been accomplished in other states and
of what he hopes TO accomplish in Yer
mont. There was also an address by

perintendcnt of missions for the Bap-

Mr. Cakes is found to have conducted ahairs

tivity, diligence and care aud placed too
much confidence in his subOrdinates. Dur
ing his administration only two prisoners es'
capped one of whom was recaptured and the
other convicted and executed in neighbor'
ing state.
The committee find that 4. ID. llarpin,
warden for over five years, was good dis
ciplinarian and an efficient warden, but his
personal conduct in and outside the prison
was OF character that cannot be too severe

was not faithful or loyal to his superior Off.

connection with the Mary Rogers case is
