The Homeless Man.

The New York San of the 18th
says: On Saturday Jack Canter,
the counterfeiter, finished ten years.
sentence in Sing Sing, and was turn
ed loose on the world a most unhap-
Ply man. Jack Canter, though only
fifty years old, has served twenty
nine years in Sing Sing prison. He
has been CONVICTED of nearly every
crime in the calendar. His last
ofense was the making Of counter
felt fractional currency in Mount
Vernon. Three years ago Jack, who
in all his former terms was clerk in
the prison, was assigned to duty in
the Mushroom. AS clerk. Jack had
charge Of the conyicts' time-book,
and, being and expert penman and
mathematician, he performed nearly
all the duties or chief clerk.
It eventually dawned upon the
mind Of the warden and the clerk
that convicts were going out of the
prison more rapidly than they were
coming in. Investigation showed
that for years Canter had been
systematically shortening the terms
Of conyicts on the books for 500
each. The average reduction made
in time was about one-half, some
more and some less. Thus, a ten
year man, if he had 500, could get
off with only five, six or seven years,
as the prominence or obscurity Of
the convict might suggest. On the
discovery, for this trick lost Jack his
situation. From that time he filed
a very mental place in the prison.
and yearned for the expiration Of
his time. But when the great iron
door closed behind him with clang
and he was a free man in the busy
world again, he sat down on the
stone and went aloud.
