the Warden could meet suggestions that have
recently been thrown out concerning the treat

had been proposed that in cases of highway
robbery and tootpadsm the convicted criminal
should be kept In close confinement for the
first year of his sentence, with an allowance of
two meals a day, and only such exercise as
should be allowed at the discretion of the War
den. On this suggestion being put TO the
Board of Directors and debated, il was found
that the directors were equally divided in
opinion, and Warden Hale, having doubts as
to his authority in the matter, submitted the
case TO the Attorney General of the State for
consideration.
The opinion delivered yesterday decides
that Warden Hale has no such arbitrary
power To begin with. the law provides that
all prisoners have equal rights in prison. so
long as they behave themselves. the enormity
of crime being measured by the length OF
punishment awarded TO the perpetratoT. The
warden OF prison has no right 10 take hear
