Continued from page one
breakfast was being served, and Mr..
Jones replied they could go down
il Mr.. Hull would let them, and he
went back up stairs into his private
office. Mr.. Hull still declin.d and
said to see Mr.. Jones about it. They
then went up to Mr.. Jones and Mr.
lrego explained the matter court
eously and said they simply wanted
to visit the prison at breakfast time
to get information. Mr.. Jones said
that Mr.. Trego could not go in be-
cause he had given them so much
trouble and was only seeking to
make trouble anyhow and he was
tired of it. He said he might admit
Mr.. Peck and Mr.. Bond, but that Ire
go was a nuisance and a mud singer,
At this point Mr.. Trego spoke up and
said:
If my publication of conditions is
mid singing, it is because your
record which publish is muddy, and
| can't help that. / shall go on with
my work and tax articles whether
you are tired of it or not"
Mr.. Jones then went on speaking
disrespectfully of Mr.. Trego and his
tax articles. and closed by referring
to a certain case against him in
court, whert upon Mr.. Trego cast of
all restraint and looking Jones in
the eye, denounced him with the most
scathing statement that one man ever
directs at another.
Mr.. Jones jumped up and advanced
to where Trego stood, and they took
a sparring attitude for a moment
and Jones said, you can't talk that
way to me here"
Mr.. Trego replied, "And you can't
insult me anywhere.
Jones grabbed Trego and said
"Get out of my Office" and tried
to rush him TO the stairway. Mr.
Trego logged the other way and said
"If you want me to leave, give me
time to 60" Jones logged toward
the stairway, saying, Get out of my
office or I'll throw you out" Tregc
replied, IF you let go of me, and tell
me to leave I'll go, but you won't
throw me t and I'll resist you and
fight you ais long as you try it,"
A. S. Dickinson came up the stairs
and stepped pact them into the room
Jones released his hold and braced
up as If to give Trego a parting shove
and Trego said, Now, I'll go, but see
that you don't shove me when start
into the stairway" Jones dropped
his arms and .Trego walked down the
stairs, Jones following, and Dickin-
son exclaiming, I'D break his d
neck for him!" ~ @
AS they passed through the lower
office, Jailer Hull followed them into
the hall. Trego started to the clerks
office, and Jones ordered him out oil
the hall and out of the building
saying, "Ycu >are disturbing the
peace" Trego replied that as hs
had left the office where the trouble
arose he was within his rights ir
going to any other office he wanted
! to, and he had business in the clerks
office and would 90 n. Jones called
to Hull and they grabbed Trego b!
the arms and skated him to the wes
J door and put him out. Trego enter
ed again, and they put him out again
} saying that he was disturbing the
peace. Trego said, you fellows are
disturbing am all right. How
many times are you going to put me
out before can come in and STAY

Jones: "You have got to leave
:, the premises and stay away until yor
determine that you will behave your
, self" So saying he braced up IL

and was going in. Jones said, well
Trego, you are d fool" ant
