prisoners are released from the workhouse.
With the testimony of Reardon the COM
missioners said they would probably close
the investigation, unless the man Hall
could be secured for examination. 1t is un-
derstood that Hall left the city some days
ago. The commissioners have little to say
about the case. Commissioner Stout as

Reardon testified that he went to the work.

Eden, the guard. Hall wanted to get out,
and told Reardon that he would give him a
watch which he had planted" If he would
secure his release. Hall produced a gold
watch and pawn tickets for two diamond
rings. Reardon understood that the prison
er lived in Selma, Ala, and that he had
had trouble with his wife. Reardon dis
claimed any connection with Eden aside
from the Hall transaction. He also denied
that there was an agreement between Eden
and himself as to a division of the property

and after Reardon had concluded, remarked
that it was a question of sympathy with
the court whether people got out of the
workhouse or not, and the sympathy of
the court was not for sale. He thought
that if a prisoner had money to hire a law
house, that money should go to the State
and not to the lawyer.

THRIFTY MIR. Worries
EXTENSIVE PERSONAL USE OF

Charges Against Superintendent of
Public Instruction-How lie Has
Violated the Law.

II. ID. Worries, superintendent OF Public
instruction, has been charged with using
the time Of the States employees and the
material purchased by the State, of the
State printer, through the Chief Of the
Printing Bureau, in the preparation Of the
lists Of names and postofices which he has
been Offering to sell to concerns that find
such lists valuable in advertising their
goods. The report of the sale of these
lists first appeared In this city in the Jour
nal some months ago. The thrifty Superin-
tendent is also charged with failing to OBJ
serve the law which requires him to visit
each county seat in the State at least
once in the two years of his term. and
for which the State makes the annual APP
PROF ration of $500. Mr.. Worries was ques-
toned yesterday about these things, and
said that IL was true that he had been sell

is reported that the three brought a price
Of SIP, but Mr.. Worries refused to be spe-
cific. Regarding the visits to the several
counties OF the State the Superintendent
said he had only visited about fifteen or
twenty OF them, but this was owing to
sickness. He was at Deaths door during
the early part of his term OF office. The
records of the Auditor, however, show that
the full amount of the appropriation was
drawn.
The stationery bill OF Mr.. Vories's Office
exceeds, 1T is said, that of any other of the
offices in the Statehouse. During Septem-
Der and October the acquisitions upon the
Printing Bureau reached nearly 500 in
cost, the material bought being fine type
writer paper, stencil paper, inks, etc. Mr..
Worries says that while this was ordered
IL is to be charged to his private bill. He
admits that the paper was in part used in
the preparation of these, lists, while the
time of the typewriter employed by the
State for him was partly occupied in the
preparation of them, though contrary TO
a month from the State. was also employed
a part of the time in dispensing these
lists. The postage and express bill for the
period was exceedingly large.

Is her exact compensation, that the extra
money comes from the salary of the stem
ographer, which the law provides may be
$500, but which was scaled down by the
thrifty couple to as low~as $25 a month at
one time. In addition to Mr.. Vories'S wife
