"a few months ago there appeared
in two st. Louis sensational papers a
series of articles dwelling upon the
prison manag ement. but chiefly upon
The so-called "barbarous treatment"
of the refractory prisoners by Deputy
Warden Bradbury. The articles
were well-wriiten and were calculated
to deceive. For a long time the
officials were puzzled to know their
origin. 1t was finally dis.

preacher who was sent t. the peni-
Tertiary several years ago, for steal
ing, from Cooper county. When he
arrived here, being past middle age,
he gained the sympathy of all, and
was allowed many liberties by the
officers. His daily task was always
light. He was at first allowed to
distribute the daily mail to the pris-
oners in their cells. This duty he
performed for several months, when
it was discovered he would
steal everything or anything he
could get his hands upon
and Gerry away without detection.
Several hundred dollars worth of val
uables, mostly postage stamps which
he had stolen, were found hidden in
his cell. He should have been
severely punished for this crime, but
through sympathy for him, his Of
lenses were overlooked, and with The
exception of giving him another
harder task-that of nurse and assist
ant in the hospi'al-nOthing was done

his new employment, it was found
that the unfortunate old kleptOmaDiac
was stealing liquor from the sick
patients and the drug store, to which
he had access, ard was selling it, as
afforded, to the prisoners,
who happened to have money con-
cealed upon them, frequently receiv-
ing therefor as high as 81 per drink.
He lost this position and went again
further than to receive
harder job. At all times he grumbled
and gave unnecessary trouble,
but being old and preacher. too,

great patience by the prison author
