TRANSFER OF PRISONERS.
Governor Orders Them Sent from
JefYersonvilIe to Michigan City.

Governor Orders Them Sent from
JeHersonvilIe to Michigan City.
Governor Mount yesterday signed an or
der for the transfer of nineteen prisoners
from the Reformatory to the Penitentiary.
The nineteen chosen were selected from
list of thirty that had been submitted by
Warden A. T. Hert. The taking of the
prisoners north will materially lessen the
pressure for room at the Reformatory,
which is badly overcrowded, but the reason
for the transfer is not found in this fact.
Ever since the indetermina te-sentence law
went into effect there has been a disposition
on the part of some of the trial judges of
the State to send convicted criminals toward
whom they were leniently inclined to the
Reformatory instead of the Penitentiary,
and this despite some plain provisions in
the law which state that prisoners over
thirty or those convicted for more than
one term. regardless of their age, shall be
sent to the Penitentiary The list submitted
by Mr.. Hert to the Governor was COM
posed of the names of this class of prison.
ers and that the entire batch was not or
dered transferred is due to motives of lem
iency on the part of the Governor. There
is a peculiar provision in the law which
says that transferred prisoners shall serve
the maximum sentence at the Peniten-
tiary. The intent of this provision was
that only incorrigibles should be trans
ferred, 1t not being supposed that con-
victs over thirty would be admitted at the
heIormatory and thus De supJect 70 subSe-
quent transfer. The Governor, in selecting
the prisoners to be transferred, was there
fore led to select only such as were serving
a second or third term in prison. Of the
nineteen two only were Marion county con-
victs-William Hood, who is serving a. sec
ond term, and John Wolf, who is on his
third term for robbery Both men are past
thirty years of age. OF the seventeen 9TH
ers I'VE arc serving second terms and the
rest third terms. Every one of them is over
the age for admission to the Reformatory
and are, as a matter of fact, incorrigibleS.
The only hope these men now have to es-
cape serving the maximum sentences which
the statutes provide for their several
crimes, barring executive cemency, is to so
conduct themselves that the board of pa
role of the Reformatory will remand them TO
as the constitutionality of the indetermi-
nate-sentence law is settled by the Supreme
Court it is the intention of the Governor
to see that courts strictly adhere TO the
provisions Of the law regarding the age
limit at the Refnrnna tory

Our grandmothers would as soon have
thought of going out without their hoop
skirts as of leaving their reticules at home,
ard their granddaughter are beginning to
feel themselves lost without a bag of one
kind or another Chatelaine bags made OF
fine leather are always good form, and the
newest ones are exceedingly handsome. They
are made of elephants hide and alligator.
lizard, seal and pigskin, and are mounted in
sterling silver, bright and glded and In
solid gold. Many of them are magnihcently
ieweIed. There was a tiee when these bags
were worn entirely from the belt; many OF
the late designs are carried in the hand by
means of a strong chain, and this is GER
tainly more comfortable method. Women
will not own IL to one another, but every
woman frankly admits to herself that 1t Is
anything but pleasant to have a leather bag
humping about on ones left side and get
ting caught here, there and everywhere, and
il is simply distracting to have chateIaine
from il on chains of different lengths but IL
is the thing to do--it is stylish, and that
lightens the burden. Leather bags are not
so elastic or manageable as those made OF
silk or satin. Indeed, silk bags at present
are considered more modish. Black is the
prevailing color though many bags are
made in colors to match certain gowns. The
silk bags come in endless variety of design.
Those for dress occasions are tiny affairs
Just large enough to hold u dainty handker-
chief and they have lap-over pocket. The

bags are mounted. like the leather ones, with
gold or silver and are lined with bright
colored silks or satins.

1873 for killing Edward BarIein.
JEFFERSONvILLE, Ind, Feb g.
Twelve convicts were paroled by the Board
of Managers of the Reformatory last even
ing Among them was Henry Berner, whose
story is we'll known to the public. He was
the Oldest convict in point of service in the
Reformatory, and was sent up May II, 1878,
for the murder of Edward Barlein, bar
Der, at Vincennes. Barlein was soon to be
married and had some money. Berner took
him out walking one day and Barelin never
returned Some days later his body was
found under a brush pile and Berner was
arrested for the murder. After a trial,
during which his mother sacrificed her lit
tie home TO save him, he was convicted and
sent up for life. While in Jail he married
Kate Cannon, who believed him innocent.
After he was brought TO prison she came
to this city and worked a domestic,
using her funds in trying to secure his re-
lease. A few days ago his sentence was
committed to fifty years by Governor
Mount and as was expected, his parole fol-
lowed. Berner was a first-class machinist,
and when the transfer was made he was
kept here because OF his knowledge of ma
