were derelict in their duty. At the time, Colonel Osborn said, Chaplain Smith had considerable to say about the management of the prison which the directors found to be in- correct. It was decided at the time that the chaplain should be dis charged, but, Colonel Osborn ex- plained. the chaplain promised to exercise greater care in his state ments and to work in harmony with the management for the betterment of the inmates.
 Chaplain Still Talked
 The colonel said that he was aware that Chaplain Smith had had some thing to say in recent months and in various ways had indicated that he was not keeping the promise to at tend to his own duties as chaplain. The colonel said that the directors also were aware of what Dr. Smith had been doing and it was decided that he be paid off as of October 1 and released.
 Today in the New Haven Journal Courier Colonel Osborn, the editor referred to an article by the former chaplain. The colonel said in part:
 We should have paid no atten- tion to it because of its obvious malevolence. but when its context is made use of by candidates for office as means of attacking the party in power, silence becomes impossible" !"
 Colonel Osborn also wrote that Chaplain Smith prepared the article and that he wrote in retaliation of fancied wrongs done by him by the prompt acceptance of his resignation by the directors for reasons not complimentary to his period of service"
 Paonessa Using Statement
 Col. Osborn also pointed out that the Smith article, which asserted brutality in punishment of prison in- mates, was being used by Angelo Paonessa, of New Britain, demo- cratic nominee for sheriff of Hart ford county in his campaign with out any other warrant than the printed page"

 Former Deputy Warden Patterson, discharged after the escape of pris- oners. has said that one of the reasons for his discharge was that he protested against punishment in- flicted on a man who was in solitary confinement which consisted of manacling to a ring in the cell.

NERVOUS M0TORIST
 PROMISES TO QUIT
Fined After Double Accident, SWears Not to Drive Again
Especial to the Herald)

Newington, Oct. IT - Maurice Reardon of 142 York street, New , Haven, but formerly of Rutland. Mass, was arraigned in town court last night before Justice of the Peace D. Stanley Wells and charged with reckless driving and evading responsibility. He pleaded guilty on both counts.
 On September IT at 9 p. m. Reardon, who was driving on the Berlin turnpike near the Circle dance hall. in northerly direction. struck car being driven by Sam Magno of 24 South Quaker lane, West Hartford. He failed to stop to ascertain the damage. Continuing on his way, he struck another car be- ing driven by William Shultz of PA Wethersfeld avenue about a half mile from his first collision. Both cars were overturned and damaged considerably.
 State Policeman Zekas made an investigation but could not find where Reardon had disappeared. Reardon stated he had secured em- ployment in New Haven and report ed to the New Haven police depart ment about the case, but as the ac- cidents had happened out of their jurisdiction no action was taken by them. Officer Zekas arrested Rear don on Saturday, October II. a lit- tie less than a month after the &C., cident.
 Reardon was represented by At torney George F. Hanrahan of Hartford, who stated that Reardon was a man of very nervous tempera- ment. Reardon said that headlights of a passing car had blinded him and he was not aware of the serious ness of his first accident. also that he would never again drive an au- tomobile, as he now realized his ex- treme nervousness.
 Judge Welles fined him $25 for reckless driving and $50 for evading responsibility but remitted $25 of this fine.

just what truth there is in these malevolent statements"
Osborn Calls Meeting

Hartford, Oct. IS R@A meeting of the board of directors of the state prison at Wethersfield was called by Norris G. Osborn, pres- dent of the board for this noon at the institution, in Wethersfield to act upon charges that there are extraordinary modes of punishment in force there:-
 Colonel Osborn said, before de- parting for Wethersfield. that he was ready to ask the directors to demand an immediate investigation of the charges made by Rev. Dr.. William H. Smith. former chaplain. one of which was that inmates placed in solitary confinement are often shackled to the bars of their cell.
 The colonel also said he would ask the directors to demand an in- quiry right out in the open, no star chamber proceedings" He said at nc time were the directors anl the prison management in better shape to meet any charge that the prison is not conducted in a humane way. Warden Reed Returns Warden Charles s. Reed who has been in the west returned night before last. Colonel Osborn said his return was not influenced by publication of an article credited to Dr. Smith in which he asserted in- mates were treated with brutality. but he returned because his mis- sion had been completed.
 Colonel Osborn said Chief Clerk Edward c. Geissler has not been acting warden in the absence of MT. Reed, as had been asserted. Colonel Osborn said that the present controversy over prison 1 management arises out of the es- l cape of three prisoners-Moulthr Lalone and Landry-last January In the inquiry which resulted Deputy Warden George E. Patter- son and several guards were dis ] charged because 1t was shown they

institution, and from his own ob- servation at the prison, the charges were without foundation. The gov ernor said he had visited the prison probably more than any other of the state institutions, and nothing had ever come to his attention while there to indicate that prison CTS were mistreated.
 An announcement from Hartford last night purported to indicate that the state department of public vel rare would make what was describ- ed as "a sweeping investigation of punlshing the prison inmates who disobey disciplinary rules" It was Mir. Hadley of the department who conducted an inquiry recently into conditions at the Connecticut School for Boys at Meriden.

 MT. Hadley. who was mentioned as the one to conduct the inquiry" " tooay gave denial to the report that there was to be an investigation stating he had had mo information regarding unwholcsome condition" in the instituation.
 smith in. his article had referred to "black hole" which he said the men called a dungeon. Smith add ed this comment on that place: How men keep sane down there IS a mystery to me. To all appear ances there's no light and very lit tie air.
 Mir. Hadley says that he has in hand a report of the prison direc- tors to Governor Trumbull in 1923 which said: "The punitive system of prison management has gone for ever. In it's place has come a sys- tenn, not yet perfected, in which the humanities are stressed and the square deal enforced"

CAPONE CHARGES
WILL Be DROPPED
Miami Official to Quash
Two Perjury Accusations
Against GangSter.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI. Fla, July 16.-County Solic-
itor George McCaskill announced yes
terday that two perjury charges against
"Scarface" Al Capone, Chicago gang
chieftain, will be dropped because
they cannot be successfully prosecuted"
McCaskill said he would enter a
formal order to nolle PROSE- the pro-
ceedingS.
Capone was acquitted Saturday by a
directed verdict of Criminal Court Judge
E. C. Collins in the first of three per-
jury charges which grew out of his ar
rest here several weeks ago.
McCaskill said he believed Judge Col
Inns reason for ordering Capone de-
clared not guilty in the first case would
hold good in the others should they
be brought to trial.
Judge Collins held Capone within his
rights to alter testimony he had given
in false arrest case against S. D. Nc
Creary, director of public safety of
Miami, despite the fact that the perjury
warrants already had been sworn out,
because final decision in the false ar
rest case had not been given at the
time
The quashing of the two remaining
perjury cases brings to an end, for the
present, at least, the official campaign
inaugurated by Dade County and the
City of Miami to drive the gangSter
from residence in his $250,000 palace on
exclusive Palm Island at Miami Beach.
Capone has been involved in some
phase of the "ousting" litigation since
he arrived here April 20 for what he
announced at that time was a two
weeks vacation.
He recently declared he was wearied
of the assaults upon his freedom by
off1cialdom of this vicinity, and said
he would return to Chicago as soon as
the perjury cases were disposed of. One
of his attorneys, j. F. Gordon, quoted
Capone as saying he would not be run
out of Miami. However, it was expected
Capone will prepare Immediately to
leave for Chicago.
