Lively Senate Row Over Northern Prison Probe
A heated Friday session in the Indiana Senate featured heckling and battle lines as Governor Hovey pressed for a probe into the Northern Prison finances, with accusations that $22,000 from prison earnings was misused.

In the House, similar tempers surfaced but with less intensity as lawmakers debated the committee size for the prison investigation and the funding to run the legislature.
