MACKEY IS FIRED
Resignation of Deputy Warden
c. S. Pen Is Requested.
Well Known KanSan Had Wide
Criminal Experience.

Leavenworth, Kan, Sept. 1s.-W. H.
Mackey, deputy warden at the United
States penitentiary, has received note
from Attorney General McReynolds re-
questing his resignation to take ef-
feet october Is. The request came as
a surprise both to Mr.. Mackey and
Warden Thomas J. Morgan. The re-
quest for the resignation of Mr..
Mackey came to Mr.. Morgan and was
handed him by the warden. There has
been no grievance between myself and
Mr.. McReynolds," said Warden Mackey,
Neither of US had any intimation that
his resignation desired. Mr.
Mackey has made an excellent official.
his wide experience in the handling OF
criminals before coming to the prison
having peculiarly fitted him for the
place"
w. H. Mackey was appointed deputy
warden in August, 1911, following
term of nine years as United States
marshal for Kansas in Topeka. He
succeeded Frank Lemon, who resign
ed following an investigation that dis
closed deplorable conditions. Lemon.
through his harsh rule. had thrown the
institution into a state bordering on
anarchy.
When Mr.. Mackey took charge he
soon brought order out of the tangled
affairs of the prison. During the win
ter he introduced vaudeville in the
prison and the men responded in a
surprising manner to this innovation.
The following spring the deputy war
den organized a prison baseball league
and during the summer the Saturday
afternoon games came to be looked for
eagerly. Both are now fixed institu-
tions at the prison.
Mr.. Mackey also introduced road
building at the prison and the high
way bordering on the penitentiary
grounds was macadamized. The men
were worked without guards and none
violated the trust placed in him.
