The only visitors allowed 70 see
the prisoner are Mr. Stone, a Chica'

mitted to hold converse with him.
His little room on the second floor
OF the prison hospital is shared with
two other hospital attendants and
convicts, one negro. Besides the
trio Of iron cots, exactly like those
used in army barracks, there is
scarcely any other furniture In the
room. Nothing but his thoughts serve
to recall the pleasure loving life dur
ing those years he spent in the South.
All the prisoners who are able must
have some occupation, and to the
former army officer fell the duty Of
keeping the books in the manufactur-
ing department There is a certain
amount OF work that must be per-
formed in prison. and the warden Of
Fort Leayenworth says II Is his plan
10 place the prisoners where they will
be able TO do the most work, and the
best. and at the same time continue in
good health.
