Kincaids Plage at Washington Penitentiary Shocks State
M F Kincaid of Seattle resigns as State Board of Control chairman and is appointed superintendent of the Walla Walla penitentiary replacing A F Rees. The board cites grain bag purchases for speculation as the reason, while noting no personal profit by Kees. Rees denies resignation and vows a square deal amid political turmoil and ongoing investigations. A separate court scene in Ritzville shows Harry Sage, 48, pleading guilty to a forged check, receiving a short jail term after a dramatic courtroom display.
