MUST DIE WITH A FULL BEARD.
Prisoner Under Sentence Of Death Re
fuses Razor With Which to Shave.

NEWCASTLE, Pa, Dec. 13.-Frank
Johnson, a prisoner, under sentence
of death in the county Jail, has been
forced to grow a full beard against his
will by reason of a ruling of the coun-
ty commissioners
When Johnson was locked up under
the death penalty his razor was taken
from him for fear that he would at
tempt suicide. He insisted, however,
that he be shaved, and Sheriff Ayers,
who confiscated his razor secured a
barber for the prisoner.
When the BARRIERS bill was presented
it amounted to $21, representing for
ty-two shaves at so cents each. For
this the commissioners refused to au-
thorize payment and as a result the
barber refused to shave the prisoner.

Very Little Grading.


Mr.. Olmsted believes that it would
require very little grading and but few
changes to transform it into a place
which could be enjoyed by all. He IS
Of the opinion that the close proximity
of the gas tanks would not interfere
in the least with Vthe location as the
prevailing winds carry the odor away
from the site.
When asked concerning the plot of
ground In the eastern part Of town
owned by the city, lie states that a
grave mistake would be made in selling
any portion Of it. 1t is comparatively
level and would make an ideal location
for ball parks and other amusements.
"a city of walla Walla's size," says Mr..
Olmsted, SHOULD have at least four diff
ferent public squares or play grounds
for the children. The city is growing
very rapidly and with in a very few
years nothing will be available unless
1t is too far out"
Other Locations.
Mr.. Olmsted has other locations un.
der consideration but believes the one
heal Sixth street to be better for all
concerned as it has a population on
three sides of it.
Mr.. Olmsted is being driven Over the
city again today.
]. w. Langdon, president of the park
commission said this morning that the
commission went about the city and
suburbs with Mr.. Olmsted yesterday
afternoon and this morning and were
much impressed with his broad views.
He said that every part Of the city and
vicinity had been visited from as far
out as Governor Moore's residence to
the penitentiary and that no attempt
was made in any way to influence Mr..
Olmsted in favor of improving any part
Of the city. He was shown the whole
city and was left entirely free to sug-
gest plans which would be of the
greatest benefit to beautify the city as
a whole and not any particular sec
ton of it.
