Warden's Tirade Starts.
Warden Claaey'l tirade atrainst John
\ Henness> started when he was
asked about the flXpOflUTO Stilwell was
_a!d to have made to John A. Hen?
nessy In a six hours' confession tO Bul*
? ?er's chief prober.
That interview between Stllwell and
Hennessy did not last sixty minutes."
he said. "Hennessy ls a liar. He is
everything that is mean and misera
ble."
The reporter?, who knew of the long
standing friendship that existed be?
tween Clancy and Hennessy. com
mented on this. and asked why the
friendship was broken.
"Re.ause he put me in bad," said
Clamy He lied."
He .aid lt had no eonnection with
the Stilwell matter. and intimated that
the trouble started on September IM
ln Albany.
Pressed for an explanation, he Baid:
"1 may make a statement, and, then
again. I may never."
< me of the reporters suggested that
his attitude might be taken by the pub?
lic to mean that he had Hned up with
Tammany Hall ln an effort to destroy
the effect of the Hennessy revelations.
' Is that so?" he cried. "Well. we'll
eee about that right now."
He opened a drawer. took out a sheet
of paper and started to write. The
paa sputtered, and finally stuck and
broke. He rang a bell. and one of his
offlce force came in, and, at the ward?
en's order. brought him in two pens.
He began afresh, and flnaily flnlshed
the letter. which follows:
"John B Riley, 8uperlntendent of Pris?
ons, Albany. N. Y.
"Deai Sir: I respectfally tender my
reslgnation as warden of Sing Sing
prison. to take effect at your pleasure.
With many thanks for the more than
kind tieatment I have received at your
band., I am yours sinctrely
"JAMES M. CLANCY."
Gives Letter to Reporter.
He had no sooner sealed and addressed
the >tter than the clerk who brought hlm
two pens came in and offered to post the
letter
? No >ou won't," said Clancy, handing
the letter to a reporter.
As the reporters were leaving this same
clerk came up to them and said:
Give me the letter to mail. The war?
den rrsy regret this in a half hour!"
When this was refused he added:
"The warden haa been very high-strung
for the last forty-elght houra."
An hour later the reporter who had the
letter called up the warden on the tele?
phone to give him an enportunity to re
eonsider.
"Please mail the letter at once." said
the warden. "You saw me You saw I
wasn't nervous. Anyway, I've been think
ir.g about thls thing for some time. I am
now making arrangements so that things
wlll be in shape when I leave."
In addltion to giving the lie to Hen
?aaay, Clancy also deelared that the in?
terview published in some of the morning
papers as coming from Senator McClel*
land. In whlcb Stllwell was made to deny
that be had ever made a confession to
Hennessy. was not true. in so far a? 11
said tbat the interview took place in the
varden's offlce.
Senator McClelland would not answer
this.
The very mention of a confession
stirred Warden Claocy to the quick.
?When Hennessy makes thnt statement
public T.ferrlng to the Stilwell confes?
sion) I 11 have something to say." he ex
claimed.
He said that Frederlc H. Stllwell. ?
brother of the prlsoner; Colonel Wllliarr
N Amory, Charles H. Unveraagt and
himself were present at one tlme or an?
other at the interview between Hennessj.
and Stilwell.
?'Sick OT Whole Thing."
Clancy. who never tried to hide hb
frlendliness toward Stilwell. said:
fl see Governor Sulzer refers to me Ir
hla Interview. Wby does he refer tr
me' My eonnection with this case ls
not one to be proud of. I'm sick of thf
whole thing, and after the eleetion. when
I make my etatement. you will i>ee thal
Senator Stllwell ie not the moat dlshon
orable one in the whole affair. The ob.
ligatlons to this man were totally disre
garded. They were broken on all sides,
and Tn per cent of the things said aboul
him are lies."
He and Stllwell wer* together a llttle
more than an hour, alone. after Senator
MrClellan and Birsack left. When th*
warden waa asked what they talked aboul
in that hour he said:
?*\Ve talked about a trip to Denver we
made together In 1908 That ma> seem
like a Joke, but lt is the fact. We JuM
decided to forget the whole thing and
talk about old times."
Warden Clancy asserted he was an antl

The Witwam was troWdod with a typi

standing; room in the aislr-s and cheered
the candldate for Majrof for twentv

there. He did not add that Bryan fll

Mr Met ai! ootnipled a good part of hls
speaklng tlrne wlth another bltter attack
on the eewapapera, "The World" ln par
Hcular, and John A. Henne.-sy. He told
the audience, with a show of real anc*'.
that "the rlor k had BtrOCk" for I'tiltt/er

thelr cue frnm tlie Mayoralty candidate
ln hls former atta*ks on the newspapers,
for thev all spoke iti tlre same vein.
Mr. MeCall said, in part:
"All along tlie line, as J'ommissioner

one point to tiie other Um Democracy

can be named 1 do not hesitate to plaee
the responslbility for the lnjectlon of
auch CTOatUroa upon the fusion manage?
ment, no matter whether they dlsclalm
lt or not.
"It was they who brought thls man
Hennessy Into the camass. because ln fol?
lowing the regular CUBtOBM of leadcru of
a lost cause, when they run awny from
the Issues that shouid be dlscussed ln B
i-ampaign, they reach down Into tbe gutter
for thelr filth and slander. and the agen

propose that through thelr BChamlng and
by the Instrumentallty of surh creature?
as that we shall be dherted for one mo?
ment from the real issues of thls cam?
paign. and I ask you to leave to tne for
my own treatment hoth this man and the
licentious press.
"And now, gentlemen. tO pass to the

Beardsley take Murphy s word for tt?
Why don't you ask Judge Beardsley
