WHO'S JAMES PEABODY?
A Refined Looking Man In the
County Jail
Who Wrote a Personal Letter
to Senator ThurstOn
When He was Here Which the Sena-
tor Did Not Acknowledging Al
most Served His Time, He
Asks Release.

The best educated man in the county
Jail is James Pea body. confidence man.
who is serving out a sixty day sentence
and 500 fine. Peabody, whose time
will be up about December /, has writ
ten pathetic appeal to the county
commissioners begging to be released.
Peabody's cell is full Of newspapers
and books. and after he is brought
from his days work on the rock pile
he spends his time in the dim light
OF ms cell reading Peab0dys hands
are delicate and his person well kept
He looks like a prosperous business
man But months OF Ia bOr breaking
stone have hardened his muscles and
his fine features are hidden beneath
ragged beard.
There is a mystery connected with
the educated prisoner that no one has
been able to solve. Tit is thought that
his name is not Peabody, but no one
knows He has never let drop q word
since his Incarceration that would fur
nish any clue to his identity. During
his long confinement he has not re-
ceiVed letter. though his petition to
the county commissioners would indi-
cate that he had a family. He has
written but one letter and that was to
United States Senator Thurston by a
messenger and At is supposed to have
been an appeal for help, but Senator
IhrustOn sent no reply.
That fact indicates that Peabody
llNGS IN NEBRASKA ana II IS supposed
that his home is in Omaha. He was
arrested for fleeing an old man out Of
$3.50 on a Santa F'e train and he was
allowed to plead guilty to a INSIDE
meanor and sentenced in a justice
court
Following is Peabody's pathetic APP
peal for release, written in a beautiful
and regular hand:
Unexpected Sirs: I was arrested in
March for a misdeneanOr in obtaining
seven dollars by false pretense. I
pleaded guilty in Justice Furry's court
on the 23rd day of May and received q
sentence of sixty days and one hun
dred dollars. Il have served all this,
gentlemen, excepting the costs, which
amount to forty-two dollars Consid-
ering my long imprisonment, I trust
am not presumptiOus in requesting re
lease I am pennilesS and have felt
keenly the humiliatfng fact that I am
an expense to the county. I have en-
deavOred to make some amends by
hard and faithful work on the rock
pile as Mr.. kuykendau viii certify.
Inclusive of good time 7 have SO
days to serve, which will carry me into
the latter part Of November. Allow me
these few days. gentlemen; it viii all
low me to make some little provision
for winter. These few days mean much
to myself and to those that are near
and dear to me. and hereby beseech
you, gentlemen, in the name of him to
whom we all look for mercy grant my
plea.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
JAMES PEABODY"
