Penitentiary scandal tops New Mexico political plot
A long exposé recounts a year of turmoil over New Mexico peniten tiary management, detailing a closed door inquiry, a public uproar, and a mandated reform that shifted control to a new seven member board. It notes dismissals, resignations, and delays as the legislature pushes to purge misconduct. It also covers Senator Edmunds of Vermont resigning and broader 1890s western political shifts.
