedies, A SHOCKING STORY OF A BROTHER CLERGYMAN, To shield this young lady from being dragged before the public I was’ willing to give up the Presbyterian ministry, in which I had tolled diligently and not alto- gether unsuccessfully the past ten years; and this sacri- lice, with all others that I have made in view of the un- fortunate circumstances in which I have been involved, ought to satisfy any decent body of men, without trying to carry desolation to the hearts and homes of those who may prove their helpless victims. And especially ought this to have satisfied one of my bitterest persecu- tors, who has himself been caught alone in his study at nine o'clock at night in paroxysmal contact with a young lady atthe same time that he hada wife and young child in another part of the house. STEALING THE “LIVERY OF HKAVE! Now, Iam not denouncing ministers asaclass, 1 have the highest respect for them and their work, as a body of upright and honorable men, But from this statement it will appear that neither the Church nor the ministry are free of hypocrites who use the “livery of heaven to serve tho devil in,” and that a man should be choice of his acquaintances among all classes of so- ciety. It will also appear that some ol the protessedly their words or actions; that some of them aro ready to combine to screen a villain, if he is thought to have the best show of carrying his case, and to crush the one thought to be most helpless. Christian honor and truth and charitableness onght to be of a higher quality than that of the world, but it often sinks below it, INTERVIEW WITH MRS. LINCOLN. A representative of the Chicago Times, in quest of scientific facts by means of personal observation, visited the institution of Dr. Patterson, at Batavia, and | while there was introduced to Mrs. Lincoln by a mutual | friend, who happened to be there at the same time, not as a newspaper man, but asa gentleman who knew her } history and who took a friendly interest in all that per- tained to her welfare. ‘The lady appeared in very good spirits, and her mind was clear and sprightly. After some preliminary con- versation she invited the gentleman to her room to ob- tain a view of the pastoral landscape from that source, and to pursue the interesting conversation als ready begun. This opportunity, which had thus been presented by circumstances, was improved by the gentleman of the press,’ to discover the exact condition of her mind, so far as he was able to do so, by drawing her into conversation on all possible topics in which he deemed her to have been interested, either pleasantly or painfully, during her life. If there were any weak points in her mind he was determined to find out what they were. If she were brooding over any circumstance of her sad life he was bent on finding out what it was, Her visit to Lon- don was alluded to and thoroughly discussed, Little and HENDERSON & COLVILLE’S ENGLISH COMIC OPERA COMPANY.

Tad was with her thero, and she alluded to the child, now dead, but whose memory is very dear to her, with | all the warmth and affection’ a fond mother might be | expected ww extnbit, There was, howover, not a sign of weakness or any abnormal manifestations of mind visi- | ble. She conversed fluently and rationally about her wanderings in England. She narrated her experiences in Germany, dwelling on the subject of her travels with | & C much detail and interest to the end. During all this time she not only exhibited a sound and rational judg ment, but gave evidences of the possession of uncom- mon ‘powers of observation and inemory. Her attention was called to the time when the visitor | had met her in Washington; in 1862 The occasion she remembered. Knowing that the death of litte Tad and the assassination of Mr, Lincoln were two imeidents in her lite that were known to have made the most powerful impressions on her mind of any events which had ever occurred to her, these circumstances were | adroitly introduced into the conversation, During all this her admirable mind maintained its poise with per- | fection. Concerning Mr. Lincoln she related anecdotes | illustrating his extrome good nature, She conversed | hont the assassination, No mental weakness, under, | fa possible test, could be discovered, j publi i © men with whom she had. b during hor residence at the White Ho dwelt on the friendship whieh stod between Mr. Seward and Mr. Lincoln and herself It was the habit of | the Secretary to dine with Mr. Lincoln and herseit in- | formally two or three timesaweck. She alluded to the Motleys, whom she met in England, and spoke with great | sensibility of their kindness, atfd told how badly she felt when the Minister was removed, She very keenly de- ribed the characters she had met abroad, ghowing that | she possessos great powors of analysis, She gave her views of foreigners and foreign matters, concerning | which she exhibited great apprebension and acuteness of mind. She wlxo spoke of the books she was engaged | in reading and the life she led. Her health at pres- ent, she observed, was superb, She had never been better. When she came to Chicago [rom Florida she She specially had been suffering somewhat from fever, und her nerv- | ° ous system was somewhat shattered. She was pros- | trated, and any cceentricities she might have mani- fested then, if any, she attributed to this fact. There | were some light iron bars over the door, to which she called the attention of the gentleman. She said they seemed to menaco her, and they anneyod Sho was somewhat apprehensive that the prison bars and tho presence of insane people in tho house, whose wild and piercing crics she sometimes heard, might affect her mind 80 as to unseat her reason in time. uupon Journals and Journaliity with great intelligence, ‘The conversation took the widest possible range, and from this the representative of the Times became cons vineed that her mind was in a perfectly sound and healthy condition, She made no complaint of her treat. ment, She thought sho would like a little more liberty to drive out and a little more liberty to receive her friends, She exhibited marvellous charity through the entire course of the interview for those by whose instru mentality she had been placed there.
