tests his innocence. In q brief CONVEX
,sation with him on Tuesday, we asked
him if he had any statement to make
which ne desired to publish. He said
he had written u statement for publica-
ton but had lost it, and that the only
thing that he desires to say nov is: u
am sorry to say that the people failed
10 give me Justice of the trial. His
Intention was called TO the fact that
while he gives his age rs only %, when
he was married in Alexandria his age
was given as %. He said If that was
the case they had it wrong in Alexsn-
sria. He says he realizes that he sis

hope that the Governor may inte-cede
In his behalf prompts him to continue

the visits of the ministers. Rev. w.

TOO THICK TO THRIVE.

1t is understood that the financial ex-
hibit which will be made by the peniten
tiary this year will be by long odds the
most favorable ever made by that insti-
tuition. But though our States prison
annually puts a considerable sum of
net revenue into the public treasury, a
very niggardly disposition is shown by
the Legislature in the matter OF enlarging
the mems dollhouse there.

the men eat, here they sleep. here they

once locked in, they are in to stay until

To visit one of these cells at night is
TO be in an atmosphere full of foul odors.
1t would be so to some degree II all the
men were cleanly, but most OF them are
far from being so. for the prison does not
offer them the necessary facilities. even
II they were people anxious to take adj
vantage OF them. In fine. the men are
huddled together in most disreputable
fashion. and In its lack OF accommoda-
tons the prison has become a standing
reproach to this Commonwealth.
This same lack of room extends to the
hospital, though the farm Is being used
