LOUISVILLE, February 4. "A Jeiler-
sonville dispatch says the Indiana
whisky convicts, from indianapolis,
were placed in the pentitentiary there
to-day. The prisoners, previous to their
recent troubles, occupied high posi-.
positions and were numbered among
the best citizens of Evansville, Their
sentences read that they are TO be con-
fined at hard labor Tor the terms speci-
fled for violation OF the United States
revenue laws. A Courier Journal re-
porter, who succeeded in having a talk
with the prisoners after they arrived
at the prison, says that Alfred Nj, Nc
Grih was sitting on smoking lounge,
his head buried In his hands, the pic
ture of grief and despair. The reporter
touched him lightly on the shoulder
when he started and raised his head.
His face looked careworn and haggard
and his eyes were wet with tears. He
is sixty years old. He said: "My God,
to think | would ever come to this; 1t
will kill me. My heart is crushed
now.n He spoke In voice deep with
emotion and was greatly agitated. He
said: "lf it were not for my poor wife
and son believe | could stand 1t, but
to think of the disgrace brought upon
them is more than can bear. 1t will
kill my wife. She il sick now, and
this will kill her; but there is one con-
solation--she knows ! am innocent OF
the charge. swear to you that | am
an innocent man." He said his wife
was fifty years old, and that he had
been married thirty years. McGrifl
was well known and highly respected
at Evansville, aud for seven years was
the city clerk of that place and lead
ing member of the Presbyterian
church. He has the heart disease, and
1t is the general opinion among his
friends that he will not long survive
his Imprisonment.
