work had been 20 win them from can

IN some, if not many instances, fa-

ring to share its spoils. In addition
to furnishing supplies to prisoners,
as legitimately authorized by law,
the families of nearly all of the
officials. guards and employees, as
also the families of some of the
State officials, Governor, Auditor,
Treasurer, etc, and the families of
others not connected with the pris-
on, obtained large portion of their
supplies of beef, -four, bacon, corn,
hay, wood, coal, ETC., from the
prison store. 1t is in evidence that
quite a number of prison officials,
employees, etc, as we'll as of the
State officials, have built during
this period some very comfortable
houses, with convict labor. We
find that the Deputy Warden had
in cultivation one and half acres
of land in the year 1868, from which
he sold to the penltentiary, lettuce,
onions and cabbage to the amount
of S1,21552. Ordinarily, IN order
to arrive at the net profits, we
would have 10 deduct from the
same the cost of production, but in
this case the purchaser, the State
of Missouri generously furnished,

cultivation ofthe ground and boards
