While it 18 true that they were before the commit tee, not one of them attempted to explain awiy the charges, but instead of doing so | they tried to suppress testimony and retard the work of the committee, not only doing this themselves, but going so far as to do everything possible to bring about a white- report The testimony that the men offered when | the committees shows that at th they had an oppor- tunity to clear their skirts, but that the preferred to cover up, instead of disclose, the real fu in_connection with the cell house and the hospital investigation. When Allen Was on the Stand, Beginning with J. C. Allen, the whole of his testimony before the committes shows conclusively to the minds of the most of the people of this city that there was something which he wanted to cover sodeep that it would never see the light of day When asked, {fow often did Dorgan ro- port to the commissioner of public lands ana ulldings? " he replied, As the examination procecded every an- swer showed the gross negligence of the board, and there was no explanation offered, To prove this the testimony is reproduced and is as follows “Were the plans adopted before work v the cell house “I do not think they superintendent, had the self.” “The and as commenced specifications upon the him. were; D plans d gan awn board had nothing to do with the the architect ipon the plans as prepared. I could ne ) “They were nev with f’uur knowledge *I do not remember. “If the plans were submitted to the board, , would know it?" presented to the board “Is it usualin blding public buildings for the plans and specifications to be submitted 10 the boa 1 I guess whe tract we have always plans.” “I have been informed that there isa charge against Mr. Dorgan to the effect that the charge for certain public work for the convict labor of certain work that was never done by convicts. Do you know that applied to the cell house’” *1donot.” No Check Kept on Dorgan. “What did the board do towards verifying h}r. Dorgan's report of laber done by con- victs?" Well, we had no way of verifying that.” Yo you know what rate the state was to pay for the convict labor on the building?” “One dollar per day “Then if I understand you correctly, Mr. Allen, the records of your oftice, as a’ mem- ber of the Board of Public Lands and Build- ings, do not show whether the work charged against the state on that building was really done or not?" “Only a8 the vouche ““T'hese vouchers are vouchers made out by Mr, Dorgan himself; no other verification?” “Yes, sir.”” “How was it with the material?" “T undertook to superintend chase of the material.” “As a member of the board do you know what material was purchased and the prices pad " *No, sir." *You don't know anything about the stone work-—stone purchased "' “Nothing about it.” ‘13 the work on the cell house tinished?” “No, sir."” “Do you priation ha “I do not.” “Do you know if “I think there i His Memory Also Bad, “Did the board give Dovgan any directions as to what kind of a building it wanted con- structed?” “Do not remember; forget that transac- tion.” “Wat it agreed that any particular plan should be remembered ™ *1 do not remember. “Was it ngrecd whashenld be the archi- tect?" “Tdo not think it was.” “How did it happen that the board ap- pointed Dorgan to do this work?" *He was an applicant for it: he was there on the ground ; his services offered to the board and it appoiuted him.” Of course the board knew he was repre- senting the prison contractor?” ‘Yes, sir. ! “Was there any > we build by con- vassed upon the the pur- Jnow how much of the appro- been disbursed 1 ny of it remains?" question raised as to whether his duties agent of the the contractor would conflict with his duties as agent of the board " *1 do not remember.” “Do you remember if there was any agroe- ment or understanding with the board?" “1 cannot remember; if there was any plan (it was left to Dorgan’s judgment.” “Do you remember what salary was paid to Dorgan " “kifty dollars per month.” That is rather a small salary?” Yes, si “How did it happen that it was so low?"? “1 suppose that he represented to the “board that he could do the work for that." “The board afterwards paid Mr. Hopkins L] JGI’ wmonth?" s, si ‘At the time Dorgan was dismissed as superintendent were his vouchers and ac- counts settled " " %I do not think they were; the board neyer had any final settiement with him,” No Effort at Self Defonse. Thus having closed the examination, Mr. Allen, as secretary of state and a member of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings, never offered a word in explanatior, nor did he in any wuy offer to assist the committee in making the investigation, although he well knew that the men before whom he ‘was testitying were there to pass judgment and decide whether or not impeachment arges should be returned to the legisla- ture against himself and his associates, Shortly after Mr. Allen left the commi tee room, A. R. Humphrey, the commi: sioner of publ and” buildings, was called as a witnes: he might tell wha he knew about the irregularities at the penitentiary, but without volunteering any formation or making any sugeestions, he mply submitted to the interrogations by the members, The examination was as fol- ioner Humphrey Knew. “Will you be kind enough to state whether the appropriation of $40,000 made in 1801 for the construction of a cell house has been ex- pended?” “I cannot teil you," answered the commis- sioner. *'I haveono record of the expenditure ,of the board; the record is kept by the secre- tary of state. ‘ouare a member of the board?” “Iam the president.” “Is the moncy expended under the direc- tion of the board?" “Yes, under the direction of the board, and vhrough its foreman in the building of the cell house under the per diem rate.” ““‘What proportion of the work on the cell house could not be done by convicts?" T could not tell you." “You did not advertise for bids nor let any contracts?”" “*No, sir.” “‘You state, I belleve, that this work was done under superintendency “Under a superintendent appointed by the board.

Warden Duston has sent out the invitations to the witnesses that are to attend the execution of the young medical student. It seems likely that the execution will take place Monday before 10 o'clock. Harris passed a very restless night. He arose early this morning, and, after eating quite a hearty breakfast, he smoked several cigar- ettes while he chatted pleasantily with the death watch. To them he re- peated what he had told his folks, that he would meet death calmly and not create any scene before or at the time of his execution. Despite the assurances of his relatives, Harris has given up all hope. He seemed to derive pleasure from the prospect of & visit from his parents.
