Warden Landlord
Honest And Efficient

An investigation of the Maryland
House Of Correction by an expert
penoogist has just been completed
and the report made public.
Ii will be remembered that one
Eugene O'Dunne charged Mr.. Lark
ford with inefIiciency, brutality, and
everything else he could conjurc up
to injure Landlords reputation. His
charges have been disproved and
O'Dunne is discreditcd.
The report charged that three of
the guards were guilty of brutality,
and recommended they be discharged
which was done Immediately. The
tigator says that Landlord is
rough in Lis ways. but kind and CON
siderate to the prisoners and the
officers of the institution. The ac-
counts Of the House Of Correction are
declared to be kept in busincsS-like
way ard purchases of supplies have
been made To the advantage of the
institution without any political
favoritism.
We are no apologiStS for Mr. Lank-
ford. bat he is native of Worcester
County and he has been so grossly
misrcprcsented that il becomes oul
duty to tell the people the truth
about him.
