on contracts until be grew ole. and then,
during the wardenship OF the late Charles
Mayne in the seventies, he became a
''trusty" and farm hand. As he advanced
in age bis oddities grew upon him. Early
in his prison caresr he formed a strong
attachment for dumb animals, and made
pets of dogs, rabbits, squirrels, and
foxes He also developed into a great
hunter and trapper. and would frequently
turn his skill to financial account. Once
during the Mavne regime Bob got lost
while hunting in Porter county, west OF
this city. and actually hired man to bring
him back 10 prison
In 1877 Governor Williams offered
Robinson a pardon, but the prisoner re-
jected il. Another time, when James

governor to the prison. When the
governor arrived old Bob became so in
dignant that he called his dog and went
10 the woods until the executive had de-
parted.
Bob never missed circus that came to

his stripes. and Notwithstanding the high
temperature, the Old man extracted his
full measure Of enjoyment from the show.
