Frank Conley former warden of Deer Lodge State Penitentiary is cleared of most state claims in an accounting suit. Judge A J Horsky rules the state may recover only $65.12, offset by counterclaims of $423.18, leaving Conley set to receive $558.06 plus his trial costs. The decision also absolves prison board members from 1908 to 1921 of liability and highlights a lengthy, tedious trial with Conley expressing satisfaction with the outcome.
