McCUuihry. warden at Laavanworlh, In reaponaa to query regarding tha rumor that Todd waa to be releaaed, writes in a letter received yesterday: Good Prisoner, Writes Warden. 9 "Todd a reoerd aa a orlaoner haa thus far been Clear.' He la considered one of the beat behaved men In the prison. His hoe.lt H la about normal. I have beard nothing from any quarter, how ever, to the effect that he la about to yeoelve ' pardon or 'commutation of sentence, nor Indeed, have I beard that Be wae making application for the same. If he le working In that direction. It most be through his friends on the out side." Marked Coins Convict Kim. Todd used a shotgun and tha regula tion methods In hla holdup of the stage. Among the paaaengera on the atage was Chinaman, who art er era awore tnai he waa deprived of marked coins, and It Waa the possession of these coins which the Chinese pesaenger eald he had which waa practically the sole evidence against Todd. The holdup occurred In Cow creek canyon, Todd performing the Job sin gle handed. A few days after the crime, Todd waa arrested In a aettler'a cabin In the canyon by Frank P. Hogan. then sheriff of Douglas county. He had all Of the etolen money on hla person. A Chapter In the case was written even after Todd had eerved aeveral yeare of hla sentence at McNeil's Island, when Hogan went to the penitentiary to vtalt him. As Hogan appeared at the open Window of Todd'a cell the embittered convict etruck him a terrible blow over the head with a bottle filled with water, felling him to the floor. This blow waa declared by acquaintances of the doomed man to be the revengeful stroke Of outraged Innocence, and created much comment. But as Tood was already in for life. It could not further lengthen hla term. New Plant to Be Closed, But It ' Will Probably Not Be Razed , Is' Up to New Mayor. "We are sot stuck, but stilt have the old crematory plant", eald CJty Health Officer a. IL Wheeler yesterday afternoon. 'The Public Works Engl Bearing company wanted the city to tear down the old plant after the new one had been constructed, but I fore aaw that we might yet need the old burner nd would not eenssnt to Its being rased. The city health board yssterday, feev Ing refuaed to accept the new Inciner ating plant at Oulld s lake on acooun of numerous defects In the burner, the Publlo Works Engineering company an nounced In a letter that the new plan would be closed down today and would remain so Indefinitely unlees the city should agree to permit the crematory to be operated hereafter under the su pervlslon of the contractor. Crematory Superintendent Napier haa kept the old plant In readlnees for any emergency and It will be started up this afternoon. - It wilt burn at forced capacity about 41 tons day, This will mean that 10 or 7? tens day will have) to bs piled upon . the dump. If Ue administration of Mayor Ruahllght should reject the new incln erator, It would have to be torn down and bids for a new one Invited. In that case It would be at least six months before another new plant oould be bunt There la little likelihood, however, that such action will be tak en by the next regime. The dty has already paid 110.000 of the cost of tha new burner and before It oould be rased the contractor would have to re- urn that sum.
