These men were all transferred from the Wyomwg prison on Stout's convict labor contract. Spear and Fierce had their sentences commuted to ten years which would expire Jauuary 1, 18%), and Raines’ sentence wouid not exviro until June 25,1804, A straugechain of ocircumn- stauces attend their discharge, and Toe Brw is the only paper able to get hold of the facts. = During Gov- ernor Nance's administration a law was passed forbidding the holding or receiving of convicts from other states and territorics after January 1, 1883, An amendment was secured to the original bill by W. H. B, Stout to take effect October 1, 1889, wiving him the privilege of holding those he had up 10 that time on condition that ho secured their discharge before that date. Having failed to secure their discharge as agreed the throe convicts referred to were the only onos left on hus hauds, alltho others being leased by limitation, pardon, commutation, or other- 1 o Dyer, the prison inspector of yoming, lavestigated the Nebrasia peni- tentiary, and_before leaving promised the warden that he would scoure the _discharge of the Wyoming conviots beld there if tie warden would recommend them for dis- charge, Warden Hopkins wrote a recom- mendation which, together with a copy of the law showing that he could not hold the Wyoming convicts after October 1, and that they could not be removed to Wyoizing, for- warded the papers to Governor Warren, of Wyoming. No action was taken by the Wyoming authorities ~ up to Octo- ber 1, and on that date the prisoners were discharged. The recom- mendation was . not _ackuowledged and the matter was ignored by the rovernor, the men were therefore discharged by the war- den. They were called from their cells on the morning of October 1 and told to pack up and leave, They were given no papers of discharge, and were advised to clear out of the state as soon as they could. Aun_authority on such matters was pre- sented with the facts, and said: *“The ques- tion arises in my mind whether or not the state could be_put to some troublo and ex- pense by the Wyoming authorities for releas- g these conviets, with unexpired sen- tences, without giving them the proper notification and_recewving permission to dis- charge them. And it seems to me that the state would still be under liability to expense should these convicts suo for false im- prisonment, and for mnot receiving from the prison authorities tne usual papers of discharge, which aro their only means of proving themsclves no longer con victs, The only way in which tho stat should such an eme arise, coutd pro- tect itself would be to look to Stout for the amount of damage which might arise in either casc, “Another question which might arise, it scoms to me, is, under whose instructions did Warden Hopkins discharge these men, and did he notify the territory of Wyomimgi If_he notified the territorial oMficials it looks rather strange that no instructions in reg to their disposal has boen received. At ull events there may be some interesting ques- tious to decide.” rrocv DING, Breathing the Germs o’ Disease.
