H Miss Morrison Goes to Landing.
If Jessie Morrison fails to get new
trial and is sent to the penitentiary,
she will be good tailor when she gets
out, for she will be put in the tailor
ing department.. "About the only
place we can work the women at the
penitentiary is either in the laundry
or the tailor shop" said Warden Ed
Jewett. 81 think we will give Jessie
aPlace in the tailor shop. If she were
q typewriter we might put her in
the Office. Women prisoners are
handled differently from the male
prisoners. We don't keep them in
single cells. We put all the women in
q couple of big rooms with doors and
windows barred. They sleep in these
rooms. Some of the beds hold two
women and some only one. The women
are brought in contract with the men
at the chapel and in that way ac-
quaintances are struck up, despite our
efforts to prevent it. Men and women
prisoners should not be at the same in
stitution by any means. We now have
&c female prisoners, and there are five
more headed. our way, including Miss
Morrison. From what can under
stand, Jessie has always borne good
reputation, and this killing is the
only thing against her. This being
true shall take special care to locate
her. The fact is that the women who
come to the penitentiary are as rule
pretty hard citizens"
