assertion of discharged prisoners who
lightly asserted that a man entenced
to the penal work Of breaking stone
under the Ball Tramp law had a snap
under Foreman John Moore, Of The

the matter which served TO give color
to these rumors was the large number
OF old offenders who broke the law re
peatedly knowing that the crime en-
tailed stone breaking
An EVENING JOURNAL reporter called

and asked him for an explanation. he

lege Of publication.
The report shows the following
figures: 115 loads Of cracked stone
