The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1891-01-15

Although the following letter was not
written for publication we take the liberty
of presenting it in part to our readers. We
receive many such letters from the inmates
of other prisons where THE MIRROR finds
admittance. We are sorry to say there are
few prisons our paper is not allowed to
enter. but we are glad to say they are grow
ing fewer every year. We venture to say
that in most cases those who have seen fit
to exclude the paper as one likely to exert
perniclOus Influence in the prison have
done so without acquainting themselves
with the nature of the matter published
therein. If the paper exerts any other than
good influence its publishers are missing
their aim and would welcome criticism of a
nature to make them aware of their faults.
But that has nothing to do with our friends

Editor PRISON MIRROR.
Dear Sir:-THE MIRROR issue Of Feb 27th | 1901
was handed to me by Mrs. Crosley, wife of COL
Crosey who was then warden of this institution
and who gave me permission to comply with your
| request. I felt somewhat slated by the fact that
the learned Colonel and his very literary wife re-.
garded me as being one of the capable men, in
this prison.

aims of THE MIRROR, and hence feel deeply in.

some months longer.
Our rules allow each prisoner to take.two papers
Zone religious and one politically at the same time,
therefore. since my subscription to the Chicago
Herald expires next month and since cannot at
present earn THE MIRROR by the use of my pen,
I herewith inclose one dollar for it.
We had glorious time on this Christmas.
Having had q good breakfast we repaired to the
chapel and after listening to short but eloquent
address by Mr.. McCarty. representative of the 2Sd
General Assembly of Iowa, were given the yard

of Kentucky.

Governor (Formerly General) Buckner
of Kentucky.
That was fine passage between the Ex-
ecutive of Kentucky and the wife of the
condemned man. who went to Frankfort last
Friday to ask for pardon. She had pre-.
Sented her papers and sat breathless whilst
the arbiter of her fate perused them; and,
as she waited, mastiff, the playmate of
the Governors little soma beast not given
to strangers-uncoiled himself from the rug
where he had been lying, and came up in
that friendly way which only dogs know how
to affect with perfect sincerity, and, seeing
suspense and pain in the agitated features
OF the poor woman, he put his paws gently
upon her knees and began to lick her hands.
The Governor finished the papers and the
petitioner was about to speak, when the
grim old soldier said: lit is not necessary.
madam; the dog has spoken for you," and
straightway signed the document which
was to release dying man from prison and
enable him to 60 to his grave from his own
home.
One touch of nature makes the whole
world kin; and it is hard to say which
moves us the more; the spectacle of that
brave gentleman and soldier. whom it is q
delight and pride to hail as our chief mag
istrate. stirred to the depths by the silent
eloquence of dog; or the thought of that
noble brute, inspired by we know not what.
to become an irresistible pleader for mercy
before the highest court.
The incident makes SeaSOnable text.
Indeed, there was as much of truth as sar-
casm in the observation of the cynic, who
declared that the more he saw of men the
better he thought of dogs. The love of
dog has nothing sordid about it, nor treach-
erous. The poor beast knows not how to
dissemble. Gov. Buckner knew his sons
dog and believed in him. And, when he
saw him make common cause with the grief
stricken woman. he felt that, if he followed
the lead of that dogs pity and love, he
could make no mistake. And he did not:
and then and there the angel that writes in
book drew great white mark for that

A great deal of nonsense has been writ
ten and said about the evils of combining
the young with the old and hardened GRIM
isals in jails. A great many erroneous
ideas exist concerning the disposition of the
average old criminal, and not the least of
these is that in regard to his conduct toward
nOvices in crime. 1t is fact that he will
more often be found trying to discourage
than encourage the boy ambitious of be-
coming professional criminal If you
want to hear crime discussed just conceal
yourself somewhere about jail or other
prison where lot of your innocent" boy
criminals are not embarrassed by the pres
ence of old persons, and we assure you that
you will hear more crimes and methods of
perpetrating crimes described in an hour
than you would hear in week where the
old and the young are confined together.
Boys become pretty thoroughly demoralized
before they commit crimes. 1t is contrary
to human nature for innocent.minded per-
sons to commit criminal acts. Still we
do not say that there are not many old rep
rebates who seem to take pleasure in poi
soning tho minds of boys. There are GER
tainly many good reasons why the old and
the young should not mingle together in
jails, but it is far more important that the
young should be kept apart.

Sucker Wants His Money Back.

CHICAGO, May 26.-Ex-United States Sen
ator D. NJ. Sabin of Minnesota sat in Judge
Greshams court this morning with an
amused smile on his face as he listened to
Lawyer Flowers statement Of the alleged
facts in a big suit against Mr.. Sabin begun
by Il. H. Porter, a Minnesota railroad man.
The suit is TO recover 500, 900. Several years
ago MIR. Sabin was a member of the firm OF
Seymour, Sabin & Co, manufacturers of
railroad cars. The business was extensive,
but the firm decided to enlarge its plant and
invited additional capital to join with them
TO form the Northwestern manufacturing
and car company, with capital of some
thing like 100000. On the representation
of Senator Sabin Mr.. Porter invested $780,
600, and he claims the liabilities of the old
concern were rot honestly represented 10
him. He found, be alleges, that the indebt-
edness was nearly the amount Of the capital
STOCK, and thus his 10000 proved very
poor investment
