AN OLD OFFENDRR.
Half Life Time Spent In Prison, and Trying
1t Again.

George Humphreys, walnut colored darkey,
short and stubby, witha bull head, was arraigned
before Justice Macarthur, on the charge Of steal
ing bags from rag. gatherer. George is about
nity years old, and rather roughly clad, and pre-
sented the appearance Of having passed through
a hard campaign, in which much of his wearing
apparel had been lett behind. The record Of the
man is decidedly and unenviable one, and his face
is familiar 10 the Keeper Of every prison in this
vicinity. HIS boy hood days were spent in the old
work. house that stood on M street northwest.
Then he started out on thieving expeditions that
rewarded him, at different times, with terms In
the old penitentiary, that stood on the arsenal
grounds, the cid iail, the Albary penitentiary,
the new jail, and the pre- sent work. house. George
has become SO accustomed TO prison lie that he
feels lost when outside the walls, and permits Ut
tie time to elapse before he is again inclrcerated
within Its precincts. The present charge was .
triing one in com parison with those for which he
hes been punished, being the stealing Of sig bags,
but the mans bad reputation, together with the
proof operated against him, and the Jury found
him guilty. His Honor sent him 10 the penitcn.
