INVESTIGATING THE
INVESTIGATION

TT looks to us as though investiga-
1 ton was running mad in Helena
over the state prison affairs. Gov
ernor Dixon appointed one of his
chief supporters to investigate the
conduct of the state prison at Deer
Lodge after he had fired Frank
Conley as warden. This investi-
gator, a Kalispell attorney, investi-
gated the Conley administration
some $4,000 worth, drew his money
and retired from the case after
making public charges of a sensa-
tional character covering more than
two pages of newspaper fine print.
After giving publicity to the re-
port, Governor Dixon left the state.
Acting Governor Story, Jr., than
appointed a committee Of three,
two named by himself and one men,
Der suggested by Governor Dixon,
in a telegram to him, to investigate
the investigation which Frank Con-
ley denounced as concoction of
half truths, falsehoods, and deduc-
tions and insinuations which would
not stand up before the full facts.
Then the governor comes home and
adds four more men selected by
himself to add to the committee to
investigate the original investiga-
ton made by man selected by
himself-probably at large addi-
tional cost to the state.
We do not see any use for any
of this additional expense or new
investigation. The original investi-
gator says that Frank Conley has
misappropriated 100000 of the
states money. IF he has proof that
this is true, he should submit his
proof to the attorney general and
that official should bring suit to
recover it if he thinks the evidence
submitted sufficient to win the
case. If the investigator has not
got that sort of evidence he should
never have made the charges he
did: Governor Dixon has repeat
edly said that he instructed his in
vestigator not to make any charges
he could not prove in court. Did
Mr.. Mcdonald obey these instruc-
tions or not? IF he did, let him
turn over his evidence to Attorney
General Rankin and let that official
pass on its and see if it is of a
character to justify suit to re-
cover 100000 or not. If it is not
sufficient in the opinion of the at
torney general then the report OF
Mr.. Mcdonald is discredited to
that extent, and we might as well
know it and drop that feature out
of it. For the rest, the prison board
must finally act on the report. They
might as well do it now as to await
more Investigations that will con-
vince no one. The case is stepped
in prejudice as it stands. Another
investigating committee with five
out of the seven selected by Gov
ernor Dixon will have no more
weight when they report than the
report of his first investigator had.
The governor and the prison board
might as well stop fooling and play
ball. Let Frank Conley and his at
torneys appear before the prison
board and point out ali the injustice
they can find in ths first report
| and discrcdit it if they can. They
