Grunsfeld & Lindheim swear their
were returned unopened
and all contracts let to Mr.. Staab,
while they were the lowest bidders; and
Staab has been permitted to take away
his bids and bonds so the committee
could not see them. Alarid, Kirchner,
Yrisarri and others had been given con-
tracts (Kirchner for beef when they &C.
knowledged that they were not the low

and a piano, while six poor native women
were hudded together in one room; why

prisoner; member of the legislature is a

once told prisoner not to obey an officer
as she was deputy warden"
Mr.. Hubbell only had little to say.
He was ready to punish any officer who
does not conform to the law, or
who violates his oath. In regard
to the question of extravaganza
if the territory must have such an orna-
ment as the penitentiary, he wanted it
conducted in the most economical man
ner possible. When Mr. Gable was war
den, from January l, SO, to October l,
'S7, one year aud nine months, it cost
$101 ,Sl6,35, while under the present man.
agement, for one year and nine months,
from March 4, 1889, to December 3, 1890,
it cost $53 ,6l8, an actual saving to the
territory OF $4S,797, or about 100 per cent.
Mr.. Torres called Mr.. Hubbell to order
He didn't want him to state the figures
from the reports or to make comparisons
for him as he could make his own com.
PARSONS, if he wanted to, and when he
wanted to, and he did not want to hear
them from the -. The speaker ruled
Mr.. Torres out of order, and Mr.. Hubbell
proceeded.
Mr.. Hubbell added that the cost of the
penitentiary under Mr.. Gable was 81 IS
per day per man; while Mr.. Gable
says here in his report Just
presented that under the present man.
agement the cost is for the first year So
cents per day per man, and for the second
year only IS cents per day per man max
ing an improvement of 100 per cent in
the expense of management. Now if
this legislature will pass law to reduce
the present expenses 100 per cent more
he was with them heart and soul and
that would please the tax payers more
than all the fuss about the talk and do
ings Of Ada Humes, or the afiidavits Of
any murderers in the penitentiarv for
life who would swear to almost anything
to get several lawyers to help get them
out of the penitentiary. AS to the Perea
finance bill it saved the people $22S, 1000
in two years, and that was why the tax
payers of New Mexico laughed.

Fall, Montoya, Pedro Sanchez and
Easley.
