 NE WS OF CONVICTS
President Boyd Of Board Re- fuses To Reply To QueS-

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU !
 THE AfiE- k-S ,ALD MnnfRomery Ala. NOV. ~17 l

L. A. Boyd, president of the state board of convict supervisors, con tinues to withhold Information from the people of Alabama concerning happenings in regard to state con victs. The president has not re- covered from the piqued attitude which he began to display when asked for news about his department at the time the long suppressed information of the Banner floGgings was first made public. MT. Boyd has adopted the policy of not giving information to the public, or at least in convey ing that information through rep resentatives of The Age-Herald and Mobile Register.
 A typical example of Mir. Boyd's att titude toward giving the people in- formation regarding the public busi- ness was noted Saturday when rep resentative of The Age-Herald and the Register called at his office seek ing information on an important pub- lie mater. The man in the outer of flee greeted the newspaperman with ives, We have no news" or words to that effect. The reporter requested the office man to inform MT. Boyd that he wished an interview on specific subject the office men com piled, and returned with the state- menC MT. bOyu WAS III SuDStdHSo mot at home to the newspaper man. Aggricved over News Leak
 Mir Boyd's policy of isolation was adopted when the first news of the Banner Mutiny leaked out in Mont gomery. Before either The Age-Herald or the Register had printed a line on the Banner affair, reporter for the two papers in Montgomery saw M Boyd and asked him for some details as to the reported outbreak. The ln- terview elicited nothing but peeved expression from the head of the con vict department, whos walked to the elevator in the Exchange hotel and ascended to his room.
 As developments succeeded one another in rapid succession in the Banner episode, MT. Boyd grew more and more reticent. He was never communicative concerning the Banner affair, and finally refused to talk al- together.
 As a general rule. when a public official refused publicity in such resolute and determined manner as this, it Is taken as an indication that the situation must be desperate. Boyd however, appears to be still doing about as he pleases with the con- vict department. disregarding re- quests for public information as to Just WHdL HE AS WltH IL III LiAO same manner as he would if 1t were his own private sawmill, for example. as the work progresses and is conn pleted.
