ConYicts Exchange Personalities.

One of the queerest cases on record
developed itself to-day. Policeman
Garham yesterday took a captured con-
vict to Huntsville penitentiary and re-
turned to the officers there. This morn
ing Garham, having nothing to do,
thought he would call up George Has
the last Term of the Harris County
Court to seventeen years in the peni-
tentiary for horse-stealing. Garham
knew Hasselmeyer, SO when the con-
vict who answered to that name was
brought up he was astonished to find
that it was not the same person who
had been sentenced under that name
The penitentiary Warden insisted that
it was the only Hasselmeyer confined
in the penitentiary, whereupon the con-
vict, seeing that further concealment
was useless, made confession. It
seems that James Kennon, who was
sentenced at the same term of court as
Hasselmeyer to three years, and Has
on the way to Huntsville Hasselmeyer
made the astounding proposition to
Kennon that they should change names
and terms, Hasselmeyer offering Ken
non $1,000 to work his seventeen years
sentence, while he should work the
three years sentence of Kennon: Ken
non accepted the proposition. When
Hasselmeyer's name was called at the
penitentiary and he was told to register
Kennon stepped forward and declared
that he was the man. AS neither the
Warden nor the guard who brought the
convicts to Huntsville knew the names
of the men the ruse was completely
successful, and had it not been for the
mere chance of Garham asking to see
Hasselmeyer, whom he happened to
know, it is something that might hap
pen at any time, and yet none of the
officers would be any wiser, as they are
not supposed to know the convicts per-
sonaIly until after they are registered
at the penitentiary. Hasselmeyer was
found on convict plantation working
under the name of Kennon. He had
been working outside of the walls, as
short-term prisoners are not so closely
confined and guarded as are those in
for long term. Houston f1er. Special

marched through the audience; coming

Bishop Warren says the assertion
that the Southern negro ministers are
leading their flocks astray by wicked
lives is not true, as far as it relates
to ministers of the Methodist Church.
Every minister, white or black, is every
year examined as to his character in
open conference. Occasionally man
is found who gives evidence of having
fallen from grace. He is tried, and If
found guilty is expelled from the minis
try. In one case at the last conference,
where Bishop Warren presided, min
lister was thus dealt with whose offense
was not lewdness or drunkenness, but
the fact that he did not pay his debts.
