 To ferret out the facts as to how rich bootleggers were spending their time in prison, special investigators were sent to Atlanta and for weeks they carried on. Warden Sartain, in a written statement declared they open ed his mail, tapped his telephone and spied on him in general. He said the whole business was frame up.
 When the investigators had finished warrants charging bribery were sworn out against Sartain and Fletcher and a special session of the grand jury was called. It is now probing the prison affairs. At the opening of the grand jury investigation, bootleg ger kings from three cities were call ed as witnesses but their testimony was kept secret. These leaders in their chosen calling were Emmanuel Kessler and Morris Sweetwood of New York, George Remus of Cincin- nati and Willie Haar of Savannah.
 Was Daugherty's Friend
 Sartain, the deposed warden, is a close friend of Harry Daugherty, for mer attorney general and short time ago was brought into the lime light when George Remus, millionaire bootlegger from Cincinnati, had new thought in regard to Daugherty. Re- mus, at his own request, was taken to Washington to testify against MT. Daugherty when the department of justice was under fire. Later he is- sued a statement saying that his tes- timony was all wrong and this brot forth the charge that Sartain being a friend of Daugherty, had coerced Re- mus into retracting his former testi- mony. All this Sartain has denied.
