"A JUDGE WHO WENT TO JAIL." Oregon Neivs Via Colorado Who Is "Judge George Hayford"? TDenver Post, February 11. Judge George Hayford, of Salem, Or., has made a unique investigation of tha Oregon state prison. He was a recognized authority In criminal law below his ele vation 'to the bench and has served a term as attorney-general of his state. In every Tespect his standing is excellent. Since he became judge various reports have reached him of abuses in the state prison, cruelties practiced on prisoners and mea ger and poor fare given them. A3 to tho truth of these stories so circumstantially told as to appear to be absolute verity, he was unable by inquiry in his official capacjty to obtain satisfactory informa tion. Here, where a less determined and re sourceful man would have been stopped short, Judge Hayford began his real In vestigation. He doffed the ermine and went.to prison, a. prisoner, self-sentenced for contempt of court. A few friend3 only knew th0, secret It had tcrhe con fided to them to Insure the successful operation of the plan. No one at the Dr. C. L.

It is said Judge . Hayford found that what he suspected was true. Hais sow engaged in preparing a report for the prison authorities, in which he will out-- i line the discoveries he made and suggest a means of bettering the condition of tHe prisoners. Though the Information at hand of. Judge Hayford's undertaking ia Incomplete, it is sufficient to satisfy any one-of his devotion to duty and his origi nality of method. He certainly is worthy of the highest commendation, also, for the kindliness of heart that actuated him None of us desires to become a state en tertained visitor in a. penal institution. but we all do believe that prisoners should be humanely treated and subjected to no humiliating punishment that may tend to their further degradation.
