DEFER ACTION IN QUESTION IF EYT|NGE PAROLE
Remarkable Prisoner Who Now Asks Freedom Has Recovered Health and Built Up Fine Business While in Prison

Called up for consideration and de- ferred pending further investigation. the application of Louis V. Eyetinge for parole from the state penitentiary at Florence attained the most prog ress yesterday that it has made since the filing of it several days ago, &C., cording to reports brought here from Florence last night by Governor Thomas E. Campbell.
 The governor was at the Superior prison camp on Saturday and at Florence yesterday, in company with the state board of pardons and paroles. He is not an ex-officio mem- Der of the board, but has the authority to accept or reject the boards recom- mendations for pardons and paroles The board members are Wiley E. Jones, attorney general: c. o. Case, superintendent of public instruction; Chairman Curt W. Miller, citizen member, and Secretary Frank F. Me- Crary.
 Eyetinge is rated one of the most remarkable conVicts in the United states. having succeeded during his term in prison in amassing fortune and recovering his health. He came here several years ago, bringing a prison record from the east, and was afflicted with tuberculosis. Shortly after his arrival in Arizona he became implicated in the death of young man here and on circumstantial evil dence was convicted of murder, al- though he made no admissions.
 Recovered Health and Made Money
 A stalwart Indian convict, who en- 1 tered the penitentiary with him, died of tuberculosis within the year while Eyetinge in the same time was re- ported well. Eyetinge began making money as a sort of broker for the other convicts, his superior selling abilities enabling him to market the horse- hair trinkets that they made. In that 1 capacity he is said to have built up a fine business.
 His next venture was that of busi- ness adviser to all sorts of trade con- cerns throughout the country, prac- | tically all of his work in that line be- l ing done through the mails. He is said ! now to have an envfaDle practice, su- | perior to that, of many publicity mer who didn't happen to go to jail. | On claim of good conduct anG ability to take good care of himsel1 without the necessity of recourse tt such methods as he had been convicted of in the past, Eyetinge asked for pa role, but he found that his silver penned oratory" would not get ovel with the parole board as it did witt trade interests who showered theil money in order to learn business iron him.
 As his application for parole was no turned down by the board yesterday but merely deferred there is said tC be strong probability of further ac tion on the application at an earl! date.
 Studies Road Camp
 The state road camp at Superior where recent outbreak among thu prisoners resulted in the death of one is reported in fine order now. Gov ernor Campbell says he found tn esprit and morale at the camp yer! satisfactory and that every indication there pointed to a successful outcom of the states venture in providing em ployment for the prisoners.
 The camp is only SO days old, ant has S6 prisoners at work. Much 0 the road work at hand is in hart country. The men are said to be try ing, in every way possible, and it i con sidered probable that severa recommendations for parole will b submitted to the governor as a resul of the boards findings at Florenc yesterday.
 Despite the number of parole which have been granted from tim to time on recommendation of tn parole board, the population of tn prison is on the increase, it wa learned yesterday. On January 6, 191! when the present adninistratio took office. there were 250 state pris oners at Florence and in the roa camps. Today there are e07. o these 21S are confined in the prisor eight are out on honor and SC are em ployed on state road work.
