Uncle Billy's Side.
Last week the Democrat published an
article from the Salem Statesman in
which JJncle Hilly Wright, a frequent
visitor at Albany, was accused of sending
his wife to the insane asylum, after treat
ing her cruelly, and to get rid of her,
and that he bad an Albany girl at his
home for no good purpose. The public
is entitled to the other side of the affair,
which has attracted soma attention
through the valley. Dr. Reynolds, her
physician, has published a Bta'ement in
which he says:
"I have been called to see Mrs Wright
various times since 1S94. She has been
in feeble health, weak physically, and I
was told by her husband that she had
several times threatened todestrov her
self. I was calli-d the morning of Dec.
30th, and found her greatly excited and
learned from he' hustMnd'that she had
attempted to swalkw a bottle of lauda
num, which he took from her, and he
was holding her to prevent her from get
ting it. I asked Mrs Wright if she did
not know she would be held responsible
for an act of that kind ami be punished
for it. She said, No, God wonll not
punish her for destroying her life, that
she was doing it for the pure love of her
husband ; and she asked me to give her
something for that purpose. Mr "right
came to see me the next morning, lie
stated that his wife then had it in thought
to kill the children, and he aked what
he should do for her. I advised him j
that aa she was in that state of mind tho '
only safe thing to do was to commit her j
tottie asylum to protect herself and
children from her. Mr W right exclaim
ed "'My Ood ! She has always been a
eood woman, and I don't want to do
that." I told him that was the best
place to take care of het and the chances
woa' b"er ll,ere for ner recovery.
the action taken by him was entirely
due to my suggestion "
Mr Wright's three sons d --agree in the
matter, two being against him. and one,
Samuel, living at home, for him In a
statement Samuel says: Please do not
censure my father for what he has done.
1 believe be did the rust he knew under
tbe circumstances. I have asked Dr
Reynolds and be said he told my father
a year ago that it would be lor the lt
for him and the little children to send
her there; he said that ho couid not, bat
ten the worst came he had to. As to
his using violence to her, I have never
seen it. I Uave known her when she
would get mad that wry to try and kill
him. 1 want to do what I think is right
as one is as dear to me as the other.
When I was borne I did a'l io my power
to keep her from doing ary violence.
M y father could not hire a girl to come
there to work for any length of time un
til she would have to go. so I hired the
girl and aa it is now before the public, if
the will
come and ak me 1 wul leii
therm who the girts were that he hired
and the ones that 1 hired.
