When Marianist province officials heard allegations that the principal of St. Mary's High School in St. Louis had drugged or hypnotized students as part of "bizarre" psychological experiments in 1983, they sent him to New Mexico for treatment, according to province officials.

About nine months later, province officials were told Brother William Mueller had been successfully treated. He got a new job, this time as assistant principal and religion teacher at St. John Vianney High School.

Fifteen months later, he was kicked out after the father of two boys accused Mueller of bizarre behavior, province officials said.
