Sullivan threw himself on one OF three
hunks in the cell with sigh OF relief,
Captain BERLIN joiued Warden Hale out
side and was driven to the prison.
After luncheon Warden Hale was seen az
his office by THE CALL reporter; ne WAS
very much pleased at the success ne nad e4-
perienced in nipping the jail breaking plot;

NO CRUEI. TREATMENT.
Warden Hale then complained at the
treatment certain papers had given him, ac-
eusng him OF tricing up the consplIa,,oits, ~,
fogging them, ntlictng the shower-Dath
and numerous other refined crueities; :.

| NO PISTOLS IN MILK.
The Warden was asked concerning the
truth of the published reports that inc
| weapons and cartridges had been Smugged
| into prison in a pail of milk.
| That's all bOsh," ne exclaimed in tone
| of disgust. ''Welles there" and he pointed
out a yOuthful-looking convict in striped
| garb, raking in garden near by, mas tOld
me all about it. He hasn't got exactly good
sense and Turcott, Manning and the others
| picked him out as kid to help them.
| He might never have said a word but we

an outside man, and when we went 10

Welles was trusted so implicitly that we

Goa yict would simply pass his hands over
each mans person. As Il search il was a
farce. Even if the ''trusty" did feel some
contraband article concealed in the mans
clothes he would not tell of it. This has
been changed now, though, for every con-

working outside is carefully searched by
two officers. 1t is hoped that this will pre-
vent any more weapons from entering TIE
| prison.
| Among residents at San Rafael, San
| Quentin and other parts Of Marin County
| there is a very general feeling that 5. w.
! Sullivan can never be convicted, owing to
the popular prejudice against receiving the
| evidence of a convict.

smiled and said Wait and see. | have not
