Praises State Penitentiaary.
Pardon in hand Andy Milton cent
up from Norman April 20 1909 for
burglary is in Oklahoma City with
nothing but good words for the man-
agement of the McAlester penitenti-
ary. "If the investigation committee
wants evidence I stand ready to tentl-
fy at any time" said Milton Wednes-
day. "The penitentiary Is run on
the most human- lines possible In my
opinion" he added.
"I noticed a newspaper story re-
cently stating that Governor Haskell
was pardoning murderers freely. The
story was Inclined to prejudice the
public against the pardoning power
and was only partially true. Mort
Perkins named as pardoned is still
In prison. Tnomas Curtis one of the
two convicted of the murder of A. J.
Eyche In this county was never par-
doned but is still in. Newton Young-
blood named as pardoned was killed
In an attempt to escape. Investiga-
tion will show that most of tho charg-
es against the management are as
incorrect as this wa3." Oklahoman.
