have been accomplished anyway, it seems
to have been accelerated by the fact that

forced an investigation into the conduct
of Deputy Warden Lemon, of the state
prison.. and now a bill is offered to re-

result would have been the same if he
had been convicted for in the end when

House follow the example of the Senate
this week and an adjournment was taken
