THE MAJORITY OF THE PRISON
BOARD AND THE BRADLEY
HYMAN IMBROELIO.

HYMAN IMBROGLIO-
We hereby make the authorized state
ment that the majority Of the Board OF
State Prison Commissioners. namely.
Attorney General Kittrell and Secretary
of State Minor, only await the personal
presence and cooperation Of the Chair
man of the Board, Governor Bradley. to
begin and carry on TO satisfying con-
clusion, full and exhausting investiga-
ton of all the charges brought against
the said Warden. We ~ill further state
that Attorney General kittrell addressed
letter. more than ten days since, to
Governor Bradley. urging him to come
to the Capitol and join him in making
the proposed investigation. This state
ment is due to Messrs. kittrell and
Minor. forasmnch as the impression has
been industriously and inSidiously Pro-
NOTED by certain parties and papers in
the Bradley interest that the failure OF
the Board to meet and make this inves-
tigation is the fault of the majority of
its members. We further speak from a
thoroughly weil-informed standpoint
when We say that Messrs. kittrell and
Minor are quite as anxious as Governor
Bradley or any other man TO get at the
whole truth concerning the state OF af-
fairs at the Prison. Their presence here
attesss their readiness TO make this in
vestisation. Their standing as gentle
men and officers entities them to the
confidence of the public. and The consid-
Grafton due to honest, fair-minded men
at the hands Of the press. Until Gov
ernor Bradley shows willingness to
have the proposed examination take
place, q decent respect 70. his associates
on the Board of Prison Commissioners
should deter his Excellency's represen-
tatives and allies from causing . public
misapprehension of the intents and pur-
poses of these gentlemen. Moreover. it
seems to US that unless the Governors
organs and spokesnsn are willing to be
thought guilty Of an attempt to befog !
the public mind as to the true issues of
this matter. they will desist, until after |
a fair and impartial investigation, from
further e. par.c statements whose pur-
pose and effect are to injure Mr. Hyman's
character in the eyes of the reading pub
lie. II tins Governors position is strong
enough to warrant him in the use of the
damaging language with which he at
tacks Mr.. Hyman, he need have no fear
Of the result, to himself, of en- investi-
CATION before the Board. As matters
stand, the Governors longer declination
to call the Board together and carry on
this proposed inquest will be construed
TO mean either that he is afraid of being |
unable to sustain his charges against |
Lyman or that he is sufficiently AFRO
CANT and self sufficient to regard himself
as the only honest member Of the Board |
either one of which conclusions dero- |
gates from his reputation and influence.
In speaking of q majority of the Board.
we do not mean to be understood as adj
hitting that Nessrs. Kttrell and Minor
would go into an investigation with their
mind made up to thwart the Governor
and clear Hynan at all events, for We
do not believe them capable of such
blind and obstinate prejudices, pro or
con; but We speak of them in a numsr-
ical sense and employ the tern, nsjority
merely as . convenience of expression.
