Loren Coburn case declared that Pub
lie Administrator Hynes of San Fran

the truth. Judge Cabaniss asked that
the record be read. and the statement
by Coburn's attorney was verified.
McNab. in one of the most eloquent
addresses ever heard in the Redwood,

"San Quentin Too Much Like
Pleasure Resort" Says
Sonntag, Playing the
Prison Theatrica|S

Personal differences OF a decided
character between John e. HoyIe.
famous reform warden Of San Quen-
tin penitentiary, and Dennis Duffy,
president OF the prison board, are
said To- be the real cause OF HoyIe's
Intention. |annornced today. to resign
his ONCE. Added to this state of
friction between individual members
of the board and Warden Hoyle,
brought about by censure of many of
the warden's methods of conducting
prison Affairs have cemented his de-
termination to give up his berth,
which is looked upon as one OF the
political plums Of the state.
Under no circumstances would I
continue Is warden Of San Quetin," is
Hoyle's declaration. THE meddling
of the prison board In the running of
the prison has become intolerable."
OPPOSE HOYLE's THEATRICALs
The announcement of Hoyle's de-
termination to resign has not caused
much surprise among the prison di-
rectors. Charles Sonntag is sponsor
for the statement that the warden's
resignation has been rather expected.
1t Is known that many of the direc-
tors have openely criticised the re-
forms of Warden Hoyle. particularly
the introduction of theatrical enter
tainment within the penitentiary
walls.
"A warden should be warden and
not an impresario." is the way Sonn-
tag puts it.
This criticism Of Hoyle has been
confined to expressions on the part
of members of the prison board out
side of their regular meetings. There
has never been any open criticism of
Hoyle In the sessions.
TRY TO HALT RESIGNATION
While 1t Is said also by members of
the prison board that no opposition
will be offered to Hoyle's resignation,
1t is believed on good authority that
q strong effort will be made to have
Hoyle change his mind.
AL McCabe. secretary to Governor
johnson, is in the city, and his mis-
sion here is said to be for that pur-
pose.
Director Sonntag scoffed at the idea
that personal feelings existed between
the warden and Dennis Duffy.
AS matter of fact" said Sonn-
tag. Warden Hoyle's resignation has
been rather expected. There has
been no direct friction between the
warden and the board, but the in
dividual members Of the board have
expressed themselves as dissatisfied
with many Of his actions. One OF
the principal causes has been the
propensity Of Warden Hoyle to make
the prison = pleasure resort. rather
than penitentiary that 1t was in
