 Crouch, pastor of the Yuma NJ. E church and acting chaplain ot the penitentiary, in regard to the recent charges made by the S~m and small bore enemies of the administration, the reverend gentleman said:
 "I have been acting chaplain oi the Territorial prison for the past nine months. I have preached to the convicts each Sabbath and have visited the prison frequently on week days, talking with the boys and guards freely. Of course one would not expect to find many saints in states prison, but l have found that convicts of this prison have treated my wife and myself with the utmost respect, and we have formed some strong friend ships among them. l have never seen the slightest evidence oi intoxicating liquor among the convicts, and 1 have had a good opportunity to obse we their con- duet Superintendent Darlington has always been very courteous to me and has readily conincided with suggestions I have made fol the moral benefit of the prisoners
 Hence a concert was gwen on Christmas day, and on the Fourth of July an old-fashioned spread. eagle program was enjoyed by all
 He said further. "I acted as chaplain of this prison in 1891-2 and can say that the discipline in the prison is as good, if not better, under this administration than it was then. The prisoners all seem to have the fullest respect for MT Darlington and tip their hats to him when he enters the yard. The management seems to me to be highly efficient, and I can see nc just reason for all this turmoil"
