the most severe criticisms of the state
prison plant has been the indictment
of conditions in the cell bl )cks-
The prison warden was asked con-
corning the Heery indictment of con-
ditions at the prison. Heery spent two
weeks at the prison as an inmate. He
went there to study conditions When
he left the prison he declared condi-
tons were worse than at jefferson
City and insinuated that Jefferson city
had to his judgment provided the
worst prison facilities in the world
Just now Heery is lecturing concerning
conditions at Lansing and his remarks
are not glittering endorsements of the
Kansas institution and the Codding
management.
THE Heery charges are overesti-
mated and not as serious as they
sound" said Warden Codding. His
real complaint concerns conditions,
not the management. His greatest
complaint affects the cell blocks. Now
we are planning to build new ones"
Then the warden added as an after
thought:
ut was really a mistake to let
Heery go there in the first place"

ment certain of the heirs contracted with
the others to pay them certain sums of
money soon as the former should OBJ
tain clear title to the land, the latter to
pay one-half the cost of getting a clear
title. Pursuant to this contract a suit was
brought to correct the Will according to
the testatrix's alleged intention and so as
to devise the land to the plaintiffs in such
suit-the defendants here. The plaintiff
herein made defense to such suit and
the defendants took a decree as prayed
for and have ever since been in possession
of the land claiming title thereto, which
the plaintiff herein comedies, and about
two years before this action was begun
paid 500 his claim. Held, that the
amended petition alleging the foregoing
facts stated a cause of action and the de-
murrer thereto was wrongfully sustained.
