was evident that she had just been dancing
Even at this distance she looked pale aud
weary, and the smile on her lips was a very
sad one. She looked-unhappy girl las though
she had been crying.
Kemp pushed his way TO her side, almost
seized her program as soon as he had greeted
her, and began scribbling his initials upon it
with feverish impetuosity.

SOME ONE WILL BE PUNISHED,
What Commissioner Douglass Says
About the Priller Affair.

Superintendent Stoutenburgh was at the Dis
trict building early this morning waiting for
the Commissioners. He had seen in yesterday
STAR the report Of Waterman McEntee and
wanted to make an explanation to the Commits
sioners. He told them that he might have
been mistaken in his report in reference to the
disappearance of Henry Priller from the aims
house. whose body was afterward found in a
marsh, and, as he (Stoutenburgh) would sooner
cut OF his right hand than do any one under
him an injury, he was willing to bear his share
Of the blame in allowing Priller to get away.
The Commissioners said that they would look
into the matter. 1t is thought that should the
superintendent be found to have been respon-
sible for the escape Of Priller he will be re-
moved
In conversation with Commissioner Douglass
upon the subject he said to a STAR reporter:
There is no doubt but that somebody down
there was derelict in his duty. and, while can't
say just what will be the outcome, can assure
you that the matter will be thoroughly investi-
gated and the guilty one punished"
