Tertiary, who resigned shortly after

the mutiny at the prison in which War

killed, has given out the following state
'ment:
Somewhat reluctantly appear in pub
lie print. / hate newspaper contro-
versy. but simple justice to myself re-
quires a few brief statements.
Some papers say: 1t is understood
about Lincoln that the chaplain had II
suggested to him that his resignation
would be accepted; others that 1t was
demanded etc. Allow me to say there is
absolutely no truth In these statements.
The resignation was wholly an act Of
my own.
Further let me say I quarreled with
no one. When / called upon the gov
ernor to resign ! was not angry, nor
did | make any complaint against any
body. My only intent was to resign.
MY reasons for resIgning are wholly
my own, and really concern no one

heard and felt that which made 1t i'm
possible for me TO work there any longer.

what has appeared In the papers for

reforms proposed. the changes sug-
gested and comment made will see what

other, contended for for from five TO

zeal for reform-reform that has been

would have paid had this need Of re.
form. and its demand, been needed years
