Kirchwey Will Allow No Press Representatives at Execu- | prosperity and the Obviation tions Hereafter. ALBANY, Jan. 6.—Gov. Whitman ferday sent to the office of Superin-! Rendent of Prisons a letter demanding Whe Gmmediate resignation of Super “Pitendeat of Prisons John B. Riley. Be grounds given are interference WHR the administration of Wanton (irohwey by wholesale orders trans- @erring prominent members of the Mu- teal Welfare League to Dannemora Prison. Riley was at Sing Sing Pris- on when his subordinate received the Better and communicated the gist of §t to him by telephone. The text of the Governor's follows: “ “I have just been apprised of an order made by you directing the transfer from Sing Sing to the State Prison at Dannemora of ainty-six convicts, Some of these, as bas been customary, are trans- ferred as tubercular patients. Most of them, tt appears, have been or are at present prominently eonnedted with the Mutual W fare League of the prison and a regarded by the Warden as trust- worthy and necessary, under pres- ent conditions, for the proper ad- ministration of the affairs of the prigon. The Warden was not con- eulted at all in this matter. “It waa distinctly understood + when Mr. Kirchwey went to Sing Bing, which he did at our earnest letter solicitation, that he should be given opportunity thoroughly to familiarize himself with the con ditions, and, #0 far as practicabie, @hould have a free hand. “You know as well as I that a twansfer from Sing Sing to Danne- mora, except in cases of tuber- oular patients, 1s regarded as pun- ishment, and has been for years “Your drastic and precipitate action, without conferenco either with the Warden or with the Gov- ernor, it seems to me, — 1 bo in- @pired by but one motive, and its effect, as you must know, if car- ried out, must be to break down the administration and render the new Warden's position intoler- able. “I have felt and still fee) that tm your enfeebled condition of health you may not altogether realize the full effect of your offi- clal action on this and on other occasions, “But thiz order is so clearly a violation of our understanding and of the terms under which Dr. Kirchwey went to Sing Sin well ag, it seems to me, of your of- ficlal obligation to the people of this State, that I deem it my duty to ask for your immodiate revig- nation.” . ‘The full text of the Governor's let ter was telephoned to Supt, Ri Bing Sing by The Evening Wo “An order was issucd by me Jan, 4" he said, “ordering a considerable pumber of transfers from Sing Sing.
