DENVER. Col. May 17.-Gov. Waite
yesterday passed upon the charges pre-
:eired against Penitentiary Commission
ers Chamberlain. Boeticher and Rey-
nolds. The verdict is guilty, and the
penalty is removal from office. But the
Commissioners object to being removed,
and the prospects are bright for bigger
turmoil than resulted from the Fire and
Police Boards incident.
Gov. Waite has a son-in-law. Dan
Bruce by name, whom he wants ap-
rointed Deputy Warden at the peniten-
tiary. Warden McLister refused to ap-
Toint him. so the Governor wants the
Penitentiary Commissioners to remove
the Warden to make room for a man
Who Will do his bidding. The Commits
sioners refused to remove the Warden,
and the next move was to prefer charges
against them, with the result stated.
Commissioner Chamberlain Is Popu-
list, and was appointed by Gov. Waite.
He will not give up his position. and II

Chamberlain resides, will, 1t is said,

emergency,
