Almost as dirty, diabolical piece OF
rascslity that We ever knew of was IN
earthed few days ago in Carson. in an
effort to procure charges against the
Prison Warden, Eyman- Las: winter

charges against Hyman's honesty and
official course we're rife, So much so, that
the Legislature appointed committee
to investigate the matter but not par
ticle Of proof could be found to substan-
tiate the foul charges. LYMAN was also
at that time charged with too much init
macy with Holiie Forshay, female con-
vict. Recently Nollie was pardoned
without the least, apparent, excuIpatory
circumstance, excepting, as was limited
by some, that her Imprisonment was a
source Of great scandal, and rather than
permit the disgrace to continue she was
let loose 4 short time ago Governor
Bradley recommended young man
named Miller to the Warden for the DO
sition as guard. Upon this recommen-
dation he was appointed. Soon after he
was discovered holding clandes;ine meet
ings and conversations with prisoner
named McComas. sent from Humboldt
county for stage robbery. He was
watched and caught plotting with Nc
Comas. and received from the convict a
package of papers to be delivered to out
side parties. Miller was arrested and
the package taken from him. 1t con-

Forshay, and letters to him from Mollie.

closed the fsct that HcComas, Who was

to the books, was acting as q spy or de-

naiiy as a guard, but in reality as a spy
and to assist in the plot. McComas and
Nollie are lovers, and she was helping on
the thing with the understanding that
McComas was to be pardoned as soon as |
he succeeded in his efforts TO ruin Hy-
man. It is now evident that Mollie was |
pardoned to be the better able to carry |
out the arrangement. One of the State !
officers confesses to full knowledge of |
the true object Of Miller s engagement as |
q guard. There is no doubt in our mind |
that 1t is continuation of the old plot |,
OF last winter to Dust Hyman in order to !
ill the place with one Garrard, a favorite |

thereby ex officio one of the State Prison |
has endeavered to dis

Adams was cognizant of this dirty piece

winter to remove the Warden, and COM
