About Q year ago Q prisoner was
brought from one Of the territories in

House OF Correction with the warning
that he was . desperate character. and
had boasted that he would run" the
institution. He had q malignant look
and surly answer for all questions. and
whom ordered down into the bath room
he boldly declined to 60.
"Step down +" repeated the deputy.
"I won't 7" replied the prisoner.
backing Of 0 little. and glancing around
for weapon.
The deputy was the man for the occa-
sion. Walking up close to the prisoner
he said. In . quiet but far.reachina
voice: EVERY prisoner under this roof
must obey me or die! II you are not
down stairs in thirty seconds / will
shoot you through the head"
No weapons were in sight. Both men
faced each other barehanded. The pris.
onsr was robbsr and murderer. The
deputy was an officer OF nerve. For ten
seconds they looked in each Others eyes
and read each others thoughts. Then
the prisoner turned and went down
stairs, and from that day to this he has
been a. submissive and obsdient as any
man In the prison.
