Miss Sara Enlriken, stenographer in the finance department at the school, testified that she knew of the same incidents which Mrs. Holmes had brought to attention as to deaths and brutality. Both she and Mrs. Horton spoke highly of Mrs. Holmes as one of the finest of workers, an excellent executive and dedicated to her work at the school.

Both said they thought she would have made a good director. Another witness, Mrs. Sadie McCarty, registered nurse, appeared the only reluctant witness, giving answeis to statements as to diagnosis of patients, which she first said was done by nurses and then denied. She said that one doctor is insufficient to care for 1100 patients, and that the doctor did not have time to examine all. Mrs.

McCarty verified Mrs. Holmes' statement that Mrs. Valentine Lewis, a nurse, had been discharged from the institution more than once, but she did not know if political pressure from Lt. Gov. Carroll Gartin was applied to put her back on the job.

She could not recall the deaths of several children in the Negro ward, testified to by other witnesses.
