VERELEY GETS ONE
YEAR IN THE PEN.

Molars Received severe sentence for
Manning expected to get term in the
County Jail.

A. NJ. Vere]y, who assaulted
Alderman II. II. Dolloff, near the
Second National bank several
weeks ago, was Saturday con-
yicted OF the crime Of manning.
The jury was out five hours and
they brought in the charge OF
guilty but asked for leniency
from the Judge. The man was
sentenced Monday afternoon by
Judge Palda to one year in the
penitentiary. Attorney Sutton
made a greatplea for Vereley but
Palda had dug upsome past rec
ords OF the young man and found
that his reputation had been
very bad. In giving Vere]ey his
sentence, Palda stated that had
the Jury not ask for leniency, he
Ewould have sentenced him five
times harder.
Vereley boarded with Dollof1
and refused to pay his board.
Dolloff attached Vereley,s money
and this made him SO angry that
he caught the alderman near the
bank and assaulted him in a ter
tribe manner. When the alder
man was nearly unconscious, thu
icruel young man picked up tn
ibody and struck him again
ISeveral of Mr.. Dolloff's teeth wer'
knocked out. Vereley will b.
taken to his new home in a few
days.
No one expected that Verele,
would be sentenced to the peni
tertiary but that he would get
dong term in the county jail.

Sheriff Scofeld, Judge Murray
and Deputy Sheriff Jack Shipton
returned Tuesday from Bismarck
where they took the five prison.
ers sentenced to terms in the peni-
tertiary. They were shown
through the penitentiary by
Warden Boucher. We are in
debted to Judge Murray for a
very good description of the pen
and the manner of carry |
ing on the business of the institu-
ton.
The Irvine plant is of particu-
lar interest. The Irvine made at
this penitentiary by convict la
Dor has found a place in the
market and every year thous-
ands of pounds more could be
sold. The Judge saw many pri.
soners at the penitentiary who
were sent from this county. He
talked with Carl Hanson, who
was sent up for life for the MUIR
der OF Napoleon Lemay near Ia
gus. 1t will be remembered that
Hanson was with Willie Ross, at
the time Ross was hanged Bot
tineau. Hanson looks fat but
a little pale. He said he was
treated well at the pen but wished
for his freedom. He inquired
about his Msnot acquaintances>
The warden stated that Hanson
was a model prisoner Hanson
is in charge OF some of the cells.
He also waits on the tables and
ia that 1anner gets better grub
than the Others. The warden
explained that lie prisoners al
ways got the best jobs. John
Gustav the horse thief is making
Irvine by the side of a big tall
Indian sent for numbering his
wife. The big Indian is dressed
in stripped pants, a whiteha and
a hickory shirt and Gustav who
lisa short'fel looks very odd
by the big buck. Oldham Kent,
the Mandan wife murderer. was
pointed out to the Judge. Kent
1got his hired man to kihhis wife
and Was sent to the pen for life.
The prisoners arenot supposed
to lock up when visitors are
passing through. They are not
allowed to talk to each other.
They make their lives at the pen
dtentiry pleasant or miserable,
just as Obey choose. Thewarden
explains to each prisoner who
comes there that if their rules
are lived up to strictly, the pri-
soner gets along we'll. But if he
does not obey, his life will be one
OF miaery. They have a library
which at times the prisoners have
access to. The dining room is
used fora chapel on Sundays.
There are now 100 prisoners
in the pen, including one woman
who was sentenced for seven
years for passing bogus money,
The warden was glad OF the ad-
dition from Ward County, as he
needed the men for certain work,

ers arrived, the guards lost no
time in shingling their hair and
cutting off their mustaches if
they had any. They were then
given bath and assigned their
future places. Their old clothes
are burned unless returned to
friends or relatives. 1fthey have
any valuabes, they are given in
charge of the warden and are
given back when the prisoner
regains his freedom. Hemay use
the money ifhe chooses in buying
fruit or other luxuries such as
toilet soap. Judge Murray
handed the Warden a dollar tell
ing him to buy Carl Hanson some
fruit.
