The Superindendents Approve his Administration 

EXAMINED INMATES

 

The superintendents of the poor met at the county house Tuesday and investigated the charges made by Editor Lisemer against Keeper Shankland. They examined all the sane inmates, none of whom had any complaints to make relating to Mr. Shankland. In fact many of the inmates who had been there for years stated to the board that the treatment was better than it had been under former keepers. Robert Tidswell and Thomas Burke, the two former inmates who were the authority for the charges, did not appear before the board. 

 

The superintendents, consisting of James Taylor of Chelsea, F. J. Fletcher of Ypsilanti, and Philip Duffy of Aim Arbor, completely exonerated Mr. Shankland from the charges and imputations made against him.
