Prison Reform.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 29.-The
Rev. J. A. Milburn, in his sermon upon
prison reform this morning, took the po-
sition that first offenders should go free,
except in cases of murder, and should
rot be taken in the patrol wagon" JUS
tice courts, he holds, should be open night
and day for immediate hearing, crime
being a disease. For second offenses SEN
tence should be imposed under the inde-
terminate law, and prisons should be
graded, in the line of reform rather than
of punishment.
