Day said: "Bob Glenn, come over here, I want to speak to you." "Don't .Bob Glenn me," said the sen ator. "I don't want to speak to you or have anything to do with you." Day made no reply. Afterwards he gave to Senator jus tice a signed agreement to surrender the penitentiary to the new directors March 1, reserving the right to sue them for salary for the unexpired term.
