ToMakeabride Many a woman would sort of business will never do.” Clerk Oliver was instructed to notify Estudillio &4nd Aguirre to appear before the board at the next meeting prepared to fully explain. Francisca Gardelll was the first con- vict to give testimony. He said in sub- stance: “A long time ago I received a draft from my folks in Italy for 250 francs, or $4750. I indorsed it and gave it to McClure to place to my credit. Later on I received another letter stating there was an express package for me. 1 asked about it and McClure said it had been received, but that I could not have it for a few days. In a few days 1 asked again. He then said there was nothing for me. I was suspicious just before McClure left the prison. I asked board. It is the first time in two years that I have had any way to find out how I stand. Jt is bad enough to be in prison, but to be robbed of the lit- tle money I had’is pretty tough. About two years ago last August I gave Mc- Clure $22 25. I was about to leave the prison on parole and wanted a few things bought for me, especially a few vards of cloth. I got the cloth all right, but from McClure I could never find out how much balance T had to my credit. When he left I asked Estudillio and he stated I had 10 cents. I could not understand how the cloth consumed all my money, so I asked Warden Aguirre. I could get no satisfaction whatever from him. I wrote letters to Aguirre with the same result. I wrote eight letters to the board, but never tiful bride hut she is de- terred from entering the married state because of ill- health. REWARD FOR WOMNEN ‘WHO CANNCT EE CURLD.

Some convicts to-day declared to the | members of the board that they had received money from various sources, turned it over to either Estudillio or McClure to place to their credit, but later found out that it had never been done. One man asserted that he had indorsed a draft for $47 50 and gave it to McClure to keep for him. There is no record upon the prison books &f any such -transaction. The convict, how- ever, has a registered letter telling that the money was sent to him, and there is some doubt about the testimony of the confined men. The matter came up first during the open session this morning. Letters were read from John Willlams and Francisca Gardelll stating that they had given money to prison officers to keep for them, but that subsequently they ascertained it had never been placed to their credit. The letters called forth exhaustive discussion from the members. “This is a bad piece of business,” said Chairman Fitzgerald, “and we must sift it to the bottom. We will in- vestigate it and take testimony in open session this afternoon.” The board was surprised at the in- formation obtained. Warden Tompkins also informed the board that a certain woman had given money for the pur- ‘| chase of books for the library, that the money had been turned over to Mec- Clure, but that the books had never been purchased. “Well,” said Director Felton, “I have investigated this thing, too, and we should. make every effort td ferret it out. We can’t get McClure, as he is in Africa, but Estudillio is in San Fran- cisco. He should be notified to appear before this board and satisfactorily ex- plain this business, and the sooner the better. Warden Aguirre is responsible for his subordinates, too, and should also be notified. We are responsible that prisoners get their monmey. This ! heard whether they received them or not.” “They were not received,” proclaimed the chairman, “else this matter would | have certainly been looked into.” —_————————— about my $47 50.
