GOVERNOR FIRES CAPP
WARDEN DECLINES TO LEAVE
STATE REFoRMAToRY.
Order Issued by Executive After Ex-
animation Of Witnesses-Warden
Refused to Attend Hearing.

Wcstern Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-Governor Carlson Tues
day issued an order removing War
den M. P. Capp OF the State Reform
atory at Buena Vista from office, af-
ter declaring the warden guilty of ex-
treme cruelty and neglect of duty.
Warden Capp will refuse to relin-
quish his position X. l.. Shaw OF
Buena Vista, who was appointed war
den by Governor Carlson during the
session of the last General Assembly
office. will be reappointed by the gov
ernor or notified to take possession
under his old appointment order.
1t is expected that Warden Capp
will formally decline to turn the in
stitution over to Shaw upon demand
and that Shaw will begin quo war
ranto suit In court as means of
ousting Capp.
The removal order was issued by
hearing on evidence against Warden
Capp that occupied almost two hours.
This evidence chiefly concerned the
whipping of inmates at the institu-
tion and charges that diseased meat
had been fed to them.
Governor Carlson had summoned
Warden Capp to appear before him
to answer inquiries in regard to the
charges but the warden did not ap-
pear and was undefended before the
executive.
Instead, he sent a letter to the gov
ernor saying that he did not believe
1t was his duty to appear at the pres
ent time and that he had information
which led him to believe that should
he leave the institution an attempt
will be made to invade and take this
institution by force by outsiders"
