Y., Jan. 5.—District At- ’ torney Weeks expects to prosecute Thomas Mott Osborne on a supersed- ing indictment charging mismanage- ment stronger even than the indict- ment of six counts which the West- chester county Grand Jury voted last Tuesday. Mr. Weeks expects to bring Mr. Osborne to trial within a month. The District Attorney refused to di- vulge the nature of the new evidence he has gathered, which he believes will persuade the Grand Jury to vote a stronger indictment soon after it reassembles a week from tomorrow, but it is said that it involves the war- den personally, and will apply to the th count, of the mismanagement indictment, which charged immoral- ity. Unable To Plead. It was because of this new evidence that Mr. Osborne was unable to plead to the original indictments which he | went to White Plains yesterday from Auburn to do. For the same reason George Gordon Battle v denied ac- cess to the Grand Jury minutes to prepare a defense and so Mr. Osborne went to Sing Sing to talk to his friend, Warden Kirchwey. There is a possibility that Mr. Os- borne’s visit to the prison may have stirred up more trouble for him as Superintendent of Prisons Riley as- sured Mr. Weeks that the former war- | den would not be allowed to go to the prison. Dean Kirchwey said, how- ever, that he had received no such or- der from Supt. Riley. Lunches With New Warden. Mr. Osborne had lunch with Dean Kirchwey and was consulted by the new warden in regard to several mat- ters of prison policy. Dean Kirchwey said afterward that he would consult Mr. Osborne frequently in such mat- ters. There was an effectionate greeting between Mr. Osborne and ‘Tough Tony” Mareno, his valet, who disap- peared on Saturday night and re- turned last night, having been per- suaded by ex-convicts that it was not fair to Mr. Osborne to run away. M Osborne put his arm around Ton: neck and the two sat and talked for a half hour in a corner of the war- den’s office. A little later Dean Kirchwey and Principal Keeper Dorner decided that Tony must serve two vears and two months more than his regular term, which would have expired in two vears and he transferred to the cell block and a prison workshop from his | old job in the office as a penalty for his escape. Mr. Osborne before New York, whence he will return to Auburn, seemed not at all discon- rted at the predicted stronger in- dictment. “They’ll be indicting me departing for ally. Riley Indignant. Albany, Jan. 4.—John B. Riley, State Superintendent of Prisons, S indignant yesterday when he read | statements purporting to come from | Dean Kirchwey, the new warden of ! Sing Sing prison that he was merely | the temporary occupant of a position which Mr. Osborne would again sume after his exoneration of charges made against him by Grand Jury of Westchester county. As soon as Supt. Riley read this he had a talk by telephone with Den Kirchwey. The Superintendent said later that Dean Kirchwey insisted he had been misquoted and misrepresent- ed in the newspapers; that he fully understood he was the actual warden of Sing Sing and that if he had any as- the the fiin | and tax collector of Greenwich | ola, and i doubt about it Supt. Riley had made the fact plain over the telephone. The State Prison Commission meets today in the Capitol and it is be- lieved Dr. Rudolph F. Diedling of Saugerties will bring up for consid- eration his report scoring the manage- ment of Sing Sing prison under War- den Osborne which the commission refused to act upon at its last meet- ing.
