Green Not Called.

Green Not Called.
Gen. F. w. Green. OF Ionia. secretary
OF the Acme Reed Furniture Co.. who
made the complaint OF accepting a
bride against Warden Armstrong, ar
rived in Jackson yesterday afternoon
and remained at a hotel during the
meeting of the prison board. He Wa
rot called owing TO the fact that Arm
strong submitted his letter.
The action of the board last night
gives Armstrong ample time TO pre-
pare his defense. His friends already
are active. Certain OF them declared
yesterday that Armstrong was laying
a trap 10 catch Green. The warden
would not imperil his own position In
the manner shown unless he had some
motive OF this sort in view, they say.
1t has been stated by many persons in
Jackson that Armstrong could not have
injured the interests of the Acme Reed
Furniture Co. without the sanction c.
the board of control that II he at
tempted any shady" transactions he
would be discovered Others. how
ever, say that a warden can work Sc
cretly and influence affairs in his own
direction IL he desires.
Jackson today Is discussing nothing
but the Armstrong affair. Coming TO
this city with clean record, Arm
strong had many friends. His record
In Cassopolis and Lansing has been
referred to numerous times today by
his friends They declare that there
will be sensations: that his name will
not long be smirched by the stigma
Of graft. He had good position at
the penitentiary. they maintain. Why
should he take a chance TO lose this
for the sake OF bride? Gen. Green
set the clever trap. they declare. TO
catch the warden, but instead Green
himself may be the victim OF the con-
spiracy.
Says Armstrong Threatened.
In the Otsego hotel, where Warden
Armstrong is charged with accepting
a bride. John Thwaites. OF Ionia. and
NJ. NJ. Reed, OF Ypsilanti. stockholders
OF the Acme Furniture Co, discussed
the situation. They declare their
company was making money in Ionia
prison. but not in Jackson. They
tlamed Armstrong for this state OF
affairs. Thwaites declared that War
den Armstrong had threatened to hold
up three cars OF material that. were en-
route; that he had refused TO permit
one man TO enter the plant who was
essential to it's operations. The war.
den. he said, could assign whoever he
pleased TO the plant and therefore be
could control the efficiency OF the con.
Wet labor. Thwaites' statement would
tend to account for the offer OF bride
by Green.
