Walter ]. Smith, former state
treasurer, who was sent to Saltwater
prison in April, 1916, in connection
with shortage of $4,000 in the state
treasury and paroled last August to
enter the state sanatorium for con-
sumptives at Walker, returned to pris-
On last night says The ST. Paul Pioneer
Press.
G. E. Vasaly, chairman of the pa
role board, said that Smith was al
lowed to leave the prison on "sick
parole" and that his condition i'm
proved so much he was returned.
The case of Smith and that of Rob-
ert c. Pickit, former clerk of the
state investment board, and involved
in the manipulation of state funds,
probably will come before the parole
board at its next meeting at the pris-
on. Reports were current last night
that both men would be paroled.
Two stories of the causes of the
transfer of the prisoner were in cir
culatlon, and confirmation of either
was not obtained at the capitol
One report was that a parole will
be granted Smith in few days and
this plan necessitated his return to
the prison.
Another story was that Smith was
disciplined a few days ago for break
ing the rules of the Walker institu-
ton by walking downtown and buying
himself dinner at a hotel. Board OF
control members said the infraction
of the rules would not warrant his
return to the prison.
