MAKES De NAL
Says That Story of Joseph Wautsli
Is II Gross EXaggeration and
Error.

The story of Joseph Wantski, print
ed some time ago in the Herald and
later reprinted in the Toppenish Re
view, has created considerable inter-
est among state officials. Wantsl.i
accused the officials at the Chehalis
stone quarries of brutal and inhuman
treatment. George A. McArtaur, ed
itor of the Toppenish Review, has
received letters from Governor Mead
and Warden Reed of the Walla Wal
IA penitentiary relative TO the state
ments of Wantski and Warden Reed $
letter is reprinted, as follows:

The within information comes
from an officer and convicts that
were there al the time these alleged
irregularities took place. Joe Want
ski, convict No. 2555, claims that the
prosecuting attorney declared in
open court in Everett at the time OF
his trial that he was Russian exile.
Convict No. 1852, Russian and
partner of Wantski, they having lived
together near Everett, and both com
mitted for same offense, informs me
that Wantski told him repeatedly
that he, Wantski, had escaped from
prison in Russia, and went to ia
pan, from there he came to San Fran
cisco, Cal, when he got into trouble
and attempted TO shoot a sheriff. He
was sentenced to San Quentin peni-
Tertiary for term of ten years. but
through the influence of Russian Of
ficials he served but thirty-two
months of sentence. Convict No.
42S7, a Russian, informs ME that
Wantski had told him the same. Also
convict No. 47S2, an Austrian, in
forms me that Wantski tod him that
in escaping from the officers in Rus
