ARMSTRONG MUST
VACATE PRISON
QUARTERS
GOV. WARNER DEMANDS THAT
WARDEN AND WIFE LEAVE AT
ONcE-GRAFT CHARGES WILL
BE PROVED WITHOUT DELAY.

LANSING, Mich. Feb. l1.-Warden
ordered To vacate their quarters In
Jackson prison. Gov Warner last
night dispatched Major Loomis, his
private secretary. TO Jackson, TO ON
cially notify Armstrong 10 leave the
Prison. The governor also informed
Attorney Cobb. who represents Arm
strong. thar the warden must vacate
his prison quarters. Mr.. Cobb said
that Armstrong would comply with the
order without delay.
The prosecutors say with Armstrong
removed from the prison they can
conduct thorough investigation and
discover more graft, II any more ex'
lists Prosecutor Reece had declared
that Armstrong listened TO all con-
versations over the telephone and
hampered the investigators In many
other ways. and the decision To order
the warden TO vacate thep rison quar-
ters was reached last night at meet
ing held here between, Gov. Warner.
Prosecutor Reece, OF Jackson county,
Assistant Attorney-General McGill, and
Thomas j. Nayin. member OF the pris-
on board OF control Attorney General
Bird will be asked today to draft
charges against Armstrong providing
for his permanent removal as war
den. The charges will be signed by
Gov. Warner and an early date will
be set for hearing.
Ii is announced that Thomas T..
Barkworth. OF Jackson, will be EN-
ployed as counsel TO assist the prose
cutors.
More reports OF graft come to the
attention OF the prosecutors almost
daily. The latest matter that is being
investigated is the report that Arm
strong endeayored 10 secure a pass
from the Michigan Central railroad
after the antip pass law had been put
into effect When told that II was
against the law to issue the pass. the
warden is said To have declared he
was willing to show whether he could
use IL or not The railroad officials re-
fused to issue the pasteboard.
Now that Armstrong has been ORDER
ed TO remove from the prison. the
work OF probing into the graft charges
will be commenced In earnest. Judge
aPrkinson, in Jackson, yesterday sum-
moned the grand jury To investigate

kinson did not take much time after
Prosecutor Reece made the formal re-
quest for the grand jury The judge
was convinced that the prison affairs
needed thorough sitting and they
will get II.
People are wondering what VIII be
Armstrong defense. In the absence
of official information, OF course, there
are many rumors. One OF the most
persistent rumors says that Arm
trong's defense will be insanity.
Acting Warden Wenger's bond OK
