Deputy Warden Playford Gets Even WITH
an Insubordinate Guard.
COLUMBUS, o., June 10.-The board OF
penitentiary managers, Friday, issued
the following paroles: Harry Hotter,
received from Lucas county in April,
1892, for two years for obtaining money
under false pretenses. His home Is in
Xenia. Herman Kroll, Mahoning county.
three years, for robbery and pocket-pick-
ing, received October, 1891. VIM. Davis,
Scioto county, five years for burglary
and larceny, received September 1, 1889.
For some time it has been evident
that there was some friction among the
penitentinry officials. Friday this cul-
minated when Guard Gump, of Shelby
county, filed charges against Warden
Playford in which it was alleged that
Playford had been supplying his family
table from the prison kitchen. The
board of managers made an investiga-
tion which resulted in Playford's ex-
oneration, the superintendent of the
kitchen disproving the charges.
Mr. Gump filed an additional charge
that the deputy disobeyed the orders
of the warden. The board refueed to
consider this charge, on the ground
that the warden himself should make
the complaint, if he had any to make.
The warden said he had no cause OF
complaint. Capt. Playford then pro
ceeded to get even by fling charges OF
characterization and uttering false
charges against Gump. The latter was
suspended by Warden James, and the
board confirmed the suspension, which
will stand until the next meeting in

-BEWARE OF THAT dlRl', Ml ClIlLD
culty'of any sort had arisen between
them until it was announced by Lady
Boughton at breakfast one morning
that Vera Demasque was coming to
spend n few days at Merle court, and
Randy Valmont had remarked that he
had met her in Paris in the winter
1'What! that girl coming here-that
dreadful girl!' Madge cried out to the
CONSERVATION and dismay of her listen
ers. for there was more temper in her
voice thau anyone had believed Madge
TO possess.
Everyone defended Vera Demasque;
no one could think what Madgc had to
say against her. Lady Boughton was
especially indignant with her daughter.
She was one of those hostesses who
like t. collect what she called ''repre-
sentative people at her house, and
Vera Demasque, she averred, was quite
out II the beaten track, and had II
strong character that was well worth
fatll;ming.
Randy Valmont's opinion Of Miss
DemAsque was not quite the same as
that Of his future inother-in-law, but
he said that she was very charming
and that she quite fascinated him.

,whose nationality no one was absolute
