SAYS PRISON PROBE
MAY BRING REFORMS
Judge Martin Believes Prisoners
Should Be Permitted to Work
in Open Air
HAS CONFIDENCE IN M'KENTY

The proposed probe into the Eastern
Penitcntiary instituted by Governor
Sproul will have the effect of introduc-
ing many needed reforms, according to
Judge J. Willis Martin.
Judge Martin says that as a measure
of health prisoners should be permitted
to work in the open air. most prefer
ably on farms, and should be paid for
their labor.
II should be very much surprised, y
he said yesterday. ''if any serious
charge against Warden McKenty should
be substantiatcd because 7 have always
regarded him as capable and sincere
official. I think the warden does the
best he can with the facilities at his
disposal The Eastern Penitentiary is
an antiquated institution. Also, the
laws are defective in failing to provide
employment for the inmates. A formal
investigation might be productive in
developing suggestions and ideas which
would be helpful in accomplishing these
improvements
Mrs. I. n Simonin. president Of the
Kings Daughters. an organization in
terested in prisoners, declined to say
anything regarding conditions in the
penitentiary as she had found them.
McKenty VIII Go Anywhere
"I am willing to go to England Ire
land, France, Germany or any, place
else the Investigators desire while my
administration is being investigated by
Governor Sproul," said Robert j. Nc
Kenty, warden of the Eastern Peni-
tentiary.
The warden said this in answer to
question put to him yesterday if he and
his family would be willing to with
draw from their residence in the peni-
tentiary when the investigation begins
and stay away until all the testimony
of the witnesses had been taken. The
question was asked in view of the fact
that some of the prisoners might feel
they could not speak freely while the
warden or any of his family were pres
ent.
f. 7. Lafferty. n member ot the board
of prison inspectors. who was present
in the warden's office. objected that the
question was unfair.
Warden McKenty waved aside Mr.:
Lafferty's objection with gesture OF
the arm.
