was refusing to allow attorneys TO see
any of the prisoners until after the
prosecuting attorney and sheriff had
dealth with them. | asked him If he
did not know that that was in viola
ton of their legal rights and he re-
piled that he could not help it, that
he must obey the orders of his super.
iors.
Went TO Mass Meeting
II went from that conversation 10
mass meeting in the Masonic Hall
where the statement was made by a
large number present that permission
was being denied The prisoners vf see
ing their counsel. 4 committee was
selected with Senator Tucker as chair
man to visit the Jail to investigate
his and other charges. The committee
reclrncd with the report that Mr..
HODGE had informed hem that orders
had been given to allow the prisoners
Go see no one until after the prosecut-
ing attorney and the sheriff were
through talking with them. Mr.. Hodge
himself then appeared before the mass
meeting and in the presence of more
than 200 citizens stated that he had or
dcrs from the sheriff and prosecuting
attorney not to allow the prisoners
to see any one until after these Off
GERS had talked with them.
when asked where these officers
were, he said he did not know. When
asked as to when they would return
10 the city, he said he did not know.
When asked when these men would
be permitted TO talk with their coun-
sci he said he did not know, that he
was acting under orders Of his SUI
pcriors and therefore could not change
the orders. Relying upon the verify
of the information given me as above
outlined | made the statement which
the sheriff says was a falsehood. If
these persons above mentioned, togeth-
er with many others, have misrepre-
sented the facts to me and deceived
me I am very sorry and on being
convinced Of this will publicly beg
the sheriffs pardon.
