GOVERNOR AND PARTY
INSPECT PENITENTIARY

Governor Mcdonald, his wife and
members of the state board of pardons
arrived here last Monday evening and
were guests of Warden and Mrs. Cleg-
horn of the penitentiary until the fol-
lowing afternoon. Their visit here
was for the purpose of making an in
spection of the prison and of person
ally investigating a number of cases
which had been filed with the board
for hearing. Among them were
those of Mellen, Sanchez and Peters.
Mellen put up good talk for himself
but the board decided that his sent
ence was short enough as it was.
This means that Mellen's term will
expire before his case can again come
before the board and that he will lose
his franchise rights when he is again
free man.
Monday evening the prison band
gave the visitors concert on the lawn
in front of the residence of Warden
Cleghorn. Tuesday morning the board
of pardons held its regular session in
the warden's office, after which they
attended the Fourth of July celebra-
ton in the prison chapel where the
annual Independence Day pardon was
announced. A tour OF inspection fol-
lowed. and at 3 o'clock in the after
noon the party left for Beuna Vista
where they witnessed the Fourth oi
July sports at the reformatory yester-
day. They will return to Denver this
morning.
