persuaded on any account TO give out
false statement. knowing IL TO be false, to
visit the institution and make and ex-
animation of the prisoner. At my request
he went there, unaccompanied by me,
stated his object, was admitted, made the
examination and made a report oi the
same to the Board OF Pardoue Iiis
statement WAS direct opposite OF the
statement made by the workhouse physi-
clan. In doing this did nothing more than
any other attorney IN the proper perform
ance of his duty would have done.
So your honors can readily see that n
little less hasty examination and little
less desire on the part OF someone to IN
jllre me, might have resulted in the whole
truth of these matters being presented TO
the Grand jury.
The board of trustees have had to bear
the blame for many things for which II Is
not in anyw Use accountable-for instance
james Nields was lately sentenced 10y
your Honorable Court and committed
to the board of trustees OF the New Castle
county workho,se. After this sentence IN
place of our warden being permitted to
receive him into his custody and convey
him to the workhollse as directed by the
court Attorney General Reinhardt took
him in possession, handed him over TO one
or his State detectives and permitted him
to go to the Hotel du Pont and partake oi
a meal. The board of trustees OF the work
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-01-16

/ do, would have naturally demurrcd, as
an Individual member OF the board, to
| having such report made to the police
| authorities.
1t has ALWAYS been considered weak
spot in our prison system In the opinion
| of each and every one of the trustees who
| have at any time been connected with the
management of the New Castle county
| workho,Isc, that no society existed that
could or would take charge of, and look
after, prisoners when they left the work
house, so as to advise them along proper
lines-trying TO secure work for them and
see that they did not fall back into their
old manner of living. Unfortunately we
have no such society. l never did, and do
not now think, that in lieu of such so
cietv to look after the possible better
ment Of these men when released from the
New Castle county workhouse, they, be
cause they had made mistakes and had
| been convicted of Il crime or mlsdt meanor,
should bc considered as outcasts and given
no chance for reformation Nor do think
that as soon as discharged from fhe jail
they should be continuously bounded and
under the suryei lance OF the police ana
detectives and so cause them to believe
that society had no further Use for them;
that 10 all intcnts and purposes the only
avenue open was to return to their old
manner of living and try to outwlt and
cheat the police and detectives. This, OF
course, would not apply to confirmed and
hardened criminals and | cannot see any
reason why the proper authorities should
not be notified Immediately at the time OF
their discharge from the wOrkhorsc. Ol
course if your Honors think that 1t is bet
ter to have the names of discharged
prisoners Immediately upon their release,
submitted TO the police authorities, | am
willing. notwithstanding my personal
views, TO act as your Honor should de
sire.
PHOTOGRAPHS AND FINGER PRINTS
The fifth charge cited against me was
that had refused the request OF Warden
Cross and Sergeant Green Of the Detective
Bureau to permit the said Sergeant Green
to visit the workhousc and 10 take
photographs and finger prints Of the in
mates thereof and, by my refusal, had
prevented thus being done. remember
saying upon one occasion, whether to
Sergeant Green or not am not sure, that
my opinion was that after a man had been
duly convicted and sentenced 10 the work
house, the board OF trustees had no power
to permit any person SO committed to
their charge, to sec anyone when he had
expressed desire that he did not care to
see such q one, that | also thought that
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-01-16

we had no power to permit someone from
the outside to come in and take his photo
graph and fingcr-prints If he, the prisoner,
objected to the same. This was merely an
expression of belief as one member of the
board of trustees, and so far as | know
never any request was made by the De-
tective Department, Attorney-G General
Reinhardt or anyone else to the board of
trustees for such permission. In addition
to that, in order TO refresh my recollection.
| went over the matter with Mr.. Leonard
Crawford, who was warden of the insti
tuition up until the carly part of 1915. He
called my attention To the fact that the
board OF trustees had already established
such department In the workhoilse
proper; that we had authorized and in
structed him to purchase and secure the
necessary Photographic instruments, etc,
and that he had done so; that during the
balance Of his term OF office he had an ex-
pert operator taking the photographs of
the prisoners within the workhousc and
that he had himself been taught Ivy this
operator to carry on the work and that he
had done this up until the time he had re-
signed from the wOrkhouse.
The sixth charge against me is as FOL
lows;
Upon one occasion a prisoner was
applying for pardon and was represented
by Mir Ball One of the grounds Of the
petition was the health of the prisoner.
The workho,lse physician examined the
prisoner and found him fairly healthy.
Then Mr. Dali, without any authority or
permission of anybody and without noti-
fication to the workouse physician
had his client examined 10y two outside
physicians who gave certificate of poor
health which certificate was used with
the petition for pardon. The party
presenting this matter to the Grand jury
relied on his imagination for his facts and
his memory for his figures. In the first
place, IL was not man who was making
the application, but n woman. In the
second place there was no examination
made by two outside physicians. The
fact, Of tho case arc simply these:
An application had been made for the
pardon Of a prisoner One of the cariscs
assigned was the i'll health Of the prisoner.
The workhollse physician stated that she
was in fair condition ] thought the Board
Of Pardons to whom the application was
made, needed further proof Of the physical
condition Of the prisoner and asked DIR

MILLIONAIRE SLAIN BY WOMAN
AFTER HE HAD SHOT HER
IN SHOULDER.

PARTIAL CONFESSION OF WOMAN
FIXES IDENTITY OF MURDER
OF LOS ANGELES MAN.
western Newspaper Union New. ssrvio..


Los Angeles, Oct. 20.-A Spanish
woman he shot through thes houlder
In a quarrel at breakfast IN his fash
iohable home the morning of June z.
killed Jacob Charles Denton, million
aire mining man, with the aid of a
man accomplice, Mrs. r. G. Peete of
Denver, Denton's former housekeeper,
declared in partial confession of
knowledge of the crime made to dep
uty district attorneys.
Who this woman OF mystery is, the
authorities will not disclose, but they
declared the statement given by Mrs.
Peete has furnished information which
Will lead to speedy arrests. The wom-
an, it is said, was one whom Denton
had Tilted after she had importuned
him to marry her.
Throughout the night of June 1 Den
ton and the woman quarreled In his
elaborate home ut 675 Catalina street,
and the quarrel was still going ON
warmly when the pair breakfasted in
the kitchen the following morning, ac-
cofding to Mrs. Peete's statement. As
climax to the tilt, Denton drew a
revolver and shot the woman through
the shoulder.
Greatly enraged, Denton left the
house and was gone about an hour.
Meanwhile the woman telephoned from
the home to man, who hurried there
before Denton had returned.
When the mining man did appear,
the man and woman killed him, ac-
cording to the report of Mrs. Peete's
statement given out by the district at
torney's office. The method of killing
him has not been disclosed.
After Staying him, the man and
woman carried the body TO the cellar
and buried 1t In crypt, said to have
been used for storing liquors, where 1t
was found three months later.
Mrs. Peetes story established the
identity of the persons she declared
had caused Denton's death, the district
attorneys believed, and they believe
they know where to find the pair she
described Arrests are expected mo
mentarily.
Evidence tending to show that Den
ton was murdered with robbery as a
motive has been discovered, 1t was said
at the district attorneys office. This
evidence, it was said, included the
finding of n clot of dried blood under
the llnoleum in the Denton kitchen,
near the door leading to the cellar,
where his body was found Sept. %.
The district attorney does not CON
slider Mrs. Peete's partial confession
as a complete explanation of the crime
but gives it Importance on the ground
that it is an opening for complete
statement later.
"There are certain angles of this
which will have to. be checked up" said
District Attorney w. @. Doran, "bui
these details are of such nature that
they can be checked.
