Five have been shot and killed in attempting to escape, all Of them Mexi- cans. The first, Jose M. Ramirez, was killed on December 2S, 1885, when eighteen were working in the graveyard and all made break for liberty. As soon as Captain Ingalls, brought the Gattling gun into play, fifteen of them returned to the prison, one was captured later, one killed and one escaped and has remained in Sonora ever since.
 Jose Lopez, murder, Cochise county, sentenced for fifteen years, was killed while attempting to escape October P. 1887. At the same time and in the same attempt to escape the following were killed. Librado Pueblo, sentenced for robbery for thirty years from Pima county; Fernando Vasques, robbery, from Pima county, for thirty years 1; Ezekiel Bustamente, for grand larceny, from Graham county, for five years. During this outbreak Superintendent Gates was seriously stabbed. Seven Mexcans in the plot, surrounded the and attempted to make him the target for the guns of the guards.
 IN the history of the pententiary but eight men have gone insane, all of whom have been charged from the books of the prison, but what has be- come of them seems to be involved in doubt. It is definitely known that one or two have escaped from the asylum. The prison records show the following to be in the asylum:
Arizona republican., 1890-08-24

The convicts here given as Mexican natives were those actually born in Mex leo. Those of American birth, of Mexi- ican descent, are numerous and are credited to the states in which they were born. This showing is not pleasing one for the foreign born inhabitants more than half of our criminals being from among them.
 TIE penitentiary makes good show Ing of faithfuness in the custody of its wards. While there have been numer- ous attempts at escape, but few have been successful and at present there are but seven fugitives, as follows:

old and is again said to be enciente This is deplorable state of affairs, dis creditable to the past management and a dishonor to the Territory. What is to become of this waif of the penitentiary |? Society will not be the better for the rearing it will receive in the prison. There should be some association to care for waifs like this as there are in other communities. This woman has an S-year-old child, living with relatives, and her release might result in good to the Territory. She seems to be an affectionate mother and under proper influences might bring up her children to lead honest lives.
 That the Behan administration had no sense of the proprieties and were thoroughly callous to public opinion is shown by the fact that the birth of this child was made the subject of jest about the penitentiary. This was only in keeping with the low moral tone that pervaded everything here during that administration.
 OF the prison structure itself, of the system of discipline and general policy pursued in the management, together with Capt. Ingalls, plans for the future, 1 will speak in second letter. Of Yuma, as town, l shall also speak in future contributions. c. o. Y.

THE prison was opened May, 1875, and during that year there were but three admissions, one in May and two in June. The first prisoner was William Hall, of Pima county. He was sem fenced for life, on conviction of mur- der in the second degree. He was pardoned by Acting Governor Van Ar nam, on July 24, 1884, and is now here, serving his third sentence to the peni- tentiary, having become hopeless case. His comrades during the first year were two convicts from Yavapai county, one having been sentenced for thirty-one years for murder in the second degree and the other one year for attempt at robbery.
 Since then, to date, the Penitentiary has sheltered 6S5 convicts, all but v of whom were committed since January, 1882. There are now l43 convicts in the prison. Since opening, 53O convicts have been discharged, five have gone insane and been removed to the Asy- lum and seven have escaped and have not been recaptured. have prepared table to show at glance the com mittments by the year, the discharges, insane, escapes, the total left in prison at the end of each year and the crimes of which they were committed, as fol- lows:

August Zl.
 NEARLY one-third of this regiment of criminals was convicted of grand larceny and eighty of them of burglary. Of the 6S5 persons committed, 127 were guilty of murder or manslaughter, very strong argument against the hip-pocket. Of all these there are thirty who were sentenced to Imprisonment for life, of whom twelve remain. In connection with the proposed abolition of the death sentence and the sub stitution of life imprisonment in- stead, it is interesting to inquire into what became of the eighteen men who were sent here for life but are no longer within the walls of the prison. Only one of them died in prison, Chinese, QuOng Sing, who committed suicide. One escaped.and has not been recaptured. Eleven were pardoned. seven of them by Governor Zulick. One had his sen. tence commuted to twelve years and has been discharged. Two obtained new trials and secured a"quittals. One, an Indian, was transferred to the Hi. nois penitentiary and another, "Doc" Smart, was transferred to the Ohio State penitentiary, the general government not keeping its life prisoners here. Another life prisoner had his sentence commuted to ten years and will soon be re- leased. This is Fred. J. Glover, of Yava- pal county. Both the communications were made by Governor Zulick. A table which l have prepared by the kindness of the prison officials indicates that, as murder is about the safest of crimes, few being punished, so the life termer has the best show of escaping from confinement. The eighteen life prisoners, who are no longer at Yuma, served an average of less than three years, and leaving out the two trans ferred to other prisons, it still leaves an average of less than 3l4 years each for the remaining sixteen. The longest service was nine years, two months and four days, and the shortest seven months and ten days. My readers can speculate upon these facts for themselves. They are full of food for thought and many a lesson may be drawn from them. To me it is clear that if man has made up his mind to become criminal, the safest plan is to become a bad-man- with-a- gun. His punishment will be light. For those who may care for such things, append the table. 1 should remark that two prisoners sentenced to ninety-nine years have been included among the life termers:
Arizona republican., 1890-08-24

IT is creditable to the womanhood of the Territory that the names of but four wo- men appear upon the rosters of the pri-
Arizona republican., 1890-08-24

The aggregate sentence, other than life, was l043 years, months and ? days, an average of years, months and days. There were eleven life pris- oners then, counting, as previously, the ninety-nine year men as life termers. The nativity of these convicts was as
Arizona republican., 1890-08-24

been steadily kept up, though the number of prisoners has not in- creased. What, under the circum- stances, has been done with the money can be readily conjectured, but will not be fully explained for few months. In the meantime, the fact that the Superintendent's house, which is furnished by the Territory, is long on champagne glasses and short on water goblets, may explain matters.

SINCE the penitentiary received its first inmate, in May, 1875, six different persons have held the office of Supern- tendent, Captain Ingalls, being now in his second term, making the seventh administration. The Superintendents, with the dates of their service, were as follows:

son. There is now but one here. The three discharged were Lizzie Gallagher, con victed of murder in the second degree, pardoned by Governor Fremont; May Woodman, manslaughter, pardoned by Acting Governor Van Arnam; Allegracio De Otero, selling liquor to Indians. The only female convict remaining is Man. uela Fimbres. She has been here since March 30, 1889, for the murder of q Chinaman at Tucson. She is but 2l years of age and is here for fifteen years.
 Her partner in crime is Juan Enriquez, who is here for thirty years. An effort has been made to secure her pardon, but without success. That she richly merits the full penalty given her is undoubted. She was guilty of grave and atrocious crime. It must be confessed, however, that there is no place here for a woman. There is no Homan's ward. Superintendent Ingalls, has now in stalled her in cell in the yard and confined her to smaller inclosure formed by wire. No other prisoners are allowed within this nor is she allowed to go beyond it.

SINCE the prison has been founded sixteen convicts have died in it, and most of them were buried in the little cemetery in the southeast corner of the grounds. Two convicts killed themselves on the way here, by jumping of the train. These were Peter Deveaux, of Cochise county, on December ?, 1883, and John Pennington, of Maricopa county, on December 13, 1885. Three men have been killed by accidents, all caused by the caving-in of embankments on which the men were working.

The large increase in crime in 1882 is accounted for by the fact that the Atlantic and Pacific railroad was built that year and the statistics for 1890 are to the close of business last evening, August 2l.

 YUMA, August 22.-The Arizona Terri torial Prison is an institution of some magnitude and considerable interest. It involves an annual expenditure of about s50,0O0 of the peoples money. Con sidering that thls is nearly Sl for each man, woman and child in the Territory, or s5 for every voter, it is not to be wondered that the taxpayers should have an interest in this State insttu- ton. It is one of the heaviest burdens that they have to bear, as the aggregate of expenses for the past three years, which represents fair average, shows, The figures as taken from the books of the penitentiary are as follows;

that, and he was in favor of cutting
down the salaries to avoid this. Mr..
Lewis said that $40 per month was bet
ter now than $50 or even 500 was
twelve months ago. 1t was evident that
if the board did not take the initiative
the Retrenchment Committee, who were
not as we'll posted as to the best
interests of the force, would take the
matter into their own hands. After pro-
longed discussion Mayor Hazard offered,
as an amendment to the original resolu-
ton, one to the effect that the number of
officers on the police force be reduced to
seventy men, being q saving to the city
of $40 900 q year. On motion of Mr..
Knox, however, the matter was laid over
for one week.
