BIRDS IN PENITENTIARY.
Prisoners In Salt Lake Penal Insti-
tatfon Make Friends of Watt
ing Biackbirds.

Murderers' row at the state peniten-
tiary has been cast into the depths Of
gloom. II is all because a bird of bad
omen has taken up an unbidden home in
that quarter. bringing with 1t. as the
prisoners believe. the shadow of death,
Gays the Salt Lake Herald.
A few months ago two small black
birds were captured by life prisoner
and given to one Of the men in murder
ers row. The birds were fed by the
prisoners and became pets They spent
all their time hopping about the cells
and chattering and eating from the pris-
oners' plates. For months these birGs
furnished amusement and means OF pas
time for five condemned men A few
days ago the blackbirds forsook muir
6erers' row. II Is said. and made friends
with two burglars. who are serving com
paratively short terms. Almost any day
the birds may be seen sitting on the
shoulders Of the burglars while they are
doing their work about the prison.
The birds were missed by those on muir
6erers' row. but no significance was at
tached TO their disappearance until a

into that part Of the prison and perched
upon the bars OF the row There II sat
and cooed until the prison rang with its
dirge. Since then the bird has remained
in the row. and day ard night the ears
of the condemned men have been greet
ed by its dismal song The appearance
of the bird il is said. was looked upon by
the murderers as a sign of evil. and one
OF them is said 10 have remarked that bad
luck was surely coming TO some one in
the row. AS IL In fulfillment OF this. the
word came that Nick Haworth had been
denied a new trial and must die. Then
came the unexpected news to Mortensent
that he had been denied another chance
for his life. and that he. too. must face
the executioner.
The bird still cooes. and each OF the
other three condemned men is waiting
IN anxious fear TO hear what evil Is COM

DR.. BERGSTEIN
ONCEOF NEVADA
In Trouble in San Francisco For
Not Supporting His
Children

DR.. Henry Bergstein, formerly su-
perintendent of the Nevada State In
sane Asylum, was brought before Su-
perior Judge Kerrigan yesterday in
San Francisco to explain why he had
neglected to satisfy a judgment OBJ
tained against him last August for
arrears of alimony. Bergsteins ex-
planation was not satisfactory to the
court and a continuance was granted
until today when his sister, Miss Car
rie Bergstein, will be asked to tell
why she has been collecting her
brothers book accounts and using the
proceeds.
Judge Kerrigan was of the opinion
that the assignment under which Miss
Bergstein is acting has a suspicious
appearance and requires explanation
to ascertain whether or not it is
merely a colorado transfer made to
defraud the former Mrs. Bergstein
and her children.
Although making a comfortable in
come from his practice, DR.. Bergstein
does not pay for the support of his
little ones, and seems to regard it as
a valid excuse that he prefers to pay
an alleged debt for his sister.
Mrs. Pauline Bergstein, the divorced
wife, secured a decree against Berg
stein at Reno, in 1900 She was
awarded the custody of the three chill
dren and he was directed to pay $1Oe
a month for their support. He con-
tinued the payments until May, 1901,
when he moved to San Francisco. In
August of last year Mrs. Bergstein
secured judgment against him for s675,
but he has refused to satisfy it.
On the witness stand he told Judge
Kerrigan that his present income is
$3.50 a month and that he is unable
from that sum to contribute to the
keeping of his children.
