Resignations of State Hospital Trustees Prompt Change
Governor Nash asked for the resignation of two Democratic trustees George W. McCook and John McSweeney from the State Hospital for Epileptics board after they refused to vote to accept superintendent Dr. H. C. Rutter’s resignation. Danis H. Sowers was appointed to McSweeney’s vacancy and James T. Brown’s potential resignation may trigger an Athens Democrat to replace him. The governor insists Dr. Rutter must go and notes a search of twelve candidates will begin once the board is organized.
