had no proper carly training. rs he has
grown up In prison. In this letter
Woode says:
"At tho time OF my trial some doubt
existed in the mind Of the court as to
whether or not could legally be sent
to penal institution, being SO young,
and the Judge took 1t upon himself to
pass an opinion before submitting 1t to
the Jury, and by so doing he made q
law. Instead of giving me the benefit
of the doubt the Judge sent me here
when I was but eleven years of age to
mingle amid and receive my educa-
tion from what is considered the worst
element of human nature-the GRIM
inal. Hence from point of moral law
he committed crime In sending me
to the penitentiary instead of the re-
form school. A child's mind was ere
ated to take on Impressions and I was
no exception to the rule; is it sur.
prising to find me SIX years later in
the company of the three men who
planned the escape IL which the late
Mr.. w. G. Rooney lost his life? Yet
I thought so much of what was right
that did not have anything to do
with the crime; nay, even ten minutes
before 1t happened ! never dreamed
that any event of its nature was afoot.
and from then on | was compelled to
act the part did or give my life"
