Had Food and bad Treatment.

Bull Pen at Wardncr in giving his
testimony before the congressional in
vestigation committee. denied the
charges of bad food and bad treatment.
He said the men were we'll fed were
supplied with good coverings and cloth
ing, and he knew OF no instances in
which men were abused He also sub
mitted a detailed record Of the men In
prison.
The disposition of the warden's
record of the prisoners in the bull pen
caused extended controversy, and by q
vote OF seven to four the committee
finally ordered the book printed as o
part of the record of the investigation
Warden coakley stated before leaving
the stand that he acted under the or.
ders of the military officers who were
in charge OF the prison.
Warden Coakley stated that at no
time was the service of priest or min
lister denied to a prisoner, as had been
charged, He denied that the troops
had used such harshness toward one
johnson, an inmate, as TO make him
insane, as was charged. He also took
up the various other charges in con-
nection with the bull pen and explained
or contradicted them. During his en-
tire service ia charge he said he never

BECKHAM is GOVERNOR.
Court OF Appeals Of Kentucky so Decides
the Contest.


The court of appeals of Kentucky has
handed down decision in the gover-
norship case in favor of the Democrats
The opinion is by six of the Judges.
four Democrats and two Republicans.
Judge Durelle was the only Judge dis
senting The other two Republican
judges, Burnam and Guffy, gave sep
arate opinion from the Democratic
Judges, but which agreed with the
Democratic members in its conclusion,
Judge Hobson wrote the opinion of
the court. The concurrence of Judges
Burnam and Duffy with the four Demo-
cratic judges was a surprise generally,
but to the Republicans especially, and
there is much speculation now as to
whether the talled-of appeal to the
supreme court viii be prosecuted.
The opinion holds that the action OF
the legislature in seating Governor
Beckham was final and that the courts
have no power to review It; that Gov
ernor Taylor exceeded his authority in
adjourning the Legislature to London
and that the journals of the two houses
Of the legislature being regular cannot
be inpeached.
The Republicans will now try to get
hearing before the United States su-
preme court. Thirty days must elapse
before the mandate of the court of ap-
peals, in accordance with the decision,
isissued. Meanwhile no radical change
in the relative position of the two state
governments is expected.
