The Governor of Colorado After the
Scalp OF Prison Warden.
DENVER, Dec. 4.-Govenor Waite re-
moved State Penitentiary Commissioner
Reynolds this afternoon on the ground
OF malfeasance in Office. He is charged
with having kept on deposit in his bank
in Canon City prison money which
should have been turned over to the
state treasury, and with having been
interested in prison contracts. By the
appointment of Reynolds successor,
the governor will obtain control OF the
penitentiary board and will then at
tempt to remove Warden McLister.
The warden has fortified himself by
the appointment of guards who will
sscrafics their lives, if necessary, in the
dssense of his interests. He says he will
not surrender the prison until the courts
decide against him.
