Story of Greatest Corrective Institution

SALTWATER, Mimi, April 15.-(Spe-
hal -Coleman Younger was seen at the
mison this morning, and in speaking of
ghe Wilson bill which intended to pro-
vide a means whereby life prisoners
could be released from prison on parole,
Cole said:
while the failure of the bill is some
what of a disappointment to my brother
Jim and myself, there still remains the
satisfaction that 80 many true and noble
men stood up for us and other life pris-
oners In this Institution. I have no word
of complaint to make against any one
who opposed the bill, feeling satisfied
that they were actuated by what they
considered the best interest Of the state
and community, but words fail to ex-
press my appreciation of the noble men,
not only in the legislature, but in every
walk of life, who did everything in their
power for fallen humanity without
money or without price. We can never
forget them, and should luck ever turn
our way we will show by our acts that
their efforts were not in vain.

some localities that II we were liberated

the conditions of our parole, but let me
say right here that there are no more
apreeiative boys in the state than we
are, and We would certainly have en-
deavored In our humble way to live up
to the rules of society. No spirit of re-
venge or hatred permeates my being,
and Brother Jim 1 know feels as I do.
During our long period of confinement
IN the Minnesota state prison we have
learned to love and cherish her favored
sons and daughters, and no word or act
on our part would ever cause them to re-
Eret any effort made in our behalf.
I'VE have been here now since Nov. 20,
1876, and our records here will show that
we have tried to meet every requirement
of the prison. If we have ever failed in
this particular the fault lay with the
mind and not the heart, for our every
effort has been to make recompense for
past deeds OF course we court freedom
and fresh air and would like to meet
friends and kindred on the outside and
whenever there is an effort made to do
something for US our hearts boil over
with gratitude. We would like to go back
to our native state, and although the

walk out of the prison gates to begin life
anew among friends
I'm regard to the raid at Mortified, in
1876, I might say just a few words. When
we made up our minds to rob the bank
there positive orders were given to every
man not to shoot with the intention of
killing any one. If shooting was to be
done it was only to scare and not to
kill. In the first place we didn't look
for a fight. We intended to do our work
quietly and get out of the village before
