Somehow the GLOBES nose points towards
corruption and is happy when it finds it.

ex-conyict who detailed the most brutal and
horrid treatment of the prisoners, such as
nearly starving them to death, giving physi-
cally impossible work for them to do, and
abusing them i'll brutal and fendish man

Wet is telling some truth. When the asylum

was made to laugh it down. It has proven

The liberty of the press, controlled by

liberty of the press under such management

The GLOBE while compelled by the absurdity
of the story it had printed, to retract much
of it, still holds to the shadowy suspicion of
evil, and demands an investigation. There
is a possibility that the story of this most
degraded of convicts, and the folly of a
reckless paper, may cost the State hundreds
and perhaps thousands Of dollars, to inyesti-
gate charges which every one else knows to
be false before the investigation begins, and
which the GLOBE will not have the manliness
to confess are false after the investigation

I'm Infamous !Slander.

There is scarcely but one opinion among
the right thinking people Of this city in
reference to the sensational article in Mon
days GLOBE, charging Warden Reed and
Deputy Hall with cruelty to prisoners under
their charge. People of all classes, irrespec-
tive of politics, denounce the article as in
famous to the last degree.
The charge that Warden Reed has ever
been, or is capable of being, guilty of such
conduct as is attributed to him, is absurd
and unworthy of credence. His denial is
scarcely necessary.
The authority for all this sensational
stuff is simply the unsustained statement
of an ex-convict, whose record is the very
worst.

The st. Paul GLOBE has captured dis

the crimes in the calendar to the Messrs
Reed and Hall, the warden and deputy, and
all on the reports of this convict, who, &C
cording to his own story, was one of the
worst men in the institution, and who prob

Charges of serious nature are made in
regard to the treatment of the inmates of
our State prison, and if the story of Patrick
Coffey, who passed six years in that institu-
ton, is half true, it reveals most horrible
state of affairs. Rumors of the brutal treat
ment of prisoners there have from time to
time come to light from various sources, until
the public mind revolts at the possibility of
such a state of things, and it is hoped the
matter will be thoroughly investigated, and
that the perpetrators Of such fendish cruelty
shall be summarily punished.

ALI of this very attractive advertisement for

place above mentioned is based upon the
statement of an e1-prisoner of that institu-
ton, just let out, by the name of Patrick
Coffey, who tells long story of the dark
ways of the keepers Of the prison, but, GU
rious enough, all of the cruelties of which
he complains were bestowed upon himself,
and according to his own confession were
provoked by his own misconduct, but which,
if true, are certainly a disgrace to any
country we know of this side of Turkey.

The officers allege that the statement is en-
tirely unworthy of credence. It is possible
there may be unnecessary harshness in the
prison discipline, but it is not to be forgotten
that convicts are not likely to bear impartial
testimony in the matter, and their statements
are usually to be received with great caution.
