ANSWERS
From Albuquerque journal.

from JOuTual.
Attorney r. H. Hanna, VINO has rep
resented Arthur Trelford throughout
the penitentiary farce, and who has
~fearlessly and persistently protested
against the gross injustice done him
and his client, by Attorney General
Prichard in refusing to allow the de
Tense to present its case, today direc-
ted to the acting governor a letter
transmitting an affidavit iby Mr.. Trel-
ford in which is contained an answer
| charge by charge, to eacn and every
charge made against the superinten-
dent during the conduct of the inveSti-
cation farce comedy.
The letter of, Attorney Hanna and
the affidavit of Mr.. Trelford are in
plain English. They contain no pro-
family and no vituperation; but they
state facts and offer to prove them
to the satisfaction of any fair-minded
man, offers which nave been deliber-
ately refused by Reynolds, who backs
up his attorney general throughout in
every act, even to the ~doctoring of the
record as made by Stelographer
Shearon and referred to in Mr.. Han
mas letter. The attorneys letter and
Mr.. Trelford's sworn statement make
interesting reading when side by side
with the findings of Attorney Cen
eral Prichard and the orders by Ray
nolds removing Trelford and appoint
ing Sheriff LittreIl, of Colfax county
to the penitentiary SUPPLEMENTARY.
Attorney Hanna's letter and affidavit
of Mr.. Trelford, which it transmits,

TO THE ACTING GOVERNOR
Santa Fe. N. M, June %.

Santa Fe, N. M, June %, 1907.
Hon. J. w. Reynolds, Acting Governor
Santa Fe, N. NJ.
Sir: Enclosed find an affidavit by
Mr.. Arthur Trelford, which answers
all the charges so far brought to his
attention, and which he submits, that
he will be able to corroborate in all
substantial matters if he be allowed
an opportunity to do so. l desire to
call particularly to YOU attention a
statement therein made, as to his so
called bringing up" form of punish
ment, which you will observe amounts
to no more than compelling the con-
vict to stand up during the working
hours of the day as to which repre-
sentation you will find full ~corrobora-
tion in the testimony of witness for
the prosecution, jim Breen, under
cross examination.
l also desire to. take issue with At
torney General Prichard's letter as
published, as to the statement that
defense was offered the widest lati-
tude in the matter of defense, and in
this respect to call to your attention
that Mr.. Trelford and myself present
ed our selves before the attorney gen
eral at 2 p. m. on the Goth and Of
fered to introduce testimony for the
defense. R. L. Baca Notary public,
was not present but vas out of town,
and l personally offered to swear Mr..
Trelford, as a notary public, or to per-
nit any notary to do so. But Attor-
ney General Prichard refused to per-
nit the introduction of testimony, ex-
cept Shearon made the record.
1 offered to bring a ~stenographer
from Albuquerque who would be pres
ent at 10 o'clock on the following
morning, and we were willing to do
so at our expense. But his was not
satisfactory to the attorney general.

physical condition, but which this at
faint personally knows was not the
weak condition represented by Wit
ness Breen, as existing at the time of
the release of the prisoner; owing to
the absence of the assistant superin-
tendent. l visited the prisoner in pun
ishment on the fifteenth day for the
purpose of seeing mis- condition, and
to ask of him whether he desired to
be released upon the condition that
he would obey the rules of the insti-
tuition, ~whereupon the prisoner flew
into a rage, saying that he had done
nothing to be punished for and that
we could kill him before he would
nah any promises. When told to
stop that kind of talk the prisoner
kicked me in the thigh at the same
time called me a damned dirty s
of a b" At this l slapped the prison
er in the mouth with the back of my
hand, stating that I had a good mind
to take him down and give him what
he needed, as l was provoked on nav
ing such language used toward me.
The prisoner evidently realized hat
he had made a mistake by the way he
talked to me afterwards, and for this
reason / had him released from pun
ishment, but placed in close confine-
ment. During the time of my CONVEX
sation with prisoner Mears, Mr.. Breen
who had accompanied me TO the pun
ishment cell, and after opening the
door paced back and forth in the cor
ridor, apparently paying no attention
to the conversation, and during a part
of the conversation, I think that Mr..
Breen went down to the other end of
the dollhouse for 4 purpose of at
tending to other duties; that this
punishment is considered as the most
humane and with the exception that

evidence for the defense before any
fair person designated by you at our
own expense and pay the expense of a
stenographer, and present to the ter
ritory a full and complete copy of the

may be brought out by either side. 1
further state in view of the oft-re-
peated denial of Attorney General
Prihard That my reason for refusing
20 permit the making of a record of
the defense by Shearon was based
upon positive and unquestionable
proof that the record up to that time,
as made by Shearon, did not contain
many matters of Importance that
should be therein contained; further,
that the stenographer's report of the
first days proceedings now in my pos
session, did fully demonstrate the
charge made in that respect.
Again requesting fair play in behalf
of Mr.. Trelford, 1 remain, respectful
ly yours, r. H. HANNA.
