of the Condemned Negro
in Penitentiary.

Il am doing my best but / cannot
get religion" is the plaintive cry OF
Frank Johnson, condemned to die

plaintive exclamation was the result
of an inquiry by Acting Warden Daw-
son of the condemned prisoner, as he
sat in the death cell patiently waiting
the summons to mount the gaIlows.
as to whether or not he was prepared
to die.
Johnson has for the last week
been trying hard to become prepared
to die, but has, so far, been unable to
make his peace with his Maker. This

prisoners become very religious Just
