The State J0GrndI says that with two or
or three exceptions, all the male appOintees
sre ex-SOldiers. The work of providing
new guards will undoubtedly begin imme-
diately, Warden Coffin attending to that
work. Ex-Warden Peetrey refused,
although offered the salary of the position
for that length of time, to remain for few
weeks TO help Warden Coffin to master the
details of his new work. This has always
been done heretofore by the retiring warden.
but Mr.. Peetrey felt very sore at the sum
mary bouncing he got However the mem
bers of the board and the legislature felt
that his refusal To resign was sufficient
reason for their quick way of doing business.
