It is understood that he does not abso
lutely demand their removal from Fort
Russell, but he insists that even there
they shall be in charge of a proper John
son county law officer. It is not known
how much longer the war department will
consent to maintain the prisoners at Fort
Russell, and when it refuses to hold them
any longer what disposition is to be made
of them? This with the present cost,
whatever it may be. are questions to be
considered.
It is likewise said that as an alternative
he suggests that the prisoners be trans
ferred to the penitentiary at Laramie for
safe keeping in the event that they and
the governor so elect. It is probable that
the judge refers to an unused portion of
the penitentiary where they would be en
tirely by themselves.
The matter io a great extent rests with
the governor and his line of action has
not. yet been divulged.
