Conditional liberty has been
granted twenty-eight Dannemora

in all were received by the board.
but after hearing testimony it was
decided that twenty-five of them
could not be granted. The others,
however, convinced the members
Of the board that they had oppor-
tunity of steady employment in
event of their release and they in
tended to lead an honest life in
the future. On the present tour
of the state prisons the board has
paroled ninety. eight prisoners,

trees were about City feet thru and
about two hundred feet tall. They
growed 30 close together that q
man would have to be built like q
clothes pole in order to get be-
tween them. The deer were as
big as Texas steers and had horns
ten feet across. They were so
wild that ye couldn't get within a

trees loike a streak of lightning.
