SAN RAFAEL, May 15.-At the after
noon session of the investigation OF the
San Quentin Prison, Secretary Masln
read a list of the names of those SUBJ
pGnaed to attend as witnesses, and stated
he had seen Captain Thomas and Doug
lass Wooley on Tuesday, and they posi-.
lively refused to appear. Bailiff Sullivan
then returned and stated that he had in
tercepted Thomas at the station, but
the latter would not return
on account of business. Shanahan
was sent for and placed on the stand.
He testified that be knew nothing
against the management of the State
Prison except what he had cleaned from
testimony adduced before the Legisla.
tive Committee on Ways and Means.
Shanahan said he made no agreement
with anyone in the Assembly as to the
| manner OF the investigation, or the read
ing ct the Enclosed letters.
Isaac fallen testified that he was APP
pointed by the Governor to inspect
the books at San Quentin. He
began his examination about five weeks
since and had thoroughly investigated
the books of the institution and found
the accounts in the commissary, jute
mill and clerks Office we'll kept. He
had seen no case of i'll treatment. The
food was sufficient and of excellent quail
ity. Ex-Prison Director j. A. Filcher
swore that Captain Thomas told
him that Mike Smith had given
him the letters. There were many
things connected with the management
of the State prisons which did not suit
him. When asked if he would prefer
charges against the prison management,
he emphatically said, ''No," but would
like to see thorough investigation into
the affairs connected with the prison
management. The investigation was
continued till tomorrow.
