gives the result Of the investigation of the

"Ih. 3. U'urd,reU, Superintendent Fir-
giaia Pcnitcntiary Richmond, Va.:
"Sir,-The commanding General in
struasss5ne to say that from The evissehce
submitted before the commission of i1plhiry
ito investigate and report upon certain
charges preferred against you as superin-
tendent of the Virginia State pcnitentiary
il is apparent that you have acted in some
cases in an irregular manner, and in others
have adopted such modes of action as are
novel and unusual, but in 10 case docs it
appear that you have been guilty of wilful
neglect Of duty or criminal or corrupt con-
duct.
"Thc evidence does not show how in
every case the proceeds of certain sales
were disposed of, but enough is believed to
appear to establish the fact of its being
honestly received and faithfully appro-
priated.
''Some Of the charges and specifications
are entirely unsupported by evidence, and
are not therefore entitled to consideration.
" The charge Of incompetency' is plainly
proven to be untrue and the witnesses who
testified Enthusiastically prove that the discip-
line of the prison has been improved, and
YOUR instruction of the convicts i'll useful
knowledge and in moral and religious duty
seems to have been productive of good both
to them and to the State.
"The laws clearly entrust the Superln-
tendent with large discretionary powers OF
decision and action both rs to purchases
and sales and though he may have erred
in Judgment in some cases, no reason ls
perceived which tends to show an improper
purpose or in furious result.
"The evidence generally establishes that
you have acted with energy, honesty,
and fidelity; and the commanding General
desires me to inform you that the examina,
ton exonerates you of any Intentional
offence concerning the matters alleged IL
the complaints against you, and no further
action will be taken in the case at these
headquarters.
Very respectfully,
"Your obedient servant,
