DECLINE TO REPLY
Commissioners Not Ready to
Discuss Grand Jury Report.
SHERIFF WINS LONG FIGHT
Expected Ho Will Assume Control
of County Prisoners, as Hl
r-nMtion In Controversy Is
Completely Vindicated.
T!.e rrand jury report, wherein it
touches upon condition, of the prisoners
t Kelly Butt. nd the manaicement of
affairs at th county rockpile. mill at
tract tlie attention of the County Com
missioners and ?unty Judite L. R.
Webster today. Th report w a rtndl
catlon of the attitude of Sheriff Stevens
In oontendniB that hi authority to con
trot th. prisoners be recognised, and in
dications are. now that the flndlnirs hav.
been made puhltc. that Sheriff Stevens
will win out In his lone fight for control
of the convicts.
Neither Judco Webster nor Commis
sioner LJghtser wen willing to discuss
the outcome of the grand Jury's investi
gation. Mr. Llghtnex said that Sheriff
Stevens had never made a formal demand
that th. prisoners ba turned over to his
keeping. Sheriff Stevens, on the other
hand, says that he wrote a letter to th.
Commissioners in July, asking that the
matter of handling the prisoners be taken
up and expressed a willingness to meet
with th. Commissioners and Judgs
Webster to discuss the matter. One
Commissioner was willing to meet him,
the Sheriff says, but the others were not.
Judge Webster refused yesterday to Cls
cuss the report of the grand Jury until
th. entire report was placed before him.
He declined also to say whether he and
his Commissioners would act upon the
suggestion that Superintendent Brlggs
should be removed.
"W. have investigated many of th.
charges made against Brings." said
Judge Webster, "and in every Instance
we hav. found th. charge, false. Whether
the grand Jury has found additional
evidence against him I do not know.
Until I hav. read th. report. I would
rather not discuss the dismissal of
Briggs. We will call a meeting of the
Commissioners tomorrow, unless the
cases set for Monday will occupy all of
mr time, and we will take up th. grand
Jury's report at this meeting."
Sheriff Stevens, who has been contend
ing for more than two years for full con
trol of the prisoners, was naturally quit,
pleased at the Jury's report.
"So far as T am concerned. he said,
"I hav. always been willing to work in
harmony with the County Court for the
best interests of the people who elected
me to the office. From the beginning
of the controversy, I have had In view
no other end than the administration of
the affairs of th. Sheriff's office in ac
cordance with the law. My predecessor
In office had full custody and control of
the prisoners at all times, and was charg
ing the county 1TH cants a meal for
feeding them. My right to continue on
th. same lines was veil established by
law and precedent, but the County Court
exhibited such antagonism to me that
rather than percipitats a legal fight, I
temporarily waived my claim to full
custody of the prisoners until the Leg
islature would have an opportunity to
define exactly what were the duties and
rights of the Sheriff.
"The bill also provided for my feeding
the prisoners although the remuneration
was reduced from 17 cents a meal to
lSi cents a meal. After the bill became
a law. th. County Court Invoked the
referendum and attempted to defeat the
measure. The vote at the June election
sustained the bill by a two-to-one ma
jority. Soon after the result was known,
I notified each of the County Commis
sioners that I would like to have a con
ference with them In regard to the best
manner in which the prisoners could be
worked under the new law. In order
that there would be no misunderstanding
or misinterpretation of the law, I asked
that my attorneys be present at the con
ference. One of the Commissioners
verbally expressed a willingness to take
the matter up with me, but the others
made no reply-
"Th treatment which I hav. received
at the hands of the Commissioners in the
past, however, will in no way Influence
me in my de3ire to work harmoniously
with them in the future."
