= KINDNESS or HEART.
A Man Saved From the Penitentiary Dies
Soon Aftcrward.

The fact that all Judges. prosecuting at
torseys and detectives are not eartless IS
prJ ed by the case Of John Lee the young
negro thief who was arrested 'm August
by Detective Gibson for stealing harness.
When the case came up in the Hastings
Court AT the October term for trial De
tective Gibson noticed that TIE youth
was in bad state OF health and he
called Mr.. Richardson's attention TO that
fact.
Together they thought that confinement
in the penitentiary would hasten his end.
and they mentioned their thought 10
Judge witt. who. with his big heart,
agreed with them.
Lee was called to the bar and pleaded
guilty Ordinarily the sentence would
have been not less than two years In the
penltentlary. But Mr.. Richardson's gen
tie nature and kindness Of heart pre-
vailed. and. aided and abetted by the
judge and the detective. he recommend
ed that the prisoner be sentenced 10 jail
for one day and fined one cent.
The negro did not live long to enjoy
the freedom that they gave him. for he
died Monday. and the prophecy of Mr.
Gibson came true.
