confinement. 1t may jeopardizs his
"good conduct" record and force him
to serve many monthe, or perhaps
years. of confinement, which he might
escape. For this simple reason few
convicts are detected in the act OF talk
ing or conveying information in any
way.
Yet they do talk, aad talk, often, too.
But how they do it is mystery which
the officials OF every large prisons the
world over would like to solve. In
Paris and in London, where the disci.
pline, perhaps, is even stricter than in
Sing Sing, the convicts nave system
of exchanging Information Keepers who
have been among convicts many years
have endeavorsd to discover the trick,
but without result.
Principal Keeper Connaughton has
been employed in Sing Sing for thirty
years. He went there young man
and now his hair is snow white. He
has intelligence, and besides takes
more than official interest in the con-
victs. He is continually studying them
and knows more about them than the
average man would ever dream existed.
He has won the friendship, such es it
is. of innumerable convicts, but great
as his experience and knowledge are, he
has never been able to fathom their
system of communication.
Not only do the convicts manage to
exchange news, but they do other
things. For instance, man who had
been convicted for twenty years left
the prison on his release whistling one
of the latest comic opera airs. How he
managed to pick up the tune and retain
the notes in his memory would puzzle
Philadelphia lawyer.
IT there was presidential election
today every convict iu Sing Sing would
know who was elected the first thing
tomorrow morning, and just how the
different states stood. Every import
ant news event which happens the
world over they know about, yet to
read a newspaper or to be caught with
one is serious offense. When noted
prisoner arrives, like q murderer
doomed to the death chair, every con-
vict knows all about it before the clerk
has finished taking his pedigree. Yet
the convicts are separated in dozen
large buildings. News travels incred-
IDLY fast there and 30 silently that the
vigilance of the keepers count for
naught. 1t seems to soak in through
the stone walls aud make its presence
felt, only to the unfortunates.
Each convict knows the criminal his
tory Of the others. He knows all the
"bad men," the men who would not
hesitate second to commit murder, IL
provoked, even within the stone walls
Of the prison. Yet there is no talking.
And there is no talking with the fin
gers. When convict ia walking acI oss
the prison yard, he keeps his arms
folded on his breast. When he is idle
in the workshop for minute or two he
keeps his arms folded.
It is not due to lack of vigilance that
the men are able to communicate with
each other. The silent system is en-
forced as carefully as it Is possible to
enforce it in an institution where the
prisoners are not kept in solitary con-
hnement
When the men are in the workshops
or in the yard they are almost con-
stantly under the eyes of the guards.
They march to and from their work in
the lock step, each squad looking like
dirty gray caterpiller as it swings
across the yard, each man in that squad

their plans to the men who assisted
than.
No clue has ever been discovered as
to how this was done. This is only one
instance of many where underground
letters have done their work. This
faculty of communication is of the
most value to the convict and the
greatest worry to the guards in plan
