'The Man Who Played the Iowa Peni- tentiary for All It Was Worth, An Exposition of the Most Thorongh and Economleal ‘Lhievery on Records Just What Thero Is in a State Prison When Well Bqueezod for Bix Yoara, Dusvque, In, June 16.—The Jerald thla morn{ng publishes tho full repors of the Commis- slon appointed at the late seasion of the Legis- Inture to exdmine into the affairs ot 8. 1L Cralg, Iato Wanden of the Fort Madison, In., Penitentiary, Mo held the position for six years. The Coinmlssion counsisted of 8. L. Bestow, - C.- E, Bronson, H. W, Gleason, J. A. Inracl, ana J. W, Mites. .Their roport was com- pleted and snbmitted to the Qovernor on the 14th. Tho Commission say they werchampered in thelr work by a temporary Injunction pro- cured by Cralg, and, though the aame was soon dissolved, It had the effect to delay them scveral days, and crippled ‘thelr cffurts by causing witnesses to beliove that the Commis- slon had no authority to compel thelr attend- ance, several of whom for that reason refused to appear ant testify, Cralgand the Clerk of the prison, H. Ulay Stuart, ADVISED WITNESSES NOT TO TRSTIFY. and sought In other ways to prevent the real facts being obtalned. Notwithstanding the obstacles thrown {n thelr way, tho Commission flad that Craig conspired withsundry and divers parsons to defraud tha State out of large sums of money and property, and hasso defrauded it. Mo wholly failed and neglected to comply with thae statutes which require that once a year s- timates sball be made of tho quality aud quan- tity of all food, clothing, fuel, sud articles for tho uso of the prison, and advertised for, aud contracts lot to the towcst bldder, and that all bills for tho samo shall bo exhibited to the Clerk and entered Inn book provided for the samo, Instead of this, large purchases wero made, vear after year, of the eame partios, who wore pormitted to fix their own prices, and NO INQUIRIKS WARH NVER MADE NY CRAIG to learn whether ho was boing overcharged, and, os tho resnlt proves, he pald thom from 20 to 100 per cent more for largo wholeralo pur- chasea thian tha retall deslers {n” Fort Madison” charged for the same goods sold him and others during the same time. The whole amount stolen excoods 8200,000. Bills of suvplies were not taken, compared, and entered up, as discet- cd by law. Liad theso requircmenta beon com- plied with, and the Warden and his elork been houest, tliey wonld have discovered that a largo number of bills contained items of merchau- aise for which many thousands of dollars were charged to and pald for by tho Stato thay wero never snipped to or recelved at tho Ponitentiary, a8 Is concluslvoly proven. Bllls were altered or new oncs substituted tosuit the purpose mouths after they were first rocelved. Duriog the alx years of his Wardonship tho Stats made large appropriations for the ercctlon, repalrs, and fm- provemnents of tho Peunftentiary grounds and bultdings. In expendidg these amouuts, Cralg bas refralned from rocelving bids, and lias HESISTED TIOBR WO WIsIED TO DID. Had Cralg fovited compotition, thousands of dollars would bave boen saved to tho State.

During hls entiro admioletration he has pald out of Btate funds nucarly all of his family ex- penses, Including houschold goads, grocerie dry guods, Loots and shoes, clothing, school books, cte,, and has scot large qunnluluu of merchandiso 50 pald for to his farm near Far- ragut, Jo., for which the Btate has recclved no crodit, ‘ho Commissionors' roport thon entors at great length Into the detalls cllcited by tho tes- clmony, showing particular inatances whera tho 8tate 'has been defrauded and the Warden and his frionds cnrichod through corrupt, unlawful means. le has kupt four to six cows, and sold the butter to the Btate, haying hisservants llfl‘;l tho vouchors, Ilo has Kept thres horscs an ONE NUNDRED AND FIFTY 11008, which were fed at tho oxpensa of theState.
