REMOVAL CAUSES SURPRISE.
Warden Did Not Consult With the
Prison Commissioners.

The dismissal of Captain of the
Guards Murphy from Folsom came so
suddenly that even the Board of Prison
Commissioners We're surprised at the
action taken by Warden Yell Commits
sioner Charles N. FELTON, said yesterday
that he had heard nothing about the
dismissal of Murphy until informed of
it by The Call. However, Warden Yell
is empowered to dismiss whom he
pIeases from the prison and make his
own appointments except in the case of
the commissary department, the mem
bers of which are selected by the Com
missioners. 1t is said on good author
ity that Lieutenant Cochran will sue
ceed Murphy.
1t has been rumored for some time
that Warden \ ell was anxious to get
rid of Murphy. Although the latter had
been a faithful employe of the prison
for more than twenty years and knew
much about the handling of prisoners,
Yell feared that he was not strict
enough with the felons in the hour of
danger and was liable to injure the Sc
we're discipline installed by the new
Warden
Many facts are cited in support of
this theory. When the first prison
break occurred in August, 1908, Murphy
was captured by the escaping convicts
and used by them as a shield. The
captain of the guards at that time gave
the men under him orders not to shoot
at the runaway desperadoes. Conse-
quently, it made it easy for them to
carry out their plans and resulted in
the shedding of much innocent blood.
Warden Yell was appointed to sue
ceed Warden Wilkinson, which oc-
Cured shortly after the first break at
the prison. Yell at once inaugurated a
f,.f<. <14 -
and gave each of the guards posiIiy
orders to shoot any criminal who
made break for liberty.
When the convicts made their second
attempt to break Jail few months
ago, YelPS orders were carried out and
the result was that an escape was pre-
vented. Strange to say, Captain of the
Guards Murphy was again captured
and used as a shield and it is said he
again issued orders to the guards not to
shoot
Murphy was wounded during the
fight that ensued, but recovered from
the shot he received. Since that time,
1T is understood that Warden Yell was
quietly looking for a man to take Muir
phys place. That he had fully made
up his mind to dispense with the serv-
ices Of the captain of the guards was
known by many. He did not consider
Murphy a stern enough man for the
position and feared the convicts might
again take advantage of a chance and
attempt to break Jail once more
1t is understood that the Board of
Prison Commissioners will uphold Yell's
action. The board has full power to re-
woke any appointment made by the
Warden providing that sufficient evil
dence is brought forth to show that his
Judgment was faulty 1t seems almost
certainty that Lieutenant Cochran
caused by Murphy's discharge.
Cochran has been guard at the
prison for number of years and is
known as a stern and fearless man.
Yell has often expressed his admiration
for the lieutenant. and as the latter
is next in line to the deposed captain,
he stands an excellent chance of Sc
curing the place.

PRISON GU ARD
IS DISMISSED
Warden Yell Relieves Cap
tain Murphy From Duty
at Folsom Penitentiary
NO CAUSE is ASSIGNED
Removal Comes as a Great
Surprise to the Friends
of the Dep0sed Official

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 2.-After twen-
ty-five years continuous duty at Fol
som Prison and just as he had left a
sick bed, where he had been confined
from wounds received from the knives
of the desperate convicts who recently
attempted to make a break for liberty
and were shot down by Guard Harris,
Captain r. ]. Murphy has been dis
missed.
1t is said that his dismissal resulted
from an article printed in the local
press, which reflected on Warden Yell.
1t is now reported that Yell attributed
the article to Captain Murphy and for
that reason dismissed him. Yell re-
fuses to discuss the dismissal.
Captain Murphy has nothing to say
about the matter. He says he never
criticized the actions of his superior.

An Injustice Prevented

Now that the legislatures of both
New Mexico and Arizona have passed
resolutions protesting against state
hood. it is hardly probable that that
measure will be approved by congress,
the more so as the injustice of the
proposed law has been thoroughly ex.
posed by the senatorial discussion.
The only danger in the joint state.
hood bill vas that it might be hur-
ried through the senate without an
exact knowledge of the facts. and
that the people Of the territories
might be induced to sell their birth.
right of separate statehood for the
pottage of immediate admission. Ac-
cording to the bill it would not be
necessary for a majority of the
people of each territory TO approve
the measure, and a favorable vote in
New Mexico might overbalance an
%unfavorable vote in Arizona.
Now that the sentiment Of the peo-
pie of the TWO territories is made so
plain, 1t seems hardly possible thar
congress will try TO force joint state.
hood upon them against their will,
and they will have 10 wait until a
more favorable condition in the ma
tional congress gives them separate
statehood.
The matter Is Of Importance 10
every western state for the reasOn
that 1t involves a question Of Two
| western senators for all future time.
| New Mexico and Arizona certainly
| have the area, the resources AMI The
| population to entitle them to separate
statehood and a definite promise OF
! separate statehood vas made to them
when the territories we're established.
| The plan of joint statehood was con.
triyed as a means Of preventing the
increase Of western representation In
the United States senate. and II is
| surprising that 1t should receive any
support anywhere in the west-Pueb-
