forts several life sentences have been
commuted and more than one pardon
secured.
His work at the prison has attracted
a great deal OF outside interest More
than one offer has been made him OF
employment The proposition that Machen
considers most favorably is the manage
ment Of an audit system company that
it is proposed 10 establish in Washing
ton.
Machen is determined 10 make Wash
ington his quarters for the time being.
