BRIDE CHARGE
AGAINST WARDEN
Ohio Prison Officials Are Accused by
Inmate Of neutrality-suspicious.
up" Is Reply-COnVict States
On stand That Two Men
Killed by Overdose
Of Salts.

Columbus, Ohio, September l4-C. c,
Philbrick, chairman of the state board
OF administration, and DR.. Charles ii
Clark, superintendent of the state hos
pital for the criminal insane at Lima
were accused late today of attempting
to bride Otis NJ. Hurley, a convict
known as the prison Demon with
promises of pardon, to testify to the
brutality of Preston Thomas, war
den of the Ohio State Penitentiary,
as a sensational development in the
official investigation of charges of mis-
treatment of prisoners at the prison.
Hurley has signed an affidavit to
the effect that Philbrick and Clark
communicated with him while he was
an inmate of the Lima institution,
seeking to have him tell reporters that
he had been mistreated in the peniten-
tiary before his transfer to Lima and
that he had seen one prisoner named
Johnson shot in the back.
Mr.. Philbrick announced immediate
ly on hearing the charges that DR.,
Clark and w. d. Dickson, a reporter
would supoedated in the investiga-
ton and would expose the statements
of Hurley as a part of a "frame-up."
Hurley testified today that he made
the affidavit after he had informed
Warden Thomas of the effort to get
him to testify against Thomas. The
affidavit is alleged to have been sign
ed July 8 and charges against Warden
Thomas were published in a Lima
newspaper July %, resulting in the
penitentiary investigation now under
way.
Hurley charged on the witness
stand that he had seen more brutality
in six months at the Lima institution
than during eighteen years of conrne-
ment at the penitentiary. He declared
that he knew of two prisoners at the
Lima institution who had been killed
with Overdoses of salts.

So when men shall ask for my grave it

READING NOTICES
SOMETIMES.

Sometimes | long for lazy isle,
Ten thousand miles from home,
Where the warm sun shines and the blue
skies smile
And the milk-white breakers foam
A coral island, bravely set
In the midst Of the Southern sea,
Away from the hurry, noise and fret
Forever surrounding me!
For l tire of labor and care and fight,
And weary Of plan and scheme,
And ever my thoughts take flight
To the island of my dreams;
I fancy browsing the whole day long
In hammock that gently swings
Away from the toiling throng,
Away from the swirl of things:
And yet I know in Z little while,
When the first glad hours were spent,
I'd sicken and tire CT my lazy isle
And cease to be content!
I'd hear the call Of the great game -
The battle with gold and men,
And I'd sail once more, with heart OF
flame,
Back to the game again!
-BertOn BraIeV.

WE STAND PAT.

THE GAZETTE learns, with keen dis
gust, that it's editor is supposed to
have "switched' Units preference for
the candidate for Representative-at-Large,
certain citizens having made a statement
to that effect while on recent business
tour through Redwood County. The edi-
tor has said nothing that could be so con-
strued and regrets that such statement
which is an injustice to the Redwood
County candidate should have been cir
culated. While we have no vote and can
not show our preference at the polls, our
opinion is still that the Lamberton attor-
ney is the man for the place. We stand
pat for PRAXEL.

Differences of opinion regarding the
meaning of the woman at the open
gate, on one of the rev United States
silver pieces, are numerous. One writ
er has it that she is out looking for
the children who had promised not to
"stir from the yard;' another that
she is looking for the coming man;
another that she came out to see the
new furniture neighbor across the
road is getting in, and so on. Of course,
what it really means is that, in this
progressive Twentieth Century, wom-
an is emerging from cramped envi-
ronment into larger opportunity.
There is eloquent symbolism in the
woman at the open gate.-Christian
