TALE Of C0LFAX SHERIFF IS FALSE
SAY THE CUST0DANS Of SIDNEY SLOANE

Ratliff had made the statements at
tributed to him.
At the time Ratliff came to the PEN
itentlary with his prisoner he arrived
at $3.50 o'clock In the afternoon and
left at 4 o'clock. The warden and
Captain of Guards Smith are of the
opinion he did not go inside the prison
at all stating he did not care to do so:
that if he had he would not have had
time to see Sloane who is on the second
landing.
The warden. Captain Smith and
Chief Turnkey Ben Gillian We're much
amused over the alleged statements of
RatciiH. The latter said:
He put on stripes 20 minutes after
he came and has worn them ever since.
The meals he gets are identical with
those given the other prisoners in every
way and he is treated in just the same
way. He wears no jewelry Of any kind.
not even a finger ring.
The statement regarding the shined
shoes is regarded as especially ridicu-
lous for the reason that Sloane. like
other prisoners kept inside all the time.
wears special shoes. or slippers, made
of canvas. lie also has Il pair of slip
pers his mother made for him.
In regard to his working. the war
den said: I'VE cannot let him do so
because of the conditions under which
he came here. He was sent here as an
insane man by the jury. and bad
man. by the judge, and there is. but
one thing for me to do. keep him by
himself like other insane prisoners.
Not to do this might bring on UNI
pleasant complications. He might get
into a fuss with his fellow cOnvicts and
the guards have definite instructions as
to what to do in such cases. Then
there would be an insane man shot and
there you are. No there is but one
thing to do He was nut under my

Sidney Sloane. the Spokane parri-
eide. wears stripes and is treated in
every way exactly like other prisoners
in the insane ward.
Warden Kincaid and other prison au-
thorities brand as an absolute falsehood
the statement alleged to have been
made by Sheriff Ratliff Of Whitman
county. after recent visit to the pen"
that Sloane wore tailOr-made clothes.
jeWclry. had his shoes shined daily by
q convict and was served with special
meals.
The Colfax sheriff is alleged to have
come in contact with the dude from
Spokane" in the following article which
appeared in the ColfaX Gazette:
Sheriff Ratliff was at Walla Walla
last week. whittier he went to convey
a prisoner. While there he came in
contact with the dude from Spokane
who killed his father and was acquitted
on the insanity plea-Sidney Sloane by
name SLOANE is confined in the insane
ward of the penitentiary. Instead of
wearing stripes and living on coarse
prison fare he never had better time
in his life. He has the freedom of
the court and balcony. flashes red
necktie and jewelry galore. dresses in
tailor-made clothes. even has pris-
oner 70 black his shoes every morn
ing. Special meals are provided for his
b. nefit. This does away with the re-
port that Sidney is wearing stripes and
has to work. More's the pity that ne is
not making jute bags. In theory he is
insane. in reality no one believes him
to be mentally unsound. This is only
one chapter of the workings of our ju-
dicial procedure"
Warden kincaid stated to repre-
sentative of The Statesman this MORN
irg that the allegations were "a lie
and that was all there was to it," He
further said he was 10th to believe
