The chaplain Of the Ohio peniten-
tiary has been suspended from his Office
pending an investigation into his con
duct. 1t is alleged that money sent
to him by friends Of the convicts for
their use was not applied to it's purpose
but stuck to his fingers. 1t is also III.
legged that the parson was unduly init
mate with woman, and that some OF
the money intended to add to the com.
forts Of the convicts' life went for the
purchase Of presents for this fair one.
1t Is evident that, if all the charges are
true, the chaplain ought to be a mem.
Der of his convict colony instead Of a
teacher Of it.
