Preferred Prison to Liberty.
Chicago Tribune.


Robert Robinson. better known as "Old
Bob" life convict in the Northern
Prison, died Friday night at the age OF 80.
Robinson was notorious throughout all the
northern part OF Iudiana among the thou-
sands of eXcursIoDists who annually visit
tile prison as perhaps the first one on
record who positively refused n pardon,
and regarded the prison as an acceptable
home.
Robinson wa sent to the prison at JEFF
tersonville. Ind. in 1857, from Wayne
County. to serve life sentence for MUIR
der. After serving two years there ha
was transferred with others to this city to
assist in building the Northern Prison.
After the labor was finished he worked on
contracts until he grew old, and then. dur
inc the wardenship of the late Charles
Mayne. in the seventies, he became a
'trusty" and farmland. As he advanced
in age his oddities grew upon him. Early
In his prison career he formed a strong a t.
tachment 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
Mayne regime Bob got lost willie nting
In Porter County. west of the city, ard
actually hired man to bring him back to
prison.

attendance so far in the history Of
the lO5th General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America was present al
the prayer meeting WITH which the
days proceedings were ushered in
Rev. MIR. Allen, of Chattanooga pre-
sided.
Moderator Craig announced that
at the request of Rev. S. J Niccolls,
D. d, of ST. Louis, and Elder Cy-
rus L Pershing, he had replaced
them on the judicial commission to
try the complaints Of ]. J. McCook
and others against the Synod OF
New York by the appointment of
Rev. w. B. Reynolds, of Minnesota,
and Elder Law, of California.
Upon formal motion to approve
the minutes of yesterday after the
opening of the Assembly for bust
ness, the furry Of last night over
the form of the question to be voted
upon at the close of four hours de-
bate by the judiciary, was renewed.
The moderator at length reviewed
the proceedings of last night upon
this matter, and stated that at the
close of the debate he would enter
tain a motion to amend the form of
the question, the motion to be voted
upon without further debate. This
was satisfactory to all parties and
the moderator gave the floor to
Elder ketchum, of New Jersey. He
favored sending the case of Prof.
Briggs back to the Synod, and said
that at the end of the debate he
would offer resolution to that
effect. He had not one particle of
sympathy with his friend DR..
Briggs. He wanted it understood
that he believed in old-fashioned
doctrine, strict Interpretation of the
Bible without rising above the mys-
teries in it. But he believed DR..
Briggs had certain rights which
should be respected.
The question recurring on the
resolution of the judicial commit
tee that the appeal be entertained,
the ayes and noes were demanded.
The result of the vote on the mo-
ton to entertain the appeal was
announced by DR.. Craig as fol-
lows: Yeas 400 nays 145. On
motion DR.. Young the judicial
committee was instructed to pre-
pare q program for the proceed
ure in the trial of the appeal and
