Parole Breaker
Is Returned

This morning Chas. Stone, mem
ber OF the state police, left for Reno
where he will bring Thomas Hogan
back to the penitentiary in this city
to finish his sentence at the institu-
ton. Hogan was among the men
released a few days ago on parole
On reaching Reno he filled up with
whiskey and was arrested for fight
ing. During the arrest he had an
other mix-up with the police officers.
From the statement in the Reno pa
pers he was shamefully beaten by
the members of the Reno police. If
the account is true as printed the po-
lice force needs an investigation.
The action of such men as Hogan
makes the parole of other men come
hard. His failing is the result of
drinking, as his crime came about
on that score. 1t seems that the
best place for Hogan is in the prison
as he evidently needs guardian and
in this case the state will act for
him.
